#1 Re: Backlight Support » Album has no images » 2016-09-27 02:35:50

Fixed It !!  I double checked everything and it all seemed fine.  so I went back to square one.  I reinstalled a new copy of backlight on my server, set it up,  changed the publisher setting to point to the new install, published a  test album, and voila.  IT WORKED AS EXPECTED.
Thanks everyone for the help.
Cheers....

Ok... It makes sense that I can use my raw files and Backlight publishes them as jpegs with my Lightroom modifications. 

I looked at my directory structures and I think everything appears to be in order. There are jpegs in the photos subdirectory.  (hostname/galleries/album-name/photos).

I followed Matt's "getting started" video, step by step.   It really is pretty easy and straight forward. 
  1) I created a new album in the TTG Publisher services.  Named the album in the setup screen.   
  2) I drag a couple of images into the newly created album.
  3) I clicked on the publish button.  Lightroom does it's thing and it shows me the photos as published.
  4) I go to my website, click on galleries and the new album shows up.  BUT when I click on the album image to open the album the screen
     changes, but the images in the album do NOT appear.

Admint... thanks for the reply.   All my travel photography is always in RAW.  I assumed that when I create an album in Backlight, that Backlight would take my lightroom adjustments, apply them, and then publish the files as small jpegs.  This appears to be the case, because when I look at the directory structure that backlight creates, all my published files are in a folder called, "hostname/galleries/album-name/photos"  and they are all ~250k jpegs.

Also,  I did publish 2 additional albums with just small jpegs, just in case.  The slug name does appear in the setup screen. I just published a new album, double checking all the settings in the album setup screen.  Everything appears to be OK,  but once again, the album appears, but no photos appear after clicking on the album.

I just installed and started using backlight & pages.  Seems pretty easy and straight forward.  So I published a test album. The album appears but no images appear when I click on the album.  So I published a second album with the defaults.... same result.  So I published a third album using small jpegs.  (first two albums were big raw files)  No difference.
