Photo Printing From Gallery2 In Uk

[sylvest]

I've just installed Gallery2 to host all the photos from my daughter's wedding. It works great, but I'm disappointed that there doesn't seem to be a UK-based photo printing service integrated into it.

• Does anyone know of a UK photo printing service that works with Gallery?
  
• Has anyone tried any of the services which are integrated (PhotoAccess, Shutterfly and FotoKasten) from the UK? If so, how would you rate the price, quality, speed of delivery?
  
• When I tried PhotoAccess and Shutterfly, both of them gave me error messages. Has anyone had the same issue, or know how to fix it?
  
• Is any other TCH user interested in a UK based photo printing service (such as KodakGallery) from Gallery2?
  

Many thanks - Rowan

Have you checked the user contributions over at the Gallery 2 website? There is one from Germany for sure. Don't know about the UK specifically.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, there is a module for pixaco.de. I will investigate this. And some of the US ones may be prepared to mail to UK. I thought I would investigate UK print services first since that ought to be cheape and quicker - and possibly investigate producing a module to interface to a UK service if it looks within my capabilities...

Hello Sylvest,

 

Congratulations on your daughters wedding, I know the problems of having lots of photos to print afterwards!

 

I eventually put the ones I wanted onto a CD and took it to my local Asda's who where happy to print them all off and I must admit I very well done.

I was hoping for something better than this, since I'm hoping that lots of the people who took photos at the wedding and who live all over the country (and some overseas) will upload their photos to the site. Then when people want to print a selection of photos, they could just add the ones they want to their cart, click "Print with KodakGallery" or similar, fill in their details on PhotoGallery's site (or use their existing account if they've got one) and click Go, with all the transmission of full sized images from my site on TCH to Kodakgallery handled invisibly and automatically. This would be so much less hassle than downloading lots of 2Mbyte files and blowing them onto a CDROM.

 

I'm still searching for a way of doing this!

Hello Rowan,

 

I have to admit to not knowing a way. My suggestion would be to look at things like bonus print who offer a free album online where people can upload pictures and also have them printed off.

 

I realise that this means you do not have a final copy, but I am unable to come up with a solution for gallery, sorry.

 

Edit - I have found this link, worth a shot... h**p://gallery.menalto.com/node/7961
