Smugmug Publish Plugin

I'm trying to update my Smugmug Publish Plugin from version 2.0.3.1 to the current 2.0.7.0. I keep getting the message "Unable to perform Plugin Update. Failed to move the old plugin out of the way." How do I get this done? Thanks! LR 5.2.

Well, if you can download using some other "idiot proof" means (or find the one that got downloaded prior to the failure), then a procedure for updating, which may or may not work properly, is:
1. Close Lightroom
2. Delete existing plugin (a smart person would move this somewhere instead of deleting).
3. Copy new plugin to where previous plugin was.
4. Open Lightroom
By "plugin" I mean {name}.lrplugin folder.
So the trick is to find the plugin.
Mine would be in "C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Modules" for example.
I don't know whether there is something important that the auto-installer/updater is doing that will be neglected when doing manually, so consider backing up your system first, and follow my procedure at your own risk...

Help for smugmug publish plugin on Mac OSX 10.9.4

I cannot for the life of me find the smugmug zip file which is supposedly downloaded on my computer after installing the adobe add-on. I made sure the creative cloud folder is correct however when I go to my finder, I can't find the plugin zip file.
I've tried changing the finder preferences to show all extensions but I still can't find it. I saw in another thread somewhere about going to the module directory under the library/application support but I don't see the plugin there either.
Can someone help me please? I'd appreciate it!

Hi hooliagh,

Smugmug Publish Service in LR4

LR3 included a native SmugMug publish service, but it is missing in the LR4 beta. Is there a way to enable it without using the jFreidl export plugin?

It looks like that will have to come from Smugmug. The following quote is from the LR4 writeup by Victoria Bampton, who also posts a lot in this forum:
It doesn’t ship SmugMug plug-in now because it’s easier for SmugMug to distribute updates themselves, rather than waiting for the next Lightroom dot release
The best thing to do would be to go to Smugmug's support forum or email them and ask when they'll have a Lightroom 4 plug-in ready. Their support is pretty responsive.

Some photos will not add to my SmugMug Publish Collection

Two days ago I upgraded to Lightroom 3 and I'm having trouble adding some files to a SmugMug Publish Collection. I cant figure out why some photos will add to the collection and some won't. I don't get an error message, I don't get any idication as to why some files will add and others will not. I have tried to drag them to the publish section a single photo at a time and in a group.
Any suggestions!??!?

Sorry for the troubles with the LR3 uploader. Have you read through our help page on LR3? Check out the link below, it's possible that you are missing a step. If you can't figure it out there then feel free to email us at our help desk and one of our friendly support heroes will be happy to help solve the problem.

Joomla Publish plugin

I am looking in to writing a publish plugin for a gallery component running under the Joomla CMS (1.5).
I don't know lua, so I'm going to have some learning to do, but my question is has anybody done something similar?
If so, was xmlrpc or another authentication/protocol system used? Although I undrstand PHP and C++ I'm unsure of the best method to use for remote user authentication and everything else!!!
I realise I am going to have to write the api for the component (Joomgallery - http://www.en.joomgallery.net ) because none exists, but before I embark on this I need to know the best way to go about this.
I realise this is a big ask, but if someone has done something similar it will give me a starting point to research, I have never used xmlrpc either so maybe more stuff to research.
My ultimate goal, to create a plugin that will handle publishing of categories as well as images, the ability to retrieve comments and rankings and ultimately the ability to link to the cart system i.e. retrieve orders to create collections with sub collections of print sizes/finishes of selected images.
Any insight of where to start, what to research etc would be much appreciated.

I'm not familiar with Joomla, but I have written plugins that communicate with servers via xml-rpc.
Download any of my plugins and inspect the code for checking the server for an update - it uses the usual client as master, server as slave, which is the easiest to do.
I also wrote a system whereby server can be master (client replies to server commands instead of the other way around), and one where both sides were peers (either side could issue spontaneous commands that the other would reply to), but client side as master is simplest (the usual: client issues commands, server responds) and therefore recommended if possible.
Note: xml-rpc is great once the infrastructure is in place. Although if you only have a relatively small set of things you'll need to do, and don't plan to reuse the parts, and/or talk to foreign servers that also speak xml-rpc..., a regular web-app kinda thing (using url-params) may get you to a working solution sooner.
If Joomla speaks xml-rpc already, then maybe it's a no-brainer...

