another good candidate for the plugins...

This wasn't actually possible until today.

Here is the new documentation for the functionality: http://developers.facebook.com/documentation.php?v=1.0&doc=photoupload

(Also just to note, the target audience for this has expanded past just academics, as Facebook has been open to all for a while, now.)

The Facebook developers have released an iPhoto plugin. One could probably clone it.

There is already a c# implementation in the mono svn tree.  This should ease the development effort.

Commenting on this so I can be added onto the cc: list.

For the record I have a semi-working Facebook plugin using Thomas's library.  I just need to support tagging and making sure an album can contain only 60 pictures.

Soon...

hooks to main code to enable facebook exporter

The above attachments are the glade file for the facebook exporter, the actual exporter module, and a patch to the main code to enable the exporter.  Changes need to made to f-spot.glade so that the exporter is included in the Export menu.

Apologies for the tardiness and incompleteness of this patch.  Real life caught up to me.  The things left to do are to add proper tagging functionality.  The facebook-sharp library also needs to be brought into the build.

I did not include facebook.glade inside of f-spot.glade since the patch would have been to huge to merge.  Besides, the .glade file is loaded into memory when it needs to be.

Thanks for your patch, George.

We'll try to look into it as soon as possible.

Regards,
Thomas

Same code, working as an extension

I reworked George code to work as an Extension. I only made the required changes to made it compiles, load and display the dialog while trying to export.
I didn't reviewed the code not tested the export (I don't have any facebook account).
To have it working, you need f-spot r3103. I also (for now) bundled both Mono.Facebook.dll and gnome-keyring-sharp.dll in the archive...

First:
I required some changes to be done to facebook-sharp as there were some problems with getting user information (it might have worked for other users though); these are fixed in svn now, so the facebook sharp dll needs updating

Second:
The ui isn't as good as i expected.  After i had logged in to facebook the "add" button never became active; and i'd rather see an ok button.  The caption box is too big, as is the "in this photo entry".  

More testing soon.

Hi I'd love to test this out and even try and look at some of the code.  Sorry for being a bit of a newb to thisbut I can't seem to get the diff added.  I've installed from the svn (f-spot reports version .40), I made a .diff file from the RAW output on the site and put it in the src folder and used the command from the site patch -p0 < facebook.diff 
and this happens

I succeeded to make the last attachment to work. But the glade file had some mistakes I had to fix. It is still very unstable. But it works. Is there still someone working on it? I see the last dates are very old. Is there a possibility to put it on a SVN somewhere? Also, there is no copyright notice (except the name of the holder).

This sounds like a nice feature :)

David - perhaps you could attach a revised to help out anyone wanting to test this code?

Extension working with r3411

Call me Valentin :P. Here it is.

* FacebookExport.addin.xml: Fix version of the core in the addin dependencies (to 0.4.0.3366).
* FacebookExport.cs: Fix name of the glade module when getting the interface for the "tag popup". Fix array out of bound access (happening while clicking randomly in the list of images).
* facebook.glade: Fixing some mismatching identifier with the source code. Set sensitivity of "add" button to true.
* Mono.Facebook.dll: Updating to last version.

This is an great extension! But is the tagging supposed to work? If not, is this something that will come?

Thanks for the great work! :)

committed in r3462, available for download on addins.f-spot.org

Should this appear in the list of available extensions if I'm using 0.4.0?

> Should this appear in the list of available extensions if I'm using 0.4.0?

Yes it should. It's not yet available online, tough.

Reading from manifest, it requires r3457. I'm not sure you will be able to use it on 0.4.0.


Trivial note for packager: _label should be "Facebook" only, since recent export menu redesign. And an accelerator would be fine (not F since there's already Flickr and Folder).
