Hi guys, it is possible to setup a CE4 Gallery to have a semi transparent background a fixed image? maybe asking a lot from this amazing software but I really need to make my galleries shine.

Here is a sample of what I want to achieve

Thanks Rod, approx what size do your images come out at? I'm trying to keep them under 100K each

#3 Re: CE4 Gallery » recommended image rendition settings? » 2016-11-17 10:27:03

Hi there, yep good article on compression. I'm also interested in more real life screnarios, what others who use the plugin's have found works best for them. Always good to see how everyone has invented their own wheel as it were. smile

Hey all, im trying to save some disc space with my galleries now getting huge. My current image settings are 800px x 800px, thumbnails 320px x 320px and jpg quality of 67%..

images are around 100K each with thumbnails 30k and 15k for mobiles.
Anyone have any recommended settings? these are client Highlight galleries so the quality needs to be reasonable but not 4k. Its a balance between load time and quality, curious what others have

Done that now the gallery shows:


Warning: require_once(lib.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/timele32/public_html/lrgalleries/client-gallery-sneak-peek/index.php on line 3

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'lib.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/timele32/public_html/lrgalleries/client-gallery-sneak-peek/index.php on line 3

thanks Ben, will give it a try. there is no save option when you edit an album or set, just Cancel and Edit at the bottom. I'm guessing its Edit as Cancel dont sound right..

HI there,
I inadvertently deleted the lrgalleries folder that contained ALL my Galleries, Smart Albums and albums sets.
These were all published through lightroom.

When I go to republish them, it tells me the folder where each gallery was no longer exists. I have created the lrgalleries folder again and given it 755 permissions. I still get the error.

How do I recover from this???

#11 Re: CE4 Gallery » Broken Albums » 2016-10-16 06:41:22

not sure what you mean by that, its in the location in the TTG documenation. Its certainly blocking it as I have turned the plugin off and it works perfectly. I turn it back on and it fails.
It sees the transfer of data as a potential risk and blocks it.

#12 Re: CE4 Gallery » Broken Albums » 2016-10-14 21:38:19

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/

pretty much the most commonly used wordpress wedsite security plugin to stop hackers

#13 Re: CE4 Gallery » Broken Albums » 2016-10-14 18:21:29

HA, I found it... the latest version of wordfence Stops CE4 from uploading through Lightroom. it see's it as a security risk and blocks it..

Now I just need to figure out how to turn wordfence back on and allow lightroom to work..

#14 Re: CE4 Gallery » Broken Albums » 2016-10-14 18:16:13

Looking further I may have, well definitely have removed albums via FTP. I had to do this due to needing to update an album that I had lost all the original images to. This creates a break in LR where you cant actually delete the album in CE4 to re do it. SO my bad.

The problem I have is when I try to go into the phpLiteAdmin to delete the orphaned albums, I get this..

403 Forbidden
A potentially unsafe operation has been detected in your request to this site.

Which loops me back to the beginning..
Ben, anyone help please.

#15 Re: CE4 Gallery » Broken Albums » 2016-10-14 18:01:31

sorry I'm using CE4 and its pushing from lightroom. Its now at the point I cant even publish a new gallery. it loads one image then errors. these are brand new images, new file names, new gallery, i'm hosted on inmotionhosting..
help. my galleries cant be updated..

Hi, recently getting a few broken image icons on albums for some reason. Usually I just republish the album and all good after that.

This time I cant find a way to resolve it and getting worried there might be a database corruption.

When I try and publish the gallery again, it loaded two images the came up with an "Error uploading rendition. (Code: 403)"

Whats the issue and how do I fix it please.

#17 Re: CE4 Auto Index » Issue with Galleries on Mobile » 2016-09-14 14:36:13

Ok have put all the galleries in Album sets and it works well.

My only issue now is that for each album set, when I have the cover image set to Random it shows a broken image Icon. I can set it manually which works well but I would like my gallerys to look difference each time someone enters them.

Is this user error or a bug as I use Random on other Gallerys sets ok.

#18 Re: CE4 Auto Index » Issue with Galleries on Mobile » 2016-09-14 11:27:39

Excellent about the album sets.
Have started to add them into sets under the Initial album set, how do I make the album visible?
I know its a basic question... Sorry,

#19 Re: CE4 Auto Index » Issue with Galleries on Mobile » 2016-09-14 08:05:30

As a thought on this, I was thinking to break my galleries into years rather than all on the one autoindex.
So for example you go into my wedding gallery and it lists:
2016 2015 2014 2013 2012 weddings etc.

You then click on that year to bring up the wedding for that year.

How do I go about doing that?
Would I need a autoindex for the top menu, then an autoindex for each respective year, then a gallery template for each year?

Hi, firstly I know I have a lot of galleries, but, I have found that the mobile view of my sites galleries now has crawled to a halt.

http://www.timelessweddingimages.com.au … neak-peek/

I'm looking for any suggestions that may help resolve this issue.

Will running something like EWWW optimizer do anything with the image sizes as well or should I change the template and republish them all.

Any help would be great as its now not usable on mobile devices. sad

Thanks

#22 Re: CE4 Gallery » Adding HTML code to pages » 2016-06-01 07:08:20

Oh wait,,, oops. I turned the sidebar on (my bad). it works. Kewl. so adding the HTML code to the sidebar has resolved the issue.

Thanks guys

#23 Re: CE4 Gallery » Adding HTML code to pages » 2016-06-01 07:03:51

sorry Rod, no idea where to find the page copy fields.

The code can go pretty much anywhere on the page from what I understand
Avada is a weird theme in the way it works which is causing me issues with this chat app. Have the problem resolved on all pages now though except the gallery and autoindex.

I just tried adding the code to the page sidebar but still no go.

Where are the page copy fields you mentioned?

Hi, I have a chat application that I wish to be triggered when some goes to my gallery page.
As its not a "normal" page in wordpress that I can just drop the required HTML on the pages code, How do I go about adding it?

Hope that makes sense..
