Published service missing after restore

After having to restore all software & data after a hard drive failure on my iMac, Lightroom 5 appears ok but has lost published services that I had set up. These were smart such as pictures added in the last two months. Thinking I would have to set them up again I was surprised to find that when trying to add "Last2Months" it was rejected as it already existed. I can't see this in lightroom. Does anyone know where lightroom stores published services properties?

Hi
There is nothing trouble for webservices when the server is restarted.
can you please explain in detail
Kind Regards

How to distinguish between two publish services

Hi,
I have two instances on a published service plugin, but how can I distinguish between them. Currently, I'm accessing the publish service via
activeCatalog:getPublishServices( _PLUGIN.id ) which returns just an array. So far so good. But when I change some settings in the Publishing Manager for "instance-A" everything in "instance-B" is changed to the same values as well.
What I'm doing wrong? Please help!
Thanks,
Lars

It is definitely possible to maintain separate sets of settings for two or more
publish connections of the same publish plug-in.
Without more detail on what exactly your code looks like, it is difficult to say what's not working right.
The contents of 'exportPresetFields' should be maintained on a per-connection basis.

Lightroom 4.1: Publishing Service Flickr plugin; Using HTML in Caption field

All,
After hours of troubleshooting I have narrowed down a problem with an error message I’m getting when I try to export from Lightroom 4.1 using the Flickr Publishing service. The error msg is:
Can't update this collection
Could not contact the Flickr web service. Please check your Internet connection
I have narrowed down the problem to my attempt to add basic HTML tags to the Caption (Description) Field of the Meta Data. This has worked perfectly well in all versions of Lightroom 3.6 and below (I didn’t try this type of export using Lightroom 4.0). I have also noticed that a simple page break, such as below, will also throw the same error:
“Lorem ipsum @evansante.com dolor sit amet, consectetuer
adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat veniam, quis nostrud exerci t”
Flickr will recognize URL in simple text and format them properly so:
“Lorem ipsum http://www.myurl.com dolor sit amet, consectetuer “
Will work.
Does anyone know of a work around that will allow including page breaks or HTML??? Thanks in advance - CES

This bug, in a related way, has been noted by several users some time ago …
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/999503?tstart=30
and was reported as a bug a month ago during the release candidate period …
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lightroom_4_1_rc2_a_cr_or_lf_n_the_m iddle_of_a_caption_causes_failure_to_connect_to_flickr
Although the above mentioned bug is raised specifically in relation to “Breaks” in the caption text I believe it may be symptomatic of either generically poor XML information encoding by LR when talking to Flickr or poor / incorrect use of Flickr Api’s which cannot cope with trivial complexity in the caption field.
– in either case it needs fixing with some priority in my opinion, but possibly the philosophy of the on-going Flickr plugin support needs fixing too.
The LR Flickr publishing service has not been maintained very well in my opinion even when fixes may sometimes be trivial.     Perhaps Adobe would do well to employ or contract with JF for such plugins in future.    I use the excellent SmugMug plugin as the yardstick by which I measure the Flickr plugin.
A fix should also be treated as priority because the LR error message takes aim at the reliability of your internet connection which may cause some to erroneously try to chase down non-existent problems with a perfectly good infra-structure or OS / Firewall configuration – that is seriously bad advice for a caption related LR bug and has scope to seriously compound the problem for the user!
Adobe, you have a responsibility to fix this before people mess with their reliable setups.
Sorry, I am not aware of any work rounds to your problem with this and suspect it may be a windows only problem (please confirm if not).
Although not entirely exactly as per your problem (I believe it is generically the same) you may wish to add your vote to the above mentioned problem report or raise a new one.

Publishing Services lost. Help

I have Llightroom 5.7 on my computer and frequently download pictures to Smugmug, Flikr and Facebook throuogh the publishing services section in the Library Module. After downloading some photos today, I clicked on the Publishing Services section and it dissapeared. I now have only Navigator, Catalog, Folders and Collections in the Library Module. I tried restarting Lightroom and even rebooting the computer, Publishing Services is gone. Anyone have any ideas

Right-click on one of the other sections and put a checkmark back next to Publishing Services.

