Hey @thinsafetypin could you try out the dev version of the plugin https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/facebook-albums.zip and see if this resolves the issue?

Basically if a picture smaller it only makes so many thumbnails, so I had to create a function to cycle through thumbnail sizes just in case the default is missing.

Thanks for the link! I feel the issue has to do with odd sized images that do not match the thumbnail size. Can you provide the link to your album URL so I can debug what URLs are being returned?

I have to build in a validator to ensure there is a thumbnail source URL, but need to see *how* to do so

Can you link me to the web page? I just did a test on my local server and got it to work, using three different Facebook pages albums (one per each)

Maybe try this download for the dev version https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/facebook-albums.zip

For the resolution, try the development version of the plugin https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/facebook-albums.zip

If you’d like, download the Development Version of the plugin and give it a whirl for me – https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/facebook-albums.zip – it fixes thumbnail resolutions by bumping to the next largest size for the thumbnail URL.

That way users don’t have to download the full image.

I’ve been busy with work, but I’ll set aside some weekend time to check this out. I’m also going to add caching of the Facebook API response for performance, especially in this kind of scenario.

Hey thanks, I’ve been busy with work projects and I’ll dedicate some time this weekend to fix this

Add limit=# to your shortcode.

The plugin doesn’t pick the resolution, it takes whatever Facebook gives it.

Hey @roger,

Can you link me to your site? Its a CSS issue, this will help me diagnose. Widget did not get a lot of love with previous updates and something might not have transitioned over well.

That’s a good question. I’ll check into it. The default used to be 720, but I guess was bumped to 960 in March.

“The source image of the photo – currently this can have a maximum width or height of 720px, increasing to 960px on 1st March 2012″https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/photo/

I think that only applies to pulling an individual photo though, not photos out of an album stream. I’ll see if there is a way to define the image source size. Facebook provides a source, link, and then different sizes of images info with the request.

Try giving the plugin a re-install, or manually edit main plugin file and delete ‘echo $api_call’ from code, apparently that slipped by me.

Are you using the plugin through a Facebook app? If so, then I’ll debug the HTTPS issue.

I’ve got this marked for version 2.1! It’s just difficult to find a good way to implement pagination.

I wanted to resolve a few API issues for the plugin before I tackled this.

If you have any ideas on how you’d like the pagination to work, let me know. Should it work like Facebook, where it loads and expands the page…or AJAX refreshes the whole set that is inview, or just acts as a new page.

This should be fixed, I had an issue with my CSS. Just pushed version 2.0

This is now an option in version 2.0. Apologies on the length of time to add, but I do work full time.

Version 2.0 is released. This should resolve most API issues, if they continue integrate a Facebook app. Video is linked on plugin page, and plugin settings page.
