Description

The PicLens Plugin for WordPress makes it easy for you to provide your visitors with an immersive slideshow experience for rich media on your blog.

Visitors simply click a “start slideshow” link you place in your blog entry, and a slick slideshow interface will instantly appear with your images. From there, visitors can play or pause your slideshow, or better yet delve into a full-screen experience that goes beyond the confines of the browser window.

Optionally, you can also enable our sidebar widget to display a mini slideshow of images from throughout your blog.

Installation

1. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
2. Set your options in the ‘Settings’ -> ‘PicLens’ menu in WordPress.
3. Setup the PicLens Slideshow Widget in ‘Presentation’ -> ‘Widgets’ menu in WordPress.

Faq

What is the difference between the plugin and the widget?

The PicLens plugin lets you create immersive slideshows to appear within any blog entry, using images from any server. The PicLens widget, on the other hand, creates a mini display in your sidebar, and loops images from your entire blog.

What do my site visitors need to do to enjoy my immersive slideshows?

It’s as easy as clicking a “start slideshow” button you place into your blog. To enjoy the full features of your presentation, your visitors must have Adobe Flash Player v.9.0.28 or higher, or our free PicLens browser add-on.

Can I use the PicLens plugin and widget on a blog hosted at WordPress.com, i.e. myblog.wordpress.com?

Not yet, since blogs hosted on WordPress.com do not support plugins. Our plugin and widget work only on WordPress blogs hosted on your own domain and server at this time.

Can I add audio or video?

Currently, audio and video works only on PicLens Lite installed on websites. The audio on/off button on the PicLens Lite console is not yet functional with this plugin.

Why does WP PicLens require at least PHP verison 5?

PHP 5 supports libxml functions which the plugin uses to create the Media RSS feed. PHP 4 at the time of writing this plugin has reached its end of life and will no longer be supported by the PHP development team.

I got a Fatal PHP error when I activated the plugin, how do I fix it?

Make sure you are using php version 5, to remove the plugin, simply delete the wp-piclens folder.

As said in the description before, this plugin is a widget that can display up to 10 of your latest Flickr photos. The plugin is still in development, here are the features:

• Easy to setup and configure (feed with Flickr RSS or Screen name)
• Up to 20 Flickr photos in your sidebar or any other widgetized area
• Fully customizable widget (editable before.widget, after.widget, before.item, after.item, etc.)
• You can pick the photos display size: thumbnail, square, small or medium
• You can choose the _blank target to the flickr links
• Images are displayed with the Flickr photo description in ALT and TITLE attributes
• Ability to show titles next to your images
• Very easy to customize CSS
• Supports Thickbox!!
• Filter by tags now available!
• Ability to pick photos randomly
• Ability to use javascript instead of php (for those who had hosting issues, read the faq)

If you’d like to participate in the plugin development feel free to contact me, I’ll be glad to share some thoughts and guide you into the current development stage..

And YES, I do consider feature requests, and that is what makes this plugin work. The discussions are here: Quick Flickr Widget

Oh, and a big shout out to Donncha O Caoimh for his Flickr Widget. Thanks mate!

Installation

1. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
2. Check out your sidebar widgets configuration

Faq

PHP or JavaScript?

If you haven’t got any problems with PHP, then use PHP. JavaScript is for those who have hosting issues disallowing them the usage of the filegetcontents function.

I entered my username but the Flickr images aren’t showing up!

Okay. Let’s start off by saying that it’s not your Flickr username that I need (unless you’re using an RSS feed, in which case go ahead and bug me). And it’s not your Yahoo ID! It’s your Flickr screen name (in the Your Account section). Next. Make sure that safe_mode is turned off on your hosting account, cause as far as I know, that disables cross-domain usage, and the only way out is to use javascript or frames, which is rediculous. Now, if that didn’t help, then feel free to bug me on this page: Quick Flickr Widget Cheers!

Screenshots

This is the widget configuration options. As you can see it’s HTML is fully customizable!

This is the output from my Flickr RSS feed in middle size.

Here’s a screenshot of how it look swith the standard wordpress theme and small-sized flickr photos.

Oh. Did I mention that you can switch on the Thickbox effects?

Ever had a widget get stuck in a particular sidebar or widget area? Are your widgets missing when you switch themes?

This plugin will remove all widgets, setting everything back to the factory settings.

Settings

Go to ‘Appearance’ -> ‘Widgets’ Reset to reset your widgets.

It is important to note that this will completely remove all widgets.

Faq

Why was this plugin created?
When switching themes, widgets sometimes get “stuck” in the old theme’s sidebars/widget areas. This plugin allows you to quickly and easily reset your widgets.

Will my widget information be saved?
No. No. No.

I can’t stress enough that this completely resets everything. So, if you have some important information saved in something like a text widget, you better save it before resetting your widgets.

In short, don’t complain if you reset your widgets and lose information that you have been told to save.

Adds a tell a friend, Share/Bookmark/Email/Social Bookmarking button in a widget position. The service which is used is freetellafriend.com which supports e-mail address book, social bookmarks and favorites.

• Working demo
• WordPress Plugins

A bit about freetellafriend.com:

FreeTellaFriend is a free service to allow your visitors to share your website with their friends. The idea is simple; you place a ‘tell a friend’ button on your website, and when your visitor decides to tell their friend about your website, they click this button which then presents them with a straightforward form to e-mail their friends.

The great addition to FreeTellaFriend is your visitor can enter their e-mail username and password (we support major e-mail providers) and our system will automatically retrieve their contact list. Thereafter they can choose who to e-mail the website to. If one user decides to e-mail all their contacts, your website will be exposed to over 50 friends (on average).

The following is supported: Tell a Friend, Social Bookmarking and Add to Favorites.

Settings

1. Add the widget to your sidebar through the ‘Appearance’ -> ‘Wigdets’ Dashboard menu
2. Go to your widget and adjust the settings

2. If you are using widgets then just make sure the “Page” widget is set to order by “Page order”. That’s it.
