Embed Google Photos album

Beskriuwing

This plugin requires a shared Google Photos album link to view photos using gallery/player or carousel. This widget is free to use for WordPress users.

It is very easy to use. Just write a shortcode to your post and include a link of shared Google Photos album as a parameter. Instead of shortcode, html code with links to the photo will be inserted and it will be decorated using Public album javascript.

Example

[embed-google-photos-album link="https://photos.app.goo.gl/CSV7NDstShTUwUZq5"]

In some cases, it may be better to use the following code directly in the template.

<?php
    echo (new Pavex_embed_google_photos_album()) -> getcode(
        'https://photos.app.goo.gl/CSV7NDstShTUwUZq5', 0, 480, 1920, 1080
    );
?>

How do I update my album?

The album will update automatically as soon as you save or update your post.

Javascript decorator

External javascript decorator is stored on CDN and loading and running of them is optimized for performance.

Javascript widget can be used without photos from Google photos. Detailed information on how to use javascript is available in one of older posts about carusel slideshow on my blog.

About Public album photo sharing website

Public album is now a photo sharing website and service for sharing short photosets available in single user profile.

The service can also be used as an alternative to public Google Photos. It is very suitable for the blogs focused mainly on photos. For example, a photoblog or a online bookmark manager.

Followed instruction to the tee but there were no images created for me! Was hopeful, but expected it would not live up to my anticipation!

This is an awesome resource which makes adding Google image galleries a breeze.

It is basic but it works - and you don't have to set up complicated settings in Google. You must enter the shortcode in a custom HTML block, not a paragraph block. An elementary mistake that I made initially. I do hope that pavex will add more display options
