hmmm no answer guess I will have to modify backlight myself to do this; I know this is easy item to change and know where to change it in backlight but would prefer the change come from TTG.
Thanks,
Michael
Also, another option for better management for those not using LR the ability to edit/update the Metadata fields directly from backlight; just a thought this would make it easier for those using other Photo Libraries+Editors not associated with Adobe Products.
Thanks,
Michael
Currently, the Metadata field for itemPricing is coming from Category Metatdata in LR. However, I am no longer using LR and only using ON1 Photo Raw where category & other categories metadata fields are not present and they have said they are not adding those metadata fields. I would like a way that I can assign another field to itemPricing since I use that in all my code. I have been trying to get ON1 to add those fields for the last five years to no avail.
I am already using the two other metadata fields and need to be able to get the itemPricing from a different field. Or maybe you could add one or two more Metadata fields other than Metadata One & Two to use. I know this is a big but simple ask but because I am using another Photo Library+Editor (ON1 Photo Raw) it would be very helpful if the assignment of itemPricing could be made within backlight along with metadata one & two.
Thanks,
Michael
Actually, for each of your albums you can put the following in your album copy settings main copy window to have no right click images on the page/album. I have this currently implemented on my site.
<script>
window.oncontextmenu = function () {
return false;
}

Ben/Matt, Is there any plans to add Stripe support to Backlight?
BTW, I recently moved my Backlight to a Litespeed Server with no issues and it has been working great!!!
According to the new rules based on the Supreme Court decision, all online sales must be taxed & collected for each state. For example, if someone buys an item from me online from California its sales tax is 7.5% then that is what is collected they would not be charged sales tax for Arkansas. Then what is collected is eventually sent to California/Each State each quarter. Since each State has a different sales tax amount this would require a drop-down of each State including for example Puerto Rico and Washington D.C. both of which are non-States but do collect Sales Taxes. I recently converted my main site over to another method not using Backlight in order to be able to enter each state's sales tax; but I have lost some capability of using backlight. I prefer to use backlight and hope this can be included. Let me know!!!! By the way some states like Arkansas also tax Shipping as well. I also know the limits. There are four states without Sales Tax.
BTW, each state are now adding laws to enforce this collection of Sales Tax based on the Supreme Court Decision for online sales. If you follow sites such as Amazon, Bay Photo, and others they are now collecting Sales Taxes for Each State that has them. I think this is something that needs to be addressed.
Currently, in Backlight you can set up Sales Tax for your current State in the US you cannot have multiple Sales Tax by State. However, in the US; States are now requiring that local Sales Tax be collected. Also, many vendors are now requiring that the Tax is collected as a new policy change such as Bay Photo/FotoMoto.
Is there going to be an update to Backlight to allow for multi-State collection of Sales Taxes? This is becoming very important since the U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowing States to collect Sales Tax on Internet purchases from Out-Of-State. For example, I live in Arkansas and they have a 9% sales tax which I need to collect and send onto the Dept of Revenue on a quartley basis. If the person orders from out-of-State, I am required to collect this and the opposite is true if I purchased something from out-of-State on the internet such as from another vendor. Companies are starting to change their policies now as each State passes their law on this.
Therefore, it would help if backlight can support this on an individual State by State since each state charges a different Sales Tax amount.
Hopefully, Ben or Matt can answer this.
Thx,
Michael
Yes this is what I am using but once it is logged in and then a logout is performed it never resets the access page. So, there must be a flag or something to toggle just need to know what or how it is.
I found the problem in my code it was that I never updated my production system with a fix that I had made on my test system some time back. Sorry for the inconvenience - just a bone head move on my part.
Thanks,
Michael
I have a Protected (Unmanaged), which just requires an access code but when the user logouts of that the Access Code screen never reengages. I do a check on PASSWORD_ENABLED && LOGGED_IN and this works the first time, but after logout it does not reappear. How do I reset it after user logout so it will reengage on next time? BTW, I have the Client Managed logout/login working correctly just cannot seem to get the Protected (unmanaged) working. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael
Yes, that works, I tried that before but I did not include the > *. Anyway, thx
I guess I will have to figure it out later. Have to get my CSS book out as I am not the best at CSS. Thx anyway.
