Google Videos Only Album does not show

So added video_size parameter and still doesn’t show.

Why are you adding a video size for this, specifically one that is not meant for Google?

Please provide me with a URL where you are facing this issue.

First option – Community Drivearound has 2 videos in the album. If I add a photo to the album, all of them shows up.

I have removed the video_size paramter.

I created an album just with videos at my end and am able to display it without any issues using a similar shortcode. This leads me to think that the problem in your case is how the album itself is set up. Your shortcode is just not returning any data (i.e., instead of showing an album with no content, it is showing no album). Is this a shared album?

Also, may I ask why you are showing just one thumbnail at a time, instead of displaying the whole gallery for the album? While going through your site, it wasn’t clear that I needed to click on a thumbnail to see additional photos.

In that case, should I conclude that it looks like a google album issue? This album was created before Google did a big change in their album. I have added a photo now and the videos show up.

There are a lot of properties (each with its own album) in a communutiy (a page). Takes too much space on the page to display so many thumbnails (potentially into 50+ to 100+) per property during construction. I will have to think more how company wants me to show that they have to click on the album cover to see additional photos.

Probably. You can try creating a new album and add the videos to it. See if it makes a difference.

I created a new album. Uploaded video files into this album i.e. didn’t reuse any videos that were already in google. New Album key AEUkLQhZR6bs_eN7W3MYlXN-70ftAcz4VB0x98fVTDfD40gUI9gEk0yuFGa52WwTmo82h48QTBzl

Still videos didn’t show up.

I cannot do anything with an album key … only an authorized user can pull the information associated with an album key. You will have to add the shortcode to a site and give me the link there. For the specific shortcode that has the videos, can you also add a parameter, load_mode='js' to the shortcode?

I have created a playground at https://vvmutsavam.org/photonictest/testing-photonic

It has 2 pulls from Google Photos. One of them is commented (this works). The other that doesn’t work is uncommented and you can see it in the resulting page.

I can give you the admin/password to https://vvmutsavam.org/photonictest/ through a private chat. Please let me know if you need them.

As requested in my previous post, can you please set the load_mode='js' tag on these shortcodes?

The first pull (which didn’t work) already had load_mode=’js’. I added the second link also.

Found something interesting in the view source code for that page. Your name was mentioned right below the non-working call. Can you look at that?

If you are referring to what you put in there, that combination does not work. Also, please don’t do that: it goes against certain forum guidelines here, and I have been advised by the moderators here not to do this.

At this moment I am unable to figure out why this is not working for you. Short of troubleshooting through the code line-by-line directly on your site, there is no way to track down the issue. The way the markup is being generated, it looks like the call to Google itself is returning nothing. On my site, a gallery just with videos works fine, which is what makes this more puzzling.

I would suggest using one of these workarounds, depending on the volume of each album:

• If the album has many videos, add one photo there – it will blend with the videos.
• If the album has very few videos, try displaying all thumbnails in one go, instead of showing a single thumbnail for the whole album.

Surprisingly, adding a photo to the album to make it appear on the page didn’t work every time!

So I followed your second option where I displayed all thumbnails in one go. Used

[galleryphotonic type=’google’ view=’photos’ album_id=’AEUkLQiyt1OrAHu5jkCugyNa2I9H9MzUFMYgdeW497dEcvBIdzq8LAPIL4gihf8HzJMaRQ08W5EL’ fx=’fade’ pause=’1′ strip-style=’thumbs’ controls=’show’ layout=’strip-below’]

it works great when only a few videos are present in the album.

In fact, I liked it so much that I would like to use for my albums that has both videos and photos. It shows the photo above and the thumbnails below in the slideshow. However, is it possible to fire a lightbox when a user clicks on a photo in the thumbnail or on the main window?

There are a few albums which has 200+ photos. It is easy for the user to click on the photo on the slideshow, fire up the lightbox and use the thumbnails in the lightbox to quickly navigate to a random photo/video.

PS: If you prefer I can give you the password for the admin in the playground website and you could possibly debug there.

Thx

No, lightboxes cannot be applied to slideshows. The larger image on the slideshow is intended to be analogous to the larger image in a lightbox display, hence the two cannot be mixed.

Great. Thx. I will put it in a larger tab.
