Today, I received a trouble report that the plug-in was failing with the following:

Unfortunately, this may be an indication that Shutterfly has finally shut down their developer API after several years of letting it run on auto-pilot. There’s always a chance it’ll start working again, but, after a nearly 12 year run, […]

I’ve received a report that image uploads using “Seamless Sign-in” have stopped working. I was able to reproduce the problem using Shutterfly’s own developer tools on their web site, making it pretty conclusive that something has changed on the Shutterfly side. I’ve reported the problem to The Black Hole Shutterfly Developer Support.

In the […]

A user of the Shutterfly Upload plug-in recently notified me of a problem occurring during “seamless sign-in” account authentication (thanks, Taci!). It seems that Shutterfly has implemented a change on their side that now requires user intervention to complete the process.

First, a bit of background. When you press the “Authenticate…” button in the […]

There have been several reports recently of users being unable to upload particular images: most will upload fine, but a handful refuse to go.  The error message being (incorrectly) reported makes it sound like there’s an authentication/sign-on problem, but that’s obviously not the case since some of the uploads work OK.

Log files have […]

I just tried the Seamless Sign-in feature and discovered that it’s functional again! I never did receive any word from engineering acknowledging the problem existed in the first place, so I can only keep my fingers crossed that it’ll stay “fixed”. But, for now, it works!

I apologize (on Shutterfly’s behalf) for any inconvenience […]

Unfortunately, no good news to report on Shutterfly’s code problem that’s causing the seamless sign-in function to break in the Shutterfly Upload plug-in. Shutterfly’s Level 2 support has punted the problem back to me, and has asked me to work with engineering directly via their developerhelp@shutterfly.com email address. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that anyone […]

After several phone calls to Shutterfly, and working with four different Level 2 Support agents, I was told today that engineering is aware of the problems with their Seamless Sign-in facility, and that it’s being worked on. I’ve been told to expect a status update soon. When I hear something more, I’ll post it […]

Following code changes on Shutterfly’s servers, the Shutterfly Upload’s “Seamless Sign-in” functionality is broken. I’ve spoken to Shutterfly’s Level 2 support, and they’re looking into it. In the meantime, if you’re having problems, turn off the “Use Seamless Sign-in” option using the Lightroom Plug-in Manager (see the plug-in help for more information). Be sure […]

The much anticipated (by me, anyway 😉 ) release of version 1.4 of my Shutterfly Upload export plug-in for Adobe Lightroom has finally happened! This release contains lots of new goodies:

Seamless sign-in (a.k.a. application authentication) Lightroom Publish Service support Shutterfly “folder” support integrated “help” and much, much, more!

Take a look at the […]
