Custom collection order in publish service

In my publish service i have a problem. There is some collections which named by date of some period, and they update periodically (create new/delete old ). I need to sort them by descending, but they always sorted by ascending (it does not depens of collection creation date)
As example:
There are 2 collections: "2014-01-01" , "2014-01-02" (exact order) when I create new collection (newer date) "2014-01-03" it always creates below by sort order, but if i create "2013-12-30" it will be created higher
How I can set my custom order ?

I assume you are referring to the sort order of the collection names in the
publish panel, not the images within the collections? If so I don't believe
we can control this and it always sorts alphabetically.

Best way to publish a collection to multiple publish services

Hi
I post a collection of images to Facebook, SmugMug and to a Hard Drive folder for syncing with my iPhone.
Currently I add all the photos I want to a regular collection. Once complete I select all and drag to each of the three Publish Services Collections and hit publish on all three. I've considered making the three Publish Services Collections Smart and telling them to include from the Collection that includes the name of my collection (really it would be helpful if there was a drop down list, but I digress).
Is there a better way of doing this? What is everybody else doing?
cheers, Lewis

I use export instead of publish.
Granted, I'm not using the web photo services that don't support change detection without the publishing (or are there export plugins that do support change detection and removal of obsolete photos - true sync stuff like publishing except via export?).
TreeSync - for hard drive export-based "publishing".
WebPhotos - for exporting photos for web consumption.
ExportManager - for one-click exporting of all changed photos to all endpoint destinations.
I have requested a feature, as have other publish plugin developers, for a hook so that publishing can be started programmatically (via plugins). If this feature is added to the Plugin SDK, then export-manager will be upgraded and renamed export+publish-manager...

Using a Publish Service for print service prep

I'm just starting to work out a new way to prepare images for sending to a (consumer grade!) print service using a Publish service, and realized I should harness the power of this corner of the Lightroom community to see if my ideas are sound. Feel free to add comments or suggestions.
Here's what I'm doing:
- For each size and processing option (e.g., 5x7, Matte) create a hard drive Publish Service.
Set options appropriately, such as:
- Filename for clarity. I use custom name + orig file number. (There appears to be a small display bug, in that the example displayed will show the " dng.jpg")
- Given what I've learned about Lr and JPEG compression, I reduce the quality to 80% or so for a nice quality/size balance. I don't want to have to muck with this too much.
- My service does not have an ICC profile for me to use, but assure me that AdobeRGB is accepted by their equipment. So that's what I'll use. (One day I'll try out a pro service that understands that a simple thing like an ICC profile makes us feel warm and fuzzy.)
- Resizing to fit. I set to never enlarge (though it should never happen that I have to enlarge) and set the dimensions to whatever I need for this service: 5x7, 4x6 &etc. Hints on optimal dimensions for getting nice borderless prints of a certain size accepted! I know that not all dimensions are created equal.
- I'll assume that the default resolution is fine, but I ought to do my research for when to modify this when I get into 8x10 or larger formats.
- Sharpening for print and paper type for this publish service.
- My service has no reasonable file size limitations, so I just let the exported files get created at any size.
- I minimize keywords. Makes much smaller files because who needs keywords in prints? I have Metadata Wrangler, so I might insert that and have it leave in the minimal set of MD, like ICC profile and copyright info.
So, given this, I can process my images as usual, make a number of crops (just to be a perfectionist) and then drag them to appropriate service where they end up in a hierarchy of folders ready for uploading.
What am I missing?
BTW, I'm not using the Print module because it was too tweaky trying to get it to make JPEGs that would print borderless. Feel free to set me straight on that if you like.

You only get one opportunity to set up the hard drive under publish and the folder cannot be changed unless you get a plug-in to provide a work around.
However you could just create a generic publish folder - something like Photo Lab, or Print Job.
But you could then right click on your publish folder and select “make target collection” - you will see the plus sign added.
Simply highlight the photos you want to print and press B (the same as adding to a quick collection) and your Publish Services folder on your hard drive will be populated with the exports.
The real problem is that you would need to edit the publish settings every time you required different dimensions etc (not sure possible). I use a similar system, which works well and I like how I can see what has already been published and what is still to be published but my prints are always the same size and resolution.

