    Ding! Ding! Ding! I finally found a combination that works. It seems that when logging into smugmug, having the login linked to facebook account option was throwing things off. These steps worked for me:

    1) in smugmug social account, remove facebook app

    2) in facebook, remove smugmug app

    3) close all safari windows, empty cache, restart safari

    4) relogin to smug mug BUT DO NOT USE THE LINK TO FACEBOOK ACCOUNT OPTION

    5) go to a photo in album, choose publish to facebook. little blue facebook button appears, but this time it actually works and brings up an authentication screen.

    New system seems good, looking forward to experimenting with it!

    Argh!! It just stopped working right after I went back to it. The first post to facebook worked great. Now it gets me to the "Before we can begin, you need to connect with Facebook and grant us..." screen, but there is not even a non-functional blue button to press, just blank beneath the text...

    OK, I got it to start working again by deleting the smugmug app from facebook and starting over.

    So for those of you experiencing this issue, do you/have you used Facebook for logging in, and/or Be Social? And if so did you experience the same problems there? Bugs that you can't reproduce are the worst to try and track down, so any information is awesome.

    Thanks,
    Scott.

    Will someone from SmugMug please post a Release Note when this log-in issue is repaired. I'm a professional photographer - I have no interest in clearing cache, etc.

    It works just fine doing those couple of steps.

    Does the Publish feature carry over the watermarking if we have SmugMug apply it when we upload new files?

    Yes, if the images have watermarks they will be preserved when publishing to Facebook.

    I had the same problem where the facebook button did nothing. I deleted my facebook from Social Apps, and deleted SmugMug from facebook. Logged back into my website and all works as expected.

    No, they lose the horizontal watermark and keep the vertical on every picture I have tried (over 100.)

    I also have the same problem as many -the Publish button shows up sometimes, sometimes not. No matter what browser.

    Has this fixed the problem that it publishes to facebook but leaves it open to all friends to view on your page rather than following your "except" rules set in facebook

    Created album but didn't publish photos
    I have tried this twice and get completely through the process, then I get the message that an email will be sent when the photos are published. Then nothing else. Looked on facebook and the album was created but it doesn't have any of the photos.


    UPDATE: Checked one last time before logging off and the photos are published complete with a BUY THIS PHOTO link and all. The watermarks all were in place also.
    Never dwell on the past or dread the future, live life in the present, it's better that way.

    mylogon, can you either post here or PM an example of where this is happening. Ideally the Facebook Photo, and the SmugMug one so I can see what's going on.

    Thanks,
    Scott.

    I'm at the "Publish to Facebook" page on SmugMug. I click on publish to "A Facebook Page Album." Then I get "Please pick a page to work with." When I click on the drop down menu, there are no albums listed. I just have an option marked as "x." I've sent an e-mail to SmugMug and they didn't have a fix; they said they'd pass it on to the testing team. Any input here on how to fix this? Thanks.

    Figured it out: I had to select "post to a personal page" instead of a FB page album. They are uploading now.

    What a great feature! There are a few things that I'd like to see:
    1. A custom watermark for photos shared on FB. I don't typically watermark on SmugMug, but I always add a watermark before exporting on my machine and then sharing on FB.
    2. Metadata filtering to select photos from a gallery to share (e.g. by rating, IPTC metadata, date, etc.). That would make it much easier to go through 300 photos to select 5 to share.
    Keep up the good work!

    Facebook Login Button Fixed?
    I think we may have fixed the issue with the blue facebook login button not working. Can anyone who had that problem please try again and let me know if it works for you now?

    Thanks,

    Love this new feature - been using it a lot over the past couple days.

    You can see the results here:
    http://facebook.com/JoshTrefethenPhotography

    A couple ideas regarding usability -

    Would be nice to have it default to the last page you used...so you don;t have to select it each and every time.

    And, after posting a few images here and there, I can really see the need to have it remember your last publish settings as a default (size, link type, etc) - this would save me sooo many clicks!

    thoughts?

    Regards,

    -Josh

    Hi Heros!

    I am sure you have already heard about this but thought I'd share...

    When using the share to FB piece of the last feature addition - You cannot be logged into your FB using your FB Fan Page. You must be logged into your personal
    account in order for the site to authenticate you.

    I trouble shot it and after a couple of attempts to figure it out before emailing you - this is what I came up with :)

    Well thought out and intuitive...
    The Facebook publish option is very cool. However, the Xlarge picture isn't as big as what you get when you load directly to Facebook. That's the only drawback I see so far. It is going to be very slick to not have to post to both places - save a lot of time. The link on FB back to your gallery is a nice touch as well.

    Help with the Share button
    I'm excited about the publish to facebook feature but I'm having a little trouble getting it to work. I'm sure I'm missing a step somewhere but any help would be appreciated.

    I've done the "join" feature but when I go to any of my galleries and then go to "share", there is no "publish to facebook" option under my "owner only" option.

    I should note that I re-started my browser after "joining" the facebook feature in "darkroom" but still no option to publish to facebook.

    Thanks so much for the help and for this feature.

    Just wanted to say I figured out my problem. What it was, for anyone else having the same problem, I have a custom URL and I did not surf to my URL with a back slash /goodies at the end. That step turned on the "publish to facebook" option in my "share" button.

    Great addition but....
    So it seems to work great if you want to publish a few images here and there, but to publish a whole album I think Facebook only allows 200 photos per album, and I think the tool should tell you that and allow you to upload to multiple albums on FB.. Also it would be nice to see a progress bar when publishing 200 + images... When I select my 1000 images, it says it is going and I have only seen 8 images posted so far.. still waiting for the rest, not wanting to "restart" the next 200 since I know FB only allows 200.

    I get the same message. I tried Chrome, Firefox and Safari on my MacBook Pro, and registered under my custom domain name with each. The Publish to Facebook option appears where it's supposed to, but it keeps reporting back that "You're not the owner of this album". Tried EVERY gallery I have, with same result.

    Note that I do use Lightroom 3x to create and upload most of my galleries, but I get the same result even with the ones created directly within the SmugMug web interface. Also, my custom domain name for SmugMug is a sub-domain of my main domain.

    REAAAAALLY want to use this feature....!

    I, too, had to go into Compatibility Mode in IE9 to get this to work correctly. Before doing that, I would see the options, then they would disappear. They were still there because the mouse pointer would change when you moved the mouse over where they used to be. When I changed the mode, everything worked great.
