Hi, Daniel,
Yes, I used the PayPal Sandbox Username, password and signature, and run several tests. They all went ok. But having trouble changing to Live API. I can't seem to find the PayPal LIVE API password and signature. I was directed by Ben to get them in PAYPALS REST API option. When I go there this option asks you to generate an APP. And the APP gives you a couple keys. With those keys you're supposed to generate a Token through another app called Postman. I got all the way there, but can't seem to find how to use this token to get the LIVE API password and signature I need to input in the Carts settings. Did I explain myself? I spent hours since yesterday trying to do this but haven't been able successfully to get those Live API password and signature I need.
Hello,
After hours trying to get my website's cart up and running since yesterday, I managed to, through Paypal's REST API, create a REST API app, then with it generate a couple keys, and through a Postman APP, generate a REST Token with those keys. Following Paypals documentation and countless forums, etc. Its unbelievable how convoluted all this is. But, what do I do with that REST Token? Where do I get the Live API password and signature for my cart settings?
Please help. SOS.
Many thanks!
Alex
never mind, found it, thanks!
Ok. Got it, done, many thanks!
ok. I see. Could you please point me in the right direction on where do I need to change those colors? I imagine in the template, I've been searching there and changing them to vivid colors to see if the button appears, but I can't seem to find where. Thank you!

Hello,
I created a backlight cart gallery following BL documentation, but it appears one or more buttons are not visible. If I hover the cursor on certain areas I can see I can click there and add the print to the cart, but the button is not visible. How can I fix this please?

Hi, I logged in to my host provider 1&1, and im getting a message that my PHP version 5.4 is outdated on my domains. That I can either extend support on that version or update it. I just wanted to check, as all the websites I have were built with Backlight or CE4, is it safe to update the pho version without affecting any of my websites functionality?
Many thanks!

Ok. Thanks, Ben. This paypal api thing is rather confusing. It would be amazing to have a short video tutorial on how to get those api's.
Ok. How can I tag him or send him a message? Thank you Rob.
Hi, Rob,
I'm trying to follow the BL documentation, but having trouble getting the PAYPAL API's. I get this 4 options and don't know which to select. The first one asks for a third party username permission. Could you point me in the right direction please? Thanks!

Hi, please help!
I went through the PayPal API Credentials documentation on Backlight's TTG, and it seems it might have changed, as I get these four options (the first option asks for a third party permission username. Which one would it be?, thanks!:

Hi,
Im trying to build a cart template following TTG Backlight docs, and it reads: "either create a new template or clone an existing template of type “Backlight Standard Album”." But, when I create a new template I only have the Pangolin Album, Pangolin Galleria and Pangolin Theatre Type options, no “Backlight Standard Album” available.
How can I get that option type?
Thanks you!
Got it! Thank you!
Where can I check that Rod? Ive been doing it watching your videos and reading the docs, but can't find about that. Thanks
Hi, again, i set up my website using a full screen vegas slideshow template, and its working if I click on the Home link in the navigation bar: http://alexojeda.com/home/
But somehow it goes to a different template or page if I go to http://alexojeda.com/ without the /home/ after the website link.
How can I change this please so it goes to the same full screen slideshow on both?
Thanks you!

What do I need to do to make each album I publish go to other pages, like Photo Galleries, Fine Art print Galleries, etc? Where do I specify where the album should be?
For Photo and Video Galleries, you have to create separate Lr Publisher instances. In Publisher settings, you can select the respective top-level gallery (eg, photogalleries instead of galleries).
many thanks, Daniel!

Hello. I'm fine tuning a Backlight website that I built, and staring another, and have the following question. I remember with CE3, etc we could input some keywords that would be on the blind header of the website, so those would be used to index the site by google, etc, and for people searching for it. Where does one input those keywords in Backlight?
Many thanks,
Alex
Rob, how do I add a page besides Home, Contact and About, if im already using those 3?
Thanks!
The way im thinking of it would be in the Pages Menu, where contact, Home, etc, one would be Location, and inside this page the embedded google map. Many thanks, Rob!
Hi, How can I create a page inside Backlight that has a google map embedded in it. So when a client clicks on it it will open in google maps.
