As my wife would say, "look with your eyes, not with your mouth".  Ok, I found the instructions for using the add-on modules, Theater, Galleria, etc.  Thanks again

Rod, Ben, Thanks.  Problem solved.  I went thru and edited each album and album set again as well as selected a cover pic for each and that worked.  Previously I had edited each album and albium set at least twice with no effect, however, then, after I did that, I published the album again.  This time I did not publish anything, though not sure why that would have had any negative impact.

I did purchase the Theater module (as well as Galleria and WP Theme) and can see it listed and installed under Backlight Modules.  However, after going thru Designer and Publisher I see no way to use these modules.  What should I be looking for and where because I certainly want to use Theater to post videos.  Thanks

Update:  While I am now able to "publish" albums and album sets via lightroom not all the photos are being displayed on the website.  All the photos are in fact uploaded to the galleries folder on the server (Bluehost) under Public_html.  If you go to my website,  http://www.markandmichellegallery.com, and click on galleries, you will see 5 album sets.  They all have several albums associated with them but only "Family and Friends" and "Troubleshooting" display the albums and photos in the albums when clicked.  The others are blank, but again the photos are uploaded on the server.  Also, please note the lack of thumbnails for each album set web on the Gallery page.  Finally, for now, is there a way to insert one large image on a page, like the home page?  Thanks

Problem appears to be solved.  I noted when I attempted to edit each Published Collection or Published Collection Set within my Lightroom TTG Publisher I got the same error message I was getting when I attempted to publish these collections.  See the screenshot:

Screen-Shot-2019-07-21-at-7.56.08-PM.jpg

After clicking OK on error message then clicking Edit for each album and album set the error no longer appeared and I was able to publish the albums.  I have no idea what clicking Edit did, or what it does, because there are no subsequent windows or messages that pop up but seems to have solved this problem.

Rod, Thanks again.  Not sure who Ben is nor his contact info.  I sent you the info you suggested in your last post to rod@barbeephoto.com.  Please feel free to forward to Ben.  Thanks

Thanks Rod.

I am using theTTG Lightroom plug-in downloaded from the Modules page.  I removed the old plugin I was using (not sure of the version) and added the downloaded version.

This started as an upgrade to Backlight 1 but after experiencing several issues installing Backlight 2, in the ned I removed ALL files from under "public_html" (using Bluehost) and uploaded the installer files there.

Not sure if the albums have old Okapi templates assigned or not.  Under Backlight 2, they are all default.  Is there a way to check this?.  In any case, I have "installed" ALL Modules provided with Backlight 2 including Okapi Web Modules and Backlight 2 Add-ons; Galleria, Theater and WP Theme

Appreciate any further suggestions?  I don't see a means to attach files to this forum, other wise I could provide requested files/screenshots to assist troubleshooting.  Im sure its something simple - it usually is.  Thanks

I have just installed Backlight 2 and I am attempting to publish several album sets and albums.  Upon clicking publish I get the following from Lightroom:

Can’t update this collection.
Unable to perform action: getSetupForTemplate
Message: The album could not be found for id 54970.  Please edit this album and try again.

In LR plugin manager there are 5 diagnostic messages:

I have tried to "edit the album" but see nothing to fix.

I have reloaded the plugin but get the same result.

Here is link to my website (very much a work in progress).
http://www.markandmichellegallery.com/galleries/

As you can see one album set "Family and Friends" has started to load, but that's as far as it gets

Suggestions??  Thanks

I received an e-mail from "send Owl" with the following link for a Backlight update.  Just want to confirm this is legit.

Thanks all.  I will check it out

#11 Re: Backlight Support » Copy Area Fonts » 2016-11-02 07:40:36

Thanks Rod.  So if I were to create a CSS file and upload it where you indicate, that would make the changes you show above.  I assume one CSS file could have several edits affecting several areas of the site?  Where can I go to get a quick tutorial on writing code such as this?  Im not wanting to become a code geek, just enough to change/edit some of the basic stuff, like font sizes

#12 Re: Backlight Support » Copy Area Fonts » 2016-11-02 07:04:14

Thanks.  I made some tweaks to the base font but did not see significant change in font size, say between 500 and 900.  What is custom CSS?  I see under "Advanced Customization" a section called "Custom Stylesheets".  If that's it and I enable it, I see I can include one of three files, but what do I do from there?

Using this page link to my site as a reference how would l change the the font and font size of the text in the Copy Area of the page?

That is the line below the Navigation bar where it says: "Galleries > Land scares and Cityscapes > Hawaii Sunsets"  And what is this line called by the way?

And then in the Page copy which says: "Sunsets and sunrises are awesome in Hawaii. Most shots were taken from Hospital Point, on Pearl Harbor Naval Station"

http://www.markandmichellegallery.com/g … i-sunsets/

Seems there a re a lot of easy to use tools to make most other edits, but could find how to make these changes.  Thanks

#14 Re: Backlight Support » Theater on mobile devices? » 2016-11-01 15:56:07

Well that was it.  Blindly following the installation instructions, it has you enable the "Hide from Album Set" and "Hide from Search" features in LR Publisher.  I did not understand the impact of that.  Thank You

#15 Re: Backlight Support » Theater on mobile devices? » 2016-11-01 11:15:59

Sorry for the poor wording.  Last entry should read.  Its gone again.  Clearing the cache worked for a while, but album disappeared again.  It seems to stay up for a few minutes, but upon reloading the page or clearing the browser, it disappears

#16 Re: Backlight Support » Theater on mobile devices? » 2016-11-01 10:47:35

Its got again.  Clearing the cache worked for a while, but album is now for again.  Other thoughts?

#17 Re: Backlight Support » Theater on mobile devices? » 2016-11-01 10:22:31

clearing the cache seems to have brought back the album to my desk top but still not on my iPhone

#18 Re: Backlight Support » Theater on mobile devices? » 2016-11-01 10:19:09

When I check the server all the files appear top be in the right place, the photos anyway

#19 Re: Backlight Support » Theater on mobile devices? » 2016-11-01 10:16:22

Now its not appearing at all after republishing again

#20 Re: Backlight Support » Theater on mobile devices? » 2016-11-01 10:09:43

well that seems to be another problem.  I have had to publish that album twice and now it seems to have gone away again.  I'll republish

I see where you can edit the "Main Copy" on the Home page.  I can not find a similar way to edit the Main Copy on My Galleries page.  In fact when you go to Designer > Pages there is not a "Galleries" page listed.  There is Home, About and Contact.

Got it.  Thanks.  Not sure how I missed that.

Is there a way to change the file size of the images and thumbnails loaded into galleries via Lightroom's publisher or Backlight settings?

#25 Re: Backlight Support » Thumbnails and Album Sets » 2016-10-27 09:33:27

I changed the number of columns to 2.  It changed on my gallery page but not the home page.  I changed the style as well.  Looks ok on home page, but prefer the Descriptive style I had earlier of the galleries page.  Is these a way to have different styles on different pages?  Thanks
