Setting up Lightroom 4.3 Publishing Services

I am having a problem setting up Lightroom 4.3 Publishing Services. Each time I click “OK I’ll Authorise button in Flickr it goes to a blank screen with no completion of the process. After many attempts over the last couple of days, this morning I was able to get error message from flickr that says “Oops! Flickr doesn't recognise the "oauth_token" this application is trying to use.” And goes on to say “You don't really need to know what this means, except that you can't use the application until this problem is fixed. (It's a third-party problem, not a Flickr problem).
Will someone in Adobe please advise what I do to correct this problem? I have reached an extreme level of frustration over this, please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi have solved the problem by uninstalling and reinstalling. I think the problem was because I upgraded from version 3.x to 4.1

Lightroom 5.2 Publish Services

I have Flickr and 500px set up in Publish Services of Lightroom 5.2. I can send photos to both sites OK. The "problem" is once I move from the "Flickr" highlighted bar to 500px both Bars are illuminated. The Flickr bar does not seem to release focus and I can no longer return to the Flickr Grid view. However, if I then double click the Flickr Bar and enter "Edit photoset" then add, say, a "space" to the Photoset name, press edit then the focus is released and the "Grid View" will return when I next click on the Flickr Bar. Is there a fix for this please

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.

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.

Publish Services

Did the export feature in Lightroom 5 replace publishing services?

So my question is how to populate those publish services? I used to just
drag photos to it. Now that is not working.
Consider posting a screen shot - circle the drop target...
But to clarify: you should be able to drag photos to publish service collections, unless they're smart collections.
For example, I can drop photos here and then publish them:

Publish Service

Added a couple additional publish services, but they don't show up in list. Facebook; Flickr, and SugmugMug yes, but others don't. Please explain.

I think those are basically all that are supported at present but you can set up any number of publish services to your hard drive.

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.

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

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.

Lightroom 4 Publish Services will not connect to Flickr.

I have been trying to set up Flickr in Lightroom 4 Publish Services but get an error message when I press "OK, I'll Authorise it" on the Flickr authorisation page. The message is "The address wasn't understood. Firefox dosen't know how to open this address". Can anyone help?

Unfortunately, there isn't anything we can really do on our side, as the problem here is that the expected behavior is not occuring and the failure is outside of Lightroom itelf.
Here is what is supposed to happen:
1. Lightroom sends a request to your web browser to open an authentication page that is already built in to the host web site.
2. You authenticate, which gives permission for your account information to be sent back to Lightroom. This substitutes the need to enter a user name and password. It's a hall pass for Lightroom to send your files to your online account.
3. With authentication complete, the web page sends a token (similar to a cookie) back to Lightroom, which is then used whenever Lightroom needs to access the web servers to upload a file.
The problem occurs in step three. The token is not being sent to Lightroom. Instead, the web browser is keeping it for some reason and attempting to open it. This shouldn't happen, but Lightroom doesn't have any control over your browser. Some suggestions are to clear your temporary internet files and cookies to see if corruption there is changing the behavior. Also, the Facebook app for Lightroom may have some issues, try deleting this from your Facebook account (within your account settings on the website).

Lightroom: Publish Services have gone corrupt

When I was trying to sync 500px with Lightroom 5, all the Publish Services have initialised.
SmugMug, Facebook, 500px, Revel, all have reset, and ask to be set up.
When I try to set up any of them, I get an error promptly, as below:
?:0: attempt to index field 'exportSettings' (a nil value)
How can I straighten out the app? Thanks!

I am having a similar problem. Were you able to find a fix. Thank You.

