#1 Re: Backlight 2 Customization » PHPlugin BL1 needs update to BL 3 » 2020-06-12 00:37:47

OK... what I have done wasn't based on deep knowledge... but it works, thank you @Matt and @Rod.

My initial mistake was not to realize, that I had overpasted the new phplugins-pangolin-sample.php,
because I had copied and pasted the folders "custom" and "data" completely from the BL1 site.

Is there anything else in these 2 folders, that should be used from Backlight3 ?
(excluding my design from BL 1... that I have happily transferred)

So far I am happy that I managed to jump from BL1 to BL3

Years ago I luckily recieved this Plugin - unfortunatly I don`t know PHP

This phplugin works with BL1 but not BL3
It enables the selected menu-item to hold its color as long pages in that menu are selected.

On BL1 this PHPlugin works perfectly as can be seen here:
http://www.beautybobby.de/nature/

On BL3 the same PHPlugin does not work as can be seen here:
http://www.bobbyboe.com/nature/

Can anybody help me? What needs to be changed in the code?

Thank you Rod, that worked so far.
Only the phplugin that I had recieved from Ben in 2017 for BL1 doesn`t work anymore.

This is the phplugin (that works with BL1 but not BL3):

Ah... I understand a little more now, thank you. Yes I have already created more publisher in Lightroom... I dont need one going to 2 sites.

The BL3 Site was empty - standard when I updated.
following the information of your link I will no substitute backlight/custom and backlight/data... If I understand right, this should bring my custom design from the BL1 site to the new BL3-site

#5 Re: Backlight 3 Support » Transfer Website from Backlight1 -> Backlight3 » 2020-06-07 03:52:51

Well... I wanted to duplicate because I did`t want to risc loosing a perfect site.
So I duplicated all files... uddated to BL3... but after this the site has lost all pages, settings and templates.

following the information of your link I will no substitute backlight/custom and backlight/data... If I understand right, this should bring my custom design to the new BL3-site

Actually the fact of a limit of only one domaine controllable from Lightroom was new for me... if this is really like this, this is very bad for me.

I would like to duplicate a website which was build with Backlight-1 to the new Backlight-3

Is there a way to copy certain files from folder site1 to folder site2?
Pages are made from pangolin templates.