Seems like SmugMug publish service clobbers my connection

When I am uploading via a SmugMug publish service it only uses 80KB/s of my 500KB/s upload bandwidth, yet other computers on the network(DSL Router) fail to load webpages, sometimes even fail to find web servers(I assume DNS lookups are failing in this case).
Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Is there anything that can be done? I don't see any QoS type settings on the router, priority settings, etc. I have installed some bandwidth throttling software and the network frees up when I set it below what LR is trying to use, e.g. a setting of 60KB/s is enough to free up the other computers and allow them to surf fine.
I'm all for efficient uploads but if LR isn't allowing other devices to share the network while uploading that would seem to be a defect.

If your net is that sensitive to an app then you have some other problem. TCP/IP implementions are tuned to ensure that network applications are "good neighbours" to each other. You shouldn't need QoS tweaks for this sort of traffic. It is more likely your provider is doing traffic-shaping of some kind.
Without basic network diagnostic details it is impossble to say what is going on, but it is important to note that all that Lightroom is doing is making API calls, letting the lower levels of the TCP/IP connection manage throughput and connection management, which includes managing traffic for multiple applications and consumers. This is pretty much how everything works, and always has.
You should break the problem down into smaller pieces. How is your router sharing this single connection? Is the private side actually a router, or is it a switch? Is the switch working correctly? What sorts of connection affects are we seeing? Is the problem at the TCP or application level, or the IP level. If you suspect name resolution, why are exsiting caches also suffering? Or can you prove it is always new or expired lookups? What is the nature of the connection(s) created by Lightroom (netstat and tcpdump are your friends in this regard.)
In reference to this last question, it may be that Lr is doing multi-threaded concurrent uploads, and the number of open connections is triggering some sort of traffic shaping heuristic. I don't know the details of the SmugMug API, but it is possible. Flickr, et al, pretty much handle uploads and replaces as a series of multipart POSTs. If SmugMug is doing something similar, then there is no way the app is at fault here. It is sending the POST parts as fast as it can through the standard OS TCP libraries, which will stop when the TCP messages it gets tell it to wait for bit and back off. The app spends most of this time waiting.
Networks are subtle and complicated beasts, and the majority of consumer all-in-one routers out there, quite frankly, suck. But the take-away here is that the application is only one small part of the equation. TCP/IP is designed from the ground up to be resilient to hungry apps, which will accept throttling as normal operation. If that connection is not being throttled, then we need to look lower down in the network stack.

Smugmug Publish Service issues

The set-up and initial sync worked great but sometimes it does not allow me to add Categories, Galleries and when it does, it will not let me to place LR Pics in it to publish... I then went to my Smugmug and added some there ... but how do you then see the new SmugMug gallery? Existing galleries were put in the LR publist Service under Smugmug fine and I can use these... There has to be some trick or something I am over looking?

In the Publish Services Tab right click on the SmugMug button and select Edit settings.
Under smugMug Settings check the box “Synch Hierarchy” and then click on the “Synch Now” Button.
Make sure your computer is connected to the internet.

My Publisher plugin Open Type Fonts DON'T PRINT iPhoto 6.0.5 (316)

I want to post this problem in the hopes it will save some other people the 7 months of frustration I have gone through with My Publisher.
Apparently, My Publisher is unable to print Open Type fonts. After 7 months of editing and re-editing photos, scanning and re-scanning photos, and placing 13 different orders, someone at My Publisher finally called me to help with the problem. The phone call came after I had emailed Walt Mossberg of the WJS about their total lack of customer service!
After every order I placed, for the same book, was cancelled, I received the exact same form email, which said I have a corrupt photo file/.jpg and I should fix it. I kept telling them that the Mac and iPhoto don't send them any .jpgs, only a PDF file. No matter what I told them, I got the same email in reply—I have a corrupt .jpg.
Once they decided to help me (after almost 7 months), we were able to narrow down the problem within a week. They had me produce the same book on a PC, which I was unable to do because they only have about 4 templates and 6 fonts to choose from and are nothing like iPhoto. I made a book and just randomly inserted all the photos, no text. The book printed fine, proving to My Publisher that there was nothing wrong with any of my .jpgs.
I questioned My Publisher as to why the PC was limited to 6 fonts and were they installed with their BookMaker software and they said "Yes." This led me to believe my problem was with the fonts and they agreed. After talking to them further about fonts, they said they had trouble printing Post Script fonts, but they had printed several books for me that used Post Script fonts. The culprit turned out to be an Open Type font. Once I changed the Open Type font to the True Type version, the book printed perfectly. I don't know if this problem was limited to only this particular font or all Open Type fonts.
I have asked My Publisher to pursue this problem and post information about it on their website so other people don't have to go through all this frustration.
Other than this problem, I have been very happy with all the books I have received from My Publisher. The quality has been excellent. The color is a bit off in a few photos some of the time, but for the most part, the color is quite accurately reproduced, at least to my eye. Hot pinkish/purple colors seem to pose a problem.

