Community @ The Turning Gate

Thanks Rod.

I may get around to changing to Pangolin album templates at some point. Right now the Okapi albums are good.

Daniel,

Nice. That was it all along!

Thank you.

Rod,

Also, thanks for your help.

OK. Here is where I am. I removed the '?>' and that did the trick! I also had the site crash when that was in the php file. I have 2 Page templates, the full screen template and the regular page template. I enabled the CSS and PHP functionality back and forth as I was trying to get things working.

Once it was working again, the button was in the upper right corner of the page and almost off the page. I tried some things and finally removed the 'masthead_primary_bottom' function and replaced it with the 'main_bottom' function in the PHP file. That put the button at the bottom right on the page, same as where it was in Backlight 1.

On a desktop browser it is OK, but on my iPhone and iPad (in portrait mode) the bottom is slightly off the bottom of the page, unless I scroll up a bit. I looked at the CSS file and it is a "fixed" position.I tried to modify the 'bottom' setting to move the button up a bit higher, but that setting change to more pixels did nothing to the button position on the screen.

Any idea how I can move the button up higher on the screen?

The CSS file contents are below;

#enter-field {
   position: fixed;
   bottom: 20px;
   right: 20px;
   background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0.7);
   font-size:1em;
   border-color: white; 
   white; border-width:4px;
   border-style:solid;
}
#enter-field:hover {
   border-color: black; 
}
#enter-field a {
    display: block;
    padding: 24px;
    color:black;
}
#enter-field a:hover {
   text-decoration: none;
}

.masthead {
    display: inherit;
}

Thanks,

Jack

Note: The very similar script that Daniel provided to me a while back worked fine in Blacklight 1.

How can I post the file?

The file contents;

function masthead_primary_bottom () {
    echo '
        <div id="enter-field" ><a href="https://stuffbyjack.com/galleries/">ENTER</a></div>   
    ';
} // end masthead_primary_bottom

?>

Yes I am.

Rod,

They are enabled.

Yes Backlight 1 file. What needs changing? I think Daniel wrote the files for me.

Hello Ben,

I did that after the upgrade.

However. I did it again, and cleared the template cache again, and now it seems to be working OK.

Still fiddling with the home page format. I lost my "ENTER" button.

I think it is a custom css?

I will keep looking.

Thanks,

Jack

Rod, Ben, Matthew and Daniel,

Thanks for all the help with the SSL and upgrade to Backlight 2 issues I was having. I better understand how it works now.

My 2 upgraded-to-Backlight 2 sites are working as they should, including SSL and Theater YouTube embedded video links. I will upgrade the remaining 2 sites in the next few days, with the appropriate new templates where needed, and will be running Backlight 2 on everything. A long journey from the CE3 days when I started with TTG!

One suggestion for documentation, I could not find anything that indicated Backlight 1 Theater add-on would not carry over and work in Backlight 2. There was also no indication, that I could find, that Backlight 2 Pangolin Theater add-on will not work in Backlight 1.

Obviously that means that all theater embedded video albums will have to be updated in Backlight2 with a new template, as indicated. I have a couple of hundred such albums across all 3 of my sites, so some additional unplanned work will be needed to upgrade to Backlight 2 to get it all working.

That explanation in the upgrade documentation for Backlight 1 to Backlight 2 would be helpful for others. It would have saved me and you support guys a lot of time.

Again thanks again. I appreciate it.

Jack

Ben, Matthew,

Now I understand the issues with the old module theater and the hard coded http.

I am in the process of tying to upgrade to Backlight 2.

I have 2 of my 4 sites upgraded to Backlight 2. The first one was a test site and had some problems that Ben sorted out for me. Thanks again Ben.

The second site was successfully upgraded today, and I installed the Pangolin Theater module. The problem I see is the Backlight Theater template did not carry over. So none of my videos on that site work as the template does not exist anymore.

Question #1, for that upgraded site, do I have to go into each album with an embedded video and manually switch it to the Pangolin Theater template?

That site is www.stuffbyjack.com/oneview

Question #2, for the other 2 Backlight 1 sites, is there a way do that before I upgrade to Backlight 2? And not manually.

The reason is I have a lot (hundreds) of embedded videos on those 2 sites. A lot of work to upgrade.

All the photo albums are fine.

Thanks,

Jack

Daniel's suggestion didn't work. I am on the latest version of Backlight (124) and Theater (126). I change the site URL to https.

Suggestions?

Jack
