I just started looking into using nGallery to maintain my digital images and so far I am very impressed. I love the fact that I can integrate Shutterfly and allow viewers to purchase the images. One question...is there any way to set it up so that Shutterfly
gets the image from the Shutterfly server rather than MY web server? The reason I ask is due to the size of the original photos, it takes up A LOT of space on my web server to keep the original resolution images on there...and of course, I wouldn't want Shutterfly
to print off of anything less than the highest rez. I realize this would involve uploading the original rez images to Shutterfly once I've scaled the images on my server, but it would be nice to be able to "store" the large images on the Shutterfly server.
Any info much appreciated, and again, Jason, great product.
Sorry, can't do that. The way we integrate with Shutterfly is controlled by Shutterfly. They have setup a way for outside places to send a image to them and order prints. That's the only way.
Thanks for the reply Ken. I kind of figured that. That's too bad because I would have made the switch from Ofoto. I still think I will look into the possibility of adding an image to a Shutterfly cart that is on the Shutterfly server. Couldn't I just write
some script that would go to the Shutterfly site and add the full rez image based on the file name, as long as that image has been uploaded to the Shutterfly server? It wouldn't be as clean but it would be something.
You maybe could. I don't know for certain, since I haven't look into it. I would bet it wouldn't be easy. It also wouldn't be something that we'd do or support, since it isn't something that would make it into the main nGallery build we'd have no way of knowing
how you're doing it or what not to support it.
