In reply to: [Shashin] Google albums to the wordpress site using ShashinIt’s tough to debug remotely since you are just getting a blank screen with no error message. If you’re comfortable giving me a temporary login to your wp-admin, I can debug it. Send me a message through my contact form: http://www.toppa.com/contact/ — then we can email each other.

In reply to: [Shashin] Migrate to new WordPress instanceShashin has its own database tables, but I would expect a WP backup tool to handle it. But I haven’t tried doing a backup and restore with any of the WordPress backup tools – which one are you using? It sounds like it’s not making an exact copy of the database tables. If you have access to phpMyAdmin, you can backup the tables yourself. There’s a tutorial in the codex – http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database#Using_phpMyAdmin

In reply to: [Post-to-Post Links II] Compatible with ultimate tinymce plug-inI just installed Ultimate TinyMCE on my site, and Post to Post Links II continued to work as before (including on the HTML Editor, in combination with my Extensible HTML Editor Buttons plugin).

In reply to: [Shashin] Google albums to the wordpress site using ShashinHmmm… ok – did it work at any point after you upgraded to 3.2.6, or did adding/syncing albums immediately stop working after you upgraded? Please try deactivating and reactivating Shashin from your plugin admin page (the WordPress plugin upgrade process doesn’t actually do a deactivation and reactivation). If that doesn’t help, let me know, and we can dig deeper.

In reply to: [Shashin] [suggestion] more responsive layoutIt’s a good idea. I already have it on the issues list – https://github.com/toppa/Shashin/issues/38
I’m trying to decide whether to give up on tables or not. The advantage of tables is that its straightforward to programmatically control the the number of columns. But you’re correct it’s harder to make them responsive.

In reply to: [Post-to-Post Links II] Fatal error: Class 'ToppaFunctions' not foundThanks for posting the error message. I thought I had removed all those dependencies, but I missed one. I’ll upload a fix tonight.

In reply to: [Shashin] One of the most comprehensive & flexible Gallery pluginsThanks for the kind words Mark. In regard to featured images, many have asked for it, and I always thought it wasn’t possible (for example, see here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpresss-utterly-hateful-featured-image-crap )
But I just did some checking again, and found a way to do it (this example is for a youtube video, but the idea can be applied to any remote image – http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/25808/setting-a-posts-featured-image-from-an-embedded-youtube-video )
I’ve added it to the to-do list: https://github.com/toppa/Shashin/issues/39
The caveats are:
* the featured image is pulled into WP and stored locally, so it won’t stay synchronized with any changes to the remote version.
* once it becomes a featured image, it’s not a Shashin image – that is, it’s not displayed through a Shashin shortcode, so it won’t get an expanded view in Shashin’s Fancybox.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Shashin] Add Album does not function on production wordpressShashin uses the WordPress WP_Http class, which tries multiple methods to send requests for your album feeds. This error means all those methods are disabled in your PHP configuration. See the first paragraph here – you’ll need to enable at least one of the listed methods: http://planetozh.com/blog/2009/08/how-to-make-http-requests-with-wordpress/

In reply to: [Shashin] Add Album does not function on production wordpressWhen you say it won’t create an album, do you get an error message when you try to add it? Also, could you try adding a Google+ album?
I just debugged a problem someone else was having, which turned out to be caused by their version of PHP being configured to exclude the DOM libraries, which Shashin relies on for adding Picasa albums. So check your PHP configuration for that on the new server (you can call phpinfo(), and look for “–disable-dom”).

In reply to: [Shashin] Suboptimal image resizing problemThanks for pointing this out. When I wrote the code for handling sizing, Picasa only allowed you to request photos from a limited set of sizes. For example, 600 was not a valid option – you had to choose either 576 or 640. Now it looks like you can get any size you want from Picasa. When I added support for Twitpic and Youtube, I wanted to provide a consistent user experience with the sizes (as Twitpic also had a limited set of sizes, which were different from Picasa’s). So Shashin picks the next largest valid size from whatever size you specify, and then relies on browser scaling.
I’ve added this to the issues list: https://github.com/toppa/Shashin/issues/37

In reply to: [Shashin] downstair prev |next linkUnfortunately no. A table caption can only be displayed once. But others have asked for this too. I will try to come up with a different solution in the next version.
