google photo albuminstead of picasa

[Jan]

Hi,

it does not matter if you use Picasa, Google+, or Google Photos as the images can be accessible through all these services.

And it does not matter if you use Phoca Gallery 4 (Joomla! 3.5) or Phoca Gallery 3 (Joomla! 2.5) the way to get the images didn't change for several years.

See screenshot:

The best method how to get user name and user album is to open it in Picasa and copy from URL (even it was created in Google+ or Google Photos) - it is stored as numbers so when adding, you don't worry about spaces, diacritics, etc. - it is unique number so there are no problems to access the albums (in case typo errors, etc.)

See screenshot 2

This is Joomla! 2.5, Phoca Gallery 3 and you can import images from Google+ or Google Photos.

Hello,

I am in same case : PG 3.2.8 + Joomla 2.5.18,
but impossible to load Pica albums created before May 2016 (without spaces)
and impossible as well to load album I create today with Picasa to check it (name is 'test')

Hi, use the numbers set in URL address - one for user, second for album - this is the best way to have the username and title correct.
(see above the screenshots)
