I am sure that there is a setting I am missing, but I can't find it so I figured I would ask the wider audience.

What is happening is that when I select an image in Lightroom and select show on SmugMug the URL that is generated and sent to the default browser starts "bradfordbenn.smugmug.com" I would rather have it start as "photos.bradfordbenn.com" as when I continue working in SmugMug and get the share links they continue to start with bradfordbenn.

So to help with the process here are the steps I am doing and my computer info:
  • iMac running Lion 10.7.4
  • Lightroom 4.1 64 Bit release version, SmugMug Publish Plugin 1.0.4.8
  1. Go out shoot pictures
  2. Import all my photos into LR
  3. Process them as needed, typically just lens correction, keywording, tagging... etc
  4. Place into the galleries and publish
  5. In the library module right click on a category or a gallery and select "Show on SmugMug..."
  6. The resultant URL sent to the browser starts with bradfordbenn.smugmug.com

When I have talked with others about this flow there are a few common questions - which I agree with.
  • Why not just do the searching and finding on SmugMug so the path is already right?
    I find that the search tools on LR are better and faster for zeroing on the image I want, and no waiting for the Internet.
  • Why not just change it to photos.bradfordbenn.com?
    Just ease of use so I don't forget.
  • Does it really make a difference?
    The big reason is that SmugMug.com is blocked by the proxy server at the office but bradfordbenn.com is whitelisted. So when sharing with the office if I forget some people confused.

It is more just an annoyance not a stopper. I figured it was just a setting I was missing which is why I am asking.

Is there a setting to make the URL that is generated start with the custom domain?

Thanks.

    Brad,

    This is most likely an issue on our cloud upload cluster returning smugmug.com urls instead of custom ones. I'll take a look when I get a chance.

    Now that I have my head above water, sort of, tradeshow to launching new server and new website at work. PLus I have some shopping to do, it does work. I think I need to hit the republish button a few times.
