Yep, I already get the newsletter if that's what you mean.
I don't have any action in mind... Just spit-balling the idea that maybe we could hook something up to notify us of individual module updates (I'm looking at you, CRG).
I love the heck out of the Client Response Galleries. They streamline my workflow, empower my clients, and provide additional sales.
However, the "little flag" color label often goes unseen by my clients.
The primary reason given is that they only render in the thumbnail grid, and most of my clients simple glance over the grid before diving into the images themselves (in the lightbox theater-mode).
No color labels in theater mode means they miss my communications (usually the color labels mark "the photographer's favorite takes" but sometimes they are used to mark group decisions, draft-levels, multiple photographers' image groupings, virtual copies with editing variations, etc; they are truly indispensable little colored flags!)
So, A) Is there any way to indicate color labels on a border- or padding-level in theater mode?
and B) Could color labels become border- or padding-level tints instead of little colored flags?
Here's an example: https://kennethbenjaminreed.com/_PROOFI … ond-draft/
This is a second draft (originally 800+ shots, reduced to 86) showing the clients first-draft picks (green) and my first-draft picks (red).
Is there any way to get notifications for updates to /backlight/admin/list_modules/?
An email or something along the line of https://ifttt.com/applets/193786p-websi … ifications would be cool.
Further, can PHPlugins hook into IFTTT? Are there any examples of this in use?
Thanks again, Rod. I consider this topic resolved!
I hear ya; moving it is a pretty low priority. It's not that bad where it is!
Now, giving that counter some kind of brief, explanatory text... that's what I really need to figure out.
Here’s the test album: https://kennethbenjaminreed.com/_PROOFI … crg-album/
I've removed the unnecessary CSS, too.
CSS syntax resolved; now for trying to move it to the left...
Agreed; that's why I'm only wanting to have two: No logos, titles or anything else up there besides a persistent pair of uber-simple buttons.
All the confusion has come from mobile users, in fact!
They tell me they just didn't think of that counter/button as anything but a counter, so my thought was to have the two buttons on the top/outermost corners (so they stay as much out of the way as possible) while also following the user down the page.
The next thing I need to figure out is a way to have the browser ask "are you sure you want to leave? you haven't submitted your choices!" if people still don't understand that last, crucial step.
If you have any suggestions, I'd love to give that a try. Paired up with my other thread, the goal is to have two buttons- one at the top left and one at the top right of the proofing page: one button with the gallery help text and this one that says submit choices or something similar.
I'd still use the gallery text to remind them to click on the "submit choices" button once they've made their choices, but I think the problem is that some people assume the button is merely an image counter; I think giving that button text would alleviate this confusion.
How to do this with jquery, though...
Sorry for the delay in responding, but thanks Rod! That worked great; any suggestions on getting it to hug the upper left corner of the page?
I'm also struggling with using your custom CSS suggestion to hide the old help button.
Here is my active CSS file: https://kennethbenjaminreed.com/backlig … oofing.css
Ah, dang. That's exactly what I've been doing.
Hello everyone!
I've really enjoyed the features of Backlight 2, especially in comparison to CE4. As someone with only the most remedial understanding of web design, I run into (self-inflicted) errors all the time. This current backend makes it so much easier to try things out and just "tinker" more effectively. Thank you so much for everything you've done to make this easier for folks like me! For this question, I'm using this test album for reference:
How do I safely move the CRG "gallery help" button
<button class="crg-help" data-fancybox="" data-src="#crg-help">Gallery Help</button>into the upper left corner of the topmost pallet, opposite the filters/submit button?
<div class="page__pallet__wide page__pallet__top spinal__column" id="page__pallet__top">
<div class="content clearfix">
<ul>
<li id="widget-container"><ul>
<li id="crg-widget" class="tb mouseable stacked-widget fa_pseudo">
<span class="widget-count select-count">1</span>
<ul>
<li class="crg-view">Filter View</li>
<li class="lights-control"><button class="fa_pseudo" data-level="off" title="Show Only Selected Images"></button></li>
<li class="lights-control"><button class="fa_pseudo" data-level="low" title="Highlight Selected Images"></button></li>
<li class="lights-control"><button class="fa_pseudo current" data-level="on" title="Show All Images"></button></li>
<li class="crg-line"></li>
<li class="crg-submit"><button class="submit fa_pseudo"><span>Submit</span></button></li>
</ul>
</li><li id="widget-buoy"></li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>My goal is simplicity for the client: just two buttons that follow them up/down the album; one that says "gallery help" and one that says "submit".
My clients rarely use the gallery filters, but often ask "how exactly do I submit my feedback/decisions?"
I second this request!
Just having the SUBMIT text on the top-most button would help a lot of my clients, but I don't really understand how to implement this option. I've gotten a lot of "That submit button was not very intuitive" feedback from my own clients.
