Community @ The Turning Gate

The default shadows are subtle in that their purpose is to ensure that white UI elements remain visible against light areas in underlying photos. They are simply a tool for legibility, such as in this example:

Nice looking site, Thom.

I have one piece of feedback, though, and it's that the navigation menu is very difficult to read, being white on tan. I'd use higher contrast colors to improve legibility.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to insert HTML into album title or description, or image titles or captions. This is due to a variety of limitations, such as code structure, data sourcing (from Lightroom's metadata, for example), and in how we use this information (oftentimes in places where HTML cannot be embeddings, such as in IMG alt attributes, the document's TITLE element, social media Open Graph Protocol, etc.)

You can disable the breadcrumbs. Or you can implement some custom jQuery to move them elsewhere on the page. But the built-in options won't do what you're asking about. The gallery presentation and the breadcrumbs are separate components on the page.

By "... current latest versions of Backlight and its add-ons," I was of course referring to Backlight 2.

Might be that I'm tired, but I'm not quite following this. What's going on on the page/album without PHPlugins, and then what does the PHPlugins function look like?

It's been a little while, but revisiting this issue to see where we stand on things. I am NOT seeing this issue in our examples of Cart or Client Response here on The Turning Gate, running the current latest versions of Backlight and its add-ons.

Anyone else?

I've just written a helper script in our working code to solve this. Ended up being a bit more complicated than I was originally thinking, but it should do the job.

  - if hitting a single-image page from the gallery, no change. The Back button will return to gallery.

  - if hitting a single-image page from a page-embedded gallery, Back button will return to the page.

  - if previous, and navigating to next or previous image, track the original referrer using a URL parameter. The Back button will return to the page.

  - if referrer is an outside address, the Back button will behave as a Close button, and will return to the gallery (i.e. clicking a link to image page on Facebook, the Back button will NOT return  the traveler to Facebook).

This should go out with the next update.

If you had Theater for Backlight 1, then the version for Backlight 2 is also a free upgrade using the discount code we sent you.

Can you provide a link to your videos?

The button is only supposed to be there when a caption needs it, which is when the caption overflows a single line. Recent changes to Fancybox have required some rewriting in this area; last I looked at it, it was passing my tests. But if it's exhibiting buggy behavior, then it will need another pass. Examples would be helpful.