Publish Services Problem

I tried to install the new 500px plugin and now none of my Publish Services will work. I get an error message "An internal error has occurred: ?:0 attempt to index field 'exportSettings' (a nil value)" when I try to access the publish services. In Library Module, Publish Services asks to set up each services that used to work but the Plug In Manager says it is enabled and running. I have tried to disable all publish services and bring them back one by one but that did not work. Same error message and I have lost the Facebook Publish Service altogether. What can I do further? Lightroom 5.7, Windows 7

That's what happened to me. Did you get any answer from the Adobe "support"?

Flickr publishing service and privacy settings

Hi,
I recently purchased Lightroom 3, and am loving it. I've played around with the Flickr publishing service, and it seems that at the moment there is a limitation in that it is not possible to specify permissions for individual photos, but rather, an overall choice for the publishing service. I usually upload an album with restrictive permissions then make some of the photos public, so I was wondering whether if I upload an album via Lightroom 3 with permissions set to 'Private', and I change the permissions on the flickr website to 'Public', then if in future I re-upload the image after modifying it, will the permissions be reset to 'Private', or will Lightroom respect any privacy settings set directly on Flickr?
Thanks for any advice,
Thomas

I don't know the answer to your specific scenario - my simple advice is "try it".
But I do have an alternate idea if you try it and find that it doesn't work as you expect.
I have 2 publish services both based on the Flickr plugin. (You can add additional ones by right-clicking on the existing Flickr publish service, and choosing [Add Another Publish Service via "Flickr"]
One's set up to upload as public, the other is set to upload as private. Under these 2 publish services I have my various photosets (public & private).
You can also use this method to support multiple Flickr accounts (family vs. business, etc)

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

Can't set up Lightroom Publish Services, internal error occurs

I'm trying to use LR 3's publish service for SmugMug. I'm a little scared since
I have a large number of photos to sync up.
When I click on "setup" on the SmugMug export services, I get a popup
error with this message:
"An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt to index field 'exportSettings' (a
nil value)"
Any idea how to fix this?
The same message appears for any of the publish services (Flickr, Facebook).
If I go the Publish manager, I can authorize the SmugMug account. It then says it syncs the hierarchy, but afterwards nothing seems to have happened and the account is not longer authorized.
Thanks.

Thanks Mark, but that's not it.
I'm not using Jeff's plugin, but the new built-in one for LR 3.2 and LR3.3. I did try to install Jeff's plugin just before LR3.2 came out. I uninstalled Jeff's version (or at least tried to - it doesn't appear anymore) before I ever used it.
I'm not even to the point of exporting to SmugMug, I just click 'setup' and get the error.

Lightroom 3 publish service: Sending 3 files from one photo

Hi,
I have created a lightroom 3 publish service that will export each photo as a huge TIFF file over a slow broadband connection to an external server. The external server creates 3 compressed JPEG files from the TIFF file.
I think this is too slow and that it would be much better if the lightroom publish service created those three files and then sent them over the internet. Please note I am using Mac OS X 10.8.5 and Lightroom 3.
My question is, what would be the best way to accomplish this task? Can lightroom compress the photo 3 times, or is it best to create another script on the local machine to accept each file, compress them, and then send them via the internet? What is the most secure and easy way to do this?

Well, I don't see any reason to use an external script, since your Lightroom plugin can do this without it. Since you are controlling the code of the publish service, I recommend just doing this 3 times:
local session = LrExportSession {
photosToExport = { ... },
exportSettings = { ... }.
session:doExportOnCurrentTask() -- or new task.
-- upload via FTP...
PS - SDK forum would be better place to ask this question.
Cheers,
Rob

How to migrate publish service from Lightroom 4 to Lightroom 5?

