Hi – to add your albums, please go to Shashin under the “Tools” menu, and follow the instructions there.

[removing accidental duplicate post]

Sorry, I overlooked that you said the widget – I thought you meant adding a Shashin shortcode to a post. In the widget field for “size” just put in the number you want. So if you put in 240, then images with a landscape orientation will be 240 pixels wide, and images with a portrait orientation will be 240 pixels tall (the “size” is applied to the largest dimension of each image). There is no way to crop though (without hacking code)

You’ve got some errors on your site, which I don’t think are not coming from Shashin. This is what I’m seeing in the Google Chrome inspector for your home page:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < www.fafafoom.com/:1 – this type of error can be a tricky error to track down – it often has to do with invalid JSON data. I’ve never seen an error like this with Shashin, so it is probably coming from somewhere else.

Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined trunk8.js?ver=3.4.10:270
Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined shashin.js?ver=3.4.10:3

Shashin enqueues its dependency on jQuery using the standard WordPress recommended procedures. It looks like you are running a minification plugin of some sort that is causing this to fail. This means none of the front-end javascript code for Shashin is working.

I recommend temporarily turning off your other plugins, and then see if Shashin is working. If not, also try temporarily switching to one of the standard WordPress themes. Then turn on your other plugins one by one, and check Shashin again each time, to see where the problem is coming from.

I just did some investigating, and I’m afraid I can’t do anything about this. The data from the Picasa API only gives me the Picasa URLs for the photos, so that’s where the links go. What happens after that is entirely in the hands of Google. Overall, as a developer, I have to say the integration they’ve done between Picasa and G+ is a mess.

I have not yet updated Shashin to use the new Media Manager API, which is probably the cause of the incompatibility with CKEditor (WordPress itself is very good about supporting deprecated functionality, so Shashin is fine if you’re not using that plugin). It’ll be at least several hours of work to update, and I’m not going to have time in the near future, but I’ve logged it as an issue: https://github.com/toppa/Shashin/issues/66

As for Fancybox and PrettyPhoto not working, there is probably a javascript conflict with your theme or another plugin. If you give me a link to your site I can take a look. If you don’t want to post it here, you can send it to me using my contact form – https://toppa.com/contact

Sorry, the documentation is out of date. I’ll updated it. I’ve customized prettyPhoto, and Shashin needs this customized version. I renamed it (it’s shashinPrettyPhoto in the code), with the goal of avoiding conflicts if you already have a standard version of prettyPhoto. But it sounds like there is a conflict. Can you give me a link to your site, so I can see the problem? If you don’t want to share the link here, you can send it to me through my contact form at https://toppa.com/contact

Sorry for the late reply. Your theme is adding a margin to the bottom of all images, which is pushing down the social share buttons. So for Shashin, you’ll want to override this. Open shashin/public/display/shashin.css and add this (it’ll also improve the display of the thumbnails)

#fullResImage, shashinThumbnailImage {
  margin: 0;
}

Then save it as described here: https://www.toppa.com/shashin-wordpress-plugin/#stylesheets

Sorry for the late reply. You can specify any size you like – for a non-standard size, you just need to type it directly in the shortcode. Shashin will scale the image accordingly. Specifically, Shashin finds the next largest standard size available for the image, and then scales it down to the size you’ve specified, so you’re never losing image quality.

Sorry, I don’t know.

Sorry for the late reply. Google+ keeps finding ways to make things harder for me ?? For now, just use the standard URL. Yours is https://plus.google.com/photos/100252986873678100159

Sorry for the late reply. I’m seeing a javascript error on the page related to Fancybox. I’m planning to remove Fancybox in an upcoming version of Shashin, so could you go to the Shashin settings page and change your viewer from Fancybox to PrettyPhoto, and let me know if that helps?

Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply.

The “Notice” messages are pointing out things that should be done differently, but still work. You should log notices in your production environment, but not display them to users. But I will make a point of addressing those notices in the next version – I’ve logged an issue for it:

https://github.com/toppa/Shashin/issues/65

For the “add all albums” error, you have too much photo data for Shashin to process all at once, within the memory limits allocated to PHP on your server. For now you would need to add the albums one at a time. I’d like to use AJAX so that it can add the albums in batches, but i have not coded this yet:

Can you give me a link to a page where I can see the problem?
