Image download doesn't work with Picasa

Hi,
I use Phoca Gallery only with Picasa images. When I click on 'Download Image' button under a thumbnail, internet browser says 'Cancelled' or 0 bytes file size is saved.

Download option in Preferences is chosen 'Show (direct download)'. I would rather use this method not through saving via right-click menu in a lightbox... Is this a bug? Any idea?
Tested on Opera 10, Firefox 3.6 and Chrome.
Joomla 1.5.20 and Phoca G. 2.7.3 without addons
TIA,
Peter

Sorry for inconvenience, there was a massive hacker attack for my server.
Now it should work fine.

Hi, try to search this forum, there should be a topic with similar problem (it is cca half year ago we have discussed such problem).

I have the same problem and couldn't find the topic you're talking about... Did anybody find a solution?
Please note that I also had the following problem:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10364
This may be a clue in finding why I'm also in trouble with image download.

And if you want to see by yourself what is happening on my Picasa Gallery when you try to download one of the pictures, check:

Hi, I see, seems like there is some problem on server, so the server cannot give an information about the downloading external image, maybe some permissions or ownership problems

The solution (for now

) is maybe not setting up the direct download

Setting "allow_url_fopen = On" in php.ini files makes it work...
In Phoca Gallery Info I previously had:
PHP Settings Parameter allow_url_fopen (Needs not to be enabled if cURL functions are enabled) -> Disabled
Function cURL (Needs not to be enabled if allow_url_fopen is enabled) -> Enabled
and now:
PHP Settings Parameter allow_url_fopen (Needs not to be enabled if cURL functions are enabled) -> Enabled
Function cURL (Needs not to be enabled if allow_url_fopen is enabled) -> Enabled
