    Uploading to facebook

    Hi Guys. I love this feature so much! Thanks! I use facebook a lot and this feature has certainly made my life easier.

    I have a question. Are the pictures that are uploaded into facebook resized by Zenfolio before being placed there? Or is it resized by Facbook. The reasons why I have this concern is because I heard that they can use the uploaded content for their own purposes (correct me if i'm wrong). Here is a link that has some information on this: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5606823556

    If this is true, I hope that the pictures are resized to a maximum of 800 pixels in width and height before they are being uploaded.

    Re: Uploading to facebook

    ok I tried to help you Darren, but I guess I need help.  I tried to test this and see if I could find the exact image size of the pics that got uploaded to facebook, and all I can seem to do is create a link to my gallery.

    I saw Vitas uploaded a gallery to facebook, how is this being done?  I'm not looking in the right spot I guess.  (I'm such a noob)

     All the pictures are resized by our server to be 604px on the largest size before uploading to Facebook. 604px is standard size for the pictures on Facebook.

    wait wait wait!  you didn't answer my question!  where are we finding this? everything I do just creates a link to the Zenfolio page, either photo, gallery or slideshow.  Found the embeddable slideshow (thanks JAS) but how are you actually uploading photos to facebook?  (man I don't like being on the 'not knowing' side of the table).  hehehe

    You can export to Facebook or Flickr from “edit gallery”. Select a photo and open the photo menu. Clicking “Export” in the menu will bring the export dialog up.

    Re: Uploading to facebook

    the facebook upload feature is excellent but only allows uploading to my facebook profile. Is there a way to upload to my business facebook page rather than my personal profile? http://www.facebook.com/pages/Newent-United-Kingdom/Blueexpanse-Photography/96791639938

    I am an admin of the page so i would think this is do-able.

    Thanks 

    Alex

    Re: Uploading to facebook

    Agreed. I too would like to upload selected, watermarked photos from Zenfolio to my Facebook business page: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/United-Kingdom/PhotoGlow/103208980417

    I can't see a way of doing it with the current Zenfolio export method.  Enabling this would be much appreciated.

     Hi after reading this I prepared a special collection to export to Facebook only to discover that the option doesn't appear in a collection. Will the option to export a collection to Facebook become available? Cheers.

    CANNOT find Upload to facebook

    If you are working in a collection - you will never find the export option. You must be in a gallery. After wasting a lot of time, I finally found it!

    Document Document Document please Zenfolio gurus!

    Add me to the list of looking to be able to upload directly to Facebook page instead of profile. Adding this functionality would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Add me to the list.  I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see an option where we choose... personal site, business page, or both.  Oh and I totally love the new export feature using a custom watermark.  Just want it even better!  Great start Zenfolio... don't stop now.

    Re: Uploading to facebook

    Hi guys,

    Excellent to know!  One question though and bit off topic, but how do you set up a personal and buisness accounts on facebook?  When I looked into that recently it looked like they prohibited that same person have both personal and business account.

    I just signed up for zenfolio today and I'm really liking what I see so far! 

    Best regards,
