pshome Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 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.cprThis 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.D: https://www.aldifotos.deCH: http://www.aldi-suisse-photos.ch/A: https://www.hoferfotos.at/home/F: http://www.medionphotos.frNL: http://www.aldifoto.nl Have fun!

For Fiats Sake Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 It don't like chrome or papyal either. Like the calendar though, will try another day when brain is fresh(er). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMC Rebel Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 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?

pshome Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 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 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pshome Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 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. chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickup57 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 @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..." pshome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 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 richardthestag, Conrad D. Conelrad, garethj and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asimo Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 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. beko1987 and Tickman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidfowler2000 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I got the same error with PayPal. That ALDI software doesn't inspire confidence when inputting card details. trigger and beko1987 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panhard65 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Honda Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 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. beko1987, trigger and chaseracer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidfowler2000 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 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. trigger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 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.
