How can I get the link to the digibug module to show in a sidebar or on the photo details page? As it is, in the g3 page, as a pull down link in the photo options tab, no one, even the administrators, can find it.
I have modified my photo.html.php page with the customized link from the digibug module for g2 but it returns an error.

Quote:
<a href="{g->url arg1="view=digibug.DigibugPrintPhotos" arg2="itemId=`$theme.item.id`" arg3="returnUrl=%CURRENT_URL%" useAuthToken=1}">print with digibig</a>

off the page here: http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:digibug

It would be nice if the digibug module could be simply moveed over to the sidebar as are many of the other modules.

I tried the fotomoto module, but their prices and handling charges are out of line (high) with what I want to provide.

thanks

thanks. It is for G3. The module support page takes you to the G2 module page. There is no mention of the digibug module in the G3 modules page even though it is part of the g3 install.

I have never used the module and I'm not 100% sure it even works. Before I muck about can you confirm it works?

Dave. Well the digibug module works. But your question opens a whole 'nother can of worms. I don't want to be the one sending you or other gallery users down the wrong printing road. I did a bit of searching on the web and here in the gallery forums.

Digibug: The good -- The digibug module link takes you to a popup digibug page -- customizable with your logo, pricing, contact info. It is easy to fill out and reasonably fast. Fees are set by you the user and a little above par for the online print industry.

The bad: digibug has a several complaints here on the gallery forums. I just placed a test order and got an email confirmation. I will let you know how that goes. The digibug forum has been flooded by spam -- usually a sign from the neglected www backwaters.

I had been trying the fotomoto module. Really quite good, but this week fotomoto changed the, in their words, "business model" to where it is more of a subscription service rather than a web-based printing service.
In brief:
Free(???): Pay twice as much (increase from 15% to 30%) (following all the clamor, they backed down to 25%) for using Fotomoto, or
Pro: Pay the SAME amount (15%) PLUS a $120/year fee for using Fotomoto, or
Pro-Plus: Pay a slightly lower amount (10%) PLUS A $300/year fee.
If you order a $4 print and $4 shipping the service fee, for "Free" will be $2. Ouch.
It appears fotomoto users are fleeing.
So the the can of worms is gallery3 admins/users have no easy way -- service -- to sell online prints. At least I can't find one.
Am I being naive thinking the gallery team could partner with one of the big online printing services with high customer satisfaction, good pricing and full features: Snapfish, smugmug, shutterfly

As you probably know, the link. http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery3:Modules:digibug , is a blank page.

I have admired your input in the gallery forums and devo. Thanks for looking into this.

Open modules/digibug/helpers/digibug_event.php
add: 

  static function photo_menu($menu, $theme) {
    $item = $theme->item();
    $menu->append(Menu::factory("link")
               ->id("digibug")
               ->label(t("Print with Digibug"))
               ->url(url::site("digibug/print_photo/$item->id?csrf=$theme->csrf"))
			   ->css_id("g-print-digibug-link"));
  }

just before the last closing curly brace:
}

Dave

thanks for taking care of the sidebar tweak. It works well. Unfortunately, After all that Digibug has been down for at (least)a week now.

Just got this email from digibug:

Quote:
Dear Customer,

We regret to announce that after 5 years of service, the Digibug photo service will be shutting down effective immediately. After this day, you will no longer be able to print or upload any photos to the Digibug service.

If you have any outstanding balances owed to you, you will be paid out through the month of January.

Thank you for your continued loyalty to our organization and it had been our pleasure to serve you.

Sincerely,
The Digibug Team

Has the module been removed from the core?
