How To: Integrate Google Picasa Onto Your Own Website Using PHP
I mentioned when I posted about finishing a website that I had made some custom scripts, and this was one of them.
This assumes you have all the Google PHP scripts ready on your site, comments have been made at appropriate areas. The HTML included is meant to be styled and is just the structure I used to make it. You can see the implementation right over yonder.
Features:
- Show all Picasa albums
- Page through photos
- View in Lightbox-style popups, thanks to Paul Armstrong’s AwesomeBox script and YUI.
It’s tested and working, make sure you configure it properly. As always, feel free to add on as you please.
This was a quick script so I’d add some more error checking if I were you. It doesn’t use classes or anything, it’s just down and dirty.
