#26 Re: Backlight Support » CE4 Cart Migration Error » 2018-03-16 01:01:29

Fingers crossed!

Only slight downside is that on the home page [http://galleries.photolens.co.uk/index.php] the 2017 images are aligned left instead of centered as in 2018.

Please, don't bother to try and solve it - I will eventually! - you both havemany  more important challenges to solve.

Thanks once again to you both.

[I'll be back!!!]

#27 Re: Backlight Support » CE4 Cart Migration Error » 2018-03-15 01:39:33

It was working fine until I added the cart. [OK, the tables don't with mobiles!]

I will follow the advice.

Actually, the cart works on mobiles!

And, I've just discovered, on PCs!

#28 Re: Backlight Support » CE4 Cart Migration Error » 2018-03-14 20:07:52

Snap!

Clicking on the top right hand cross then the blank screen brings up the site. But then when clicking on another link the process has to be repeated.

I deleted the module-cart folder then re-copied it. Same thing happened.

Brilliant. Thanks Ben [& Rod for the direction to take].

Small point, and of no importance, when at Backlight > Designer > Localization, when accessing the left hand menu bar it moves to the centre of the screen and is greyed out, whilst the left hand most column is white and blank.

Please, this is not urgent so put it on the back burner for when you are not busy [!!!].

Once again, Thank You.

Title mshould have been 'menue sets'.

What have I tried?  Nothing much really. There doesn't seem to be a forum post with the same challenge!

Backlight > Designer > Templates > Upload Images > Upload New Image > 'Click To Upload' does not work. Yet it still does on the trial site.

Backlight > Designer > Menu Sets > Default > Desing - I cannot add anything.

A 3rd challenge has reared its ugly head. Home > Photo_Library > Transport > Vehicles  - says it is password protected. I've deleted the album set and relpublished it. There is no password set in LR's 'Album Set > Features'. In fact, after a re-publish now saying "Something went wrong - The album set with id 86980 could not be found in GalleryDelegate.php on line 254".

Don't want to put too much of a downer onthings because everthing  else at this stage works Perfectly.

Gettiing there with http://Galleries.PhotoLens.co.uk.

When working on the test site I can [still] upload an image for the masthead and can [still] add new menu sets.

Everything [apart from the galleries folder] has been put into the main site [again]. I find that on the main site I cannot upload new images [I did manage to delete one] nor can I add menue sets.

I've checked and the correct template is applied to all pages. I've also done and checked everything else I've found on the forum.

So yet again I am asking for your help, please.

Guest - guest; P/w 1TTGguest.

And what is the 'identifier' when creating a new page, please?

#32 Re: Backlight Support » 'This album is protected' » 2018-03-10 06:13:57

What a pain! Not only has every album set gained password protection, but every album set contained within!!

#33 Re: Backlight Support » 'This album is protected' » 2018-03-10 06:10:03

Aargh! Sorry to put you through answering. I've just added a sentence to my post: I've found that looking at the settings for an album set in 'features' p/w is enabled!

Cheers Rod - we must have got there at the same time!

All appeared to go well with designing a new Backlight site. The test site worked perfectly. Migrating from CE4 to Backlight appeared to go well. Until...

Home page: http://galleries.photolens.co.uk/ - all album sets are locked!

Clicking on one produces 'This album is protected'. http://galleries.photolens.co.uk/Photo_Library/Abroad/

This did not happen in CE4. I've never locked any albums on this site.

I have spent a couple of hours trying to figure it out. I've checked every Baklight menu page. The Localiztions page won't let me alter anything.

I've read & re-read the Backlight Documentation.

I've checked the TTG Publisher in LR Publishing Manager. There's no p/w set in the published collection album.

I've ploughed through the forum and no-one else seems to have had this problem.

I've cleared my browser cache.

Looking at the settings for an album set: http://galleries.photolens.co.uk/backli … m&p1=42094 p/w is not enabled!

Neither the admin nor guest u/n & p/w are accepted!

Suggestions please.

[Test site: http://photographer.photolens.co.uk/]

Don't bother answering yet. I've found that looking at the settings for an album set in 'features' p/w is enabled!

All's well with this challenge! Thank you.

#36 Re: Backlight Support » Missing 'Pages' » 2018-03-06 23:09:35

Re-read - "in the backlight MENU"!!

