AS 2017 Calendar

[pshome]

Update 2: "traditional" ordering finished, you can still try your luck with the ALDI software.

Update, check here: http://autoshite.com/topic/26945-as-2017-calendar-ordering/?p=1146540 if you prefer to order your calendar the "traditional" way. Thanks to Eddie for taking care of this.

All images came in or I was able to “push†them with Photoshop to acceptable quality.

This year’s AS calendar printing and delivery is “self-serviceâ€.

 

To get your 2017 Autoshite calendar just follow the instructions, this will work on PC or Mac only!

• Download the calendar project file: http://altefranzosen.de/uploads/AS_Calendar_2017_V2.cpr

  This is a 39MB File, not what you want to download into your smartphone where it would sit with no use anyway…

• Go to http://www.aldiphotos.co.uk/
• Download, install and run the “Free ordering softwareâ€.
• Select “Open Project†from the main menu and load the calendar project file into the application.
• Woohoo! The calendar is in your screen!
• Click the “Order now†button.
• Do not select “Automatic image optimizationâ€, the images are already optimized.
• Voucher Code “CALENDAR17†is good for a £3 rebate giving you this quality shite product for as little as £8.58 including shipping.

Continental shiters can load the project file into the local versions of the Aldi software and order from their countries service.

Is it best we wait ordering until you've sorted Alcyones photo?

Grrrrrr who wrote this ALDI app? Fascists.

Grrrrrr who wrote this ALDI app? Fascists.

Updated! http://altefranzosen.de/uploads/AS_Calendar_2017_V2.cpr

[panhard65]

Well that was fun ! after a lot of hassle I have managed to order one. Thanks for putting this together for us and only 1 Tagora !

[chaseracer]

Grrrrrr who wrote this ALDI app? Fascists.

 

Won't open on Mac/Safari.

[For Fiats Sake]

It don't like chrome or papyal either.

 

Like the calendar though, will try another day when brain is fresh(er).

[castros_bro]

Yo Mods.

 

Would you pin this at the top for a week so it don't get lost in the background noise?  Bitte

[AMC Rebel]

Love the calendar but got seriously hacked off with ALDi and their hopeless app and demands to know my entire life story just to order a few pics - anyone know if the file will work on any other provider sites?

[trigger]

Without sounding like a dick or trying to upset you Peter but is there any other company we can use as i can't get on with this ordering process?

[M'coli]

Won't open on Mac/Safari.

Ooh! Get you and your posh gear!

[pshome]

Without sounding like a dick or trying to upset you Peter but is there any other company we can use as i can't get on with this ordering process?

 

Is it that dreadful  "Insufficient Tagora content" error you get, or does it say "Error loading AS file: posh computer, can't be a shiter" ?

 

Well, jokes apart, if you could be a bit more specific, i am confident the combined IT knowledge of the shite communitiy will come to your help.

 

Aldi is the only service i found that has the option to im/export a project.  If there is another service around that has that feature, i will be more than happy to provide a file for that.

[Six-cylinder]

I fell at the first hurdle!

 

I am much better with a cheque and a SAE.

 

Update - I have got no further in round 2.

[pshome]

You cannot open that .cpr file directly.

Download the .cpr file to your drive, Try to right click on the link and select "Save as"..

Then start the ALDI program.  Select “Open Project†from the main menu , find the cpr file on your drive and and load it into the ALDI application.

[pickup57]

@six-cylinder: I know what you mean, tried the same a dozen times in vain as I´m bloody stupid for all those IT-things.

 

You need not OPEN this file. Just leave it in your download or on the desktop to copy it in the "open projekt" on the ALDIphoto-Website.

 

Believe me, it works, and  -by the way- what´s shite, ääh life without any challenge ?

 

Made this procedure on Tuesday, just reached a message from Dr. ALDI: "SHITEman delivers tomorrow..."

[beko1987]

I'll do a step by step, bear with, 126mb into the 299mb aldi photos app download

 

Someone might have to order one for Bucketeer, I doubt his phone would cope...

[beko1987]

I'll see if I can put a how to guide together, too skint to order one until payday though.

 

I'm using windows 7 64 bit...

 

1 - Download teh .cpr file

 

 

2 - Find teh software

 

 

 

300mb! fark

 

 

Some time later (god our work wifi is shite)

 

 

Run

 

 

Next

 

 

install

 

 

Aha. Untick the bottom 2 and click finish

 

 

Meh, whatever, OK

 

 

FFS, Update now

 

 

Woohoo

 

 

Right, open project

 

 

Find the .cpr file

 

 

Whatever, OK

 

 

Aha, hello Emma!

 

 

At the bottom, go to 'Go to Basket'

 

 

Then ORDER NOW at the bottom

 

 

Aha, untick this box, then click contnue

 

 

Then register

 

 

 

Enter moar details

 

 

Then click next. Ooooh you can swap a Maestro for a calendar

 

 

I hit paypal, got presented with this screen

 

 

and upon clicking that button got paypal fired up in the browser, but upon confirming my payment method in the usual paypal way, I get this

 

 

So I hit back, and chose Credit Card, where this screen comes up

 

 

And that's as far as I;m going now as I have no wherewithall to pay for a calendar, so will log back in on payday and do it.

 

Hope this helps though

[Asimo]

That was a struggle but got there in there in the end. Thanks for all the work to set this up.

 

But Aldi's software is toss, like a 1996 web page, and 350Mb of download? That is ridiculous.

[davidfowler2000]

I got the same error with PayPal.

 

That ALDI software doesn't inspire confidence when inputting card details.

[panhard65]

I got the same error with PayPal.

 

That ALDI software doesn't inspire confidence when inputting card details.

When I ordered mine I had the paypal error but it doesn't charge the paypal account until you finish the order then it goes through. So far they have only charged me the once.

Thanks for that guide Sam, it's most helpful but i'm really hating this whole ordering process, It's taken me nearly a hour so far and now it's all crashed after registering my details. Surely there must be a better way of doing this or no one else is going to bother ordering any?

[beko1987]

It does seem very long winded, although I can see the reasoning behind it, no one needs to gather orders or buy 60 at once then post them out, I remember Billy grumbling about that a few years ago.

 

A .cps file is very specialized though, I've tried a fair few bits of software to open it and can find none. Google has not much info on them either

[Eddie Honda]

Surely there must be a better way of doing this or no one else is going to bother ordering any?

Tell you all what. How about I take the job on?

 

Put your name down on an old-fashioned list? I'll go off and work out the price of envelopes and stamps in the meantime.

 

Get them names down by close of play on the 26th Jan.

[davidfowler2000]

I was going to suggest something similar for next year. Loxley Colour in Cumbernauld are a proper print house and you can do stuff using their software (like ALDI but much more better) but I'm sure can also walk in to the showroom with a flash drive for stuff to print. I dare say if we asked them they could take the list of names and deal with the shipping. They also do multiple types of calendars which might appeal to some folk. Here's their price list.

[Six-cylinder]

Sorry too much for me, I have tried again and have given up.

 

Now it is kittens calender for me or what ever is left for sale at half price!

[trigger]

Thank you Eddie! I was just having a play on Vistaprint, I made a calendar up and but comes up as £12.74 with delivery which is too expensive, It does get cheaper if you bulk order though.
