hmmm...wonder if that can already be done with phplugins...
....or maybe simply add it to the Search intro text via html
Now there's a thought. Thanks Rod.
Hi DavidOllila,
I put a "hero image" in my search page from Backlight 2.
Here is the html code that I use at the top of my search bar, you must enter this code in:
Backlight-> Languages-> US English-> Manage Language: Publisher and Search Intro (md)You can see the result on this page:
https://phototheque.nicolaslogerot.com/ … /?q=Italie
HTML code:
<div class="hero-image"> <div class="hero-text"> <h1 style="font-size:45px"><span class="fas fa-binoculars"> </span>Images search</h1> </div> </div>Then the CSS (which you can modify according to the appearance of your website):
/*Display text on image in search module ================================================================*/ .hero-image { background-image: url("https://yourwebsite.com//backlight/designer/page/image/17"); width: 110%; margin-left: -10px; margin-top: -20px; height: 250px; background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: cover; position: relative; } .hero-text { text-align: center; position: absolute; top: 50%; left: 50%; transform: translate(-50%, -50%); color: white; letter-spacing: 0.25rem; font-weight: 700; text-transform: uppercase; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; }Nico
Thanks Nico. I might give that a try.
Not what you are looking for, but I have put in a fix in our working code to stop the Hero section from displaying when a cover image is not set. With the current behaviour, that means it will be disabled entirely in Search.
Thanks Ben.
Ben,
I was actually looking to have it a permanent dedicated image in the hero box. It does not sound like that's feasible at this time. And that's OK. I will just carry on.
Thanks,
David O
Thanks for the response Rod and Ben.
I will create another template for the search and remove the Hero. However I like the Hero header on the Search page.
Any chance this could be enabled for the Search page, and I would like to see it on the Album Set also.
Just a thought.
Thanks as always for the love and support...
David O
Ben, Thanks for the response.
So on my Search Page (and I do not have an actual page for Search) at
https://davidollilaphoto.com/backlight/search/
Image selected just for test is:dmo-19840215-CA-Palo-Alto-Sunset-Oaks-0001-01.tif
there is a "Hero" black box and it reads "Search Results"
Prior to the BL3 "Hero" update the black box did not exist on the Search. Maybe I need to create a separate search page?
Do I have something configured wrong? Please advise.
Thanks, David O
I am loving the BL3 Update and the new Hero image. Thank You!
However How to I get an image in the Hero "Box" on the Search Page? I created a separate Album Template with one image and directed in the Admin/Search to use this as the template. Cleared Template Cache, etc. Still no luck.

Thanks in advance...

Thanks Rod.
Rod, I believe I did delete the (wrong) Publisher instance. I'll check my LR Backup. I was not sure if those albums were saved in the backup. I did not want to change anything until I had confirmation that they should be in a backup. I thought I had heard that collections were not stored in the LR Backup. Maybe I heard wrong.
Thanks
Daniel, I do have a recent backup. I haven't dived into that. I will check tonight. Thanks
I just did the recent update to Blacklight 3 v3.0.1 and everything went fine. I downloaded the LR Publisher Plugin v5.0.1 and in the process of installing I inadvertently deleted my previous version of the LR Publisher Plugin and lost all my Album Sets and Albums in Lightroom Classic. All Albums and Album sets are on line and functioning. However I have no way of accessing now through Lightroom. If I add in the newest Publisher Plugin it starts out fresh with none of my albums. Any Ideas on how to reconect my online albums Sets and Albums to my Lightroom Classic?
Thanks, David O
If an item has been added to the Fotomoto cart from a Gallery that is Fotomoto enabled Is it possible to have the Fotomoto Check Out Cart appear on other pages other than the Fotomoto enabled galleries? Would like the cart to show on Pages and Auto Index.
Thanks,
David
I was Rod. Changing to the Magnific presentation seems to have eliminated the issue. Will test with some more portfolio uploads tonight.
Matt, Yes I switched to the Magniific presentation and it seems to work just fine. So it appears its just an issue with the Gallery presentation. I don't know why I didn't try that before. I may even like it better. Mirrors closelywhat is on iPad/iphone. However If you get something resolved with gallery....
Thanks again,
David
Thanks Matt for looking into it. I guess I'll go back to the "Standard" Gallery as much as I like the look of the "Masonry". I guess I'll wait for Google to fix their "Chrome"...again.
Thanks again for all your hard work.
