Cover Image

For the life of me, I can not figure out how to display my cover photo in my albums. I am using the Lightroom plugin to create my galleries - I see where I can set my cover photo. I can also see where I can set it or change it in the Publisher section in BL2 Admin., but it never shows up for me in my published gallery. What am I missing? Is there something in the album templates I have to activate? I have looked, but can not find anything :(

In lightroom I only have an option of Random or Custom in the album settings for the cover photo. I have been setting it by right clicking on the image in LR and selecting "use as cover". Then in the LR album setting choose custom. Nothing shows up when published. I also tried assigning the img_# in BL2 of the image for the cover photo I selected in LR.

Re: Cover Image

Where are you expecting to see the cover photo show up?

They are supposed to appear in album sets to represent the albums or other sets appearing in the album set.

Re: Cover Image

Oh I see. In CE4 Gallery you could select a cover photo for a single gallery. You can not do that in BL2?
You could have it span a certain width above your thumbnails.
