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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]
