This double approach seems to screw the whole system up. However, during the FB authorisation process, FB and Firefox opens a file that also wants to inform LR that it has authorised. It seems to me that the publishing profile in LR (on original setup) seeks the authorisation and leaves a dialogue box awaiting the user once authorisation is obtained. This is similar to what happened to me the very first time I tried to set it up. I'm usually pretty savvy with these things.really! So can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance! But that no longer occurs and I'm moved on to the problem stated above. And when I first tried to authorize my account tonight it was doing something different was asking me to enter my "Facebook Application ID". But it never seemed to stop and I can't seem to authorize my account so I don't know. And while this was occuring I noticed different folder being highlight in my LR catalog so I thought, okay, it's doing something. This led to the million firefox tabs continual tabs opening as someone else in this thread referenced. Confused at this point I tried firefox.exe. I went for the obvious lightroom.exe, but no dice. It takes me to facebook, but then I get a screen telling me "this link needs to be opened with an application" and it wants me to choose an application (.exe). I watched Terry White's great video, but he just clicked a button and presto! he was connected. Having trouble authorizing my facebook account so that I can publish via Lightroom. The tool is a good tool, however please remember, if you modify the photo within LR after uploading, when you update this photo any comments or likes that users placed within FB will be lost forever, so do try and ensure that your photos are correct prior to posting. The reason for setting up the two seperate FB Publish services for myself, is that one automatically inserts a watermark into the photos (copyrighted collection), where as the other does not. My own standard non-copyright FB collections If you create a new album, you can set the privacy settings here also.Īt the moment, I currently have three Facebook Publish services on my LR 3.2 setup Ģ. To create or link to another album, simply right click on the Facebook service, select create collection, give it a name and either create a new album to link it to, or select an existing album. During the initial setup, you select or create an album, if you go into setup again, you do not have the option of creating any further albums - this is different from the jf tool and is probably what is confusing people. However, as a previous user of jf Facebook, I still rate jf better than the LR Facebook tool, the only issue I have with the jf tool is it's difficult for me due to problems with my PayPal account, but the tool itself is superb.Īnyhow, I digress, back to the point of this post, after setting up your Facebook publish service, you may create as many collections, linked to either new or existing albums as you wish under this service. The tool is actually very useful and far superior to the standard FB photo upload tools. My problem with the service being unavailable rectified itself the very next morning, I can only guess that FB had that service down at the time I was trying to upload.įor those people who believe that you can only have one album per service, this is incorrect.
