Hi Rod

I just found here the answer to my issue whitch was: how to get an cover image for an album set when using "Random"
I red several times the wiki :  http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … over_image
but it is not clear how to do. Should it be possible to add a paragrah explaining that when "Random" is selected, thumnails have to be manually uploaded in Album set's thumbnails folder?

Cordially, and thanks for all the support you give.

Here's how I would do it.

You're already using Publisher and I assume it's targeted at your galleries/ folder?

In that same Publisher instance, create an album using your Stage template. In the Features tab, check the "Hide from Autoindex" box. This will keep the new album from appearing on your Galleries page.

You can either supply the url directly to people, or you can add a navigation item that leads to this album.
The url to the new album will be /galleries/the-new-album/

Thanks Rod
That seems to be exactly what I was looking for. I tried it in a new Pages configuration and it works fine but...
When I update Pages element do I get other issues, like loosing the Flip gallery on my home page. Seems there is allways a mismatch in my site between old version (from backup) and new plugins.
Whatever, I think the site could work pretty good if I could manually, using ftp,change the URL of "Oeuvres récentes" page from martine-cheval.be/stage-derniers-dessins/ to martine-cheval.be/galleries/stage-derniers dessins/. I searched in many files but could not find where to do the change. Is that possible?

Thanks Matt

Seems thath Adobe doesn't realy pay many attention to the web module . A bit strange nowadays where the web is the most used way to share pictures. Maybe their interest is elswhere. roll

No doubt about that. wink

Same kind of problem when a template, maybe except Pages, that,, in LR'web module, is not  directly open in Site Info Pane, then displaying Site Info Pane makes that the masthead (graphic) is replace by the default LIGTROOM plate. A second click on the template makes that the masthead is displayed permanently. Don't know whever LR or TTG is gulty.

#32 Re: CE4 Gallery » No thumbnail for gallery icon » 2016-03-17 03:20:11

O.K.  fixed

Can easily get confused betweeen the english galleries and the french galeries.

Just had to uncheck   Share resources from Pages.


Thanks again

#33 Re: General » Masthead disappears leaving Headind blank » 2016-03-17 03:08:11

O.K.

Once one know it, isn't a problem anymore.

Thanks

Hello

Rebuilding plugins, did I notice that in Site info pane / Identity , Using a graphic identity  Pane , leaving "Heading" field empty makes that the masthead completely disappears. Is it a voluntary effect?

#35 Re: CE4 Gallery » No thumbnail for gallery icon » 2016-03-17 00:49:48

Hello Rod and Ben, and thank you.

Sorry for these late answer, bur I've been working a lot rebuilding the site, picking up pieces here and there and slowly does it come all right.
Also did I carefully re set up Gallery, AutoIndex and Pages to get a consistent set of plugins and templates.
LightRoom's Web module is definitively NOT my friend!
Not yet used new Pages template, but using new AutoIndex and Gallery am I now able to correctly publish Album sets an Albums.
To Rod, I allways use Export and not Publish in LR.
I'm busy to delete and republish former album sets and albums. Not too heavy once the workflow is well established.

A small issue I can't solve: "Oeuvres récentes" is a "standalone" stage page named "stage-derniers-dessins" located in the site's root and works nearby properly, but it seems that I have lost the trailing /  at the end of the URL somewhere in the puzzle This has a strange effect in the navigation on "Galeries" page, the next to the right of "Oeuvres récentes". If I visit "Galeries" first, no problem, the page is displaied correctly, but after having displayed "Oeuvres récentes" returning to "Galeries" displays the following message: "The requested URL /stage-derniers-dessins/galeries was not found on this server.". I searched in a lot of .php and .css files where I could add the trailing  /  but did not find. An idea of what I could do to avoid me to have to re upload pages?

#36 Re: CE4 Gallery » No thumbnail for gallery icon » 2016-03-06 01:50:28

Twoo small questions:
setting up an AutoIndex, in the "Site info pane / Navigation Hyperlinks" selecting Home as target leads to "index", is it O.K.? I suppose yes.
The second question: In the bottom pane
Upload parameters
FTP server
Place in sub-folder
photos
Complete path
/photos

Does this option matter whether checked or not?
I didn't find any info about that.

#37 Re: CE4 Gallery » No thumbnail for gallery icon » 2016-03-05 18:32:26

Hi Ben and thank you

Publisher's version is well  2.3.3
Thought clicking on Publish now (right click on the album name) was sufficient to republish the entire album.
For the albums newly recreates can't I get a cover image, because "thumbnails" folder is not created.

I think there must be a big mismatch in all files I created, especially in autoindexes.
I feel tired today and my mind is not clear at all, thus I'll wait a few days before diving in again.
Probably do I also need to re-read doc about autoindex.

#38 Re: CE4 Gallery » No thumbnail for gallery icon » 2016-03-04 18:20:53

Hi Rod

I had a bakup of the site on my PC, thus simply did I copy this backup (www...) and pasted it in the root of the site.
Albums and albums sets existing in the backup were re-created pasting them.
The album set Chrono... and his albums have been receated in LR and republished with publisher.
Maybe have I to do a big cleaning in all my files and delete (very carefully) old versions to get a consistant set of pluggins and files, comprising autoindex.

