Topic: Resize Picasa Gallery Images in Wordpress Plugin via Shortcode?

Hello there!

Is there any sort of shortcode to resize images within a Picasa gallery. I am using the wordpress plugin. Example is here: http://gateslosangeles.com/gates-and-fe … gates.html

I have a lot of these galleries and they were just recently messed up. I know that I need to resize these just for speed of delivery, but want quick fix till I can get to all of them.

Re: Resize Picasa Gallery Images in Wordpress Plugin via Shortcode?

There is no shortcode attribute that WP-Juicebox uses that would alter the size of images within a Picasa Web Album.
Juicebox already dynamically resizes images so that they fit within the gallery's image area. If speed of delivery is your main goal, then the only way to improve this would be to fetch smaller images from Picasa. Even if there was a shortcode attribute available, the most it could do is fetch the full-size image from Picasa and then resize it on the web server. This might result in smaller images being passes to the gallery but it might also result in a delay to the initial loading of the gallery as more processing would be involved.
If you are a Juicebox-Pro user, you might like to change the imagePreloading configuration option from its default value of PAGE to NEXT. This should speed up the initial loading of the gallery as only the next image in the gallery will be preloaded (rather than the all the images on the thumbnail page).
