Extension talk:Picasa2Gallery

Picasa2Gallery UPLOAD IMAGES (from picasa to MediaWiki server) ALSO?? - will be soon.

The gentleman who wrote this extension was very very helpful in addressing the specific issue I had with implementing it on my site. I hope you all have the same experience.

It appears the link to the download is broken - April 2, 2008, link is available again, downloaded and installed seamlessly.

There is a Bug in Picasa2Gallery2.0.zip
The File Picasa2.php has some blank lines at the end. they will produse thies error message:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at W:\xampp\htdocs\wiki\extensions\Picasa2.php:167) in W:\xampp\htdocs\wiki\includes\WebResponse.php on line 10

Delete this blank lines so that the end of file lokks like this:

/*******************************************************************************/ ?>

Problems to run Picasa2Gallery2.0 with skin mistylook
I'm using the skin mistylook for my Mediawiki. Picasa2gallery is installed and works with all other skins. But when I try mistylook, the thums show up underlined (a:hover) and the images are shown on a blank new page.

An idea, what could be wrong in mistylook?

Causes trouble with MediaWiki 1.14.0
This extension doesn't work with MediaWiki 1.14.0 - I get the following error:

PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare wfprinterror (previously declared in /somepath/wiki/extensions/Picasa2.php:146) in /somepath/wiki/includes/Exception.php on line 312

Fast and dirty workaround to get it running again: Edit picasa2.php and replace wfprinterror by wfprinterror2 ...... I'm not sure if this is the best idea, but it works

cannot be used with maps
seems that this extension causes maps to fail Is there a simple fix? Im using MW 1.15, with Semantic Forms, Maps and Semantic Maps. I have admired how this extension works but now need to either have maps or Picasa2Gallery! I have attempted to use earlier versions but with no luck. Desperate for a fix!

Bug in /extensions/Picasa2/PicasaAlbum.php
I had a lot of error massages, using PHP 5.3+. In PHP 5.2 it seems to be ok, but extension causes a lot of errors in error log of apache server.

Changing first line of /extensions/Picasa2/PicasaAlbum.php solved problems and extension works fine (for me).

Change

<?

to

<?php

Can't load more than 25 files
I try to load many files. Java plugin runs ok, but after upload nothing happens. If I check my web-folder it contains just 25 files in the folder "gallery/images". If I upload just few files, all works well. What can be the issue? -- this extension does not work properly, its a waste of time, search something else.
