Photonic, Suffusion and Other Premium-for-Free Projects
I have just released version 1.59 of Photonic. This is a very big release, with a lot of far-reaching changes: Rewritten Instagram Integration: Some time in June 2016 Instagram made several changes to its API. Every service provider makes changes to APIs (SmugMug has done it, Twitter has done it, and, notoriously, Google has done […]
At the cusp of the new year, I have released a new version of Photonic with some big, and difficult changes. Deep-Linking This has been a very, very difficult thing to implement. Every image in a Photonic gallery is now assigned a unique id, which, when appended to the URL, is called a deep-link. This […]
As outlined in my previous post, I updated Photonic to use the latest version of Smugmug’s API, v2. Apparently this causes your API keys to stop working unless you provide some authorization. Don’t worry – it is a lot easier than it sounds. This is what you do: Login to your Smugmug account. Go to […]
It has been such a long time since I released a Photonic update! In fact, this is my first WP contribution in a long time. As per my original plan I intended to replace JQuery Cycle in Photonic and Suffusion at the same time with JQuery Cycle 2, and I had started making the changes. […]
On 22nd June, Suffusion was removed from the WP themes directory all of a sudden. Someone decided that a theme whose last version was released and approved 5 months back and whose users had been generally happy did not meet requirements, and yanked the theme. My response to the comment was simple: However, given that […]
I have released version 1.56 of Photonic. This version has the following changes: You can now get a “slide-up” style title for all your thumbnails, in addition to the JQuery Tooltip and other options that you have. I removed some syntax that was causing the plugin to break installations with PHP versions 5.3 or below. […]
Version 1.55 of Photonic is now live. The following are the changes: Earlier, password-protected albums on Smugmug would display only for authenticated users. Now, if you simply pass the password attribute, your album will display. The Smugmug module now supports the site_password attribute as well. Translations are now officially supported via the WordPress site for […]
Version 4.4.9 is now live. This version has minor bug-fixes: I have cleaned up some CSS styles that did not conform to standards. This should have no impact on your websites. There was a bug in the responsive layouts, which prevented pages from displaying at full-width on iPhones 5 and upwards, if your site had […]
I have just released version 1.54 of Photonic. This is a minor version with the following changes: I changed the added gesture script for PrettyPhoto, Colorbox and Fancybox from TouchSwipe to TouchWipe. This started out as a leap of faith, given that TouchWipe doesn’t work on its homepage itself, but in the end it was […]
I just released version 1.53 of Photonic. This is a pretty small release with a couple of big new additions: You now have the option to use Photonic’s lightbox for non-Photonic images. Bye bye, standalone lightbox plugins! One oft-requested feature had been the support for displaying Picasa albums with an access key. This is now […]
