#1 Re: CE4 Publisher » Error message when publishing images » 2016-02-10 03:49:02
Downloaded and updated the web templates and the publisher plug in. I was uneasy updating the 'ttg-be' folder and the 'publisher' folder on the server since I could not find any instructions other than the instructions to upgrade from CE3 to CE4 instructions. I would like to update the server files if I could.
Anyway all is working now. Thanks Rod!

When I publish an album, I get an error part way through the upload of images.
Error: Can't update this collection
Error uploading rendition
Unable to complete the action.
I have tried to delete the album and start over. The error does not seem to be related to any particular image.
BTW my web site is photos.creditech.ca
I can't figure out how to attach an image of the complete error message to this post.
#3 General » Advice on best method of selling images » 2015-01-27 06:20:45

I have a friend who is a guide / wildlife photographer / image vendor. I have volunteered to help him improve his sales of images. Currently he makes images available on his web site. A client then selects an image and then my friend will edit and print the selected image. Sometimes he will send the edited image file to the purchaser.
I would appreciate any advice anyone might have on the following:
1 - other than cost aspects, what are the pros and cons of printing images and sending them to the purchaser?
2 - what suggestions for promoting a photography web site?
3 - is there a site or sites that I must go to to get information on selling images?
I know this forum is not really the place for these question but as a User of Matts fabulous plugins, I thought it best to start here. Thanks for spending your time reading / responding to this.
Of course I will be recommending that he buy the CE 4 suite of products.
#4 Re: General » Migrating from gallery based site to autoindex based » 2014-08-19 05:15:57
So what you are saying is that the site already is making use of the autoindex features?
#5 Re: General » Migrating from gallery based site to autoindex based » 2014-08-19 04:31:20
The site is photos.creditech.ca
I don't know what you mean by:
is the link label to your autoindex/ folder named Galleries?
What / where is the link label?
The albums are Publisher controlled albums. I moved the albums by using Filezilla. How should I have moved them?
In order for you to help further, should I move one or more of the albums back into /photos/autoindex? (Right now all of the albums are in /photos/galleries)

I must be stupid but I can't get a clear picture of the steps required to do this. Here is what I have done so far:
1. I created a CE4 autoindex template and exported it.
2. Used Filezilla to upload the exported folder, sub-folders and files to /photos/ttg-be/templates/autoindex (/photos is the root of my photo web site)
3. Uploaded the same exported folder to /photos/autoindex
4. Moved each of the albums I had already created from /photos/galleries to /photos/autoindex
When I did this, none of the albums showed up on my "Galleries" page. Obviously I have to change some setting somewhere else. So, for now, I have moved everything back.
What was I doing wrong? I find the instructions for using autoindex very confusing. All of the other documentation seems excellent.
#7 Re: CE4 Publisher » Updating the publisher template broke my web site » 2014-08-08 11:54:39
Yes I had deleted the template in tag-be/templates/gallery/. I reinstalls it he template paying more attention to the messages generated by FileZilla and - - voila - the thing works properly!
Now I have one last issue: how do I implement auto index because I want to have albums within albums? I have read the autoindex instructions and they are not clear - at least to me.
Where does the autoindex template go?
Where do the existing albums get moved to or do they get moved?
Will the new albums use the settings from the publisher template or from the autoindex template?
Do I remove the existing publisher template?
How do I create a top level album? Or do I? Does it have any images in it?
How do I create a bottom level album?
I have read as much as I could find about the autoindex and I still can't figure out how to implement Iwd

I needed to change how my images were being displayed so I deleted my publisher template and uploaded a new one. I deleted my albums and then tried to create new ones. I can't create new albums because I can't specify a template on the 'create new album' screen.
#9 Re: CE4 Publisher » Error: There are no instances of CE4 Publisher to migrate to » 2014-08-07 05:17:40
OK I just re-read the instructions and I think I understand that an "instance: is a folder on the server. I am also trying to implement auto index at the same time as I upgrade. The migration instructions say: "If using CE4 Auto Index, you may use any auto index folder as your target." Since I was not using auto index before, there is no autoindex folder on my site.
I looked at the auto index plug in instructions again and there is no mention of an auto index folder. What am I missing?

How do I insert a font awesome icon into one of the Block fields? I need to provide users with instructions on using the google maps feature.
#12 Re: General » Display caption during slide show » 2013-03-24 01:45:07
It was already set to that. Just to be sure I regenerated my Publisher template and republished the Africa Highlights album on my web site: www.photos.creditech.ca
Just to confirm, this is only an issue with mobile devices.
#13 Re: General » Display caption during slide show » 2013-03-23 17:32:04
Just had my third request to be able to see captions while watching a slide show. The latest:
How do you make the slide show go and still keep your titles showing? When I touch the slide show arrow the captions disappear. I'd really like to keep seeing the captions
Hope there is something you can do. I have to tell them to watch the show on a PC or Mac.
#14 Re: General » Display caption during slide show » 2013-03-23 01:50:23
Do you mean they have to stop the slide show?
#15 Re: General » Display caption during slide show » 2013-03-22 21:39:49
Agree. Photoswipe displays the caption until the slide show starts. Then the caption disappears.

Is is possible to have the image title and / or caption display during the presentation of a slide show on a MOBILE device? It does this in Highslide presentations.
If it is not possible now, might it be an option in the future?
#17 Re: General » Slideshow behaviour » 2013-03-22 12:52:21
Just noticed another aspect if this issue. In the LR web module, the Gallery template only permits a maximum of 250 images. In Publisher, it is possible to put everything on one page so that the slideshow will include all images.
The Gallery plug in should allow for the "all on one page option."
#18 Re: General » Slideshow behaviour » 2013-03-21 07:55:50
Wished I knew that before it took a couple of hours uploading two albums.

I created a gallery ( or album) with 50 images per page. The slideshow only shows the photos on that page and doesn't continue to the photos on the next page. Doesn't seem to be appropriate. Comments?
