#452 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Markdown List Font Size » 2019-01-25 07:37:08
If you want the bigger font size to be the same as for the paragraph, you might add it to your custom.css as well:
.the__copy p, .the__copy li {
font-size: 16pt;
}#453 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Markdown List Font Size » 2019-01-25 07:29:02
It appears that my custom.css/custom2.css coding has no effect on this issue.
Have a look at line 2 of custom2.css:
.the__copy p {
font-size: 16pt;
}#454 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Markdown List Font Size » 2019-01-25 01:42:08
The text for an unordered list is smaller than the text in the rest of the copy
That's because you changed your font size in custom.css and custom2.css:
.the__copy p {
font-size: 16pt;
}It might be a good idea to consolidate your two custom.css files in one, unless there is a good reason to have two. But then I would eliminate duplicate settings.
#456 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Backlight base color - gradient? » 2019-01-24 07:04:32
Please try without space between gradient and '(':
html, body, main {
background: linear-gradient(180deg, #ffffff, #323232);

Hi,
Some french accents are replaced by a question mark.
Example : "passage piéton" replaced by "passage pi?ton"
you can see that on : http://test.f-comme-photo.fr/galleries/ … single.php
This title is written in the IPTC field.
Is it possible to do something ?Thank you
I can reproduce this when I use the new Backlight Publisher module. Using Lr Publisher works well.
#458 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Backlight base color - gradient? » 2019-01-24 06:37:39
I'm still floundering here.
I created a minimal custom css file - basically just what Rod posted, with different hex color values.
Uploaded it to the css folder inside Backlight's directory.
Then from Publisher, edited the page template, enabling Use Custom Stylesheet & selected my .css file.But no change - looks like the settings in the Color panel still determine the background. What am I missing?
John
Hi John, do you have a link to your page? Thanks!

Oops, sorry I need still more help. Where do I enter this text - is it possible thru the Backlight interface, or ???

Did you do Backlight Admin > Special Links > Update Album Files?

Do you know what error message you were seeing? If so, please copy and paste it here.
Hi Ben,

ok thanks and the postage?
No. You have three options: All Regions, US, International. At least these are the options for me being in the US.
#463 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Should I install Backlight 2 in my photos folder on the server » 2019-01-18 03:17:30
The PHP version is 7.2.14 so that shouldn't be the current problem. It looks like I'll have to re-create all of the templates.
The PHP language evolved and versions 7+ introduced some changes that break backwards compatibility. That's why your CE4 installation is broken. The easiest way to revive your CE4 based albums is to downgrade to a previous PHP version.
#464 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Should I install Backlight 2 in my photos folder on the server » 2019-01-18 03:15:04
The only Lightroom plug-in Backlight uses is the TTG Publisher plugin. The Web Module and all those web engine plugins are no longer used. All designing is done online in the Backlight interface. Much faster, much easier.
And Backlight doesn't depend on Lightroom since you can upload images using the web interface.
#465 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Should I install Backlight 2 in my photos folder on the server » 2019-01-17 10:30:03
Most likely, the site is broken because your host changed the php version. If you log into the cpanel, you should be able to set it manually to 5.6.
Templates need to be redone. But this is so much easier now with Backlight.
Backlight can update all your existing Publisher based albums. That should be easy. Once you have Backlight, you will notice that designing your page and maintaining it is so much easier than with CE4.
#466 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Wrap text around photo » 2019-01-17 09:22:53
Rod,
Thanks but the "clear" property does not seem to be doing it's magic. Here is a link to the site if you have enough patience and would like to take a look. My goal is to have the contact form on the "about" page fall underneath the picture regardless of the browser width.
It looks like your texteditor did beautify your double quotes... You need to use regular double quotes.
“clear:left;”vs
"clear:left;" /* correct version*/#467 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Should I install Backlight 2 in my photos folder on the server » 2019-01-17 06:15:08
I just found the original email and according to Matt's instructions to me:
Instructions for upgrading from CE4 are here:
http://backlight.theturninggate.net/doc … acklight_2This page says, "Unzip the Backlight 2 installer into a CE4 site...."
But I have a folder named "photog" with an autoindex and several "sites" within it. To better understand this, can you tell me, does Backlight 2 replace the ttg-be folder contents? Can I delete ttg-be after conversion? If I install it on the root folder how does it know to link to the "photog" folder contents?
Charles
/ttg_be folder will be replaced by /backlight. But don't delete ttg_be until backlight is up and running. In Backlight, you can create a new top-level gallery called /photog where you will place your photo albums. I assume that with 'sites' you meant photo albums.
Do you have a link to your current site?
#468 Re: General » Challenges logging in to Customer Site » 2019-01-17 02:11:51
Send an email to Matt. He'll help you.
#469 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Should I install Backlight 2 in my photos folder on the server » 2019-01-17 02:09:25
The root level is the right place.
#470 Re: Backlight 2 Support » no masthead on large image display + side swipping images » 2019-01-16 08:29:24
On most displays, you should have to scroll down a bit to see the whole image. I think no masthead and no breadcrumbs might be a solution.
All computers around me show the entire image without a need to scroll. So it might not affect that many.
#471 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Upgraded CE4 to BL2 and cannot publish » 2019-01-15 07:20:32
Then you need to add the rewrite code to the .html file in the root of the site. Fortunately, there's an awesome new feature in the recently updated Backlight 2 (2.0.5). In Settings > Privacy, you'll see a setting to "Automatically Redirect Browsers To https"
I'm certain that Rod meant to write .htaccess instead of .html. But as he mentioned, since yesterday's 2.0.5 update, this can be enabled in the backend settings.
#472 Re: Backlight Support » Slow Backlight » 2019-01-15 04:48:01
Looks like there is a performance issue accessing the database. I would suggest to send an email to Ben with your Backlight and FTP logins/passwords and a link to this thread so he can further analyze this.
#473 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Annoying red progress line in top of screen with slideshow » 2019-01-15 00:48:44
I thought there was a setting to disable it.... at least there is still custom.css:
.fancybox-progress {
display: none!important;
}#474 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Unusual Error message » 2019-01-12 04:07:53
1. Is there a big problem deleting albums from BL2?
This would mean that Lr and Backlight would not be in sync anymore. If possible, I would remove the albums from Lr. If you don't publish from a given year anymore and therefore don't care about the Lr Publisher state, you can delete the albums from Backlight.
2. Is there any problem with deleting albums using my FTP software? I'm using Filezilla and it seems rather straight forward. Your thoughts!
Backlight 2 is database driven. So never delete albums with FTP, always use backlight/admin or lightroom to delete albums.
#475 Re: CE4 Publisher » Unable to upload from CE4 Publisher in LR Cassic CC » 2019-01-12 02:05:22
Just be aware, that some hosts started to phase out 5.6... so it might be just a matter of time until 5.6 is no longer supported.
