Now I am seeing the error. Your “Dag 1” album thumbnail is causing a server error when I click it. But without access to the server I can’t see what the error is. Could you give me the Picasa (or Google+) URL for that album? Then I can add it to my copy of Shashin and I’ll try to create the same error. (You can email the URL to me if you don’t want to post it here).

Happy to help. You can send me an email through my contact form: http://www.toppa.com/contact

Hi – display of the social connect buttons in prettyPhoto is handled in javascript, not css. You’ll want to open shashin/public/display/shashin.js, and look for this, near the top of the file, and add “social_tools: false”, like I have here (don’t forget to also add a comma at the end of the previous line):

$("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto({
            theme: shashinJs.prettyPhotoTheme,
            overlay_gallery: !!(shashinJs.prettyPhotoOverlayGallery-0),
            default_width: shashinJs.prettyPhotoDefaultWidth-0,
            default_height: shashinJs.prettyPhotoDefaultHeight-0,
            show_title: !!(shashinJs.prettyPhotoShowTitle-0),
            autoplay_slideshow: !!(shashinJs.prettyPhotoAutoplaySlideshow-0),
            slideshow: shashinJs.prettyPhotoSlideshow-0,
            social_tools: false
        });

The same set of options is repeated further down in the file, at line 146, so you’ll want to make the same update there. I’ll remove the duplication in the next version of Shashin, and I’ve been thinking of adding this as a setting that can be managed on the Shashin settings page.

I’m afraid I don’t understand your second question – there is already a link to view the full-size version in the caption – do you mean something else?

I think what you are looking for is the auto-play slidehsow option. Go to the Shashin settings page, then click the tab for PrettyPhoto Settings, and you’ll see it there.

Let me know if I’m misunderstanding the question.

Sorry for the late reply. I took a look at the code for that plugin. It appears to be taking control of the HTML editor, and replacing the toolbar with its own toolbar (which looks just like the original one). That’s why the P2P button doesn’t even show up. There really isn’t anything I can do about it from my end. I’m following the rules of the Quicktags API ( http://codex.wordpress.org/Quicktags_API ) but they seem to be completely bypassing it.

Sorry for the late reply. Were you using the Highslide for Shashin add-on? That section of the code (around line 68 of ShashinWp.php) is intended to automatically deactivate it (as the new version of Shashin no longer supports it). It sounds like something is going wrong in your case. Please try deleting the Highslide for Shashin add-on if you have it. If that’s not the issue, let me know.

Sorry for the late reply. I originally developed Shashin to work with Highslide, which was the best photo viewer back then (2006!). I eventually had to remove Highslide because its license conflicts with the GPL (which means it’s not allowed in the wordpress.org plugin repository). At that point I switched to Fancybox v1, which was the only decent GPL compatible photo viewer I could find (v2 is not GPL compatible). But it had limitations which required me to do a lot of extra work (mainly technical issues with videos, and it’s inability to follow redirects, which Twitpic uses). PrettyPhoto switched to being GPL compatible recently, and its more robust than Fancybox v1, so I switched again (but Fancybox is still included as an option).

I’ve fiddled with other viewers but those are the only 3 I’ve tested extensively, so I don’t have any other favorites.

Setting up another viewer is pretty straightforward -just follow the instructions on the Shashin settings page under the “other viewer settings” tab. There is one limitation though – some extra custom javascript would be needed to make it work if you want to use it for viewing album photos (i.e. using the shortcode for displaying album thumbnails, and then clicking the thumbnail to view the album’s photos). If there’s a viewer you want to try for this, let me know and I can help.
