Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Picasa XML plugin?I’ve created my own version of a Picasa to WP plugin. It has taken longer than expected but it’s getting to the point where I’ll make it available if any of you want to give it a go.
I’ve made it so that every photo is its own post but outside of the chronological order kind of like a static page but the posts won’t show up on the static menu either. The benefits of that are now I can have comments for each individual picture as well.
I’ve created an options page where you can choose how many thumbnails you want to show at one time as well as how many you want to show in an archive page.
I’m working on enabling custom templates for gallery pages and individual photo pages as well so I can make templates with enough room to show the bigger photos. In the future I also hope to allow for Rewrite options so I can get rid of the query string.
All of the text used in the posts came from the Picasa captions (album caption as well as individual photo captions).
As far as I can tell it is similar to Hi-Fi’s in the way that you upload the exported albums to a specific folder via ftp. The difference is when I log on I go to Manage -> WPicasa and the unpublished albums are listed there. One click and it publishes the photo pages and album page.

In reply to: Picasa XML plugin?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 [email protected].

In reply to: Problem with login administrator v. 1.5Check if you have cookies enabled on your browser because WP uses cookies for authentification. You may also want to delete your browser cookies if your web address had changed for some reason.

In reply to: re-install wordpress 1.5If you don’t have any data in your tables then delete the tables as well. The WP install script installs the tables and won’t install them if they already exist.

In reply to: There’s a hope for nice guys…I understand that you are concerned with the content and not the design … but the lack of a unique design communicates to me that the site isn’t that important to the site owner.
I’m not saying that not having a unique design means that you don’t like your own site, but that a visitor who hasn’t read this WordPress support thread could get that idea.

In reply to: jeremyleffel.com the beginningThanks for the replies. I was wondering if any of you who visit it could give me some help testing browsers.
So far these work (as far as I can tell):
- Internet Explorer 6
- Firefox 1.0
- Netscape 7
- Safari 1.2
- Mozilla 1.7
If you experience any problems, please post and maybe leave information such as Browser/Version, Dialup/Broadband, and your OS.
Thanks

In reply to: Plugins and adding menu items to the Admin?My admin-functions.php file only has the add_options_pages() function. Perhaps I need to get the one off the CVS.

Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Plugins and adding menu items to the Admin?Wait there is more!
You have to register your function withadd_action().
So continuing with the example from above, somewhere in your plugin script (the php file in your plugin folder) put this line:add_action('admin_menu','add_to_menu');
Replace 'add_to_menu' with whatever the name of the function you have manipulating the admin menu.
If you want the order of the menu to be correct, in the wp-admin/menu.phpfile, move the line:ksort($menu);
And place after the line:
do_action(‘admin_menu’,”);`
