#1 Re: Backlight 3 Support » Kudos for this upgrade process! » 2020-05-03 00:37:34

Thanks from me too. This was a breeze. Two sites upgraded and tested in less than 10 minutes!

Only question I had going in was if I also needed to replace the TTG_Publisher.LRPLUGIN as the instructions did not mention it. For those wondering... I did not.

Thank you again for a great product that suits my needs beautifully.

Thanks so much for spending the time on this. It makes my feel better that I wasn't overlooking something obvious. I was hoping there was some property in the background that I could use to close up that space.

I have tried the HTML solution through a wordpress page and abandoned that for this solution as my skills were not on a level to make it easy for me to get a good end result.

I will stick with this for now.  Thanks again for your efforts.

I am in the midst of a rebuild my website and am stuck trying to build an album set with a single column of albums. Here is a page with the current challenge.

http://lynneford.com/demo/demo_awards/b … ied-shows/

Goal here was to have a single "bullet list" of awards and juried shows in reverse chronological order, preferably with a thumbnail. A click to open the file in a slide show is a bonus.

If I build a typical album set, the albums build horizontally across the page in columns rather than vertically in columns and this is less desireable. I thought a single column would be a good work around. And that is where I am stuck

I already have the thumbnail grid margin set to 0 and I am using a 8x1 aspect ratio so both the album title and description are visible, even though there is a little more padding than I need (can't seem to turn this additional padding off). The thumbnails have been replaced with custom 50x50 pixel thumbnails.

I can accept the way the albums look now but the wide margins between the albums is undesirable because I have a lot more entries to make. Can I use CSS to override this? I suspect there are some defaults in the background that are controlling this so it may not be possible.

Any other suggestions? Thanks  in advance.

Thank you both for the quick response and added information. I will plan to use Daniel's solution when I get to that phase.  Much appreciated!

I have been rebuilding my CE4 site in Backlight. At this point I have the basics working and am now tackling the small issues.

I am running Backlight-Pages 1.2.3 Rel 4
Theater 125
Galleria 100
on a Bluehost server. Custom CSS and PHPlugins are enabled but not being used.

I am tracing out the loss of the breadcrumb on my About and Contact pages which are using a Theater page with a "Still Image"  presentation. The Lightroom published albums for "About" and "Contact" have "Display breadcrumbs" checked.

When I insert each album on the About or Contact page in the Backlight/Designer/Pages configuration screen, the resulting pages on my website have the correct published album but DO NOT include the breadcrumb.

If I build a random page off the top level gallery and use the same album the breadcrumb DOES appear.

In comparing the source code for the two pages I noticed that the section that begins with <ul class="breadcrumbs"> is missing from the About page being created through the Pages configuration screen.

To me this appears to be a incorrect behavior (because if I wanted to turn off the breadcrumb I would do that in the LR Published album as I do for the home page) but perhaps it is intentional. Could you please confirm?

Thank you in advance for your help.