#39 Re: CE4 Gallery » No thumbnail for gallery icon » 2016-03-04 03:27:09

O.K.
All plugins are now updated and I logged in ttg-be.
I begin to be fully saturated and my head is overheating. I just ask if I have to refresh things like galleries templates ans so on.

Thanks again.

#40 Re: CE4 Gallery » No thumbnail for gallery icon » 2016-03-04 02:41:58

Thanks Rod

Yes the site has been fully and totaly erased, ttg-be also.
I gave a look at the tuto you mention and I already updated several files, and some issue seems to be solved.
I just controlled my versions vs latest ones and it seems that I have to update almost my TTG pluggins.
I'll update and tell you what's new.

Just a question: in the changelog for ttg-be it is allways mentioned:   Log in as admin to ttg-be/admin
without any instruction about what to do. Is this step necessary and/or usefull?

Hi everybody

I thought that I could not do worse that erasing Lightroom, well in fact Icould  :-(
I did completely erase my website   http://www.martine-cheval.be/    with ftp client.
I don't really now how it could happen, but a refreshing mouse pointer problem is maybe the source.
Fortunately I had a backup of the site, not really up to date, but it was enougth to restart building the site. I also had the last exports, so could I restore a more or less same site.

All this leaved me with twoo problems. The first is that when I create a new album and publish it with Publisher, no thumbnail appears in the album icon in the galleries, like here: http://martine-cheval.be/galleries/chrono/   I allready spent a lot of time looking for a solution and the only issue I found is that in the exported album (in /galleries) the folder "thumbnails" is not created.  Custom_thumbnails and thumnails-for-mobile are well created.

Do you have an idea of what I am doing wrong or forgetting?

I thougt to open an other post for the second problem but maybe are they linked. When i try to modify an existing album, get I the messages: Unable to perform action getThumbnails       Message: Album not found,   althougt album is well present in Lightroom an in the site.

When you say you want a second "Gallery" page, do you mean you want another gallery on your site or did you mean a second gallery index page from which you can access galleries like this page: http://martine-cheval.be/galleries.php

I mean a page in the site, beside the Galleries page, with a single gallery, just like that one   http://martine-cheval.be/stage-derniers-dessins/
in whitch i could easily replace the pictures.

#43 Re: CE4 Stage » Unable to publish in a Stage page » 2016-02-10 22:57:27

Hi Rod

My goal ceating that page was to get a second Gallery page, I thougt the solution was creating a Stage page with galleria slideshow.
Was I wrong?

#44 Re: CE4 Stage » Unable to publish in a Stage page » 2016-02-10 03:21:41

Hi Rod

Thanks for the answer.

My problem has been discribed here:   http://community.theturninggate.net/top … ngenering/

http://martine-cheval.be/stage-derniers-dessins   is well the page I'm talking about.

You say "This page: http://martine-cheval.be/stage-derniers-dessins is not controlled by Publisher". I don't understand why this page is not, or no more, controlled by publisher. She has been ceated by Stage and exported to the site an it has worked a time.

In my publisher instance, I have this:   API URL   http://www.martine-cheval.be/ttg-be/publisher/  ;  Authentication is checked,  and  Top-level galleries directory: stage-derniers-dessins.

I don't remember how did I publish the first picture, and I'm not able to get info back in the TTG doc how to to it

Hi everybody

A liitle bit time ago did I create in this site    http://martine-cheval.be    a Stage page called  Oeuvres récentes
These page is located at http://martine-cheval.be/stage-derniers-dessins
I also created a separate Publisher instance with API URL   http://www.martine-cheval.be/ttg-be/publisher/
Also did i create an album called  Default-Album to publish picture on the Stage Page

After a big problem a few monthes ago could I get back almost all site setup but I'm no more able to refresh pictures in these page

Any idea of what is wrong or missing

Thanks

That Lightroom doesn't back these things up is, in my opinion, an oversight.

Rod

I fully agree with you. I am lobbying here to get this automatic backup inside Lightroom, don't seem to be a mountain of work, but for now did I not get many support from other users.

I had to re-install all the TTG plugins, among which Publisher. After having restored Publisher I got my three instances back and fully operational (Authentication check O.K.), thus suppose I that the informations are store somewhere, i simply wonder where.

Whatever thank's for the support.

did you make any backups of the Lightroom/ folder (location differs depending on OS)? If so, all your web templates should be in the Lightroom/Web Templates/ folder

Yes I made backups of C:/lightroom/...   but unfortunately my prest were not "Stored with the catalog", so not very usefull  :-( . Hower a preset has been restored but I can't find where it was stored. If I find where, maybe could I restore other presets

Hi Rod

I'm not sure whitch templates were there earlear, but there are also "Track" templates and I'm quite sure thsese are new, but it's not realy important. It was for my personnal teaching.

Fredy

#49 Re: General » More Lightroom 6.2 / CC2015.2 weirdness » 2015-10-17 22:48:22

Hi Rod

I confirm, the web module seems realy to be slower, and the appearence of the engine selecting pannel has also been changed, not sure it is better....  More, there are new templates, but I'm not able to find where they are stored.

B.r.

Hello everybody

I made big errors (anong whitch erasing LR), so thought I to have lost all my setting work in LR. Fortunately could I recover one of my main template, but I don't know how nor where was this template stored. My question is: is it possible to find back the settings from exported files, for instance for a gallery?

Best regards

Fredy
