LR 5.5 is missing the Facebook Publish Service

My Publish Service list includes SmugMug, Flickr etc. But doesn't show Facebook.
When I click the "Find more services online…", select Free, enter Facebook as search term - there are no Publish Services offered, just Photo Upload $7.50

Hi,
This is what your Default Publish Services panel should look like: Lightroom Help | Post photos online using publish services

  • Problems authorizing the Facebook Publish Service

    I'm using Windows 7/32 + LR 3.2 + FF as my default browser
    For the last several days I've been trying to get the Facebook Publish Service authorized against my facebook account without sucess.  Facebook would add the lightroom application to my list of approved applications, but LR would not recognize that the auhorization was sucessfull after I clicked the "Allow" button in Facebook.  I tried this with Firefox, Chrome, and IE and all three browsers failed.  Firefox threw an error about the (lightroom) protocol being unknown and then redirected to my Facebook Wall.  IE would simply say that it could not open the web page.  And Chrome did something similar but I cannot remember the details (I think it redirected too). In all cases LR would report that the Facebook Publish Service was not authorized.  I tried reinstalling LR several times and I tried adding the lightroom protocol to FF and associating it with LR but to no avail.  Finally I stumbled upon a process that worked for me.
    If this is the error you are seeing, then the procedure below should allow you to get properly authorized in LR:
    If you already tried and failed to authorize then go into you Facebook Application Settings (Account --> Application Settings) and remove/deauthorize the LR application (using whatever browser you like to do this).
    Make IE your default browser.  This is just temporary, unless you like it like that.  You have to use IE, FF won't work and since IE worked here I didn't try Chrome.  When LR opens the browser to authenticate you it needs to open IE, not FF
    Open LR and click the "Set Up..." link for Facebook Publish Service.  Then click the "Authorize on Facebook" button.  When IE opens log into FB if your not already, then click the Allow button to authorize LR.
    If your having the same problem I did then IE will immediately throw up an error saying that it couldn't open the requested page.  Look at the URL in the address bar.  It should begin with "lightroom://...".  Select and copy the entire URL to you clipboard.
    Go back to LR and click the "Done" button. This will return you to the Facebook Publish Service Setup Dialog and you should see that you are still not authorized. Dang!
    But you'll notice that the "not authorized" label is not a hyperlink.  Click it.  This will open a dialog prompting you for the authorization URL.  Paste the URL you copied from IE into this box and click OK.
    You should now be authorized.
    You can now restore you prefferred default browser.
    Hope this helps anyone else having the same problems I did getting Facebook authorized within Lightroom.

    On Windows, the process for authenticating with Facebook depends on some registry keys. If these keys failed to be written during installation, for whatever reason, authentication is not going to work as intended. (There is a fallback solution, which is referred to in the initial post in this thread.)
    To check if the required registry keys are present on your machine, you can open up a command prompt and execute the command:
    regedit /E lightroom.reg "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lightroom"
    If the keys are indeed present, this should result in a file named lightroom.reg with contents that look something like this:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lightroom]
    "URL Protocol"="\"\""
    @="\"URL:Lightroom Protocol\""
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lightroom\DefaultIcon]
    @="\"lightroom.exe,1\""
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lightroom\shell]
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lightroom\shell\open]
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\lightroom\shell\open\command]
    @="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.2\\Lightroom.exe\" \"%1\""
    These registry keys are supposed to be written at install time when lightroom.exe is invoked with a '-register' option. (The user is comletely unaware of this, of course.) This is something that can be attempted after installation as well, and to increase the chances of success, 'lightroom.exe -register' should be invoked after making sure that lightroom will be run with administrator privileges. (On Windows Vista, this can be done by right-clicking the shortcut to lightroom.exe and checking the 'Run this program as an administrator' option in the 'Compatibility' tab.)
    If running 'lightroom.exe -register' fails to inject the expected keys into the registry, regedit can be used to insert the keys manually. However, I would not recommend modifying your registry manually unless you have experience with that kind of thing already. A lot of damage can be done to your system if you do something wrong.

  • Can the Flickr Publish Service upload to existing Sets?

    When publishing photos to Flickr, can I specify the photo to be put in a specific set within Flickr, i.e., photo publishes to my photostream and I want to place the photo into my "Ravelry set?"
    How can I accomplish this or do I have to manually go into Flickr and add the photo to a specific set?
    Thank you
    Message title was edited by: Brett N

    Not to confuse things by contradicting Brett, but I just tried this, and it works fine for me.  Payne1904, try this:
    1.  Set up your Flickr publish service in Lightroom.
    2.  In the header of the Publish Services panel in Lightroom, click the "+" button and in the Flickr section, choose "Create Photoset".
    3.  Name the Photoset the exact name of the existing Photoset that you want the photos to go into.
    4.  Add photos to the Photoset in Lightroom, and click "Publish".
    The photos will be added to the existing Photoset on Flickr.  Let me know if this doesn't work.

