Ah, I see.

I wasn't aware we were exclusively discussing adding SC options to a PBASE gallery. I was thinking about it on an independent scale.

Understood.

I've used only Ofoto and thought they were incredible, better
than the expensive film custom printers I'd used before. So,
it's great to get your recommendation on whcc ! I'll definitely
try it.

When we print our own, the ink and paper costs are really
high, and I imagine the pro house results will last longer too.

Thanks,

Andrys, you will not be disappointed with whcc. Great folks to work with. Their color calibration of prints is superior to ofoto, imho. However, of late, I've been using ezprints - they have a convenient feature where they can ship directly to the customer. Last time I asked whcc, they did not have a well worked out plan for direct customer delivery.

Re: Formatting PayPal link code... help??

1. Yes, paypal has a "wizard" that automatically generates code for you to be able to add the 'Add to Cart' or 'Buy now' buttons to your website. As I mentioned before, its better (though not necessary) to know what you are doing. You could blindly insert what paypal generates, but then its also very easy to make mistakes if you are doing it in bulk for a lot of images.

2. You need to insert the HTML code into your own site. For example, if you were doing it in pbase, typically, you would insert the HTML code in the description of the image (In pbase, Edit Image -> and insert the HTML code in the caption box)



Hi... I'm working on the gallery pages for a friend of mine who has the "enchantment studios" site.

I'm trying to implement the Paypal code now and have been running into some trouble with the formatting when the code delivered by paypal is dumped into the "caption" area pertaining to the particular image. For some reason, it adds a whole bunch of extra space in the table cells and nothing I do seems to be rid of it-- I can get the table code just right when viewed in a typical web page with no extra code, but the same chunk dumped into the caption section gives me problems.

I'm thinking that I'll be forced into editing the stylesheets, but as I've got no CSS experience and I can't even figure out where the stylesheet is that pertains to a specific selected image (not the parent gallery) I'm a bit stuck at the moment... Any of you sharpies able to give me a hand for a moment? Here's the link to the page I'm working on:

http://www.pbase.com/enchantmentstudios/image/39993625

You should see the problem from that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated... you can email me at:
idnworks@yahoo.com

-Thanx

Shawn,
here is what you need to do - make all of that in one line. What paypal generates has line breaks - thats the problem. Paste the entire code into notepad and make it all one line with no breaks in between

Okay, it's now July and I'm wondering if you're still using ezprints
instead of whcc.com because of the latter's convenient feature of
shipping directly to the customer.

I've had a few requests lately, and two of them are for photos
where the color of the photo print will be very important

http://www.pbase.com/andrys/image/37063965
http://www.pbase.com/andrys/image/37063968

Also, it looks like some exposure correction will be needed. I do
have the larger photos from which these were resized.

I guess ezprints.com must do a really good job or you wouldn't
be using them instead of whcc.com ? Do you sometimes use the
latter if a print result is very important?

Thanks for your advice!

Hi Andrys,
I still use ezprints - I have not yet received a complaint from anyone. The best way to do it would be to order a print from both places and compare for yourself.

Thanks, Arjun, for the quick response!

I just finished reading whcc's site and I have a supreme
headache from it :-)

Since I use Paintshop rather than Adobe (though I have the latter's
7.01 on the HD but found it less intuitive), it's harder for me to match
what they need.

EZPrint looks very welcoming and I'll see about how I can
crop the originals etc.

THANKS!

Paypal Script to automatically grab Image Names

I have set up this paypal solution on my pbase gallery, but its not a great solution because the users must become paypal members.

Paypal claims they dont have to, its supposed to be a new option for business and premier accounts. But then they do, maybe because that feature is 'only available to off-market', not sure what that means.

Anyway, the trouble is most of my clients come from Gibraltar, and Paypal doesnt officially work in Gibraltar, they have to have postal addresses and bank accounts outside Gibraltar to be able to use it, so I was depending on them not having to create a paypal account.

Aside from the issue above, I am intrigued by worldbuilder's post. What kind of account must one open with VISA, etc to receive payments from VISA users on your site? Or do you just need the right software and a bank account? I'd really like to find out about this and hopefully the overheads arent too many.

Have any of you taken a look at http://www.buythisimage.com? It is a photo processing, printing, delivery service. You sign up (it is free), you post a code they give you in the caption part of each of your large images on Pbase, and people can click on the "Buythisimage" icon that appears beneath the image. That takes them to a page where they can order various sizes of the image at prices you determine in advance. The company notifies you to upload a high-res copy of the ordered image, collects the customer's payment, and ships the ordered item. You get a what the customer pays less printing costs and an 18% transaction fee. See: http://www.buythisimage.com/BuyPhoto/faq#pricing. I have not tried this out yet. BTW the various codes they give you can be used for images in other websites and blogs (e.g. Flicker and jAlbum generated galleries). It does not seem to work in conjunction with Lightroom or Adobe Bridge CS4 generated web galleries.