Publishing Services - Lightroom 4 in Windows 8

I installed a trial version of Lightroom 4, and I've added all my photos. I've struck a problem in trying to set up the Publishing Services to Facebook. When asked to choose an application, I put in Lightroom instead of a browser. (It's not really clear at that point what the choice of application is for!).What happens now is that when I try to authorise in Facebook, my browser gets caught in a loop and continues to open new pages until I shut it down. I tried uninstall/reinstall Lightroom but of course all the user data came back and the problem was still there. I need to find out either how to edit the choice of application in Publish Services remembering I can't even get that far now, because the browser just keeps on opening new sessions, or how to delete the data file. I'm using Windows 8.

Rob, I've now deleted Lightroom, and whatever I could find that was related. I know there's still other files somewhere and that's another issue, the way it leaves stuff spread all over the system. Spent the last few hours getting Elements back up and running properly. I'm disappointed because I know Lightroom has some excellent editing tools not available in the RAW editor of Elements. I don't know if you have any contact with Adobe, but they need to take a look at the help pages for installing Publishing, they don't even mention the step I think caused the issue, it's just glossed over with "answer the prompts". I wonder how many other frustrated users finish up deleting?
Thanks again for your help. If you do come up with a possibility, let me know, if I can get the problem fixed I might be talked into giving Lightroom another go.

Published service from Lightroom to Behance

It seems the only option in Lightroom with regard to published services to Behance, is "work in progress" which seems a bit restrictive. Is there a plug-in for Lr or Be that allows one to publish and export PROJECTS as well?

Hi everyone - very sorry for the confusion, I absolutely should have started at the beginning of the thread to understand the full context of the discussion.
The feature request you're referring to - the ability to publish a Project directly from the Adobe apps as opposed to Works-in-Progress - has been made clear to our product team, and is something they're aware of. I'm sorry that I don't have more details to give on the process of how feature requests are handled, but what we do know is that the way the product team thinks about Projects is that they should be polished, finished pieces with a contextual intro, potentially captions on the images, and more. We don't want the easy "share to Behance" workflow to encourage users to publish projects of a single image, or a set of images with no context or additional information. The "share to Behance" feature is a better fit for WIP, which is why the Product Team made this decision.
However, we fully understand that you're frustrated by this workflow, and I'll make sure to bring this feedback to the product team to let them know how much the Photographer Community would appreciate the ability to publish Projects directly from within Lightroom.
Thanks for your feedback and sorry for the mis-interpretation of the original question on my part!

Set-Up Publish Services Help - Facebook, Smugmug, Shutterfly

Hi. I'm relatively new to Lightroom 5 and am trying to set-up/configure publish services to be able to share photos on Facebook, Shutterfly, and Smugmug. In all instances I am getting stuck when trying to authenticate my account on each of these social sites. Basically I enter my log-in information and hit authenticate and then nothing happens. Please advise what I am doing incorrectly. Thank you!

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

Lightroom 5 to Behance Publish Service doesn't recognize Creative Cloud login

I'm trying to publish to my Behance service which I have access to via Creative Cloud. When I try to set up the publish service in Lightroom 5 it gives a wrong password error when I enter the Creativer Cloud name and password. I can log in to Behance with those credentials and have already set up a simple page.

Sarahktrapp1,
Quoting you (May 6) in another thread titled "I cannot link Lightroom CC to my Behance account".
Unfortunately, a recent change made to the Lightroom integration has caused this feature to be inaccessible to some users.
The feature should continue to work as normal for those who had previously used it, but new users won’t be able to authenticate.
The Lightroom team is working hard to fix this as soon as possible, but it will be inaccessible for a number of weeks, so we suggest that you use Behance directly in order to share your work there. Simply login to Behance with your Adobe ID, and add a Project or WIP directly to your portfolio instead.
Note that the other Creative Cloud integrations (Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator) will continue to work as normal - more instructions on how to use those here.
Thank you so much for your patience.
So apparently, you know why we can't login from Lightroom with valid credentials and you asked us to wait for a fix. The initial post in this thread reports the very same problem but you are giving us a different answer. Has this problem been fixed? Is it another problem with the same symptoms? I guess it's time to clear up the confusion.
Thanks.