  • Problem with facebook publish

    I don't often publish to facebook, but in the past I have created several collections under the facebook publish service, each going to its own album of the same name.
    However today I decided to add 2 photos to an existing album, but when I click publish they appeared in a new album called "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Photos" instead of the existing album.
    Is this a change in the plugin or maybe something facebook has changed?
    Is there any way to get it to publish direct to albums again?

    I feel like I am talking to myself, but at least it is documented for others to find.
    I set about doing some investigating of my own and this is what I found was that the hilda url was mentioned in the Catalog.lrcat file, so using the sqlite3 command line tool I started to look at old copies I had in TimeMachine
    Back on 2011-11-27 Catalog.lrcal contained
    sqlite> select * from AgLibraryPublishedCollection where id_local in (495048, 603758);
               id_local = 495048
             creationId = com.adobe.ag.library.collection.published
              genealogy = /6495013/6495048
             imageCount =
    isDefaultCollection =
                   name = My Girls
                 parent = 495013
           publishedUrl = http://www.facebook.com/album.php?fbid=40409577156&id=522867156&aid=54424
    remoteCollectionId = 40409577156
             systemOnly = 0.0
    Then sometime before 2011-12-04 I added a 500px published collection with the same name and the catalog changed to
    sqlite> select * from AgLibraryPublishedCollection where id_local in (495048, 603758);
               id_local = 495048
             creationId = com.adobe.ag.library.collection.published
              genealogy = /6495013/6495048
             imageCount =
    isDefaultCollection =
                   name = My Girls
                 parent = 495013
           publishedUrl = http://gbarr/my_girls
    remoteCollectionId = 34451.0
             systemOnly = 0.0
               id_local = 603758
             creationId = com.adobe.ag.library.collection.published
              genealogy = /6603753/6603758
             imageCount =
    isDefaultCollection =
                   name = My Girls
                 parent = 603753
           publishedUrl = http://gbarr.500px.com/my_girls
    remoteCollectionId = 34451.0
             systemOnly = 0.0
    See how the publishedUrl and remoteCollectionId both got changed for thr facebook collection
    Later in December I did a software update of Lightroom to the latest but at the time of adding the 500px published collection I would have been running the latest release at that time.
    Then on 2012-01-24 I attempted to publish to the facebook collection and it instead created the "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Photos" album. Looking at the first archived copy of Catalog.lrcat after that we can see the publishedUrl got changed
    sqlite> select * from AgLibraryPublishedCollection where id_local in (495048, 603758);
               id_local = 495048
             creationId = com.adobe.ag.library.collection.published
              genealogy = /6495013/6495048
             imageCount =
    isDefaultCollection =
                   name = My Girls
                 parent = 495013
           publishedUrl = http://www.facebook.com/hilda.zacarias
    remoteCollectionId = 34451.0
             systemOnly = 0.0
               id_local = 603758
             creationId = com.adobe.ag.library.collection.published
              genealogy = /6603753/6603758
             imageCount =
    isDefaultCollection =
                   name = My Girls
                 parent = 603753
           publishedUrl = http://gbarr.500px.com/my_girls
    remoteCollectionId = 34451.0
             systemOnly = 0.0
    It is probbaly no coincidence that the facebook profile id of Hilda is 34451
    http://www.facebook.com/34451 redirects to http://www.facebook.com/hilda.zacarias
    So that probably explains where the URL came from
    But it seems there may be a bug creating collections of the same name on different publishers.
    I used the sqlite3 command line tool to fix the values of publishedUrl and remoteCollectionId back to what they were on 2011-11-27 and now it publishes to the correct facebook album.

  • 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"?

  • Facebook publishing uses Version name as description for Facebook uploads

    Facebook publishing on Aperture 3 uses my Version name as the description on Facebook. Is there a way to keep it from doing that or change what metadata it uses for the description? I would love to be able to write a caption in Aperture and have that show as the description. Otherwise, I would like the description to be left blank on Facebook rather than putting the Version name.

