Client Response Gallery

Hi,

I have two questions:
-  I would like to know if there are new features in CRG with Backlight 3. I'm still thinking to upgrade.
-  Is it possible to show a CRG only to one client via link without the possibility to link back to the top level gallery?

thanks & greets
Josch

Re: Client Response Gallery

The Backlight version of CRG is very similar to the CE4 version as far as features go; I don't think there have been any major additions.
The Legend now appears in a pop-up window triggered by a Gallery Help button.

But beneath the hood, is all the Backlight goodness, not least of which in no longer needing to design in Lightroom and the ability to publish albums without needing Lightroom. Plus Backlight is compatible with the latest version of PHP. CE4 may not be and if your host upgrades the php version its running, your site could go down.

Backlight CRG is an add-on to Backlight, so you would have to purchase both.


It is possible to show a CRG without links back to the top-level gallery. Just disable breadcrumbs and use a page template that doesn't include a menu item that links to your other galleries.

Re: Client Response Gallery

Once you go Backlight, you'll never want to visit that Web Module in Lightroom again. wink

Re: Client Response Gallery

Not sure what you mean. Are you referring to the template presets that Matt provides?

Re: Client Response Gallery

You will need to create one.
Also create a menu set that does not include a link to your Galleries page.
Assign that menu set to the page template.
Assign the page template to your Client Response album template.

See this for more on templates: https://backlight.me/docs/templates

I'm moving this to the Backlight Support forum