Using Lightroom publish service for either Flickr or SmugMug. I have many images with a keyword Maddy. This frequently doesn't show up in SmugMug or Flickr. All my other keywords seem to work fine. Anybody experience anything like this?

Lightroom 5 publish services - order of published images

I have created several collections in which I have manually sorted the photos in a certain order. I am going to use them in a book (will be sending them to SmartBooks) and I don't want to reorder them once they are published to my hard drive. I have tried to publish them to my hard drive using publish services, but I can not find a way to rename the files so that they come out in the order I have selected in the collection. They appear by capture date or current filename with a jpg extension. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Worth noting: the order of files outside Lightroom depends on how the device orders things (and no longer depends on Lightroom, once they've been pushed from the nest..).
That said, alphabetic ordering is the most common denominator - most devices are capable of displaying in alphabetic ordering.
Many devices will also display by date (usually capture date, but sometimes file-creation date..).
If you are publishing repeatedly the same photos, it get's very tricky indeed, since Lr will not re-order already exported files or take them into consideration. If you are re-exporting the whole lot, then it's much simpler.
Anyway, Lr5user-pt's method gives total control, but also has some drawbacks - you have to redo the copy names if/when you reorder photos (and then, re-export/publish all photos whose copy-names have changed).
TreeSyncPublisher will map in-Lr ordering to capture dates (in exported file metadata) or file-creation dates (by "touching" exported file dates on disk), so if devices support such ordering (by date), then published photos will remain ordered upon republishing, automatically. Granted, you have to be conscious of some stuff, and read the documentation, and learn to follow the rules..
(PS - a new version is coming out soon, which will have less "gotchas").
Exporder is like TreeSyncPublisher except it renames exported files to match in-Lr order - even trickier to use though, but works dandy if you're willing to learn where are the hoops to jump through..
The above mentioned plugins are free, and I wrote them - they only make sense if you will be re-ordering, or re-publishing changed photos.
If you are just exporting or publishing one-time/all-at-once, then the simplest method is just to prefix an ordering number to the export filenames:

Newscale Custom Code - AJAX Libraries - Web Service calls during ordering moment

Authentication issues calling webservice that requires credentials to be passed. NTLM authentication. Web service we are calling works from Service Link with HTTPIWA2 adapter.This is on Windows environment. When in the ordering moment, i am being presented with a popup box asking for credentials.
We are implementing a custom Newscale solution for Web Service calls during the ordering moment. I've installed and got the basic example working on our Windows based system. However, I'm trying to implement a more complex web service call that includes supplying credentials- domain userid password encrypted in the xdsproperties file. The web service we are calling has been successfully called by the service link HTTPIWA2 adapter, and independently using SOAP Sonar, so i don't feel the problem is with the web service.
We are on a windows based server and the web service we are calling is on windows as well. In the ordering moment the web service is being called, but I'm being presented with popups asking for credentials for the server that Request Center is on.
Has anyone successfully used this AJAX solution calling a web service using NTLM authentication? I'd like to compare configurations to see what is missing. You can email me directly at [email protected] Newscale PSG is on the case, but i was hoping to touch base with any other customers currently using this.
thanks!

A newer version of the Configuration Manager Client is installed. Cannot continue installing this version of the management point.
Action ended 20:50:23: SmsDetectColocationDowngrade. Return value 3.
Action ended 20:50:23: INSTALL. Return value 3.
The installer certainly thinks that you still have a previous ConfigMgr client installed. Perhaps you haven't completely removed it. Use ccmclean.exe from the SMS 2003 tool kit.
If that fails, why not just rebuild the server - you've said that this is a fresh install. I don't like too much messing at the beginning. This can be difficult enough - you need to start with a clean installation of the product.

