Picasa Web Albums Simple Gallery

That's funny, but there's still no official Picasa Web Albums gadget. So I made this simple gallery gadget for Google Sites which is using Picasa Web service as image storage. You have to define dimensions of the gadget, cells where images will be displayed, height of the description block, cell spacing and the images will be scaled and positioned automatically.

Description

Settings:

  • email - Picasaweb account
  • album - The name of the public album. Only latin characters must be used in the albums name.
  • rowsQnt - Quantity of rows to display images.
  • columnsQnt - Quantity of coluns to display images.
  • cellSpacing - Spacing between cells where images are displayed.
  • backgroundColor - Gadgets background color. Use value 'transparent' for transparency.
  • photoScale - Scale of the image in the image relative to the cell size.
  • photoDescShow - Show or hide images description.
  • photoDescHeight - Height of the images descriptions block.
  • photoBackgroundColor - Color of the cell where image is displayed. Use value 'transparent' for transparency.
  • pagerTopShow - Show or hide pager at the top of the gadget.
