Community @ The Turning Gate

OK, thanks for the pointer to that.  Don't know why I did not find that in my search.  That is helpful for site wide error page, but from Ben's comments, it seems the idea of adding custom error page info by specific album or album set is not workable in Backlight.  I assume that is still true today, as when he wrote his comments on 10-31-16.

Thanks, Matt.  Following intent of instructions in the last paragraph the doc you referenced I deleted, via FTP, the htaccess files in the albums in questions (and even those that were set to slideshow) and all of them seem to work correctly now.

So I will empty out the htaccess code in the advanced setting in Backlight admin (as the article outlines) and create new albums going forward with that change in place   All should work OK.  Will let you know if problems arise.

Not as far as I know.  Using Network Solutions. 

I changed the htaccess files anyway (to the recommendations for FastCGI server), just to see if any difference could be seen.  At first the page did come up correctly - the stand-alone page - one one of the thumbnails.  But then it 404'd.  Also the index page went to a 404 as well.  So changed them back to the default settings.  Index page comes back, but still 404s when trying to load the single-page-html. 

So no change.  Also tried to set the SQLite Journal and Synchronous to "DEFAULT" in both cases.  They were set to "PERSIST and "OFF".  But no change there.  So set them back to original values (Persist and Off).

Any other ideas?

Thanks, Rod.  I saw this which tells me how to eliminate the social media icons through CSS -http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … hp?id=7319

As for the other (map, permalink, etc)  - yes I may want to eliminate those as well.  Is there a CSS property for that?  Additionally can I just eliminate the whole share menu, which would take them all out at once?

Album template is set to Single-Image-Presentation for the above.   The social media icon issue is only apparent when I change it back to Slideshow. So I guess one problem at a time.

Thanks, Rod..

OK - that is kind of what I thought.   Thanks, Daniel.

Rod - originally, yes, I did remove the index.php from the /backlight folder - (the wrong one, as you said).  But of course this caused the login problem, so I just put it back.  Then login was functional again.

My site (since it is constructed independent of Turning Gate products) uses existing .htaccess and index.php files at root already.  So I did not replace those on installation. Nor should I , or the site will crash.    Question is now, what to do with (if anything) the Backlight root .htaccess file.  I assume it is only needed for Pages, so I can dispense with it for now, as with the Backlight root index.php file.

Sound right?

Thanks, Rod.   Should have been able to think of that....

Derek and his engineering team over at Fotomoto, found the problem, which, as I understand it, resided on their end.  They were able to fix it, so now I am good to go.

However, I wanted to mention to you, Matt, that the CE4 Gallery engine (and I am assuming i have the latest version - #6110 dated August 8, 2016) seems to me to contain a problem.  See above in my response on 01-30-17 13:10:35.  I have tested this both ways, that is with what I downloaded from Turning Gate, and with the edit I mentioned in the above post.  With an http site, there is no difference in behavior.  But with an https site,  the SSL blocks the connection to the Fotomoto script, as written in the CE4 Gallery code.  Removing the "http:" in the script reference allows the connection, and it then works properly.

This is my reading of the situation.  But I am certainly no where near your level of expertise in this area, and realize I could have something amiss in my reading of it..  But just wanted to bring it to your attention, should there indeed be a problem there.

Charlie, yes, I did  encounter that issue.  According to Fotomoto the CE4 Gallery reference to the Fotomoto script should not contain the "http://" before the script.  I was able to go in to the Gallery Engine and edit that to what fotomoto gave me, which is "//widget.fotomoto.com/stores/script/....."   While that made the script responsive (i.e. allowed buttons to show up and respond), it does not solve the blocking of images issue. 

So I am thinking the problem lies elsewhere.  Or is it (Fotomoto through CE4 Gallery) just incompatible with https sites?  Fotomoto says their product does work with https sites.
