Have solved the issue. Put simply, it was operator error. I was quite a bit behind in updates of TTG modules. I was running an older version of pages and a couple other things. Basically I did a new export of all the TTG plugins that are used on the site, then FTP'd them to the server. All seems well now. "One must remain current or the world will pass you by", my grandfather used to say. Thanks for all the replies though. Nice that everyone always seems willing to help this dough head.

Albums were all working correctly.
Have not tried FTP because its so stone age.
Albums use different templates.
Some templates have no music player, same behavior.
Perplexing. No?

To answer My own question: just uploaded a fresh copy of publisher and have my site back running. But... It's still missing the controls above and on the left and right of the large images within all my galleries. Because this problem is affecting all galleries I figured the problem must be fairly close to the root directory, like ttg-be or publisher. Or maybe it is something subtle. Subtle enough that I'll feel foolish when I finally find it or have it shown to me. Any ideas?

Updated a a couple of galleries and found that the contros such as close, previous, next and cart were missing from my magnific popups. Figured I must have missed uploading an update to TTG cart or TTG be. So I started by uploading a fresh version of ttg-be/framework. Obviously the wrong choice as when I try and go to http://www.markhoffmanphotography.com I get this error:
SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1 no such table: album|#0 /home/markho6/public_html/ttg-be/framework/dao/PdoExtended.php(520): PDO->prepare('select a.*, pr....') #1 /home/markho6/public_html/ttg-be/framework/dao/PdoExtended.php(156): PdoExtended->_prepareAndExecuteSqlQuery('select a.*, pr....', Array) #2 /home/markho6/public_html/ttg-be/framework/dao/GenericDAO.php(75): PdoExtended->selectRows('select a.*, pr....', Array) #3 /home/markho6/public_html/ttg-be/publisher/application/dao/AlbumDAO.php(168): GenericDAO->getAllItems(Array) #4 /home/markho6/public_html/ttg-be/publisher/application/controllers/GalleryController.php(179): AlbumDAO->getAllAlbums(Array) #5 [internal function]: GalleryController->anywhere('pages-gallery', 'index', '') #6 /home/markho6/public_html/ttg-be/framework/controllers/Controller.php(41): call_user_func_array(Array, Array) #7 /home/markho6/public_html/ttg-be/framework/Framework.php(124): Controller->dispatch(Array) #8 /home/markho6/public_html/lib.php(48): Framework->route() #9 /home/markho6/public_html/index.php(3): route(Array) #10 {main}|URL: /index.php
Just a wild guess but I'm betting I may be starting over with a fresh copy of ttg-be (hope not) to fix this. Ideas?

No Matt, Thank YOU! My website would be a hack-job without your products.
Mark
Beautiful!
My conversion from CE3 to CE4 is pretty much finished. The look and feel are similar to the old site with a couple of
new and wonderful things you can't see on the surface. My favorite new feature is, of course, the ability to alter the home page gallery from publisher. No need to re-upload a whole new site to change the photos. Currently I have five groups of photos that I swap in and out of the home page just to brighten up the look from time to time.
Phplugins remains a major aspect of the site. I use it for universal navigation and to load or not load
my music players depending on the gallery (that part is done with a different version of phplugins in
each of the four or five templates that publisher uses).
For no particular reason other than a whim, my blog is setup as a subdomain and you'll notice the navigation menu there changes a bit though color scheme and feel of the blog vs. the site are very similar (as they should be! Right?).
Matt and crew have done an amazing job of crafting the different TTG modules that fit together like fine machine parts.
For this site I have used TTG pages, autoindex, gallery, stage, theme for Wordpress, cart, publisher, and,
of course, the new and powerful TTG-BE. Rod's insight and suggestions have been invaluable, Daniel's code suggestions
were also dead on. Thanks also to the support community at TTG where lots of helpful stuff was gleaned.
I'm still a bit blown away by Ben's cart every time I see it work.
So, you're thinking: "Doesn't this guy have anything bad to say? Surely it can't all be great?"
I don't, and it is. Either url will take you to the other.

Amazing diversity, all tied together nicely. Impressive!

Have spent the last day or so intermittently attempting to get text centered in a block description using markdown in the lightroom web module. Best advice I could find in web searches was to add arrows at each end of the text to be centered: ->This is centered<-. The arrows do not produce the desired effect. Does anyone know how or if this can be done in markdown?
OK. One more. Then I'll quit. Tried the "Big Hammer" approach with this:
.album-mantle {
-moz-box-shadow: 7px 7px 7px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
-webkit-box-shadow: 7px 7px 7px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
box-shadow: 7px 7px 7px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
-moz-border-radius-topleft: 7px;
-moz-border-radius-topright: 7px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomright: 7px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 7px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 7px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius: 7px;
-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 7px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 7px;
border-top-left-radius: 7px;
border-top-right-radius: 7px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 7px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 7px;
}
Sadly, still have the missing bottom corners.
Continuation: Can't leave well enough alone because tinkering is fun, I tried this:
.album-mantle {
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;
with absolutely no effect on the missing corners.
Thanks very much Pfredd. Exactly (almost) what I was looking for. However, that troublesome lower right corner is still missing, at least in Firefox, and Chrome. It's the lower left corner in Safari. I guess that since Apples and PCs have been at odds since day one this reverse behavior fits the standard model of the universe;-)
Hmmm, was just fooling around with that radius code. That missing lower right corner is weird. Would I be correct in assuming I could use similar code in custom.css to add drop shadow to the descriptive album listings?
Mark
Bingo! Captcha plugin was the culprit. Disabled plugin. All fixed. For future reference this was Secureimage-WP by Drew Phillips, in case others run into this issue. Many thanks guys.
Mark
Been chasing this one for a couple of days and am currently stumped. My main page is post excerpts with a sidebar on the right. Works fine. Clicking on an excerpt to read further opens the post in a single post page that also has a sidebar associated with it but that sidebar is pushed to the bottom of the single post page leaving the right side of the page vacant. No doubt this is something simple but I'm something of a Wordpress noob. Have tried creating different sidebars for the single post page and using the home page sidebar but that doesn't seem to make any difference. TIA
Mark
That's what I did. Working great now.
Thanks Daniel. I went back over what I had done and pasted in a new copy of your code from my code library. Changed the CE3's to CE4's and presto! All better. No idea what I did to the code I had in there but obviously something I did was wrong.
Mark
Nice!
CE4 is cool so far but I'm not too keen on the fact that breadcrumbs absorbs the style of the block. So I've tried and partially succeeded in using the old style phplugins code. I've changed the G STYLE statements to reflect CE4 not CE3 and this works pretty well except for the trailing entry in the breadcrumbs trail which comes up with the name of the file being opened ("index" usually) and not the name of the directory that its in. Like this: Home>>Gallery>>index, instead of Home>>Gallery>>GalleryName. I assume it has something to do with the new CE4 G STYLE identifiers which aren't listed yet or am I way off base?
Mark
Have spent the afternoon fooling around with the new CE4 pages and like it so far. But...in CE3 I used form-to-email-pro with my contact form which allowed me all sorts of flexibility and power. Specifically the power of captcha which worked very very well to halt mail bots and other cascades of garbage that filled the form and sent it to me. Will there by chance be a way of adding captcha codes to the new CE4 contact form? Or perhaps a way of still using form-to-email. PHPlugins comes to mind but building something via that avenue is probably a bit beyond me.
Thanks Mark
