You need to submit the form.  This is to confirm that you intend to leave the fields empty.

Hi Morten and Rod, I've emailed you both an updated copy of the Publisher LR plugin that should fix this issue.  Please try it out and let me know how you go.
I found that I had already added code intended to correctly handle the metadata setting between renditions, but due to a subtle error it wasn't correctly restoring the value.

Hi Bren, the idea of that default digital product is that it can't be altered or deleted (other than changing the name).  That's what's strange about the path being different.  There's no straightforward way of deleting it either.

Is this a new cart installation, or an upgrade from an older version?  There was a similar issue with virtual products that cropped up for some users during an upgrade a year or so ago.  I wasn't able to find the cause.

I meant to say, that I can perform those steps for you if they seem too complicated.  I can also delete the product if you want.  To do so, I would need the TTG BE admin login details, either by personal message or Email (link under my photo).  If that works for you, you might want to change the admin password to something you can share before sending it.

Hi Bren,  this is likely something to do with the cart not being able to find the digital purchases.  Can you check via FTP whether the files in photos-for-purchase are there?  The filenames should correspond exactly with the names in photos, e.g. there should be a file http://www.topshotstudio.com.au/galleri … AN9537.jpg that corresponds with http://www.topshotstudio.com.au/galleri … AN9537.jpg

I'm also wondering if the filename starting with an underscore is causing an issue.  Can you try uploading a photo with a name that doesn't start with an underscore, and see whether you can add that to the cart?

The resolvedPath() function in ttg-be/framework/helpers/URLHelper.php does not take the port into consideration. 
I've added a fix in my working copy, however this likely won't be released for quite a while (we try to avoid updating the TTG BE framework unless absolutely necessary).  In the mean time, you can get this working by editing ttg-be/framework/helpers/URLHelper.php and adding this line:

$resolvedURL .= $parsedURL['port'] ? ':'.$parsedURL['port'] : '';

immediately below this line (on line 225):

$resolvedURL = $parsedURL['scheme'] ? $parsedURL['scheme'].'://'.$parsedURL['host'] : '';

so that it reads like this:

$resolvedURL = $parsedURL['scheme'] ? $parsedURL['scheme'].'://'.$parsedURL['host'] : '';
$resolvedURL .= $parsedURL['port'] ? ':'.$parsedURL['port'] : '';

Hi Dan, are you running the latest version of the cart? Can you provide me with guest admin access?

As Daniel said.  Take a look at http://whatwant.ca/ben-photog/ now.

Here's how Publisher looks:

WildWood index:

WildWood 2012 (using your '2003' template.  You'd be better off just leaving the Title in and letting Publisher set it):

Hi Charles,

Thanks for the login.  I have published a set of 27 galleries at http://whatwant.ca/ben-photog/
Based on your earlier post, each of these 9 album sets have three albums, 'Album 1', 'Album 2', and 'Album 3':
whatwant.ca/ben-photog/WildWood/
                                                  /2014
                                                  /2013
                                                  /2012
whatwant.ca/ben-photog/nature/
                                             /boulevards
                                             /butterflies
                                             /gardens
whatwant.ca/ben-photog/zoo/
                                         /2014
                                         /2013
                                         /2012

Steps to create these:

1. Setup a single Publisher instance with Top-Level Gallery Directory set to ben-photog

2. Right-click the publisher instance and create three Album Sets, named WildWood, Nature and Zoo.

3. Right-click each of those three Album Sets, and create the three child album sets for each (e.g. 2012, 2013, 2014 under WildWood)

4. Right-click each of those 9 album sets and create three albums, Album 1, Album 2, Album 3.

5. Drag one image into each of the 27 album sets (the Albums all look similar because I only used three images, each nine times)

6. Select each of the three top-level Album Sets, clicking 'Publish' for each

7. Right-click every Album Set and select one of the child photos as a Cover Image for each

8. Copy all of the files under ttg-be/templates/autoindex/WildWood Auto Index into ben-photog (so that you can view the top-level album sets at http://whatwant.ca/ben-photog/)

Is that the kind of end-result you are looking for?

I noticed that you have many different Gallery templates, one for each of the WildWood years.  Templates are intended to be re-used.  You could create the entire structure with one Auto Index template and one Gallery template, setting the page copy and title in the Publisher Album/Set settings.  If you're after a different appearance for each branch (e.g. WildWood, it's child Album Sets and child Albums) then you would create three Album Set templates and three Album templates, one Album Set and Album template pair for each branch.

Below is a partial screenshot of what Publisher looks like after creating these.  Let me know if you'd like further explanation on the steps taken.

Hi Bernhard, this isn't currently possible with the cart.
I've looked at the code, and it should be possible to override the cart language setting.  The more difficult aspect would be handling the user flow for selecting a language.  The customer is presented with a gallery, and there would need to be a link to the cart to change the language, however you wouldn't want the customer to be taken to the cart in the process of changing the language.

I do have a few items on my to-do list for the cart (and publisher), but don't see having the resources to make any updates within the next month or two.

Hi Dave,  this could be difficult to work out.  Have you by any chance uploaded CE3 Publisher files into ttg-be/publisher?
I ask, because this special URL http://galleries.photolens.co.uk/Photo_ … mate/?data that is meant to show the data structure of the gallery does not do so.  This is the kind of information that link should show: http://somethingchanged.com/photos/mt-lofty/?data

The most straightforward way to look into this would be for me to see the TTG files you have on your server.  Can you setup FTP access and email me the access details? (using the Email link under my picture)

It shouldn't be so difficult.  Assuming you were starting from scratch, to create a structure like that:

1. Create a single Publisher instance with photog as the top-level gallery directory
2. Create Album Sets for WildWood, nature, zoo, etc.
(3. Optionally, create further Album Sets within those album sets as needed, e.g. 2014, 2015, etc.)
4. Create Albums as needed in the Album sets created in steps 2. and 3.

Have you tried that approach?  If so, where did it not work as you'd expect?
