Any progress on this? I am in the process of upgrading a 5x site and have come up against the same issue in 6x.3.6

I am running BG 6x.3.6 and it works with Picasa albums.

That is;

I do not have 2 local albums at the moment to try.

Hmmm - I am using the page content type. On my test page I have 3 Picasa albums. They all work correctly as long as they are in the first bg tag. The second and third tags do not parse (do not show up on screen either).

Strange thing is I can display multiple instances of an album as many times as I like on the same page. So

Ok - it seems that BG is only fetching (and caching) the first Picasa album on the page. By the time the page is rendered it is using the local version and the album (in cache) does not exist. My rather tedious workaround is:

1: Each time you add a new album copy the bg tag to the top of the page.
2: Save so the page is loaded and the cached album created.
3: Go back to edit and delete the extra line that you added.
4: When you save your latest album appears to have disappeared - you have to clear Drupal's cache to get it back (even if you have caching turned off).

So it is definitely a bug - hope this gives enough info it pinpoint it.

jup, can confirm that only the first gallery is fetched. as soon the cache folder is created, the gallery is rendered.

Any progress on this issue? Having only one album fetched per page is not good option.

Is this module still being maintained?
Any hope of this bug being fixed?
