Hi
Ive got a simple Backlight site up for old 1970s slides,
first problem is my gallery page - you can see the URL on the photo: http://ahsn.sintero.org/galleries/theme-litherland/
snapshot here also:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/112 … titles.png
Two things I can't fix -
(1) I'm getting a persistent photo - the one entitled "001-Litherland" in my gallery but this has been manually removed from Lightroom (correctly) and the cache has been cleared - but it just wont go! I can confirm the photo dos not exist now anywhere in lightroom so puzzled.
(2) Secondly Ive forgotten how to toggle the thumbnail Filename titles on this page. Some galleries I want them some not - forgotten how to turn on/off
NEXT
when I drill down to one picture - for example...
http://ahsn.sintero.org/galleries/theme … id=1&pid=2
screenshot:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/112 … le-pic.png
You will see the string " Original stored under 1971-08-01-P004-06: "
I want to remove these tags that are auto-generated - so I went looking in the album templates and found the "Original stored under {Filename}" characters and deleted... I then refreshed, republished, cleared cache, tried different browser.. nothing would accept the change, so the names are still there at the beginning of the caption.
Actually I would still like to say Original stored under {Filename} but at the END of the caption if this was feasible. Otherwise I cannot see where I can make this change actually happen on the live site.
Thanks

Do you have more than one album template? Double check that you're making the changes to the correct album template,

Hi Rod
still not solved
found out that toggle of this metadata setting https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/112 … tadata.png works for one of the album thumbnail titles BUT
***still cannot work out (Ive been through all my settings, all templates in LR and in Backlight) how to remove the prefix "Original stored under {Filename}" - ideally I want to put that at the END of the caption not the beginning - but can't see how to.
AFAIK I'm just using the templates supplied and recommended by Backlight setup method. They are similarly/confusingly named, so cant really see what determines what.
Any tips on how to solve the ***problem would be enough at present.

the screen shot you posted shows the metadata display controls for thumbnails in albums. Is this what you're trying to change?

Are you referring to the captions for the large images?
What exactly do you want to show for the thumbnails? For the large images?
What do you have set for your album template > Image Settings > Photos Caption?

Yes the big pic captions - have understood the thumbnail ones
So, focusing on the text at the beginning of this screenshot:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/112 … le-pic.png
i.e. on this example "Original stored under 1971-08-01-P004-06:"
This obviously comes from some setting and possibly involves a common string with the {filename} tag
I want to find that setting and cut it so I can PASTE it to the END of the caption of the big pictures.
Its just that I want to start with the caption proper and have the hard copy filing reference at the end of the caption. Then I'm done.
Thx

If that field is blank, then how are the captions appearing on your large images??
I think you may be working with the wrong album template because there should be tokens and text in that field

Hi Rod
I have made a movie to show the problem - the template is not working...

Nice video, Ed.
There is a little link for more infos where you entered the tokens. Following this link it says
After changing the metadata settings, you will need to re-publish any affected photos. Publisher provides a setting 'Push metadata without updating existing photos' within the Publisher settings that if selected greatly speeds up re-publishing.
It looks like you didn't republish the images after you changed the token infos. Please take note of the "push metadata..." feature as it will greatly accelerated your publishing times!

Thx Daniel for that tip - it worked - so metadata sorted. Only other problem left is small one of a jpg I cant get rid of - another explanatory video is here ;-)

No idea why this image is still hanging around. I guess there was a glitch at one point of time when you did a gallery update. I would recommend to send Ben an email with your admin credentials so he can remove the file from the database.
