Publish pictures Pibooth

[Alex74300]

Hello

I'm looking for a solution to use photos taken with Pibooth and publish them on my Facebook or Instagram profile or send them to a cloud (online folder) or through a QR code integration. Is there a way to integrate command lines to your program to have this feature via a dedicated GPIO button? Thank you !

Hi Alex,

This is an enhancement that could be good, however I have never used the Facebook API, this this could be quite difficult for me.

Instead of a new GPIO button, if you don't need the print function, we can use the same button.

I've been looking for something similar, but I really have no idea of how to do it .
My idea would be to have one setting to either send or store pictures in a cloud folder (via a account I guess) , so people just have to access this through a link.

Here is some stuff I found on internet that might be a lead:

maybe it can help!

Hi,
im also using pibooth since a couple of days and I'm also working on a solution.

I just want so setup a webserver with a gallery. And configure my raspberry as a wlan access point. So that guests can simply connect to the "photobooth", browse and download their images. And then they can share them however they want via their smartphone.

At the moment I try setting up Lychee to do this. Another solution I will test is PicApport.

Hi @DEhrhardt ,

Thanks for your post, we have imagined the same solution but never succeed.
Have a look to https://github.com/werdeil/pibooth/blob/master/docs/lychee.rst
Maybe we can improve the doc with your feedback.

I have been experimenting with a few things to accomplish this. The following works so far.

1. Take picture(s) with pibooth
2. have python script in crontab that watches folder and sends images with a label added to gmail when new ones are added.
3. Apps script in gmail adds attachments with label to folder in google drive.

So far this is just in testing but has worked for a kids party that generated 46 different final images.

hi all

I got some basic "sharing" by using andreafabrizi's Dropbox-Uploader script.

Basically connected the script to a shared app in dropbox and added a crontab job to upload pibooth images folder every 2 minutes.

You can share the dropbox folder to whoever you want and from there.. it is "their thing" :-)

I'm not a developer and this is not too much, but it is enough to me. Hope it helps
