Hi Silpa

Unfortunately there is no out of the box integration for Picasa or Flickr within Kentico CMS. Anyway, there is already a requirement to implement native support for these applications in one of the next versions. By now you may need to implement it by yourself. Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards
Ondrej Vasil

Did this ever get added as part of the default package? It seems there is still nothing in the marketplace.

Any creative programmers out there wish to share a PicasaWeb image gallery integration?

Hello,

You can use the fact, that "PicasaWeb" image gallery generates also a "RSS feed" to your albums, so you can just style the output of the feed in your page. There is a web part named "RSS Reader" on the "Market place", which you can download and use, but this web part was developed for version 4.0 and I assume, that you are using version 6.0, so you will need to make some changes. Please follow the steps below:

1) Download the "RSS Reader" web part from this url "http://devnet.kentico.com/Marketplace/Syndication/RSS-Reader.aspx"

2) Exctract downloaded zip package

3) Go to the "Site Manager -> Sites (tab) -> Import site or objects" and upload there that exctracted zip file (rssreader_export.zip)

4) Select "rssreader_export.zip" and click "Next"

5) Set "Import files (recommended) property" to "true" and finish the import process

6) Make following changes in the "CMSWebParts\Viewers\RSSReader.ascx.cs" file:
add without quotes "using CMS.Compatibility;" to line 24 and change line 223 from "CMSContext.BaseCacheKey" to "CacheHelper.BaseCacheKey"

7) Place this new web part on the page and fill its "Feed URLs" property with the URL to your "PicasaWeb" feed.

Best regards,
Jan Hermann