I added some css to change the color of the cart background according to Rod's tips&tricks but is does not seem to work. Am I missing something? Appreciate any help.
thx,
Michael
I will take a look at it, to see if I can improve that. Thx for your input it is really appreciated.
I eliminated the hyperlink for the Gallery products; did not need really need to display the ugly product photos.
Thx again Daniel. I think I have a unique presentation and product store now. Just need to add my other products and new galleries. However, I will take a look at trying your suggestion about the presentation of the product pages itself to not make it look like the Galleries itself. Any thoughts?
I am thinking maybe a list of the products with a small thumbnail (even smaller than now) next to it. Just a thought!!!!
Thx again Daniel for your insight; another pair of eyes always helps.
Daniel, Everything should be working fine let me know if something did not work since I did not see a 404 error. Also, I just used some creative coding in plugins and did not hack the system; it just appears that I did a hack.
Ben, I fully support not to do hacking on Backlight 2.
Rod Thx again for your assistance. I have my pagination working now with my code specific navigation in plugins; using a combination of changes to my copy_top & album_top code. Yes, I cleaned up my <li issue. Still making other updates as I go through everything.
Again thx a bunch.
Michael
Here is a link to one of the pages. https://keylightphotography.us/gallerie … s-gallery/
ok thx.
Do you have a copy of what the pagination code should be like? The example in the sample plugin only shows navigation not much else which is not useful. About the html error, I am cleaning up the code as I am an old HTML guy and know that some items are depreciated but will get to it; thx.
Hmmm, I will have to check but it is only showing at the bottom of the page. I also checked the browser at the source code and it is only showing it to be at the bottom. Anyway, Here is a link one of the galleries that have pagination https://www.keylightphotography.us/gall … s-gallery/
Quick question How to get Pagination to display top & bottom of page?
thx,
michael
Currently, I have set up a pricing scheme with multiple products for example: Prints Pricing (scheme) has the following products (Photographic, Fine Art, Dream HD, & Metal). When selecting photo&product to purchase the cart displays the selection for the products in a drop-down menu defaulting to the first item in the list (Dream HD) for example. Which is working correctly.
However, what I want is to somehow show only the product selected and to force it not to show the product drop-down list or if that cannot be done to show the product drop-down list but the product selected will be the default. On the latter point currently if you do make a selection other than the default let's say Metal then when you leave the cart and then make another photo/product selection the cart product drop-down shows Metal, so the cart is remembering the previous selection. Again what I would like is to not show the drop-down but force it to show only the product that was selected with the photo.
Any thoughts on how this can be down?
Thx Michael
Hi, since I did not get an answer to this, I went back and changed from one pricing scheme to multiple products to one pricing scheme to a single product. This temporarily solves the issue above, but I would still like an answer if it is possible,
Thanks Daniel for the information.
Hi 2.0.9 Adds lazy-loading of thumbnails, that load as needed during page scroll. Using my own phplugin for album/page loading how can I implement this new option to my custom php function? Currently, my page loads all without the lazy load since I bypass the Backlight loading. Is there specific function to call that is exposed for custom work?
Thx
Michael
How do I activate the Register Images for FotoMoto. I used it initially but I am reloading the images again to Fotomoto but the Register Images does not come up this time. How do I force it to show???
Thanks,
Michael
In the meantime, I have uploaded these one by one. But would like to know why the Register Images did not come up and how can I activate it when I add the rest of my hundreds of photos? one more thing I know it is suppose to show up when I am on backlight admin on the albums thumbnail grid but it is not showing up as it should.
Thanks Daniel I got he single image display working with my code. I removed all the buttons except for the close btn and I will eventually add my own purchase button to the single image. Thanks again I would of never thought that this was part of the copy.
okay will try those as long as it is called after the initial class the__copy is created which is normally done with a copy_top function since I need to remove that and replace it with my own class.
