How to post from HP's photo pages.

[Buckeye Riveter]

See the last post. It didn't work except for the people that post the photo to HP Photo.

[Big_Boy_4005]

I always said that it was possible, thanks for figuring it all out Buckeye. It sounds like the critical step missing was the properties part of your instructions. I look forward to seeing even more photos posted here.[tup][tup][swg]

You da man, Buck! Thanks from all us HPPhoto users!

This is interesting...the photo displayed properly YESTERDAY, both in the preview and the actual post. For now, I'm going back to photoisland...

Jim, Below is the coding from a photo that is on HP's Photo Pages

http://www.cartogra.com/sessions/07888799281/36162659lg.jpg

The above coding must go between the CTT's img brackets to work correctly. Copy my coding above and put it between the brakets. You should have the same photo as I have below.

And here is the photo.

Hi Guys,
I hope it's just me and my old home box, but I am seeing alot of red X.

I will double check when I at work on Monday.

PhotoIsland seems a bit easier than HP

PI has a desktop photo-loader that allows you to Drag and Drop your photos from your files without going into the website. However, to create a URL to the photo you must be on the website and have the photo selected.

Guys--

Thanks a million! Ran across this string by accident. I have been trying to post a couple of old proto photos on the MR website in one of the strings for a couple of weeks with no success until now. Photo Island worked much better than HP photo.

[prewardude]

I'm seeing red Xs, too. I'm curious - has ANYBODY actually posted photos succesfully from the HP site? It sounds to me like HP doesn't allow "hotlinking" from that sight. I know that Yahoo! does this in order to keep bandwidth costs under control. Just curious...

[spankybird]

OK guys,
This is just too weird. You must be playing with me. Buckeye, I am seeing the ugly red X on both my home box and also at work.

Now the funny thing is one time last night I did see your posting on the Sunday pics, but I noticed that you were also on line. I wonder if it only post them when your on line???[?]

Is it tied to you and your pass word??

I can see everything perfectly when I am logged on or logged off of the forum at home. I'll try at work.

[Buckeye Riveter]

I'm at work and all I am seeing are red X's. I am using Windows NT at work and I am using Windows XP at home with a cable connection.

More [?][?][?][?][?][?][?][?][?][?] than answers.

When I'm logged on at home I can see the photos, which may mean that the HP photo site or the operating systems make the difference. My computer at home is telling HP to release the site for viewing. Has anyone used HP for an auction?

[Big_Boy_4005]

That was what I was afraid of guys, back to the old drawing board. THIS WILL BE SOLVED!!![banghead][banghead][banghead][%-)][swg]

Hi Buckeye,

And the story thickens. Buckeye, when you are log on to your HP site, we all can see your pic.

I got it, you can never log off the HP site.

From HP photo site:
What kind of security do you have for my photos?
You select who can initially view your photos by inviting family and friends to your album. Please note that persons you invite to view will be able to forward that information to others without your permission. We suggest you send invitations to trusted sources only.

[?][?][?][?]
Somehow I need to tell HP that CTT has permission to look at my photos, but who is CTT? Is Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) securtiy stoping the chain effect between web pages because it is deeming it unsafe [?][?][?][?][?][?]

[Anonymous]

The answer is: Use photoisland for this forum. I"ve spent many hours trying to figure out how to post from HPphoto with little success. Perhaps it can be done but the method escapes me.

[Buckeye Riveter]

Spankybird,

Click on this URL and tell me what you see and what you don't see. You should see two different photos.

http://www.gahannawedding.com/Video/hp_photo_test_page.htm

I think you will see the first, but not the second.

Thanks

[spankybird]

Hi buckeye,

I see Photo 1 (table under constuction) and Photo 2 is that darn red X

[Buckeye Riveter]

Great! This means that the CTT site is not the problem in the least. It is the HP photo site.

What I did was post a page on the web, just a simple web page. Picture two was inserted while HP Photos Web Page was open and I was logged on. The photo showed for me at home. I closed the Photo Web Page, put the url to the simple web page on the CTT site and of course like you, could not see the second photo but a red X appeared. I then opend the simple web page using IE, guess what the second photo appeared as the red X.

