CE4 versus CE3

Just trying to port over my website to CE4 from CE3 and have hit a wall.
I currently have a gallery on my Home Page and want the same on the CE4 version but using publisher to manage and then my galleries also managed by publisher. Where in pages do I set up the home page Gallery I must be missing something as I am sure it's there but I can't find it!
Sorry if I am being stupid.

Re: CE4 versus CE3

Thanks Rod.
Another question, I am actually trying to replicate my site which was built in CE3 (www.graham-mansfield.com) and on the home page you will see that I have a 1 pixel border with rounded corners. Now it seems that I can replicate that for the block but I can't seem to find anything for the new grid area. Is it possible to replicate it in CE4?

Regards

Graham

Re: CE4 versus CE3

you'll need to use custom css for that. Same with the box-shadows.

Let me know if you want it as I've already done it to my test site

Re: CE4 versus CE3

Yes please Rod I would if you don't mind. Would that also work for the home page Gallery?

Really appreciate your help

Re: CE4 versus CE3

No, it will only work for indexes (this includes the index that is the Galleries page).

The Pages home page gallery can be either Galleria or Full-Screen flip gallery. Rounded corners won't apply.

If you're managing your home page gallery with Publisher, you can choose to use a CE4 Gallery album for that. You can set rounded corners for image thumbnails in CE4 Gallery already.

here's the custom css. adjust radius and shadow to your liking:

/* Add border radius and box shadow for index albums
=========================================================*/
.album-mantle {
    border-radius: 20px;
    box-shadow: 5px 5px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
}
/*fix for bottom-right border radius*/    
    
.album-overlay {
    -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 20px;
    -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 20px;
    border-bottom-left-radius: 20px;
    -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 20px;
    -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 20px;
    border-bottom-right-radius: 20px;
}

Re: CE4 versus CE3

Sorry to bug you again Rod. I always have used Wampserver when building my sites since the first TTG, this makes testing easy and quick. I have created a site using pages and copied the TTG-be alongside the pages however when I try and run it within the Wampserver environment it saying connecting and then I get the error The page isn't redirecting properly! Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. I can happily test run my old CE3 test site within the same environment  without issue. I assume it's something to do with BE but I have configured it as per the tutorials. Wonder if yo can help? Thanks Graham

Re: CE4 versus CE3

did you happen to choose the option in Pages that allows Publisher to replace the home page gallery?
If so, be sure that publisher is installed in ttg-be/
