supportHi Jan, Thank you so much for developing this plugin. It is really nice with a lot of features. I’m using it to display photo albums using the grid mode on our Tennis Club homepage, but also to display the same photos in slideshows on our Digital Signage screens so that our members and visitors can enjoy our photos. I have been playing around with different settings and everything works well, however I am wondering about the “High-Resolution Photos” code to request higher-resolution photos from Google Photos. Can this also be available in “normal mode” (not only fullscreen mode) since fullscreen mode is not possible to activate in a Digital Signage system? See example of a slideshow that I have made with the following code [jzsa-album link="https://photos.app.goo.gl/Uy2LgLH4KArv533XA" show-title="true" width="1920" height="1080" image-width="2560" image-height="1700" autoplay="true"] The page I need help with: [ log in to see the link]
Hi @toonwolf , I’ve just published version 2.0.0 of the plugin. It turned out to be a major upgrade, and I had to introduce some breaking changes, so please take a look at my migration post here . You will find a new parameters called source-width, source-height, fullscreen-source-width, fullscreen-source-height. If you scroll down the Settings and Onbording page you will find this new section: High-Resolution Inline Photos . It should clearly demonstrate the difference. My apologies for the broken backward compatibility but I hope the new features were worth it! I will try to react promptly on your feedback. Kind regards Jan
Works great, thank you for doing this. It is much appreciated 😉
Hi Jason, thanks for doing a fab job on this plugin – it solved a long-standing need of mine! I have a kinda opposite problem related to this thread. I know you can specify higher-res source images for display in-line as well as in fullscreen mode, but there seems to be no way to restrict the fullscreen output to a smaller size instead! As an amateur photographer, I need to not display out my hi-res images in f/s mode when clicked on. Can you pls. consider enabling a fullscreen-image-display-width and height attribute. That should do the trick. As an extension, whenever I click on the Settings page to review the attributes, it takes forever to load (probably bcoz of all the sandboxing + display examples included). Perhaps you can publish a separate page of all the parameters to pick from?
Hi Naveen, Thank you for your kind words and for the feature request. I hope I understood it correctly. The plugin already had the fullscreen-source-width and fullscreen-source-height parameters, and I have now also added fullscreen-display-max-width and fullscreen-display-max-height. The first two control the source image size loaded for fullscreen mode, while the new two control the displayed image size in fullscreen mode. Please wait for the 2.0.9 release. There you will find a new sample called “Low-Resolution Fullscreen Photos with Limited Display Size”. Please open that sample in fullscreen mode and let me know whether it is close to what you had in mind. Regarding your second suggestion, I experimented with two approaches: moving the parameters to a separate page, and moving the samples to a separate page. In the end, I did not like either solution. I realize there are many samples now, but the page still loads quickly for me both in my development environment and on two live websites where I use the plugin myself. So, for now, I would prefer not to split the settings into separate pages unless more users request it. As a temporary workaround, you could open the Settings page in two browser tabs to switch more quickly between the samples and the parameter table. I look forward to your feedback on the new fullscreen parameters. Best regards, Jan
Thank you for the promptness and accommodating this request! It will be a huge help. Will surely use it and share feedback. I had also started a separate thread for this request, and in it had included an additional point on an issue with responsive design. Do have a look at that too. Sorry if this has caused any confusion. P.S. Can you share a brief idea on what you use to create this plugin? Are you using any vibe coding or AI tools or building it from scratch?

Good idea, let’s move to the other thread.
