Photonic, Suffusion and Other Premium-for-Free Projects
Version 1.66 of Photonic is now out. This release has the following items: Video Support This is the big ticket item in this version. Like everything Photonic, video support is very comprehensive. I have added support for videos within Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug, Zenfolio and Instagram, as well as self-hosted MP4 files, and videos from YouTube […]
I recently received a question about GDPR compliance for Suffusion on the WordPress forum, posted on the support forum for Photonic – not the right place to post. But there is no support forum page for Suffusion on the WordPress support forums, plus I don’t monitor the forums here since I gave up working on […]
In the past few weeks there has been a fair bit of buzz around General Data Protection Regulation a.k.a. GDPR, an EU law on data protection and privacy. In my day job as a consultant I am quite familiar with GDPR, but what took me by surprise was a question on the support forum asking […]
After a hiatus of almost 14 months I have been able to release a new update for Photonic. While this version comes after a long time, I have been extremely active on the support forum, often responding to issues in minutes. It is just that this release featured one big ticket item, which took me […]
I have just released Photonic Version 1.64, with quite a few big features: Masonry Layout Masonry layouts had never been a part of Photonic because, to be honest, I never got results that I desired with the jQuery Masonry script. So after 6 years of the plugin’s existence when I decided to integrate Masonry, things […]
Photonic Version 1.63 has been released with two major updates requiring contrasting levels of development skill: TinyMCE Integration One of the most frequently raised support topics for Photonic was that upon inserting a gallery the user was presented with “No Items Found”. In each of those instances, upon performing troubleshooting what I found is that […]
I have stopped working on Suffusion (and supporting it in any form) after it was pulled from the WordPress repository. However, there were several requests for the code to be made available for download. I have finally put up a version at GitHub. There are two folders available there: code – Contains the raw code […]
Version 1.62 of Photonic is now out. The following are included in this release: Slideshow Layout Up until now the native WP galleries could be displayed in a slideshow mode, by setting style=’no-strip’, style=’strip-below’ or style=’strip-above’. Now you can do this for any type of gallery. Since the other galleries don’t have a style attribute, […]
I have had to release version 1.61 as a patch for older PHP versions. There was a line of code that was causing the Flickr interface to crash (and occasionally bring down websites) if the PHP version was old.
Version 1.60 of Photonic is now out. This version has the following updates: “Count” support in SmugMug Photonic interfaces for all providers have had a capability to restrict the number of photos pulled. Flickr has per_page, Google Photos / Picasa max_results, Zenfolio limit, 500px rpp (results per page), and Instagram count. The big exception to […]
