Ozio doesn't see my albums on google Photos

[bbdoc]

Hi,

I've create all my albums on google photos, but Ozio Gallery doesn't see those albums in the Joomla interface.


The albums are on a goole page dedicated to my sport club, not directly on my own google+ account (don't know if this can be linked).


When going to google photos, I can get the User ID for this page where all my albums are located, but configuring this User ID in Joomla, it still doesn't give me the list of my albums for this User ID (118350247178942043771).


Could you please help ?


Thanks

Hello bbdoc,
please see the video tutorial:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZcnAIuqdGg

you need to public the albums

[bbdoc]

I've seen the tutorial but it doesn't help. I could not set the albums as public as they were not even presented to me by Ozio.

Anyway, I finally found the solution. When creating a google+ account on Google+ Business pages, you have an option to assign it a password. Google then automatically assigns a User ID to this Google+ business page, and I could get the album list by connecting to Ozio using this UserID/Password instead of my own.

Hello bbdoc,
thanks for the info, it is fantastic if we can continue to use the Google+ Business pages in Ozio Gallery.
But I can't find where assign a password to my Google+ Business pages ad find the UserID        ...please, can you post some screenshot?

[bbdoc]

Hello,

If you go on your Google+ account, clic your profile icon, go to parameters, you'll see in the middle of the parameters page "Third-party Tools" where you can define your password.

Tell me if you still don't find it and I'll post some screenshots.

Tell me if you still don't find it and I'll post some screenshots.

  some screenshots please 

[bbdoc]

Not sure how to send screenshots... I don't speak Italian, so I'm a bit lost with the forum options :-) Hope it's ok.

This is what I needed to change.

FANTATIC!!! 
Thanks for your help. Now I try to share this information in the Ozio Gallery documentation.

Remember, ....if you use Ozio Gallery, please post a rating and a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory (JED) http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension/photos-a-images/galleries/ozio-gallery#reviews   
Thanks for your help.

Best Regards

Yes, will do ;-)

btw, would be nice to add a feature allowing to define your google+ UserID/password in the Ozio menu item. At the moment, if I want to see a list of my albums on this account, I need to first disconnect from google and then go to the menu item and connect with this specific UserID so it loads the correct list of albums. If I don't do that, it will by default use my current connection to google, and show the albums on my personal account.

Thankssssssssss

Yes, I understand what you mean, but  I don't know how to fix it. I think it's Google cookies...

btw, 2 others questions I have :

1/ When adding a new album and trying to add it on my website, I seem to have some difficulties. If I reconnect, I do see the album in my album list, click "make public", but when I save the menu item, the album disappears from the list. I often have to do it 5-6 times before getting the new album added on my site. Am I missing Something ?

2/ How can I decide which picture to use as the cover picture for each album ? In Google photo you can chose the cover picture, but ozio doesn't seem to use this picture on my website. Would it be possible to take this cover picture from Google photo into account ?

Thanks

Hello    bbdoc,
1) yes, sometimes you have to wait a few minutes for the new album finally available in the Ozio params.

2) Album cover in the Skin Nano album list or in a Album list menu item ?
Google's first album image is used as the cover.
No, it is not yet possible to use the "cover" picture from the Google.

[bbdoc]

OK, thanks.

I'm speaking about the cover image that appears in the nano skin on the public website. I would like it to be the google cover image so I can change it. Unfortunately, using the first image of the album doesn't often show the best results. Do you think this might be implemented in a future release ?

Thanks

[alexred]

I hope the next Google Photo API can use it for the cover image.