    I never found a fix for this. I also realized that if you ever delete the sync folder from Aperture, the pictures in Facebook will be deleted as well. So I've simply stopped using the Facebook publishing feature from Aperture. Now I'm back to the usual: export a folder of the images I want to upload, upload that folder to Facebook, and delete that folder after uploading it since I have the original file elsewhere.

  • Unable to set up Flickr Publish Services in LR4.1

    I have tried on numerous occasions and end with the same result.  After I finish setting up the parameters in the Flickr Publish Services form I receive the "Lightroom needs your permission to upload images to Flickr"   I click on the "Authorize" button and then I'm taken to my account within Flickr.  Once i click on the "OK, I'll authorize it" button, I'm taken to:  http://lightroom://com.adobe.lightroom.export.flickr/#?oauth_token=72157630835444112-9ff8c 3faeafcb667&oauth_verifier=84249d3a8099d4dd,  where I get another pop up window that says "This web page cannot be displayed"
    No matter what I do I cannot get the publish service to work.  I had no issues with Lightroom 3.6 using the same procedure.  What has changed, or what am I missing?  Please help.  Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    You will need to have different configuration in each service.bat file as the SVCNAME must be unique across multiple instances, for example:
    JBoss Server 1 service.bat config:
    set SVCNAME=CCP_RC
    set SVCDISP=CCP - RequestCenter
    set SVCDESC=JBoss instance for RequestCenter
    JBoss Server 2 service.bat config:
    set SVCNAME=CCP_SL
    set SVCDISP=CCP - ServiceLink
    set SVCDESC=JBoss instance for ServiceLink

  • 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...

  • Flickr Publish Service Colour Space

    I've read a couple of threads about setting colour spaces when exporting, including this thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2942130#2942130
    For many years I've used Photoshop Elements as my main editing software. The images that I've edited in PSE and then uploaded to Flickr using Flickr Uploadr all show the colour space as sRGB when I look up the EXIF data on Flickr.
    Since I've started using LR 3, I've noticed that the images published to Flickr from the LR Flickr publish service don't show any colour space when I look up the EXIF data in Flickr. I can't see anything in the Flickr publish service settings that allows me to embed a colour space.
    What colour space are the published images in? Am I missing a step somewhere in LR?

    Thanks for taking the time to reply and for the very helpful information.
    I'm aware of Jeffrey Friedl's plugin and I might eventually go that way, but for the moment I'm just trying to understand the built in publish service.
    I didn't have the Hard Drive publish service set up, so I did that with sRGB as the colour space and Minimize Metadata unchecked. I checked the settings for the Flickr publish service, Minimize Metadata was also unchecked there. The ability to set a colour space is definitely present in the Hard Drive publish service but absent from the Flickr publish service.
    After doing those things, I published some more photos to Flickr, again no colour space when I view the EXIF in Flickr. I still don't know whether no colour space is embedded, or whether sRGB is embedded but undisclosed.

  • 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.

  • LR3 Publishing Services

    LR 3 allows for publishing directly to publishing services. Flickr is the prominent one shown as the LR3 Publishing Service available. Can I instead set my photos to be published directly to my Facebook page, or another service. The available training does not seem to elaborate.

    I may have answered my own question by watching the training video further. The Web function may be the solution, and I'll explore it tomorrow.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Cannot Start BW Publisher Service after IK install

    I installed Integration Kit for 3.0 on a XI 3.0 deployment. After the installation, I was unable to start the BW Publisher Service. I also do not see the SAP Authentication drop down in CMC.
    I followed all the pre-reqs.....any idea what could be wrong? How can i troubleshoot this?
    Thanks,
    Kashif

    These are the steps I took:
    Pre IK Installation steps
    1. Extracted the contents the SAP Java Connector 2.1.8 into a folder on the server.
    2. Since the SAP GUI is already installed, the file u201Clibrfc32.dllu201D should already be present
    in the u201CC:\windows\system32u201D folder. Rename this to u201Clibrfc32.dll.oldu201D and copy the
    new one from the folder in step 1.
    3. Copied the u201Csapjcorc.dllu201D file from the folder in step 1 to the u201CC:\Windows\system32u201D
    folder.
    4. Copied the u201Csapjco.jaru201D file from the folder in step 1 to the u201CC:\Program Files\Business
    Objects\TOMCAT55\common\libu201D folder.
    And added to the Java ClassPath in Tomcat. Then I installed the IK.
    I assume the SAP Kit is installed ?
    Yes.
    Did you deploy the SAP Java Connector files ? (32bit)
    If deploying means what i mentioned above, then Yes.
    can you see a folder "SAP" in the webapps folder from TOMCAT ?
    No.
    Thanks for your help!
