Ive been trying to embed Picasa 3.8 images and slideshows into the embed media field of "image" and "slide show" but getting messages on "You have specified an invalid media URL or embed code." or with linking "Fatal error: Class 'ARC2' not found in /sites/all/modules/opencalais/includes/CalaisRdfProcessor.inc on line 31"

Or Has anyone else gotten Picasa to work?

I'm using the picasa node

I'm using the picasa node album module.

I've edited the template file to use a javascript slideshow library. This way we're still using Google's bandwidth to serve the images.

Thanks for your reply. Do the various picasa modules need to be enabled even in OpenPublish for the picasa embed to work?

Oh, I see what you're

Oh, I see what you're asking.

No, they don't. IIRC, I initially got the same error message you did. All I can say is that you really are using the wrong URL. Open up the module and look for the code that parses the URL and see what it's expecting. I think it's just testing what you give against a regex, so it should be pretty easy to find.

That said, as of OP2.2, embedded images (whether from flickr, picasa, or anything else) were NOT compatible with OP slideshows. I don't know if they've fixed it for 2.3, as I haven't checked. I made a bug for it on the d.o, but I haven't checked the status of it in awhile. You should probably be able to find it.

Thanks again, OP say: Enter

Thanks again,

OP say: Enter the URL or Embed Code here. The embedded third party content will be parsed and displayed appropriately from this. The following services are provided: Custom URL, Flickr, ImageShack, Photobucket, Picasa.

All I'm doing is pasting the embed code generated from Picasa.
I'm walking down the the "Google OAuth specification" path. Do I have to understand all the Google OAuth stuff?
