I just want to say THANK YOU for creating this and sharing it with us. This has greatly reduced my workflow!

[You're welcome! I'm glad the plug-in makes things easier for you. -Don]

Hi Tony,

The current incarnation of the plug-in is Lightroom 2 compatible — no Publishing Manager. For now, use the “File->Export…” method to ship your images to Shutterfly (just as you would in LR2). I’ll be looking at whether it makes sense to implement the new Publishing paradigm in my plugin. Given the limited management capabilities provided by Shutterfly’s API, it may make more sense to leave things the way they are. We’ll see….

-Don

I’m using LR3 and have successfully added the plugin in the plugin manager without any problems. However, the plugin doesn’t show up in the Publishing Manager. Any idea what the reason could be?

Worked fine on LR3 production release as well. Thank you Don.

[Thanks for the update! -Don]

[Thanks for letting me know! -Don]

Hi Natashia,

Sorry that you’re having problems with the plug-in. In order to help, I’ll need to see a logging of the problem. Please visit the FAQ page, and follow the instructions posted there to capture a log. After you send it to me, I’ll let you know what I find!

-Don

[Update: Natashia ran into a bug dealing with how the characters &<>'" were handled in passwords. This was fixed in V1.3 of the plug-in. -Don]

Hi Don,

I can’t even get beyond the Logging In stage when I tried to export to Shutterfly. Using version 1.2 build 200912011316. I get this error messages:

400
openfly:reason>BAD_REQUEST
could not parse entry XML

I’m not a programmer so it’s all strange to me. Would appreciate any help on this. Thanks a lot and thanks for coming up with this plugin in the first place!

[I haven't done any testing with the Lightroom 3 beta, and Adobe hasn't released any SDK documentation for the new code yet, so I can't say whether it's my code or their code that's broken . But, thanks for the heads-up that all is unlikely to be smooth in the transition to LR3. -Don

Update: I've posted a query to the LR3 beta Adobe forum. I'll update this post if I get any new information. -Don

Update #2: While I haven't received a definitive answer from any Adobe employee, it looks like there's been a change with the published API that broke the metadata maintenace tools introduced in v1.1 of this plug-in. I've published v1.2 of the plug-in that works-around the change on LR3 beta, while continuing to work on LR 2.x versions. -Don]

Hello Don,

This is a great idea but unfortunately, it does not login or find the Shutterfly server. I get the error message:

https://ws.shutterfly.com Connection with Server Could Not be Established.

I though your diagog said this was insecure yet it looks like it is calling a Web Service using SSL. Anyway, I can connect an log in manually (outside of your plugin) but I am unable to perform any syn with Shutterfly from your program.

Regards,

Dorien

[Hi Dorien. I think this is a transient issue or something specific to your environment. I tried to send you a message directly, but the email address you provided bounced. Please send me a note to

and I'll resend my message. -Don]

Don, Can you add the ability to mark the photos that are uploaded to shutterfly and the date they were uploaded using your plugin. This is a feature of the Flickr plugin that allows me to create a smart collection to see all the images uploaded to Flickr.

[Good suggestion. I'll take a look and see what I can do. -Don]

[Metadata support was added to version 1.1 of the plug-in. -Don]