Thanks for the information. I hope to place my first order with them. I am searching for others' experiences to make sure I don't make the same mistakes.
Thanks again.

My smug mug publish plug in did not update. How can I fix this?

Mac OSX 10.9.4 - Can't find smugmug add-on zip file for LR

I want to add a published service for smugmug onto LR and for the life of me I can't find it in my downloads folder. I logged into creative cloud and have syncing on and made sure it is in the correct folder. I made sure creative cloud is pointed to the folder I want. I went to the Adobe Add-ons and clicked to install the smugmug publish plugin. I then go to the folder in my finder and it is nowhere to be found. In fact, I can't find it anywhere on my computer.
What the??? I'm trying to figure out where it is even though it says it's installed. I made sure that the finder is displaying everything by going to preferences and showing all file extensions.
Does anybody have any idea what's going on?

Unable to install SmugMug plugin into Lightroom

I've been using Lightroom and the SmugMug plugin for a long time. I got a new computer and set everything up using Creative Cloud installed LR. No problems there. Went to use my SmugMug publishing and it said the add wasn't installed. No problem, there is this nice link takes you to the page. Press add. It shows up in the Creative Cloud app manager. Cool. But I can't get it to show up in the plug in manager of LR.
I find out that the Extension Manager can help, ok so I install that. It shows having SmugMug already installed. Great.
It still doesn't show up in LR. I even tried downloading the zip file, but the zip format is something I can't extract.
I'm obviously missing something some where, but beats the hell out of me where. If you are going manage plug ins, why don't they show up in LR automatically?
Bob

I found the answer, don't use the Adobe tools. Go to SmugMug download the zip file and then import with the LR Plug In Manager.

Smugmug plugin error

Ever since I updated to Lightroom 5 the plugin has not worked. I downloaded the latest smugmug plugin and tried to add it as a new plugin (I did delete the old one prior to doing this). I don't get the little green button letting me know the plugin is install successfully, instead I get a yellew botton. Not sure how to troubleshoot.
I created a new folder within the smugmug publish tab and added the photos I wanted to publish. I get an error saying "Failed to create an album on Smugmug - Please try again or contact support"
when I look at the error file in Notepad I get the following. Any help appreciated.

Lightroom 5 issue with publish to facebook export plugin: not authorized status

Hi,
trying to connect Lr 5 to fb and being stuck at the authorization process.
In the facebook publish plugin within Lr I hit the 'authorize on facebook'.
IE is launched, facebook opened and it guides me throug the usual step, everything looking normal and fine.
Facebook finally states the app is added and authorized (this is showing up under apps as well looking good).
However Lr is taking a moment to realize the authorization process is done, but then it goes to 'not authorized' status instead of authorized.
I simply tried doing it again, it restarts the process but facebook than gives an error.
I assumed this was due to the app already being there listed under authorized apps, so I removed the app on facebook. fb worked again through the process, but Lr keeps getting not authorized out of it while it is perfectly fine and authorized looking on facebook..
Umm.. help?
Thanks for any clues, I'm a bit well clueless right now ;p
Cheers

Hello,
this is a Facebook problem and not a Lr problem !
Go into Facebook, open your account and go into account settings. There you will find a passage called apps, open it and you see all programs and apps that are allowed to 'play' with your account. There you will find Adobe Photoshop Lightroom in the list. Delete it from there, so that Lightroom has no more the permission to do anything with your Facebook account.
After this, go into Lightroom, chose the exporting services for Facebook, right click on it and connect it to Facebook with your account name and password like you did it before.
That should solve the problem in complete !
Good luck
Robert

LR4 does not allow me to publish to smugmug

I can publish photos to galleries that already contain photos published through LR, but I cannot publish to galleries that have no previous photos published through LR. This is repeatable. I have the latest publish plugin and LR4 version. Any ideas why?

I've sorted out the error code 13109 problem.
With a little bit of patience I went through all my albums and re-synced them individually, but the problem was my audio books, some were corrupted with double entries that were not identical. Took out the corrupted books, and hey presto. Problem solved.
Sent corrupted files to recycle bin and deleted them out of there before the re-sync.
Got my music on my iPhone and my iPad
Best of all no restore, yeah

Trying to upload lightroom edited photos to smugmug