David
Happy New Year! I am still hoping to find a solution to what appears a Chrome issue in CE4 Gallery Highslide/TTG Masonry both rigid and elastic. I have gone through the pain of deleting all my galleries/portfolios and tried to start from scratch. I did download and install a fresh version of CE4 Gallery 613a hoping that it may solve the problem. Limiting the Gallery Page to less than 12-14 images seems to be OK. More than that and I still get a "white band" below. In addition if I click on an image in the lower portion of the gallery and exit out I am now getting a black "bar" in the middle of the gallery. Gallery CE4 Standard works. See the links:
http://davidollilaphoto.com/galleries/Monochrome/
http://davidollilaphoto.com/galleries/Monochrome-II/
Any help or suggestions of what is going on?
Thanks,
David
Matt and/or Rob,
I went back to an original CE4 Gallery Template and uploaded another gallery to my site not using publisher. I am experiencing the same erratic background position in Chrome. Does not appear in IE or Firefox. See the following Galleries/Portfolios:
http://davidollilaphoto.com/galleries/Monochrome/
http://davidollilaphoto.com/galleries/Monochrome-II/
And this which was uploaded direct to my galleries not using publisher:
http://davidollilaphoto.com/galleries/M … lery-Test/
and yes it's weird...
Any thoughts to what I may be doing wrong?
Matt and Rod,
Did not expect for you guys to respond over the holidays. Thank you both again for your time. My Chrome version is 39.0.2171.95m which is the most current unless they are telling me something different.
So I uploaded two galleries/portfolios of the same. Links are:
http://davidollilaphoto.com/galleries/Monochrome/
http://davidollilaphoto.com/galleries/Monochrome-II/
Monochrome is with the Freewall Masonry
Monochrome II with the CE4 Standard. It does not have the same problem, although there is some faint "ghosting" in the slideshow. That may be my settings.
Please don't spend your Christmas and New Years stressing over this. Let me know if there is a solution or what I may be doing wrong when you have settled down after the holidays.
Merry Christmas...
David
Have a Merry Christmas
Rod,
Thanks for the response. I have not tried going back to CE4 Standard. Have been using the Freewall Masonoy for some time. The issue just popped up this last weekend. I'll give it a try this evening when I get back and let you know. Although I'm thinking it's a Chrome issue. (again...)
I have suddenly started to get an erratic background, sometimes only showing half of the black background and some times just a band across the screen during the slideshow presentation in my galleries/portfolios. This only appears to happen in Google Chrome and does not do the same in IE or Firefox. I have uploaded fresh template and does not seem to fix. It's most evident if you scroll down to one of the bottom images and click to start slide show. See link..
http://davidollilaphoto.com/galleries/Monochrome/
Any clues to what might be happening?
Thanks in advance,
David
Rod,
I was able to clear up my problems with Google Chrome by just adding the "MT" after the Gill Sans in the font family in the LR web module and in a few other places. Back to normal looking font in all browsers. Thank you very much for your help and suggestions.
Matt,
Thanks for the great job on TTG CE4. What a great product you (and Ben?) have provided that is continuing to improve in every edition/upgrade. I am truly thankful for what you guys have done.
Now back to putting my website back in order.
Thanks again,
David
Thanks Rod. I'll give it a try.
David
Rod, Thanks for the input. But I have not changed any of the fonts since the my early days with CE2. Has worked well through CE3 and even till CE4 which I published to my site on or about 8/9/14. I made no changes other than uploading new galleries through CE4 Publisher. Your listed option to use Google fonts lists numerous (hundreds?) of downloadable fonts but what and how are they loaded into Lightroom or Google Chrome is a mystery to me. What do I need to for my TTG templates to access them. Am I missing something or is this a total Google Chrome issue that I just have to live with?
Thanks for your help
David
I have and am still having problems with the fonts on Chrome. Works fine in IE but is relegated to some "wide aspect" font in Chrome nd maybe others. OS is windows 8.1. Is no one else having the same problem. Is this a Chrome issue or do I need to wait for an update from TTG. I'm using all CE4 Pages, Stage, Auto Index and Publisher and have tried to upload to correct. No success. Do I need to install a new font to TTG. If so How? See my site at:
Thanks
Thanks Matt! That did the trick. Something so stupid on my part. I love what you've done with the latest CE4 plugins. Using Stage and Publisher for my opening home page is going to make life a whole lot easier. Now moving forward with Cart.
Thanks again,
David
