Any news regarding new development? I think this module is great, but I really like to have my keywords transferred to gallery. This is working in Gallery Remote etc, but not with this module. Is it simple for me to change something myself to make keyword-tags be transferred?
The data is within the file uploaded, but gallery does not recognise the tags as keywords - as they do when uploading using gallery remote or the java applet.

Hi,
I loved this module!, it is a solution for our users. Now, I would like to get the text translated to Spanish, is any plans to support different languages?
I would like to help on testing and posting the Spanish one.

I'm using Picasa 3.5 and just trying this plugin.
I'm getting the 'Waiting for reply... ' message and then nothing happens.
Any idea what's wrong? The publish from Windows Photo Gallery works well.
Thanks

I usually see that when there's a login glitch. Try closing the window and hitting the button again. If that doesn't work, Clear your cache in Internet Explorer and try again.

I too have this problem, and I've cleared IE's cache and passwords, restarted Picasa, etc. I do get a login screen, and it creates the new album, but the image never gets uploaded. It gets to the "Waiting for results" thing and then it's done, with no image in the album. I would really really really love to use this module. I already use the Publish from XP module, but this would save me a couple steps.

I seem to have a different problem ... after reading through all of the posts in this forum and applying the changes noted when I try to download the button from Gallery I get this error --
I uninstalled and removed and reinstalled clean with no changes, but that still didn't help. Can someone give me an idea on where to look?
Thanks!!

Not sure if this is useful for anyone else but I downloaded this module and at first wasn't able to get it working until I read the instructions posted by camimenko. The button worked in Picasa3 and I was able to logon to the site and even create new albums via the button but when I started uploading it wouldn't work.
I upped my upload_max_size and post_max_size and it still wouldn't work. Then I noticed a post by junyor who couldn't upload more than 2 images at a time so I decided to try uploading one at a time and it worked. I then, went ahead and tried 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, all the way up to twenty and after twenty images selected for upload it wouldn't work.
Turns out, versions of PHP 5.2.12 and higher have a new directive called "max_file_uploads" which is "The maximum number of files allowed to be uploaded simultaneously." I couldn't find the directive in my sites php.ini file but I went ahead and manually edited it and changed to 100. It now works!
Thanks for this great add-on/plugin. My wife loves how easy it is to use.

I _almost_ love this module. There are some changes I'd like to see and may code them myself (like choosing which G2 field the Picasa caption goes into). If/when I do I'll be sure to post the results.
But I have a problem that I can't figure out: every single page I click thru in the minibrowser brings up a syntax error.
Gallery: 2.3.1
Picasa: 3.6.0
OS: Windows7 (same issue on XP-SP3)
Everything works fine if I click "Yes" to continue running scripts, but it shouldn't be necessary to do that extra click every time.
I managed to track the offending code to the bottom of lib/smarty/debug.tpl (the Smarty Debug Console). Apparently the minibrowser is choking on the <script> tags, probably because it's already considered a script and the tags are redundant in this case. I have checked all the "Disable script debugging" stuff in IE but it doesn't appear to have an effect on the minibrowser settings and I can't figure out where those settings would be (Is the minibrowser fully embedded in Picasa or is it using installed system resources?). I have also disabled debugging in my local G2 config.php but the code still gets loaded. If I comment out the <script> tags it causes the debug console window to pop up instead of the error, which is something I also don't want.
Any ideas are welcome.

Mine is incorrectly putting the captions in the summary field. Also, the tags/keywords aren't searchable. They show up in a field labeled keywords but they aren't clickable. I've tried scanning the code but I can't figure out how to fix these issues. Can someone help?

Afternoon all,
I wanted just to thank you Pete ! This module works fine with my Windows 7 HP PC, Picasa 3 (last version) and Gallery 2 (I will try Gallery 3.0°)
If I could find A module for uploading simply videos in Gallery, it will be fantastic !
Congratulations for your job.
I've developed a new plugin to use the Picasa Web Upload API (details at http://code.google.com/apis/picasa/docs/web_uploader.html). It allows you to place a button within the application itself which will upload your pictures to gallery, rather than having to go through the export/upload/import cycle each time.
Credit needs to go to Timothy Webb, author of the PublishXP plugin, as this new plugin borrows heavily from his implementation. Thanks also to the Google Picasa folks for the sample code and details.
Let me know how you get on...
Thanks
Pete

What would it take to get this to work for Gallery 3?
