Topic: Problem with google photo [SOLVED]

Hi!
I used juicebox tu create slideshows with my pictures from Picasa.
As google stop Picasa we have to use Google photo
I read the topic :https://juicebox.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2101 
A made the update to juicebox 1.4.4.2 lite to test the issue.

But I have a problem:
• with my old albums, there are no problem and juicebox works normaly
• But juicebox do not show pictures with new albums created in Google photo.
   - the share option are enable
   - the acces to the album is open for everyone.

I only can see the new picture in a juicebox slideshow when i upload the on an existing album created with picasa.

do wou have an idea to solve the problems?

thanks

Re: Problem with google photo [SOLVED]

It looks like you might need to enter the Album Id (instead of the Album Name) and this is not available within the new Google Photos interface.

Visit this URL in your browser and you'll get an RSS feed of your albums.
https://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/<User Id>

If you then hover over (or click on) an album, you'll see a 19 digit number at the end of the URL. This is the Album Id which you can use in the WP-Juicebox interface.

I've tested this myself with an album I created today in Google Photos and it seems to work fine.
Here are the details if you'd like to try to display it yourself (just for testing purposes).
Google User Id: 109901943277912891450
Google Album Id: 6278925468933743905

I hope this helps.

Edit:
Also, visit https://picasaweb.google.com/<User Id>/<Album Id> (corresponding to the album that you are trying to display) and, in the right-hand sidebar next to the thumbnail representing the album, make sure that the visibility setting is 'Public on the web'. If the visibility is set to any other value (e.g. 'Limited' or 'Only you'), the click the 'edit' link and select 'Public on the web'.

Hello
Thank you for your fast answer.
I made a test, and it seems to be ok for the momment.
As we have to use a picasa url to find the album ID, I hope we'll still be able to use this method in the future when google stop to maintain Picasa.
Thanks for the perfect support of your products.