Publishing service, missing published collection

I have the basics of a publishing service going, uploading images to an online gallery. Works fine apart from after I publish the 2 images in the 'New Photos to Publish' collection they're not being moved into a 'Published Photos' collection. One doesn't exist.
I'm relatively new to both lua and the LR SDK so it's extremely likely I'm missing the blindingly obvious but I can't find anything that sticks out in either the documentation or the Flickr example code. Is this something that Lightroom takes care of for me or is it something I have to handle myself. If the latter, are there any specific methods or is it just a case of making the collections and shifting stuff around. Any advice or thoughts appreciated.
Many thanks, in advance.
Henry.

Got it. missing exportRendition:recordPublishedPhotoId( publishedId ) call on successful publish.
All fine and dandy now.

Hard Drive Publishing Services and Smart Collections

Hi there,
Total newbie here, so apologies if these are obvious. I haven't had much luck with the various searches I've tried.
Is it possible to publish a smart collection? When I add a rule to my "published smart folder", I only get entries when I specify searches against plain old vanilla collections versus the smart variety. I certainly can use all the same rules from my collections smart folder, but maintaining those rules in one place would be much less error prone, I believe
Is it possible to specify that a smart collection be exported to a sub-folder of the Hard Drive Publish Service? Essentially what I have are smart collections, divided into months. I want each month to export into their own month folders. Each folder then appears as a different album for iPhone/iPad/AppleTV. The only solution I'm seeing right now is to create separate Hard Drive Publish Services, one for each month.
Thanks for any help on these!
-Kevin

1. No. A smart collection (or a smart published folder, which is essentially the same) cannot search in another smart collection. You can only use the new smart published folder and trash your old smart collection to keep things simpler. A smart published folder is essentially a smart collection that resides in the Publish Services panel.
2. Yes, each published folder or smart published folder, as well as a published folder sets, create their own folder on drive. Published folders sets create a level of hierarchy when exported.

Is there a way to publish a collection set including all subfolders as a smart publishing service 1)

is there a way to publish a collection set including all subfolders as a smart publishing service 1) to the hard drive and 2) to flickr while also automatically creating all subfolders? i manage to do this only with collections, but not with the partent collection set.

It's not AIR that's lacking the key in the plist, it must be Flash Pro, although it's just running adt itself. I use AIR 3.4 and I compile via adt command line (because Flash Builder 4.6 still has not been updated to handle warnings from ANEs during compile, grr). I have CFBundleDisplayName in my plist file. Have you tried compiling on the command line?
Here's an Adobe page with a bunch of examples compiling with ADT on the command line:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS901d38e593cd1bac1e63e3d128cdca935b-8000.html
Being unaware of what in-house distribution system that actually is, I have noted that some people had previous issues submitting apps Flash compiles. Their solution was to rename the AppName.ipa to AppName.zip, extract the Payload folder, copy the AppName.app inside there out, then rename that AppName.app to AppName.ipa. Then it was accepted. Not sure if that old issue still exists.

Publish Service and Collection Names

I am creating a publish service and need some information on the naming of publish collections.
I want to prevent the user from naming the collections anything but the name that is on the server. This needs to happen even on creation.
I know I can prevent the renaming by setting disableRenamePublishedCollection = false, but that does not help on the creation.
The best way to do this would to prevent the user from entering a name when they are creating a collection, I have yet to see a way to do this.
If not then need to set the name of the collection to the name that is on the server. I have tried this with no luck. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/662683?tstart=60
I cannot get the name of the collection to change right after it is created. It may change for a second then goes right back.
Anyone have any suggestions?
I thought of maybe making a thread that would wait a time then rename the collection, but I am lost on how to do that.

I don't know if this will help, but:
the catalog:withWriteAccessDo function creates an SQL transaction, and if any error occurs before that function returns the catalog changes are rolled back. Also, no changes take place until that function returns successfully. So try code like:
local sts = LrTasks.pcall( cat.withWriteAccessDo, cat, ..., function()
change name
end )
then check the status...
If the status is good, but the name isn't sticking, then I don't have a clue...

