Unlisted Picasa web albums in gallery - not working

[Simonidis.g]

Hi everybody, sorry for maybe ignoring the final answer to my question but actually I think I didn't find it...

The situation:
I've got a joomla website for a 9pin-club (is it called like this? Kegelclub). Every member has its own login to the page (about 12 members).
Every club-event has a photo gallery, administrated by Picasa and uploaded to the web albums. Not shared to anyone, only with the link. The pictures shouldn't be seen by anyone who knows the email-address.

So far, so good!

The project:
Now I'd like to "publish" the pictures on my joomla-site but only for the registered members.

So far, so good, still!

The problem:
But phoca gallery cannot load pictures when they are NOT LISTED! The category got a title, the Username of the picasa login is filled in, the Album Name is filled in and the Authentication Key is filled in, too.

I did everything as the doc said
https://www.phoca.cz/documents/2-phoca-g ... web-albums

But loading the information doesn't work. Always following message:

Connection to Picasa not created. There are connection problems or the Picasa User was not found. Check the User field. Check if the album is published. If it is not published but unlisted, check your authentication key.
Changes to Phoca Gallery Categories Saved

But Picasa user is correct, the album is not published but unlisted and I filled in the correct auth key!

The question:
What am I doing wrong?

The alternative but not satisfying solution:
If I publish the web album information can be loaded without any difficulties and they even can be seen on the website. Even via cooliris! (a little tricky with that crossdomain.xml)

We don't want the pics shared with everyone...
Please help a german newby...

Hi, you can make it publish, inport and make it unpublish (not listed) again.

But this seems like some problem with the authentification, really hard to say what exactly

Well,
publishing for the import works.
But cooliris wont show the pictures after unpublishing the webalbums...

What should be filled in for correct authentication?

Was the rss created when they were published?