I think the CTT forums IMG codes somehow can pull the photo from MY PHOTOS folder for viewing and that is why I thought everything was working great.

Therefore, for HP to work the site has to be opened or be the poster on CTT to see the photo.

[FJ and G]

I have tried and tried to use the HP site but can't get my photos to load. I browse and place the jpg in the window but then can't find the download button.

I emailed the webmaster of HP but he didn't have any suggestions.

I'll post pictures next week or later this week of my construction on my usual tripod website that crashes when 2 or 3 people get on it.

[Jim Duda]

I just downloaded the IMAGE PHOTO UPLOADER from photoisland (about 1 meg) and boy, does it work slick!
Here's a photo used to test it. The jonboat is built from balsa wood...the strakes on the bottom are bare wire CA'd (Crazy Glue) on top of the balsa. Base coat of silver, with the green scratched off to represent typical wear from dragging it up on the shore.

PhotoIsland users will love the uploader!

[Buckeye Riveter]

From what I can tell, HP Photo Shop will not let one post photo to another web site for viewing. The only ones that can see the photos are the ones that have an account with HP Photo Shop, and that is why I could see my photo using the properties mode of the photo. That is why I was having success and I think Jim could see his photos.

We're done here Robin.

[BigJim]

Buckeye,
If that is the case, why is there no problem posting on the OGR Forum???

[ChiefEagles]

Hey guys, all us fishing guys use Shutterfly. Its free and works [now that Spankybird has got me trained right ][swg]. Shutterfly.com

I don't know, why does it work on the OGR Forum?

It doesn't work here and it doesn't work on the test web pages that I made and had Spankybird test the connection. I am guessing but web pages can be written in different types of code. Some are compatible with HP and some are not. My test web page was constructed using Front Page and the HP linked photos would not show, but the test photo stored with the web page opened imediately (no red X).

Another example of differences: Front Page will let one construct a web page with embedded video, but some web hostings do not have that feature unless you pay extra.

[Big_Boy_4005]

It might be time to ask Bergie, the webmaster here. That is very strange that they would work in one forum and not the other. There must be something different between the two, the question is WHAT. I wish I could be more helpful, sorry.

[BigJim]

Until CTT gets this fixed, this forum is just an also-ran. There has to be some kind of standard between these things.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON why any of us should have to have ten different programs to post pictures on ten different forums. One program, whether it be HP, Photoisland or whatever, should work on all!

[Jim Duda]

Has anyone ever used a forum that allowed you to simply drag and drop a .jpg file from your computer directly into the post? Or is this technically unrealistic? It would have to have the intelligence of resizing a large file to meet the maximum file size imposed by the Webmaster, I suppose...

Or, allow "attachments" similar to the way e-mail clients work...?

Hi Jim,

The first time I post a photo here, that is exactly what I did. I did the preview and it all looked great at home, but no one else could see it. I then started my web page and up-loaded the photo’s to it.

Unless you have a two way form of communications, this can’t happen. As I understand it, the form need to pull the picture from a HOST site. I think it requires the site to have public viewing, like a web page.

There is a way to post HPphoto on this site, I just have not found it yet. [banghead]

If you look at your profile photo, it is from HPphoto. Why does it post it there and not on the rest of the form[?][?].

Like I say, there must be a way. [:-^] If I find out, it won’t cost you more than $18.00 to find out. [(-D] [(-D] [(-D]

Just kidding [:o)]

I have been looking on the HP Photo site and it looks like there is a place on it to store your pics for actions (etc.) Note this is only for 3 months.

QUOTE:
How do I create an auction link with my photo?
When you create a link to an auction site, the photo is placed in a private temporary spot on HP Photo and you get a URL that links to your image. The temporary link remains active for three months, but you can create a new link to your image at any time. Just click on the album where your image is located. Then check the "select" box to the bottom left of your image. Then click on "create link for auction" on the top right under "photo tools."

I have also been looking over on QGR forum [:O] on this same subject and I noticed many concerns as to how long the pics would remain on the forum. My best guess is 3 months. [B)]

This may not be the best place to host your pics for the forum. There goes my 18 bucks, darn.