Publishing Services Panel

As a newbie to LR3, I noticed that under the "Publishing Service Panel", the default ones' listed are Flickr, Facebook, & Smug Bug.... I was wondering if I can add another service to this list, such as Photobucket. I've read the chapter in my LR3 Book that I purchased, but there doesn't seem to be an explanation on how to add additional online photo services. Is it even possible to add more, or is one stuck with the default ones' that came with the software?
Can anyone give me some advice on where to look for this so that I may add Photobucket? Or am I out of luck?
Thanks for your advice..,
Fernando

Generally speaking this is not a user modifiable portion of Lightroom and cannot be easily customized like a preset or Collection. You may find a third party option for publishing to Photobucket. Initially we started with Flickr only , then the others were added along the way. Im sure it is by no means the end of the additions and perhaps Photobucket will appear at some point.
Jeffrey Friedl is known to have produced some publishing plugins and a quick scan shows that he does have something for Photobucket. I dont think its a publishing plugin but simply an export to feature

Different product hierarchy in sales order and in service order

Dear experts,
In VA03, I notice that
- under Line Item > Sales B, there is a field Product Hierarchy
- under Line Item > Account assignment, there is a field Order. From here, it links to a service order. In the service order, I can see a field Product Hierarchy too.
I would like to know if there is an implication when the field Product Hierarchy in sales order and in service order are different. Is it possible that this will cause an inconsistency?
Usually these two fields have the same value, since the value in sales order is copied from service order. However, in my case, the product hierarchy is changed/updated in service order, but not in sales order.

Hi,
We have document pricing procedure maintained at two levels for Sales order or Billing type.
The pricing procedure is determined based on SAles Area Customer pricing procedureDocument Pricing procedure+pricing procedure.
Example :For Sales Document type the document pricing rpocedure will be A and for billing type 'B"
Sales Area1A+Pricing procedure A
Sales Area1B+Pricing procedure B
Now A will be maintained in VOV8 and B will be maintained in VOFA.So two pricing procedures.

Revenue Account Determination based on Sales Order Document Type & Service Order Type

Hi Expert,
I have Customer Service Module with Resource Related Billing for services attached with SD.
When DP90 runs sales document debit memo request is created & then debt memo is created.
I need to configure Revenue Account Determination based on Sales Order Type and also based on Service Order Type.
I did not see any field catalogue in revenue account determination for order type, For communication structure KOMKCV Header and KOMPCV Item level there is no field for sales order type nor service order type.
Is it possible to bring in both order types? Can ABAP person do it?
How to bring these fields?
Is it possible & recommendd to have service order type filed AURAT for service order into this sturcture?
Is this configuration is OK acceptable by SAP? If so is there any chnace for issues errors & wrong determination from FI CO view?
Your valued input is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Prakash Parikh

Hi Prakash,
Yes, you can certainly add new table fields into the field catalog KOMKCV and KOMPCV and use it during account determination. You will also have to add these new fields in the user exit RV60AFZZ for it to work. I believe you will need ABAPer's help to make this work. The abaper will have to crate a ZZFIELD (ZZAUART for example) and put it in the structure and use the same in the user exit to pass the values.
In your case, what I am not sure is, are you looking to modify the existing standard tables or creating new ones. My suggestion is to create the new condition tables with these new fields (like document type) after adding it to the field catalog. Only modify the access sequence (KOFI) in such a way that your new tables are access first before it goes into standard tables (or you can adjust it according to your scenario.
We have done it in our company and it is working fine. Basically what we have done is to create new tables instead of modifying the standard ones. We have adjusted the access sequence in such a way that some of our custom tables are accessed first before the standard SAP tables (C001 to C005).
I found a similar requirement on SCN. This might help.
Adding New Field in Account Determination
Hope this helps.

How to remove a photo from a LRPublishedCollection without affecting the Publish Service?

Hello guys!
I would like to know if there is a way to remove a photo from a LRPublishedCollection without affecting the Publish Service. Basically I would like it to be removed from the collection but I don't want to be added to "Deleted Photos to Remove".
Thanks a lot!
Jordy.

I don't know how to keep it from being put on the "Deleted Photos to Remove" list at least briefly, but if you do this, it'll amount to the same thing:
* save status for all photos in collection
* set status of all photos to "do not publish"
* remove photo from collection.
* publish the collection, and make sure you call the deleted callback, but don't do anything else.
* restore previous photo statuses.
Only works in Lr4+.
