HOW TO INSTALL JOOMLA! PICASA 

Since version 2.0.5 of the component, NO MORE MANUAL CONFIGURATION IS NEEDED. Simply follow the instructions below:

          [Only for version < 2.0.5]

  • Download the lightbox effects from here
  • Download the instant effects from here
  • Open the downloaded lightbox archive and copy the content of the folders css, images and js into the respective folders located into /templates/YOURTEMPLATE/ on your server (where YOURTEMPLATE is the template you want to use).
  • Open the downloaded instant archive and copy the file instant.js into the folder /templates/YOURTEMPLATE/js on your server (where YOURTEMPLATE is the template you want to use).
  • Edit your HTML template from your Joomla! administration panel, adding the following lines just before the </head> tag:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template?>/js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template?>/js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template?>/js/lightbox.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template?>/js/instant.js"></script>
<link type="text/css" href="/<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template?>/css/lightbox.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen"/>
[For all versions] 
  • Create a new entry in your Joomla! menu and make it pointing to the joomlapicasa2 component (use the joomlapicasa2 template, not the album one). Remember to change the component parameters (on your right) while adding the new menu entry.
That's all folks. Write me if you have problems with this component.
