\n","faq":"\n

I don’t want to use WP-Gallery-Remote anymore. What about all my blog posts which include WP-Gallery-Remote tags?

The WP-Gallery-Remote archive includes a file called wpgr2picasa.zip. The included script can be used to migrate any pictures linked in you wordpress installation using WP-Gallery-Remote to Picasa and update your blog posts with links to picasa accordingly. The script does the following steps:
\n* login to your wordpress blog
\n* fetch all posts
\n* parse each post for one or more wp-gallery-remote tags
\n* if found, the respective images are fetched from your Gallery installation…
\n* …and uploaded to your picasa webalbums account
\n* wp-gallery-remote tags without image filter are exchanged with an thumbnail and link of your picasa album
\n* wp-gallery-remote tags with image filter are exchanged with thumbnails and links to the selected pictures
\n* each changed post is saved

Usage:
\n* unzip wpgr2picasa.zip to any folder and open that folder
\n* open wpgr2picasa.php in a text editor and maintain links and user data for wordpress, picasa and gallery at the top of the file
\n* execute the script either in a browser or on the command line (php wpgr2picasa.php)

Please note, that I cannot provide support for this migration script. It worked fine for me; try it on your own risk.

What is the difference between WP-Gallery-Remote and WPG2? Do they compete?

Advantages of WP-Gallery-Remote:
\n* Very simple to setup (extract, activate, enter Gallery infos, ready)
\n* Integration of photos from a Gallery, which you do not own (but which is accesible via the Gallery Remote Protocol)
\n* Support for multiple Galleries
\n* Lightbox effect
\n* carousel view

Advantages of WPG2:
\n* possibility for “truly” integrated photoblog (sidebar integration and so on)
\n* user authentication

Help! WP-Gallery-Remote says, that it cannot connect to my Gallery. What is wrong?

Please make sure, that you
\n* are using PHP5 (PHP4 is not supported)
\n* have activated allow_url_fopen (On) in your php.ini (some hoster deactivate it by default!)
\n* are using WordPress 2.2.x
\n* are using Gallery2 from http://gallery.menalto.com
\n* have activated the Gallery Remote module in Gallery2
\n* have entered the complete path to you Gallery2 installation including main.php (e.g. http://www.example.com/gallery2/main.php)

Please let me know, if it still does not work and I can have a look.

The order of images do not change after changing the order of IDs in the image filter. What is wrong?

Nothing is wrong. The images are always displayed in the order, in which they are in Gallery. So, if you want to reorder them, you have to do that in your Gallery.

Does WP-Gallery-Remote support logging in to my Gallery? (user authentication)

Gallery provides a guest account, which is used for all users who do not explicitly login to Gallery (= public viewing). WP-Gallery-Remote currently does not support logging in as another user than guest.
\nLogging in to Gallery as another user does not even make really sense, as WP-Gallery-Remote fetches URLs to your Gallery’s images via the Gallery Remote Protocol and outputs these to your post or page. If the respective albums are only available to certain Gallery users, only those can access the URLs. And this is normally not the case for public blogs.

If you are searching for a solution, which synchronizes users between Gallery and WordPress, you might take a look into WPG2.

I have one Gallery, but want to choose for each WP-Gallery-Remote tag, whether to use plain or carousel as output type. Is that possible?

Yes, this is possible by setting up another Gallery in WP-Gallery-Remote’s options, which points to the same URL but uses another output type.

Go to Options -> WP-Gallery-Remote in WordPress’ admin area and click the New button in the Gallery section. Enter a name, e.g. My Gallery 2, and set the same URL as for your other Gallery. Additionally, set the output type to the output type you would like to have.
\nIf you now write a new post or page and open the WP-Gallery-Remote Album Chooser by clicking the respective WPGR button in WordPress’ editor, you can select that Gallery with the output type which you would like to use.

Since WP-Gallery-Remote 2.0 the ID of the selected Gallery is added to the {wp-gallery-remote…} tags in my posts. What happens to the tags in my previous posts which do not have this Gallery ID as a parameter?

Nothing. 🙂
\nIf you upgrade from 1.1 to a newer version, the plugin automatically sets your previously used Gallery installation as the default Gallery which will be used, if no Gallery ID parameter is given in the {wp-gallery-remote…} tags of your posts.

Is it possible to use the carousel output type in my RSS feeds?

No, this is unfortunately not possible, because including carousel’s javascripts is tricky and many RSS feed readers do not support that.

\n","faq":"\n

Nothing shows up when I try it or I get an error that file_get_contents doesn’t exist

This script relies on the function file_get_contents to fetch the RSS feed. If your host doesn’t allow the use of it, but allows the use of curl, you can replace

$stories = file_get_contents($uri);

with

$ch = curl_init();\n$timeout = 5; // set to zero for no timeout\ncurl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $uri);\ncurl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);\ncurl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);\n$stories = curl_exec($ch);\ncurl_close($ch);

What does cache time mean?

It’s the number of seconds before the content will be requested again. You can set this to be 0 or -1 to not use the caching system. If you edit any of the widgets in the widget admin panel, the cache is cleared.

Location

The location can either be a zip code for US users or the locid. To find the locid, you can do a search using http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=[search parameters].This will return an XML file with search results and their corresponding locid’s.

You can also find it using the Weather.com website. After searching for and selecting your city, you will be sent to a url that will look something like, http://www.weather.com/outlook/driving/interstate/local/USTX0617?from=search_city, where USTX0617 is the locid.

Image Hosting

I’ve provided the images used and provided by weather.com here. If you want to host your own images, extract and upload the files, then, in the admin panel, edit the ‘Image Location’ field to point to your directory of images. Make sure to have the trailing slash.

If you don’t use your own images, you are free to use the ones that I’ve hosted, which are located at http://nothingoutoftheordinary.com/weatherimages/

%attribution% – The link supposedly required to be displayed. Weather data provided by weather.com®
