In reply to: [Shashin] Displaying Album DescriptionsThe good news is Shashin already saves the album descriptions, it’s just not displaying them. The question is where you want to show it. If you want to add it to the caption, look in shashin/public/ShashinAlbumDisplayer.php, and look for the setCaption method. Then look through the methods it is then calling in turn. You can see how the properties are accessed. For the description, it would be $this->dataObject->description. Let me know if that’s enough of a hint or if you need more detail.

In reply to: [Shashin] How to re-sort my albums id?If you backed up the Shashin database tables as part of the backup and restore, the album and photo IDs would be the same (this is strongly recommended in the Shashin readme). If you just added the albums without backing up first, then the IDs will not be the same. The only way to get the old IDs back would be to restore a copy of the previous Shashin tables.

In reply to: [Shashin] Find Shashin photo IDIf you go to the Shashin tools menu, and click on any album title, you can see thumbnails of all the photos in the album, and their Shashin IDs. But I’m puzzled you can no longer use the Add Media option. It should work with all recent versions of WordPress. The only thing I can think of is that there may be an incompatibility with some other plugin. Have you added any plugins recently that also use the media menu?

In reply to: [Shashin] Shashin refresh not workingSorry again for being late. I just added the album you gave the links for (using the Picasa link) on my local site, and it added just fine. I then synchronized it without any trouble either. So I’m not sure why you’re getting an error saying Shashin can’t parse the feed. If you want to contact me through the contact form on my site ( http://www.toppa.com/contact ) we can try to do some debugging by email (I can give you some debugging statements to add to the code through the plugin editor).

In reply to: [Shashin] Editing Captions for AlbumsSorry for the late reply. You can adjust these through CSS. The caption is in the class .shashinThumbnailCaption and the class for the date is .shashinAlbumCaptionDate. See here http://www.toppa.com/shashin-wordpress-plugin/#stylesheets

In reply to: [Shashin] Adding New Album – ProblemSorry for the late reply. When I go to https://picasaweb.google.com/109980084671236762181/Miscellaneous I get the message “Sorry, that page was not found.” If it’s a private album, you need to include it’s authkey at the end of the URL when you put it in the Shashin form, like https://picasaweb.google.com/109980084671236762181/Miscellaneous?authkey=put-your-authkey-here

In reply to: [Shashin] Shashin refresh not workingSorry for the late reply. Are you still getting this error? (I just want to make sure it wasn’t a temporary probem at Picasa). If it’s still a problem, please give me the link to view the album at Picasa or Google+ (that is, the link you put into the “add albums” form – then I can try to add the album on my testing site).

In reply to: [Shashin] Shashin WidgetHello – sorry for the delay writing back. For #1, on the shashin widget menu, select “random” in the “order” menu, and leave the “Photo IDs” blank (also put a number in the “limit” field to indicate how many random photos you want).
There is no feature for what you’ve described in #2

In reply to: [Shashin] Upgrade from old versionHi – in the current version, I removed the dependency on the Toppa Plugins library, as that was the cause of most problems people ran into (I learned the hard way that dependencies between plugins can create various subtle complications…). So you should be fine, but I have not tried upgrading specifically from that older version to the current version. If you run into any trouble, let me know. (I’m checking the box so I’ll get notified of any follow-ups posts).

In reply to: [Shashin] Can't seem to make photo table look the same as album tableOk – I see what you mean now. Try adding
position="center"to your shashin tag

In reply to: [Shashin] Can't seem to make photo table look the same as album tableI’m not seeing a centering problem. The photos look centered to me in Google Chrome. What browser are you using?

In reply to: [Shashin] Can't seem to make photo table look the same as album tableHi – I used the Google Chrome Developer Tools to inspect your css. Your theme’s stylesheet is applying a “float: left” to all images. On the album thumbnails, something is overriding this (which is good, but I didn’t check to to see what). Then when you click to see the photos, the override goes away for some reason (I didn’t check why). When the images float, they become detached from their containing div, so the border no longer appears.
In your shashin.css, under .shashinThumbnailImage try adding “float: none;”. If that doesn’t work, try “float: none !important;”

In reply to: [Shashin] Picasaweb links brokenThanks for explaining. I haven’t tested the scenario you’re describing, but the behavior makes sense to me. If you change the permissions on an album to ‘Limited, anyone with link’ then an “authkey” is needed in the URL to access the album’s data feed, and Shashin doesn’t have the authkey, so you get the “album not found” error. But if you then add the album again, like you did, Shashin will recognize you’re adding an album it already knows about (so the photo IDs don’t change) and it will add the album’s authkey. So, yes, you’ll need to re-add each album that had its permissions changed,.
