Hi Ben, Thanks a mill for such a quick reply! That is starting to make more sense now so I'll have another go and see how I get on and if I can get it working! Do I need to create the photos-for-purchase folder or should Publisher do that itself?
Will I run into problems in the future if I have images with the same image number as created by the camera (I take so many photos the numbers will repeat but I normally can identify them manually by date and then image number)? - if so do you know if there is a way I can avoid this?
Thanks again, Aisling.
Hi, I'm in the process of trying to set up a new website using CE4 web publishing bundle and Cart (on BlueHost as recommended) and I've got stuck trying to set up the Publisher part for digital downloads. I need to be able to sell low res images (suitable for Facebook) and also high res images. I think I understand the pricing scheme part but am stuck with the publisher part! I understand that Publisher will only create one set and I'll have to upoad the other manually. I cover equestrian events so generally sell more low res than high res images. Can I set up Publisher that it automatically creates and publishes the low res images to my site and then manually upload the high res as they are purchased? I am asking because my broadband is very slow and I'm concerned about how long the upload will take as I need to get them up asap after an event. I also don't know much about how storing large volumes of high res images on the server may affect it! On average I would upload about 800 images after a one-day event.
After reading the documentation and links about this I'm also a bit confused about setting up the folders on the server for these images. What is the difference between 'photos-for-upload' and 'photos-for-purchase'? If using Publisher does that automatically create one folder and I create the other (for the manual uploads) or do I need to create two folders to begin?
Regards,
Aisling.
Hi Matthew,
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply - much appreciated! I understand that it is next to impossible to please everyone all of the time, especially with a big company (however I have only read positive things about the Turning Gate!!!) so I'm glad that you have confidence in Bluehost as to use a local company was not going to be viable for me financially and I really think your plugins would be much simpler than my current workflow.
Thanks again,
Aisling.
Hi Ben,
Thank you very much for your reply - I really appreciate it. It was just through a Google search for 'Bluehost review' that I came across them. Below is the link to one of them, I don't really know enough to know where to look for genuine reviews!

Hi, I really like the look of the Turning Gate plugins and the idea of being able to update my website from within Lightroom however to switch my current website to this system I will need new web hosting. I understand that TTG recommends Bluehost however I am concerned about signing up with them as I have read so many recent really bad reviews particularly about customer service and uptime. I live on the other side of the Atlantic so I am concerned about the distance and the time difference and also don't want to have to make expensive long distance phone calls if I have a problem. Please can anyone advise me if it is safe to go with BlueHost? - particularly any European users??? I have looked in to more local web hosting services but they are much more expensive and have very limited space (no unlimited / unmetered space and bandwidth). Most local options within my budget only offer about 20GB space and 400GB monthly transfer - would this be enough?
Any advice/ experience appreciated!!
Thanks, Aisling.