I have been upgrading from LR4 to LR5. Then I imported the LR4 catalog. But no Publish service was following to LR5.
I have used the FLICKR plugin a lot - made more than 80 FLICKR-sets. Therefore I would be terribly sorry if I do not succeed in restoring the contact to the old service files. Does anybody know how to migrate publish services from Lightroom 4 to Lightroom 5? Very fine if it's going to be a kind of a workaround.
Best regards
Jimmy

You'll need to backtrack a little, open your LR4 catalogue in LR5 and allow it to upgrade the catalogue with publish services.
If you've done work on images in the "wrong move" catalogue, identify those images, select them, and do a File > Export as Catalog. in the "right move" catalogue, bring this work in by File > Import from Another Catalog.
Alternatively, it may be worth looking at Jeffrey Friedl's Flickr plugin as he may have looked at this problem. Maybe someone here will know if it would help.

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...

Changing Export Location when using Publish Services to Hard Drive?

Hi,
I am aware that typically when using publish services it is not possible to change the export location once it has been set. This has put me in a very precarious situation; let me explain.
I work for a distribution company that sells 15+ product lines. For almost every product, they have a photograph. I was asked to set up a system whereby a number of sales representatives could access these photographs in an organized fashion from their own computers. This is how I have set things up: A media computer (backed up onto an external hard drive) has all the raw files. In lightroom I have set up two publish services to hard drive. The export location for these two publish services was an external drive that was accessible throughout the company network. Unfortunately, while I was gone, the external drive was changed over to a cloud-based system. As such, the export location for my publish services no longer exists.
Of course, I could go and re-create the publish services, but unfortunately that would be an incredibly laborious process because each publish service has 10 or so sets with 2-4 levels of folders amounting to several hundred folders that would need to be re-created. Moreover, because of the complexity of the system, I made them all smart-folders with specified attributes, etc. So re-creating all these folders would take a whole lot of time and could literally drive a guy crazy (I would know, I set the thing up and it did almost drive me crazy!)
So, I was wondering if there is any lightroom wiz out there who knows a work-around for my issue.
Now, I did do some digging already and I came across this article: http://blog.27shutterclicks.com/2012/03/how-to-change-the-publish-service-export-location- in-lightroom-3-4/ which outlines a method for changing the export location! However, as far as I can tell, I would still have to change the export location of each folder manually, which would basically be just as complex and confusing as recreating the publish service anyways. Am I correct in this thinking, or using this method is there a "root" folder than I can change, which will change every other folder?
Hopefully I have outlined this clearly enough. I will really appreciate any response! Thanks and have a good day.

Yes, it is not possible to change the export location for a Publish service.
But it is possible to set up another Publish Service with a different location.
Under <Publish Services> right-click the header bar where it says "Hard Drive: .... " and select <Create Another Publish Service via Hard Drive>.
See screen shot:
In the editor that comes up select the "cloud" as location.

Unable to upload photos to flickr using Lightroom 4.4 publish service feature

I post process my images through LR and for several years published images to Flickr via Publish Services feature in LR. The current version is LR4.4. In the past two weeks I have been unable to publish new images on Flickr or update previously published images. Instead, I received the following explanation:
Can’t update this collection [ie., the Flickr collection in Publish Services]:
An internal error has occurred: Error Domain=NSXMLParserErrorDomain Code=4 "Line 1: Document is empty
" UserInfo=0x600010866bc0 {NSLocalizedDescription=Line 1: Document is empty
A blog search shows that this problem has been reported for several years, but I have found no instruction from Adobe or Yahoo that provides a fix. Thanks. David Hawkins. [email protected]

I have a friend who also can't get Lighroom's Publish Service to work with flickr. I don't use flickr but would suggest you try Jeffrey Friedl's Export to Flickr Lightroom plugin. I have used his plugins successfully to publish to other photo sites.
