I found the error.. everytime I update a post I check it in preview.. but you also need to update the post regarding to the color changes in BL.

That is what I though also, but they do not show.
These are the settings to view if they appear that way. At least I do not see the colors that way.

Ok thanks Rod, that helps... but then agian I still cannot get the images the size like they are on the demopage..

Edit: I added the columns code and they appear larger.
One last remaining item.. the colors displayed are now like I have done.

The show colors of my website, but not the ones I wish to have.
In Backlight under designer I have set different colors for the template of word press.
What controls the colors and border around the images?

Hi,

I am having some issues getting the grid gallery working like on the example page:http://theturninggate.net/2017/11/29/ne … s-updates/

When I create a gallery inside WP I need to change something in a text editor field and add [gallery]
What I do: I selected the + on the blok -> formatting -> code and add [gallery]
This indeed shows the grid layout but, the thumbnails are very small, and the colors I have set in the designer are not shown. Yes, I have exported the template to WP after changing settings in the theme template.
Also does it show longer then it needs to be (see screenshot)

The above is with [gallery] added, the one below is standard gallery from WP, but does not show the Backlight viewing option.

Anyone who could walk me through?

Cristian

Hi,

I think (there is always room for improvement) my website is (almost) completed.
My old website was build in CE3/4 and with the outcome of BL I started to redesign from scratch.

I must admit... that when I started.. I had head breaking moments.. cursed BL because I had no idea how to create a new website in BL and it was so different from CE3/4 that I almost started to regret the deleting my old CE3/4 website.
Custom .css, custom .php, things I had never ever heard of.

But after trying and trying and reading all the FAN-TAS-TIC documentation available things slowly started to come towards understanding BL. When I finally had BL under control is was just a pleasure to work with!
Reading about css and php possibilities, oh man.. BL did really though me a lot about webdesign.

But.. there is always a but.. I could not done it with the even more FAN-TAS-TIC help of Matthew, Rod and Daniel. You guys just ROCK! The way questions are being answered and the ongoing support in finding solutions is just AWESOME! Thanks guys.

Well time for the website... www.aimhigh.aero

My thoughts behind he website is simpel.. less is more!
I wanted to create a sharp and modern looking website, easy to navigate, easy to read and a pleasure to visit.

If you see any improvements, errors or what so ever... please let me know.. you are the first to (re)view before I make it public.

Regards,
Cristian

Hi,

Is it possible not to show the galleries -> showcase text on a gallery page?
I have set an album under a menu button to directly show the images as a showcase page.
But, I do not want the tekst to appear..

Thanks!

Well, this seems to be an admin login feature again... as soon as I log-out, refresh the page it all looks like it should be.

Hi,

On all my pages I have the footer text center align.
This is also the same for my blog page, although it does not show in the center.
The footer settings are text-align 'center'
Does this have anything to do with the Wordpress add-on perhaps?

And I also noticed that the social media icons are not displayed, is this also add-one related?

Regards

I found out, that as soon I am in Wordpress admin mode they don't show.. but that is only visible to me.. the rest is indeed correctly shown.

Hi,

Just purchased and play around with the Wordpress add-on for BL2.
Now, I did noticed that my font awesome icons from my menu does not appear in my Wordpress.
All other pages have a font awesome in front of the menu name, but these does not show in the Wordpress.

Any one a solution to this? I already added my-phplugins.php to the page.

You just made my day Rod!!! Where would the Backlight community be without your knowledge!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

It all works the way I wanted.. on to the next challenge..

#19 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Disable filenames and download possible? » 2019-02-21 04:00:03

I am trying so hard to understand.. it making me nuts. I really really appreciate your efforts in making me trying to understand it.

Now.. I managed to find the page template that was used by the album, I activated .phpplugins on that page template.
I have also added a title to the first image..

Title works.. that is awesome! It shows a title instead of the filename.
Script does not work, other images still show filename.

Here is how my phplugins look:

<?php
/*
*  TTG Core Elements "PHPlugins" User Hooks v1.2 - initialization mainline
*
*  developed by john bishop images (http://johnbishopimages.com)
*  for Matthew Campagna of The Turning Gate (http://theturninggate.net)
*
*/

function user_load($style, $path) {
  $g_tsvrl = explode(' ', $style); // Extract gallery type
  define ('G_STYLE', strtoupper($g_tsvrl[1])); // and set global for later
  $g_path = str_ireplace('\\','/',$path); // change \ to /
  $chunks = explode('/',$g_path); // and put into array
  define ('G_PATH', strtoupper($chunks[count($chunks)-2])); // gallery folder name is second to last
  //define ( 'TTG_SITE', ''); // set new site root for navigation, resources, etc.
}

if (defined('BACKLIGHT_HOOK')) {
    require_once(realpath(BACKLIGHT_HOOK).'/modules/module-designer/application/helpers/APHPlugins.php');
}

class PHPlugins extends APHPlugins
{
function head() {
   echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="/backlight/custom/vanilla-form/css/vanilla-form.min.css">';
   echo '<script src="/backlight/custom/vanilla-form/js/vanilla-form.min.js"></script>';
}
function scripts()  {
     echo'
         <script>$(document).ready(function() {
   var myForm;
   myForm = new VanillaForm($("form.vanilla-form"));
});</script>
';
function scripts () {
echo'
<script>
jQuery("img").removeAttr("title");
</script>
';
}
}// END /**/

Wait a minute...

Have you added it to your phplugins file? Is your page template using that phplugins file?

I do not have a page template for the page... it is an album directly placed under the menu button showcase..
That is why it will not work...I guess..

#21 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Disable filenames and download possible? » 2019-02-21 03:15:55

http://www.aimhigh.aero/galleries/showcase/

If you assign a title to the image, then the title will show instead of the filename.

In Lightroom or the publisher module?

#22 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Disable filenames and download possible? » 2019-02-21 02:42:05

Still showing, cleared cage etc. script is not removing the image filename.

#23 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Disable filenames and download possible? » 2019-02-21 01:25:42

It is indeed a screenshot of an album thumbnail grid.
Ill give it another try..

#24 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Disable filenames and download possible? » 2019-02-21 00:51:56

Oh.. I am such a noob at this.. I do try to understand it. So, it does not disable the filename of the image?
When I hover with my mouse over an image in my showcase, I see the file name appear, like in the image below.
I am looking for a script or something that does not allow the files names to appear.

#25 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Disable filenames and download possible? » 2019-02-20 22:56:23

I found the following script:

function add_custom_tooltip(){
?>
<script>
jQuery(window).load(function(){
jQuery('a').removeAttr('title');
jQuery('img').removeAttr('title');
});
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'add_custom_tooltip');

When I add the code, the filenames do still appear when holding the mouse over an image after 2 seconds.
