I just updated extension:411 with a new version 2.1e to fix the bug that forced the user to open screen [Administration > Photos > Add] at least once before using the Shotwell plugin.

guillaumev, can you please create a new topic dedicated to the Shotwell plugin, in the Beta testing section of the forum, please? (I will start to communicate a bit more about this export plugin then)

Hello !

Kudos to guillaumevfor this patch.

I just compile svn trunk of shotwell  and apply the patch and it worked great !

results here : http://memeteau.com/photos/index.php?/category/36

A most of the shared host are usually limiting php upload to 2M(mine @toile-libre.org is 100M ! ) , it's true that the SimpleAdd will not be sufficient in most cases but it's great for now !!

So just get the SVN or stable of shotwell and add the ppa of yorba for the needed dev librairies (see http://yorba.org/shotwell/install/)

then get the Patch from Gitbub and apply hit on the root dir of the shotwell sources.

Recompile and install and that's it !

Hi,

Ok so I'm now able to upload photos to Piwigo using Shotwell !

The code can be found here, and needs testing (obviously): https://github.com/guillaumev/piwigoshotwell I'll email the shotwell mailing list and will let you know.

Cheers.

Just to give an update on this, I'm now able to authenticate, get the list of categories and create a new category using shotwell.

Great news! Thank you for notifying the forum.

I'm now working on splitting the image into chunks and sending it to Piwigo using pwg.images.addChunk and pwg.images.add, which looks like is going to be the most complex part of it.

Just don't implement pwg.images.add in your first draft of the Shotwell plugin. Use pwg.images.addSimple instead. It is much simpler. You have to install extension:411 and read [wiki] pwg.images.addSimple. pwg.images.addSimple will become a standard method in Piwigo 2.2.

Don't hesitate to ask many questions, I'm here to make your life simpler as a contributor :-)

The authentication token was added in the pwg.session.getStatus method for future version 2.1.4, see [Bugtracker] feature 1756 but you don't need it for photo upload.

If you look at the Perl example given on [wiki] pwg.images.addSimple documentation, the web browser agent is able to store a cookie:

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->cookie_jar({});

and that is enough to tell Piwigo that the next HTTP request will be authentified at Piwigo level.

Thanks ! I will do a few tests on my side and, whenever I get an alpha version, that more or less works, will ask to own the feature request and publish my code.

I will keep you updated.

Hi,

I would be interested to help on this. Can someone give me updates on the status of this ? Has it been started ? Is there any code that's been published in a repository ?

Thanks.
