Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Export Plugin

[gdi]

I tried hard but could not find an answer in the thread so I'll ask...

I am able to get into export and see LR uploading, but then I get the "Oh no!
It looks like we were unable to connect to Pixelpost! Please verify that your Post Key & URL are set correctly." Message. I do not get the Logon dialog Box - it just stops at that point.

After turning on the log, I see this message:
"2009-04-05 20:24:52 -0400, WARN Function LrPhoto:withSettingsForPluginDo is deprecated as of Lightroom 2.0."

This function is in "PixelpostUploadTask.lua" in several places. I can't see how the plugin is working for anyone if the function no longer exists, maybe it is because I am running LR 2.3? Any help is appreciated!

Here are my specifics:

Mac OS X Leopard
PixelPost 1.7.1
LR Export Plugin 2.2beta
Lightroom 2.3

Thanks!

First off *ABSOLUTELY GREAT ADDON*!!!

Quick question, and sorry if you've answered this already. It's very hard to search with multiple conversations in one thread!

Question: how do we configure the plugin to address two-word keywords?

Examples: United States, Jason Wyckoff, Macro Photography

Wrong Results: United, States, Jason, Wyckoff, Macro, Photography

Expected Results: United States, Jason Wyckoff, Macro Photography

(LR 2.3 to PP 1.7.1)

TIA!,
Jason

Hi Jason,
Try using a underscore. ie United_States, Jason_Wyckoff, Macro_Photography
it works for me!

Yeah - I know that's an option in my tagging in Lightroom, but I'm *sure* there's a better way to fix it in the LR->PP plugin.

great plugin and if I can make it work with my lightroom workflow, it stands to save me a fortune of time and messing around with files and uploads.

One thing though. In lightroom I have my blog categories setup as keywords so I can apply them to photos as I process. However I see that the plugin treats lightroom keywords as pixelpost tags. Can I alter this to have lightroom keywords treated as pixelpost categories and enter my pixelpost tags in the categories spot in the export dialog?

Thanks to all for the work on this plugin, hope I can make it work for me.

may have sorted it..

changed in PixelpostUploadTask.lua, changed tags1 to the same as tags2 (exportParams.addTags) and changed

local categories = photo:getFormattedMetadata 'keywordTags'

Don't have my mac with me now to test it, but will report back later on with the progress.

[rymus]

Yep, that sorted it. Just shuffled around a few variables in PixelpostUploadTask and am now using lightroom keywords as categories in pixelpost uploader.

I've been trawling this forum for an answer to the error I've got but with no reasonable fix yet. The error I'm getting is:

04/28/2009 19:01:17 INFO uploading photo C:\Documents and Settings\admin.ADMIN-F07F2F62D\Local Settings\Temp\42348CEC-114F-44C1-8366-DF2189B9AD56\Penny for your thoughts.jpg
04/28/2009 19:01:17 WARN Pixelpost API returned error

Running LR 2.3, Pixelpost 1.7.1, URL & Postkey are copy/pasted from addons page and Date Time is set as now.

All I'm getting is the "Oh no" error suggesting the postkey or URL are wrong.
I've also added the code below to the htaccess file as suggested.

<Files "pp_upload.php">
Allow from all
Satisfy any
</Files>

I'd really, really like this to work.