I've taken the plunge and bought Backlight + Pages package.

I've created my first test album. So far so good.

At the 'creating pages' stage the instructions are 'In the Backlight menu, select Designer ⇒ Pages '. The trouble is, in 'Designer' there is no 'Pages'.

Presumably I'm supposed to be doing this via FTP on the server.

I've checked the WinZip folder [Backlight-Pages-123-Release4.zip, 3399 KB] and there is no mention of 'pages' anywhere.

As it is usually me who has missed something, what am I doing wrong, please?

#38 Re: General » Login » 2018-02-28 21:01:56

I've just reread last November's circular which explains things: "•    Our account with the FetchApp distribution platform will be terminated, meaning that any purchase made prior to February 1, 2016 will no longer be downloadable.".

No problems - thanks for your help.

#43 CE4 Publisher » Watermark does not show » 2016-07-04 23:55:04

1. I cannot get my watermark to appear on my images.

Windows 10; CE4 up-to-date.

I've searched and searched to no avail for an answer to this.

Watermark:
- Shows when in WEB mode;
- Does not show in LIBRARY mode;
- Does not show on internet album.

Set up is as follows:

LIBRARY:

Publisher settings:
- Push metadata unchecked;
- Watermarking checked and points to correct one in dropdown list.

Album settings:
- nothing to do with watermark.

WEB:
Output Settings:
- Watermarking checked and points to correct one in dropdown list.

Appearance:
- Watermarking checked and points to correct one in dropdown list.

Photos/albums have been republished.

Correct template is being used [and is correct on server].

2. Because my webhost [Easyspace] says it will not increase php.ini above 16M, they recommend that I use FTP to republish 1000 photos. FTP is not a problem, but where do I find the necessary folders & files on my PC, please?

#44 Re: CE4 Gallery » Template Will Not Upload » 2016-07-03 18:15:35

Of course! You're right, as usual. It's so long since I made a template I was more than a little confused.

Thank you Rod.

#45 Re: CE4 Gallery » Template Will Not Upload » 2016-07-03 00:32:53

Thanks for your prompt reply, Rod.

I'm quite OK with FTP,  I use it to upload all my sites. But in the ttg/templates/gallery folder I can find nothing that matches the templates saved on my PC. I can locate the folder, but there's nothing with the extension 'lrtemplate'. Similarly, there's nothing on my PC to match any extentions on the server.

Uploader's always worked in the past, but that was with Win7.

#46 Re: CE4 Gallery » Template Will Not Upload » 2016-07-02 19:53:03

I've followed the instructions at http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … b_template but to no avail - still the same message.

I hope I'm in the right section and am not wasting your time if this has already been solved [I cannot find anything by searching].

I have amended my templates. They are saved on my PC.

To upload I have to enter my username and password. I presume these are my FTP ones [in desperation I've tried my TTG ones].

Halfway through the upoad process [at the 'building web photo gallery' stage] the message 'an error occurred uploading the file: connection to the server failed' appears.

I 'upgraded' [!] to Windows 10 last week. A coincidence??

Any suggestions, please?

[LR 5.7 & CE4]

[Template name 'CE4_PL_+Cart-Download' has previously worked.]

#48 Re: CE4 Publisher » "Can't Update This Collection" » 2015-03-30 06:05:52

Ben, thank you very much for your considered reply.

However, before I put your suggestions into practice, I had more more attempt at publishing the album. Guess what - it worked!

I did nothing new, simply waited 18 hours and tried again!

Answer that one???

Everything has been working perfectly for months now. However...

I recently replaced my Canon 5D with a 5D3: 12 MP to 25 MP.

Today is the first time I've used Publisher with new photo files.

I have 125 to upload - no problems previously. It stopped after 37 with:

TTG-LR%20Error.jpg

Steps taken since then [one at a time]:
- restarted L/r;
- restarted PC;
- deleted old directory from server & created a new, different named one;
Won't upoad at all now, same message. To continue:
- Output Settings -> Image Renditions -> JPG quality 70% to 60%;
- Image Download For Sale -> WxH 2000 x 2000 to 1200 x 1200;
- Image Download For Sale -> JPG Quality 80% to 70%.

People will be looking to buy on Monday.

Suggestions, please?

[Yes, I've updated the templates on the server everytime.]
