In reply to: [Plugin: Shashin] Album Name and DescriptionHi – that setting for the album description is for the [salbumthumbs] and [salbumlist] tags.
You can hide the title and description with [salbumphotos] using css. If you look in shashin.css, you’ll find .shashin_caption_title and .shashin_caption_description – add “display: none;” to these, and then they won’t show up anymore.
Save your edited shashin.css to your active theme folder, and Shashin will find it there. That way you won’t lose your customizations the next time you upgrade Shashin.

In reply to: [Plugin: Shashin] repeating albumsHi Razvan – can you give me a link so I can see this, and let me know exactly which tag you are using? Also, which version of Shashin are you using? I fixed an issue very similar to this in the previous patch (version 2.3.4), but maybe you are experiencing something different.

In reply to: [Plugin: Shashin] Update of random state by image does not workHi – I’ll check on this and find the problem (I just released a new version with some other bug fixes, but I didn’t see your post before releasing it, so it’s not fixed yet).

In reply to: [Plugin: Shashin] On Mouse ControlsHi – yes, you can do that. Look for the function getHeadTags in Shashin.php. At line 674 you’ll see:
hideOnMouseOut: false
Change it to:
hideOnMouseOut: true
Other overlay options are described at:

In reply to: [Plugin: Shashin] A little feature patch.Hi Brian – sorry for the late reply. I’d like to include editor buttons for Shashin. I’ve been thinking about that for a while but haven’t had time to do it. In the next release I’ll include your changes, and hopefully in the release after that I’ll start including some editor buttons.

In reply to: [Plugin: Shashin] A little feature patch.Hi Brian – this is really nice work. I’ll definitely include some (maybe all) of it in the next version of Shashin, if that’s ok with you. I’d be curious to hear from other Shashin users, to see which features you added that they like best.
The only features I’m hesitant about are the ones that make the argument lists longer in the Shashin tags. I already get emails from new Shashin users who need help – they feel there’s already a learning curve to using Shashin. I don’t want that learning curve to get too steep (even I have to refer back to the documentation sometimes when writing Shashin tags).
But I really like some of your ideas, especially the slideshow for single images (very clever!), and the option for setting an ordering key for displaying albums. What do other folks like?

In reply to: Where do Shashin images live?Sorry for the late reply – I wasn’t keeping up with the forums last month. I fixed the documentation to say “Settings” tab now, since it’s no longer called “Options.”
Shashin displays your photos directly from Picasa. It stores metadata about the photos locally to do things that would be impossible if it relied solely on reading the Picasa RSS feed on the fly. For example, with Shashin you can create a slideshow of pictures from any combination of albums. To do that without local metadata, I’d have to parse, on the fly, the RSS feeds for every one of the albums involved, which would likely make it unusably slow. It also lets Shashin store data about your photos that doesn’t exist in Picasa. For example, you can choose to exclude certain photos from Shashin’s random photo displays.
The new browser window option means that if you click the thumbnail on your site, the full size version will open up in a new window directly at Picasa (i.e. not using Highslide). I’m not aware of a problem with this feature, but if it’s still giving you trouble, let me know.

In reply to: [Plugin: Shashin] Upgrade troubleSorry about that. I just uploaded a fix. I had inadvertently removed a line of code for adding a column to the Shashin photos table. That line is back now and if you download Shashin 2.2.1 from right here at wordpress.org, it should work fine now.
Note you need to deactivate and reactivate Shashin after upgrading, and the sync *all* your albums (click the “Sync all” button)

In reply to: Picasa Latest Photo Thumb?Shashin can show the latest photos from an album now. My next step will be to make it work as a widget.
