How Do I Order A Photo Book from Ofoto?

[Hoyt Martin]

I'm trying to figure out how to order a Photo Book from Elements 3. I can create a book just fine, but when I get to the Share screen, the Order On-line button is grayed out.
Anybody know how to make it so I can order a book and take advantage of that 25% off offer that was in the box?

I tried to do this. I got an error message saying that books can't be ordered online from within PE3. I have no clue why not though :?

Have you tried going to Ofoto direct?

in Organizer preferences>services>be sure 'adobe ofoto service' is checked and not 'adobe preferred' ...something like that.

Under preferences / services / location , Canada isn't one of the selection :x

Jodi,

I did this (and selected the correct location) but still got the same problem. When I get to Step 5 (Share), Order Online is greyed out.

Then:
If I select Share from the toolbar menu a window comes up saying "There is currently no service available in your location to share". :cry:

But, if I select Order, a window comes up saying "This creation cannoy be ordered online..." :? :cry: :?:

Prints work Ok, it's just photo books..

Mike, I'm sorry, i wish I could help you further...I'm still runnin the beta version so this never worked here to begin with. I am suppose to get my actual shelf version from Adobe within the next couple of weeks so maybe i can be of further assistance. My beta version has 'refresh' buttons in the preference>services...do you have that ? Try it.

Jodi,

It's OK, I don't need to order a photo book right now, so it's not urgent - but it would be good to get it working sometime. I guess I can always do it direct with someone like Ofoto if need be. I'll have a play later and let you know if I get round it (supposed to be working today!!)

Hoyt:
You need to get the latest set of Photo Book templates from Adobe.

In the Organizer, go to Edit->Preferences->Services and click on the Update Creations button.

Then, when picking a template in the Creations Wizard, look for one with the big yellow Order On-line circle.

After creating your book, the Order On-line button will be enabled on the Share page of the Wizard.

Also, be sure to set your location correctly in the Services Preferences window. Photo Books only seem to be avaialble in the US.
