Hi,
I run a website with over 300 artists that all have their own galleries. At the moment they are pretty timeconsuming to update, so I was thinking that perhaps Picasa would help me. I do however want to keep them in the same style as the rest of the website. I guess you have done this. Do you think it would be possible to do without too much programming skill?

I just noticed that the other day. I’m guessing it’s a change in the feed structure that is causing it the time out. I plan on looking at in soon to get that fixed.

This is the closest thing yet to what I need. (first Picasa feed system where you can get more than one album), only your enlarged images are not appearing for me.

In short, it is possible, but involves setting up a full website as this demo shows. You end up with your own website, with the look and feel you want, but the images are provided by Picasa. That’s basically what this example and codebase is for.

I’m a photographer looking to customize my picasa web album and link it to my website. I want to cover all the picasa goolge stuff. Is that possible. I’m not a major computer person but I can use photoshop. If there is a way to create a template to cover everything except the pictures I’d love to know. Please Help.
Thanks

@law: That site is great, you’ve done a really nice job streamlining the customization process and making it easy for people to use, great idea.

This is a great solution for the Picasa photo problem. I came up with a way that parses out the img tags from the rss feed, little less elegant than your solution but it does the job. I’ve got the source of my solution over at http://code.lawpower.net if you’re interested. Kinda wish I saw your site first though.

Also, if all you want to do is share some pictures from a picasa album, I just launched a site for the non-coders out there at http://sharemyalbum.com. Makes it easy to prettify your picasa albums, even your mom can figure it out.

Nathan,

You might try looking at your adroit.conf.php file, and making sure the WEB_ROOT is set to ‘/gallery/webroot/’ for your setup. You’ll also want to make sure that that is setup in .htaccess file for the RewriteBase. If those don’t work let me know.
