Community @ The Turning Gate

Greetings and Happy New Year.

My contact page is beginning to act like a Monty Python skit... "Spam, spam, spam, spam..."

Until I have time to add captcha or something, should I delete the contact page on Backlight 1.2.3 then later rebuild it? Is it easy to rebuild?

Should I delete my contact email instead and leave the contact page?

How would I go about adding Captcha? Is there a link you can point me to?

I use my website for friends and family and don't usually get responses through the contact page.

Thanks for any suggestions that you might send my way.

Oops,

I published an album from Lightroom to my site. Went to work and viewed the album from a different computer. Oops! I put some photos up that would have been not appreciated by the viewer. So, I logged into the server and deleted the album from coyotepixel/galleries/ instead of waiting until I arrived home to delete them from Lightroom Publisher.

The photos are gone from my site. But when I deleted the album from Lightroom the Album name and blue line are still on the Gallery Page of my site. The album doesn't show anywhere in Lightroom.

How do I remove the Album name from Galleries page?

Thanks,

jim

Ok, I'm a bit slow with implementing the Pangolin changes to my many albums.

Recently, since the last update, I tried to use an older Okapi template that I liked but noticed that my template had changed (I think) with the update.

I had once created large thumbnails as well as photos that appeared large in the single image page, full screen. But when I created a new album with what I thought was my old template, I can't seem to get back to the older larger thumbnail and single image sizes.

I noticed that on a mac laptop the single images of the older and newer templates were the same. But on my Mac desktop, the single image in full screen is smaller with the newer album template. I've tried to change the size of the single images, but to no avail.

Older album thumbnail page:  http://coyotepixel.net/galleries/coast-12-16/

Latest album thumbnail page:  http://coyotepixel.net/galleries/swale-canyon/

I also notice that on the galleries page, the thumbnails for a few albums are smaller than the older previous template albums. Whatever I  do to increase the thumbnail sizes and single image size for the Okapi template, which I really like, has no effect.

Of course, I didn't write down the settings for the older Okapi album template so I don't know if I am missing something.

I'd like to recreate the larger thumbnails and single images in full screen mode. I'm working off of my 24 inch desktop. Does that make a difference?

I seem to be missing something.... The space between thumbnails is larger. How do I change that and will it make a difference in thumbnail sizes?

I have been uploading photos to my brother's website from my computer. I have all his photos on an external hard drive linked to my Lightroom. He wants to take over managing his site so I have to migrate everything over to his computer and Lightroom.

I suppose there is no easy way to do this. Can anyone list the steps necessary for this migration or will I have to start over from scratch?

Thanks,

jim

Greetings.

I uploaded 300 photos of a recent vacation. The thumbnails look great but when I click on any of them to enlarge, the contrast changes in the image and the larger image is more washed out. On Safari, the image changes after about 1/2 second.

None of my other albums do this.

Any ideas?

Thanks much!

Greetings.

Many of my thumbnail pages for Albums have over 150  thumbnails. Is there anyway to put a navigation line a the bottom of the thumbnails so that visitors can go back a page to either Gallery or Album Set instead of having to scroll back to the top? This would be in addition to the navigation line at the top of the thumbnails.

Thanks. I'm not good at coding, etc. Maybe there is a simple way to do this? Or, could you provide an example of the coding, etc?
