Installing photopic

1. Download and extract the zip file in a folder called photopic under the sites / all / modules folder of your Drupal 6.x installation.
    
2. Enable the module.
    
3. The module uses the Access Content permissions of the Node module.
    
4. Create a menu link to the module. Enter photopic as the path for the menu. The link should already be working by displaying my public albums by default. To change the settings continue reading.
    
5. Go to Administer / Site Configuration / photopic and enter your Picasa username. Your Picasa account must have at least one public album. Make sure you do not leave any blank spaces before and after your username.
    
6. You may also enable lightbox support. You must have lightbox2 module installed, for this to work.
    
7. Test your menu link to view your albums and photos.

Upgrading

1. Always make a backup of your Drupal database before doing any upgrades.
    
2. Disable the currently installed version of Photopic.
    
3. Download and extract the latest zip file to your photopic folder overwriting all existing Photopic files.
    
4. Enable the module.
    
5. Check that the module is still working as required.

Options

In the admin page you will also find an Options section with various settings that you may require for the display of the albums and photos.

Custom CSS

1. In the module folder you will find another folder called css. This is where the default.css file is stored.
    
2. Make a copy of this file and rename it to something else, such as mystyles.css.
    
3. Edit this file and add your styles.
    
4. Logged in as Administrator, go to Administer / Site Configuration / photopic. Expand the Advanced section and enter the exact name of your css file, such as mystyles.css (including the .css extension).
    
5. Test your new css stylesheet by viewing your photo albums.
