WordPress Plugin for Displaying Picasa Photos
There are so many cool plugins in WordPress Plugin repository which helps you fetch your flickr photo albums directly to your WordPress blog post through your WordPress WYSIWYG editor but there is nothing if you wish to import your Google Picasa Web album into your WordPress Post/Pages.
There is one guy working hard on this, Michael Toppa has come up with a WordPress Plugin for Displaying Picasa Photos. Shashin is a WordPress Plugin you can download and play around your Google Picasa Web Albums.
What you can do with this plugin:
- Embed a gallery of your Picasa albums, and all the photos and videos in each album, with customizable pagination of photos.
- Highslide comes included with Shashin, for displaying your images and videos. You can configure Shashin to work with other viewers as well, such as Lightbox, Thickbox, Fancybox, etc.
- Pick individual photos or videos to display, in any size supported by Picasa.
- Pick photos and videos from any combination of albums to display in groups of thumbnails.
- Show thumbnails of your newest photos and videos, from one or more albums.
- Display album thumbnails for albums you choose, or all your albums, sorted however you like. Includes links to Google Maps.
- Display any number of random photos and videos, from one or more albums. You can also choose to exclude certain photos or albums from random display.
- Use widgets for all of the above!
- Optionally include camera EXIF data in photo captions.
- Dynamically set thumbnail sizes or columns to suit the width of your theme (useful if you change themes in the future).
- Internationalization: Shashin is designed to support translations into other languages, and comes with several translations (please contribute a translation if you’re bilingual!).
- Customize the Shashin and Highslide stylesheets to suit the theme of your site.
- Schedule daily automatic synchronization of Shashin with your Picasa albums.
I have just used it on one of my client’s site and can’t hold myself to share it with you with shashin.

That looks really cool. A great way to easily add a photo gallery to your blog, but really cool to add an image to individual posts as well.

I was using Picasa until I found Flickr and actually moved my photos there
But again, I don’t use Flickr much. I upload my personal photos on Facebook now lol

The tag settings control the layout of the album thumbnails. When you click a thumbnail, the page will reload and show the photos in that album (unless you picked Picasa in the Shashin settings menu for “expanded image display” – then it will link directly to Picasa). The layout of the album photos is controlled in the Shashin Settings menu.
Nice! Now just one question. How much of a resource hog is this plugin? Is it going to slow down your blog? That’s all I’m concerned about, especially seeing that the algorithms have been paying extra attention to page load speed these days.
I am using it one of my client’s site. i can say that its consume less resource then any other plugin of this sort. [ I hate NextGen Gallery]
I got the following error when i tried to import images from my picasa..
Warning: strpos() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in C:\wamp\www\wordpress\wp-admin\includes\media.php on line 310
What is the solution for this.
