<p>The plugin was originally created for <a href="https://davedrapercreations.co.uk/" title="Dave Draper" rel="nofollow ugc">Dave Draper’s</a> website where it is used on the music pages. For an example, please see the page for the <a href="http://davedrapercreations.co.uk/music/the-wild-bunch/" title="The Wild Bunch" rel="nofollow ugc">Wild Bunch album</a> featuring Dave on vocals and bass.</p>
<p>Audio Album uses the default audio capabilities of mediaelement.js included with core WordPress files and enables you to style a group of audio files (MP3 etc) as single block formatted as an album. The colours can be customized in the Audio Album section of the WordPress customizer.</p>
<p>You can display as many Audio Albums as you need on your site, with multiple albums on each page.</p>
<h4>Usage:</h4>
<p>There are two shortcodes that can be used <code>[audioalbum]</code> and <code>[audiotrack]</code></p>
<pre><code>[audioalbum]
</code></pre>
<p>This shortcode is required and can be used as a header before the <code>[audiotrack]</code> shortcodes.</p>
<ul>
<li>title</li>
<li>detail</li>
<li>
<p>date</p>
<p>[audiotrack]<br />
This acts as a wrapper to the WordPress [audio] shortcode so uses the same parameters as the [audio] shortcode, plus the following which are specific to this plugin:</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>title</p>
</li>
<li>width</li>
<li>height</li>
<li>songwriter</li>
<li>buttontext</li>
<li>buttonlink</li>
</ul>
<p>The following attributes can also be used in the <code>[audiotrack]</code> shortcode in the same way in which they are used in the default WordPress [audio] shortcode:</p>
<ul>
<li>src</li>
<li>mp3</li>
<li>ogg</li>
<li>wma</li>
<li>m4a</li>
<li>wav</li>
<li>loop</li>
<li>autoplay</li>
<li>preload</li>
</ul>
<h4>Example</h4>
<pre><code>[audioalbum title="The Album Title" detail="Some other Details" date="2022"]

[audiotrack title="Song One" songwriter="credit" mp3="http://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/audiofile1.mp3"]

[audiotrack title="Song Two" songwriter="credit" mp3="http://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/audiofile2.mp3"]
</code></pre>
<h4>Lyrics / other info in a popup window</h4>
<p>There are some additional parameters which can be added to the [audioalbum] shortcode to optionally add a button to allow a visitor to open a link on each audio track to open a page in your site within a popup window.</p>
<p>You need to first create the page, post, or custom post type post and make a note of the post/page id.</p>
<p>There are four parameter/value pairs which can be added to the [audiotrack] shortcode to make a popup link</p>
<ul>
<li>buttonlink</li>
<li>buttontext</li>
<li>width</li>
<li>height</li>
</ul>
<p>Enter the page/post id of the target page as the value for the buttonlink parameter. A button will only be shown when a value is set for the buttonlink parameter.</p>
<p>The buttontext attribute is optional, if no value is specified, the default label of ‘lyrics’ will be shown on the button.</p>
<p>The dimensions of the popup window can also be specified using optional width and height attributes. If no values are given, default values of 520px (width) and 400px (height) will be used.</p>
<p>If your site is using a Genesis child theme, as a little bonus, a landing-page template without a masthead, menus, sidebars or other distractions will be applied to the popup page.</p>
<h4>Example with default ‘lyrics’ button</h4>
<pre><code>[audiotrack title="Song One" songwriter="credit" mp3="http://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/audiofile1.mp3" buttonlink="808"]
</code></pre>
<h4>Example with custom button and custom popup window dimensions</h4>
<pre><code>[audiotrack title="Song Two" songwriter="credit" mp3="http://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/audiofile2.mp3" buttonlink="909" buttontext="linklabel" width="300" height="500"]
</code></pre>
<p>The parameters used with the standard native WordPress audio shortcode outlined in the codex: <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Audio_Shortcode" title="Audio Shortcode" rel="nofollow ugc">Audio Shortcode</a> page can also be used in the <code>[audiotrack]</code> shortcode.</p>

<p>A simple, no-frills solution to display a Google Photos album on your site using a widget or a shortcode. There is only one layout option: grid. There is only one required attribute: album url. That’s it, that easy. <a href="https://josheli.com/knob/2017/11/21/simple-google-photos-a-wordpress-plugin/" rel="nofollow ugc">See a demo and read more about the plugin</a>. The code is also <a href="https://github.com/datvance/simple-google-photos-grid" rel="nofollow ugc">available on Github</a>.</p>
<h3>Notes</h3>
<p>Your album on Google Photos must be “public”, which means you need to go into Google Photos on the web and set “Sharing options” to on, i.e. “Anyone with the link can see these photos and the people who’ve been invited or joined.”</p>
<p>Requires curl or similar to fetch the photo urls.</p>
<p>No support is provided. Probably no features will be added. You are free to ask, or to fork. Pull requests accepted.</p>
<h3>Widget</h3>
<p>Go to Appearance -> Widgets and a new widget named Simple Google Photos Grid should be available to use. Drag to your desired widget area and configure.</p>
<ul>
<li>Title: Heading of the widget on your site. Default to empty.</li>
<li>Album URL: The full URL to your public gallery on Google Photos. URL must use one of the following domains: ‘photos.app.goo.gl’ or ‘photos.google.com’. Ideally should be the short, “shared” link (such as https://photos.app.goo.gl/G8EOLs5YtESchh4g1z).</li>
<li>Num Photos to Show: Even numbers probably work best. There’s a maximum number, not sure what it is, but it’s pretty low.</li>
<li>Num Photos per Row: How many photos to show per row? Probably some number that works well with Num Photos.</li>
<li>Cache Interval (in minutes): How long to cache photo URLs before checking the album on Google again. 0 for no cache.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Shortcode</h3>
<p>Place the shortcode in a post, page or theme.<br />
    [simple_google_photos_grid album-url=”https://photos.app.goo.gl/G8EOLs5YtESchh4g1″]</p>
<p>Available attributes are:<br />
– album-url: (required) the url to a public Google Photos album, domain must be one of ‘photos.app.goo.gl’ or ‘photos.google.com’<br />
– number-photos: (optional) number of photos to display, defaults to 4<br />
– number-photos-per-row: (optional) number of photos per row, defaults to 2<br />
– cache-interval: (optional) length, in minutes, to cache the photo urls retrieved from Google, defaults to 15</p>
<pre><code>[simple_google_photos_grid album-url="https://photos.app.goo.gl/G8EOLs5YtESchh4g1" number-photos="6" number-photos-per-row="3" cache-interval="120"]
</code></pre>


Simple Google Photos Grid


I am not sure why this plugin has not gotten more attention. I have searched for a similar plug that would take third-party images (Google Photos) and create a gallery.  Few offer it and those that do, are quite proud of their plugin ($$$).   Yes, the gallery isn't great and I wish it would open the images in a lightbox, but I am extremely please with the plugin. My server is getting approching capacity and this plugin keeps a gazillion photos off of it. Thanks for the plugin. I sure wish you'd consider updating it!






Not perfect, but it does the job ... free also!

Provides a widget and shortcode to display photos from a public Google Photos album in a simple grid.
