Moved up from CRG 603 to 604. Transfered /application, /admin, /lib, directories to server and now can't login to ttg-be admin. Error in Chrome and Firefox says I have a redirect loop. Cleared cache, cookies etc. No go. Anyone else seeing this?

#253 Re: CE4 Gallery » Title vs Caption vs Filename » 2015-02-08 07:45:09

Republishing fixed it. Now the $64,000 question...can I concatenate {filename} and {title} in the cart item name??? Trying it now.... Actually, that works, if I put {Filename} {Title} in custom text for cart item name, that's how it appears in the cart which is kinda cool.

For what it's worth here's another look at an autoindex page with a bunch of Stage videos. Disclaimer: I obviously not much of a videographer, but I'm working on it. http://www.markhoffmanphotography.com/g … /index.php

I have large image magnific working with the images title and nothing else appearing under it, which is exactly what I want. But I want the images Filename to appear in the cart. It isn't. Title isappearing there instead. In the Image info panel I have Title set to Title, Caption turned off. Cart Item Name set to Filename. In the output setting panel I have the same. What am I missing to get the Filename to appear in the cart and not the title. Or better yet can I get both title and filename to appear in the cart but not in the large image magnific?

#257 Re: CE4 Theme for WordPress » Image borders in WordPress » 2015-01-31 22:31:47

That's where the custom.css file is. But in relation to the server root it would be something like this: home/markho/public_html/blog.photophart.com/wp-content/themes/TTGCE4_WPBlog/phplugins/css/custom.css   Which I tried adding to phplugins custom css path. But that doesn't seem to work.

#258 Re: CE4 Theme for WordPress » Image borders in WordPress » 2015-01-31 21:35:16

...so I did that. But it seems my custom.css file is not being seen in WordPress. I know this because I added the "page body red" trick to the custom.css and it doesn't happen. I export the TTG4 Them for wordpess from lightroom as a "child" theme in WP so I don't lose customizations I've made within WP whenever I upload a new version of the TTG4 theme. This has been working well for me. Phplugins is enabled and is controlling my site wide menu and my custom footer. Custom.css is enabled in the phplugins file.  What I'm wondering is why the custom.css isn't being seen? Seems that in WP, child themes are linked to the main theme by a style.css file that just provides a link to style.css in the child theme. Should I maybe also be providing a link to the custom.css? Like I said, WordPress is not my strong point.

Thanks for this one Rod. I played with the caption/border business a while ago and gave up because of my tiny (but growing) knowledge of WordPress. Baby steps to big steps. Big steps to great leaps. Great leaps to falling off a cliff. At least that's how I do it.

Absolutely fascinating. Like looking at macro photos of snowflakes except the saturation sliders have all been pushed way up!

#261 Re: CE4 Publisher » Publisher stripping keywords? » 2015-01-27 22:41:26

Ben, 220b fixed the problem nicely. I haven't used Access in many years either, but I remember with fondness and hatred the challenge of database normalization and the strange beauty of relational table design. Anyway, thanks again.

#262 Re: CE4 Publisher » Publisher stripping keywords? » 2015-01-27 22:20:06

Ben, many thanks. That clears up some items that were mysterious for me. SQL databases are not completely foreign to me: in a former life I had intimate dealings with creating Microsoft Access databases and Access is just a really fancy SQL interpreter. I'm grabbing the DL now and will give it a whirl.
Thanks again
Mark

#263 Re: CE4 Publisher » Publisher stripping keywords? » 2015-01-27 21:04:50

Hi Ben, As a test I completely deleted and republished an album. There are many keywords in this album that aren't being found. Site is http://www.photophart.com. A an album called 10000 Square Meters is the one just republished in its entirety. A search for the word "fungi" should return several images. It doesn't. I was unaware that keywords were being written to a proprietary database which, of course, explains why I can't see them. What about the checkbox for "write keywords as LR heirarchy"? Should that be checked or not?
Regards Mark

#264 Re: CE4 Publisher » Publisher stripping keywords? » 2015-01-27 19:50:44

The plot thickens. I publish all metadata and have done the same album with and without "write keywords as lightroom hierarchy" and "remove location information" checked. Either the keywords are being stripped or publisher is broken. Search function in the website will not find photos that are supposedly being published with all metadata. Worse, other metadata is not being published including contact information and headline (which I use to hold my pricing scheme). This was working perfectly in previous publisher and was what prompted me to become much more diligent in my use of keywords in all photos. As I said before, when I export an album of photos to my desktop as jpgs the metadata, including keywords, is there. When I publish that same album to my website the metadata is gone. The only thing I haven't tried is publishing without the "all metadata" setting.

Hi, there are a lot of threads here on search and keywords and I think I've read most of them this evening. But when I publish an album of photos that I know have many keywords associated with the photos, subsequent searches within the published galleries won't find them. I understand that LR must have the keywords set as exportable, and they are. When I examine the published photos with , say Bridge or Photo Mechanic the keywords that were there in LR are gone from the published versions. Does anyone know of some esoteric setting in LR that I might have missed that is killing keyword exporting? Or is publisher really the culprit? If I just export the photos in question to my desktop as jpegs the keywords are there.

Rod, thanks for the quick catch on this one. I've been using the template hacking trick ever since Matt posted it so most everything should match.
Regards, Mark

#267 Re: CE4 Client Response Gallery » CRG legend covers Masthead and navigation » 2015-01-25 11:13:07

And there you have it. Fixed! Did I loose anything vital by having it not share resources with pages?
Mark

#268 Re: CE4 Client Response Gallery » CRG legend covers Masthead and navigation » 2015-01-25 11:05:45

Right you are. I've fixed the wrong template. Having another go at it now.

I like Creepy House but I've never heard of those cars. However, most people today have never heard of an Edsel either.

Hi Rod, I unchecked share resources with TTG pages, exported the template, ftp'd it to the server. Seems the strangeness still exists.
Thanks Mark

#271 Re: CE4 Client Response Gallery » CRG legend covers Masthead and navigation » 2015-01-25 10:28:45

Perhaps I should clarify a bit. I Have single column set up in the block. But what is appearing over the masthead appears to be the default legend from the double column set up in the CRG module in lightroom.

When a client logs in to a CRG gallery the CRG legend at the top of the screen appears vertically on the right side of screen and the Masthead and navigation are covered by a large black rectangle that occupies the top of the screen. Only way out then is to close the browser.

Clients are setup in TTG-be CRG admin. Gallery is assigned to the client. Tried enabling and disabling password in publisher. Deleted gallery and republished. Here's a link to the gallery login screen: http://www.marks-photos.com/ttg-be/crg/?album_id=80767  User= me@me.com   Password=me.  Must be something simple I've missed because it usually is.
