I think the link from CE4 to fotomoto is hard coded as http instead of https which causes a problem since you can't include content from an insecure site in a secure one. I had the same issue with Backlight and youtube videos.
Clearing the template cache usually works for me to get rid of weird display issues, but I have seen similar behavior.
If you go into backlight/publisher/top level galleries/galleries/albums you can delete albums there if removing them via Lightroom didn't work. I've had to do that a couple of times and, so far, no ill effects.
You can change the button color in the typography section of your template.
Start with templates to get the look you want and then pages to manage the content. It's really a different paradigm than CE4 and once I stopped thinking about the way CE4 worked it was much easier, at least for me. fwiw
Gotcha. I'll have to think about what kind of maintenence issues that will cause me. Not a big deal since I do have time on my hands, but I'm a retired coder and it bothers me to have a number of similar files to keep track of.
Thanks yet again, plenty to think about.
Thanks. Like I said, my masthead uses phplugins so I can't use a template without them. I'll take a look at the custom CSS route or just forget about the button altogether. ;-) I also have some videos where I don't want the button either so it might end up being more trouble than it's worth since I really don't want a back link just a link to go to the top of the page, which I did using . instead of ../.
Thanks again for the ideas.
I use phplugins for my masthead, among other things. How do I access the template type in phplugins?
Is there a way in phplugins to tell whether it's a gallery or a slideshow? I have a slideshow on my home page and don't want/need a back button there.
Thanks.
The wordpress theme allows you to integrate your blog into your website with the same look and feel, menus, masthead, etc.
It looks like there is a fotomoto script in the templates but since I don't use CE4 anymore I'm reluctant to give advice on what to change.
Looking at the page source I can see the the link to fotomoto is hard coded with http:// so that's why it doesn't work. I also see some http:// references to links in your own domain which may cause you problems. I don't have CE4 any more but you may be able to grep for the fotomoto link and change it yourself, I had to do something similar for youtube in Backlight.
Looks fine to me from Chrome on OS/X, did you clear your template cache after making changes? I've found weird things sometimes happen when you don't.
slideshow works for me on chrome in OS/X. Also in Safari. Maybe you just need to clear browser cache?
FWIW, I changed the "http://" in the file /module-theater/fragments/video_youtube.php to "https://" and it works for both http and https sites.
I posted this issue on another topic dealing with https which I probably shouldn't have:
The iframe links to youtube and vimeo are hardcoded to http://www.youtube.com, etc, so when trying to display video from within an iframe on an https site it generates a mixed content error and won't display. Since both youtube and vimeo can be accessed via https would it be better to hardcode https rather than http, or just not include http since youtube will default to https anyway?
an example is: https://stalkinglight.com/galleries/vid … -solstice/
Thanks.
I also tested vimeo videos with the same result and error, plays fine in http but not in https. It seems that somewhere http://youtube or vimeo is hard coded and the https site doesn't like the insecure content. I think I've changed all the settings in backlight and lightroom to https so not sure where to go from here. Video isn't that important to me now but when I get my Mavic Pro that might change. ;-)
Right now I have http and https virtual servers but would like to get rid of the http ones.
Thanks.
I have both http and https enabled on my site for transition purposes and the videos I have added as tests play fine in http but don't play at all in https?
An example is https://stalkinglight.com/galleries/vid … -solstice/

In Lightroom, when you create or edit the album, there is a 'cover image' dialog on the first page. The default is 'random' but you can select a specific image in the album from the drop down menu.
Image Settings/Image Metadata/Photos Caption works for adding metadata to the single image pages I use.
No problems with the homepage slideshow on my LAMP server either.
It's in the 'Page Setup' section of your template.
Also works fine in Safari on my iMac and iPhone...
Shows up when I look at it, maybe you just need to clear caches.
very nice feature
