Title: Picasa XML plugin? Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Picasa XML plugin? * [shinyidolcom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shinyidolcom/) * (@shinyidolcom) * [21 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/picasa-xml-plugin/) * so I am not that great about these things, but I really like the galleries that Picasa makes. They have a raw XML output. Would it be possible to make a plugin or tool that you could add galleries that look like your template? * just a thought.

Since a good simple gallery that is easy is difficult to come across for WP. * I’ve tried G2, and found it to be very slow. I’ve tried Coppermine, and found it to be far beyond what I need. I’ve tried Exibit, and couldn’t get it to work. I’ve tried RumGallery, and couldn’t get it to work either. * Picasa galleries are just so clean and simple. Image, click to view, click button for next. * Just an idea. Might be out of the question. I added a 12 photo XML output here [http://paste.uni.cc/6654](http://paste.uni.cc/6654) * [blueorder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blueorder/) * (@blueorder) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/picasa-xml-plugin/#post-128905) * Have you tried Simple PHP Gallery? [http://relativelyabsolute.com/spg/](http://relativelyabsolute.com/spg/) * That is the one I use and wasn’t hard to integrate… * [Roy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roy/) * (@roy) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/picasa-xml-plugin/#post-128906) * I’m using [Minigal](http://www.minigal.dk/) It’s a galleri using flatfile instead of MySql. They are coming with a new release soon. * [sucresemoule](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sucresemoule/) * (@sucresemoule) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/picasa-xml-plugin/#post-128928) * I have just developped a php4 script that parses the Picasa XML and generates web pages. [http://www.yswood.com/picaweb](http://www.yswood.com/picaweb) * It uses Smarty (for caching and templates) and is very fast and very configurable. * No database needed. * [Beau Collins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beaucollins/) * (@beaucollins) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/picasa-xml-plugin/#post-128940) * I’m in the middle of developing a plugin for myself to use to help integrate WP with Picasa. I want to see how useful others may find it. * This is basically how it would work: * 1. Export Picasa Photo album with the XML option 2. Upload that folder (via ftp) to a user specified folder in the wp-content folder 3. Go to Manage -> Picasa in your WP admin where the uploaded albums are listed. 4. Click on an album which creates a post that you can add content to, write about it, and publish it. * Each album will be a single post, not each photo. I’m building in some configurable options that I would use such as being able to choose a custom template for posts that are Picasa albums. * This plugin will only be useful to those who can access ftp to upload folders to their server, otherwise I haven’t found a way to upload complete directories via a html/broswer interface. * I have written the script that parses the xml and creates posts from uploaded folders but haven’t created the gallery viewing portion. * If it sounds useful to you and there are some certain features that you think would be nice email me at [beaucollins@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/picasa-xml-plugin/beaucollins@gmail.com?output_format=md). * [Jaqueline](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jaqueline/) * (@jaqueline) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/picasa-xml-plugin/#post-128941) * Very interesting! I use PICASA at my own computer, and I was searching it´s relation to the “Hello” service (I saw something about it at Orkut). If you need a tester, I can do it. I´m just making a whole new website with WP 1.5, so, just after that I will migrate my real website to the 1.5 new templates/plugins/ features. 🙂 * I upgraded my old website to 1.5 and I´m sooo sad I lost the “Add” button of the Wp-Photos , and I´m so stuped to make it work again. * [high-fidelity](https://wordpress.org/support/users/high-fidelity/) * (@high-fidelity) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/picasa-xml-plugin/#post-128959) * I’ve created a little plugin… you just upload the exported XML gallery to /wp- content/galleries/NAME and then instert something like { gallery [NAME] } in your post and it’ll replace that string with all the thumbnail images, which are linked to the full size images that picasa has exported for you. * Quick and simple, but works pretty well for me. A quick example at [http://www.benlyall.com/](http://www.benlyall.com/) * The only post on that page contains only three lines, which are { gallery [Enzo]}{ gallery [Airshow] } { gallery [Airshow 2] } * If anyone is interested, let me know. * [armageddondesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/armageddondesign/) * (@armageddondesign) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/picasa-xml-plugin/#post-128960) * High Fidelity, * The output for that is really clean. I like it a lot. I was thinking that using your plugin plus EzStatic, it would be really easy to create multiple standalone gallery pages. * Are you planning on releasing your plugin for mass consumption? * [tyggy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tyggy/) * (@tyggy) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/picasa-xml-plugin/#post-128961) * High Fidelity, Everyone is in need of such a plug!

It is useable though, which is pretty good. * Check out [http://www.benlyall.com/](http://www.benlyall.com/) for more info, and a download link. * Ben. * [NuclearMoose](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nuclearmoose/) * (@nuclearmoose) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/picasa-xml-plugin/#post-128963) * Hi-Fi, * I just installed your plugin, and it’s misbehaving. Specifically, it is looking for the gallery folder in `wp-content/plugins/...` and not simply under `wp-content/ galleries/galleryname/`.
