FAQ Frequently asked Questions about Picasa templates

How do I install the templates?

Extract the contents of the zip file to the directory \Program Files\Picasa 2\web\templates\. It's important to place the contents of the zip file in it's own separate folder! Start Picasa and select the images you want to export and then click Folder > Export as Webpage.

I experience problems with Windows Vista. What should I do?

With older versions of all templates on this website there were some problems. Download the latest versions.

The images are exported, but I get no lay-out.

Probably the css folder and/or the css file is missing. This file controls the lay-out. Make sure you have extracted the zip file with all the folders and also that you have copied all folders and the content to your webpages.

I'm missing some features in a template.

All templates are released as open source software and free for non-commercial use. Feel free to make any adjustments yourself. You can also suggest any improvements and e-mail these to me.

Can I create multiple Picasa galleries with a separate homepage?

No, you cannot. You must generate the individual galleries one by one from Picasa and create a homepage for them by hand.

Using Flash Page Flip Photo Gallery but I don't see any images!

After Picasa has created all the files for this gallery you must move the file pages.xml manually to the folder /xml/. This is because of limitations of the Picasa template language. Copy it, or drag it to it's new folder.

My Flash Page Flip Photo Gallery works off-line but not on-line!
