Hi John,

Here are two little functions that you can add to your phplugins file. First is a helper that translates urls into real links. Then there is the single_bottom() function that shows some image infos on single image pages. This function is what you want to modify so it provides the link and infos to your Fine Art America image page. As shown, you can provide the url to your sales site using metadata, caption, or you could derive it from the image filename.

Yep, the urls trick works only here on single image pages.

// Parses texts and replaces text links with real URLs. Used to display them in single-page view.
function to_url($text) {
    return preg_replace('@(http)?(s)?(://)?(([-\w]+\.)+([^\s]+)+[^,.\s])@', '<a href="http$2://$4">$1$2$3$4</a>', $text);
}

function single_bottom()
{
	if ($this->hasPhoto()) {
		echo '<p>';
		echo '<strong>Image Infos:</strong><br/>';
		echo 'Filename: '.$this->photo->getFilename().'<br/>';
		echo 'Dimensions: '.$this->photo->getPhotoWidth().'w x '.$this->photo->getPhotoHeight().'h<br/>';
		echo 'Title: '.$this->photo->getMetadata(Photo::$PHOTO_TITLE).'<br/>';
		echo 'Caption: '.to_url($this->photo->getMetadata(Photo::$PHOTO_CAPTION)).'<br/>';
		echo 'Metadata 1: '.to_url($this->photo->getMetadata("metadata_one")).'<br/>';
		echo 'Metadata 2: '.to_url($this->photo->getMetadata("metadata_two")).'<br/>';
		echo '</p>';
	}
	return true;
} 

Or you could use single image display and add your custom button/link using phplugins.

There are dedicated single_top and single_bottom functions for the single image pages.

Did you clear the template cache as well (http://yoursite.com/backlight/designer/clear_cache/)?

Unfortunately, there is still an issue on your site:

Something went wrong
Unexpected error: Unknown: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/gerarpj183/.php/php-mail.log) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/gerarpj183/domains/gerardstaals.com/:/home/gerarpj183/domains/include/:/etc/pki/tls/certs:/tmp:/var/tmp:/usr/local/lib/php/:/usr/local/php55/lib/php/) in Unknown on line 0

I think that's something for Ben to look at. I would send him your FTP access credentials.

Many hosts are discontinuing PHP version 5.x. So a good bet would be to use a 7.x version. You can try the different versions you have available and see if one of them has the exif module enabled. Otherwise contact your hosts.

These might be related: http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … 101#p58101

You can check if the exif module is installed when visiting http://mysite.com/backlight/admin/list_php_modules/

You have https configured, but you don't use a http to https redirect. This can be enabled in /backlight/admin > Privacy: Automatically Redirect Browsers To https

Here is an example where I added a custom slideshow on a gallery page: https://danielleu.com/shop/wood-panels/. This does work on any page, even if there is already a Backlight based slideshow.

More about what I did is over here: https://danielleu.com/blog/2016/07/addi … sed-pages/

AFAIK, user_function() is called by Backlight to initialize phplugins.

Why do you want to call this function?

Hi Lofty,

Using my page_match function, '/contact' selects all pages that start with '/contact'. This means that with /gallery, all your gallery pages are selected at once. That's how I use it. Since all pages start with '/', you can't use this to select the home page.

To select just the home page you might want to use:

	if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] == "/") {
		echo "home page";
	}

When I look at your site with the Facebook debugger, it reports:

Loading your site in Chrome, first shows a https connection error before being finally loading it. I'm wondering if there is an issue how your site/host manages https which could explain the Fb error as well.
