If I insert an album set in a page as soon as the set is visited the menu breaks and produces a 404.

This does not happen if I insert an album.

Clicking on the page banner resets this behaviour.

I've set up the site to demonstrate the problem. http://www.petesphotos.click

I saw your sticky post about guest access but am not sure how I advise you what the password is...

My service provider investigated this and found a statement

"extension=pdo_sqlite" in php.ini

He removed it and everything now works.

He doesn't know how it got there.

Problem now resolved.. thanks for your prompt help.

What markup language do I use in Backlight pages?

Can anyone recommend a URL for a good reference guide?

Thanks.

thanks - where do I find instructions for using custom css?

I've searched the documentation and forum and can't find how to do it.

In "slideshow" view the the options of displaying thumbnails and sharing are excellent.

The only problem is I don't use social media and I don't want it to be easy to transfer my images to social media.

I know I can do this by using "single-image" but if I do that users lose the facility of the thumbnail display, share by link options and the swipe facility to move through images.

What I really want is the "single-image" display to include the same icons in the top right hand corner, a swipe facility consistent with "slideshow", a share icon (which should look like a conventional share icon) and the ability to turn off social media buttons. Also the maps option is not a share facility so it should appear on the top bar as in the "single-image" view. These changes would make the interface more consistent for the user.

Thank you for your help. After some help with php.ini and htaccess from my provider all is working well and this thread can be regarded as closed. smile  smile

#10 Re: Backlight Support » Family and Friends Downloads » 2017-06-14 00:21:31

Thanks again, Chrome started working after I stopped any extensions then cleared the cache.

Am about to tackle my php.ini file.

#11 Re: Backlight Support » Family and Friends Downloads » 2017-06-13 17:33:29

Thanks for that,

Downloads now work ok except for two new problems.

      1.The download option appears not to show in Chrome.

      2. I encounter the message Unable to perform action: upload rendition  The uploaded file xeceeds the upload_max_filesize directive in php.

I will do some work to define these better then raise a thread for each

#12 Re: Backlight Support » Family and Friends Downloads » 2017-06-12 18:58:36

There is no download directory..

The structure is

Galleries
       Album
              Custom_thumbnails
              Photos
              Thumbnails

For each album custom_thumbnails is empty and the other 2 albums are populated.

I've now discovered Chrome on my PC and android phone don't show the download option...

IExplorer shows it  ... but the download fails with file not found .. This is also true of my Roboform browser.. as Chrome is so popular this will need supporting.

Cheers

Pete

#15 Re: Backlight Support » Family and Friends Downloads » 2017-06-08 18:15:06

Thanks for explaining the disappearance of the sharing option.

Unfortunately there is no download option in the large image view and CTRL-Click behaves the same as a single Click.

Here's the URL  http://petesphotos.click/galleries/

  id guest  and pw  carol access the locked album

#16 Re: Backlight Support » Family and Friends Downloads » 2017-06-08 13:25:43

Thanks Rod,

I have now tried that.

I assume that when download is enabled there should be a download option in the image menu box.

When I select the image menu box there is no menu when downloads are enabled and the sharing options have disappeared as well.

Is this some sort of bug?  ,,, how do I report it.

I bought Backlight and Pages for 2 reasons:

- to showcase my photos in a convenient manner - I have no interest in selling them (I use Alamy for that)

- to post family albums which are "locked" and allow family and friends to view and download the pictures.

I have searched the support forums and cannot find a way of enabling downloads.

Am I missing something obvious?

Pete
