#26 Re: Backlight Support » "Return to Gallery" Button action in shopping cart » 2017-02-02 19:18:39

Thanks Ben,

Website URL is:
http://www.overthetopimagery.com.au

To recap the issue is;

Having to use iframe inside the tabbed content to publish a slideshow where I wish it to be. 

The tabbed content code has issues in that it doesn't recognise the length of the content correctly so the scroll is longer than it should be.

The iframe is also an issue.  If anyone has any ideas on how to fix the tabbed content and run a slideshow within it I'd welcome any suggestions.

I am wondering if the Pym.js option might be a solution for the iframe.

Regards

Hi Ben,

My site is posted sort of and I've sent you an email with login details.  The main site domain name hasn't been transferred yet so it's running on a test site which will stop working when they migrate the domain name accross.

Cheers
Ian

Sounds spot on Ben.

I'll send in the login details as soon as it's posted up.

Thanks again Ben and Rod!

Thanks again Rod!

I've applied for a hosting site, so hopefully will have it up and runing in the next few days.  When it's up what's the best way to get login details to you, via your contact page or pm?

Cheers

Thanks Rod,

It jumps back to a fullscreen gallery page that I created which is viwed from an iframe inside the product page

As I couldn't insert a slideshow where I wanted to in a product page, I created a fullscreen page with a slideshow and then used iframe to display the slideshow on the fullscreen page in the product page.

The button returns me to the fullscreen slideshow page. 

As this fullscreen page is not actually meant to be viewed on my website and is really just a hack so I can display a slideshow where I want, is there a way to move it or rename it so it doesn't act as a backlight page but so that I can still call to it through a url?

Maybe then when the button would return to the product page instead of the fullscreen page.

Cheers

Hi again,

If I remove an item from the shopping cart the screen message says Your Cart is empty and there is a button "Back to the gallery"

How can one change the action of the "Back to the gallery" button based on where you came from?

Explanation:
If I do this from a picture gallery the "Back to gallery" button works OK and returns me back to the gallery where I originated from which is correct.

If I remove a product added from a product page the "Back to gallery" doesn't return me to the product page but rather a page that is called from within the product page.

How can I change which page the Back to Gallery returns to when removing items from the shopping cart that were added from a product page and not a image gallery?  I cannot see where in the templates or Backlight/Publisher settings.

Regards

Hi,

I have a seperate page setup where customers can purchase products/services.  (Not photos).

Everything works I can add the products/services,setup pricing schemes, shipping etc but the product image doesn't load.  As result the shopping cart displays the default image from the following location:

http://192.168.178.32/OvertheTop_Backli … holder.png

I have this code as the add to cart.  It shows a square box with no image inside it. 

Please ignore, problem solved.  My eyesight must be going after too many hours staring at the screen.  Was a simple typo with my image url being incorrect.

#33 Re: Backlight Support » Unable to download images » 2017-01-29 09:56:53

Hi,

Not sure exactly,  In designing my website I had tried lots of different website creation platforms before I came across Backlight.  Maybe something left over from them had impacted it.  I uninstalled Wordpress, phpAdmin and the SQL Server from the QNAP and then reinstalled from scratch.  Now when I change .htaccess as per the clean url doco, it has the desired affect and with the change photo's now download perfectly.  Server API still says FPM/FastCGI in the new install.

I still have to work out how to download all photos at once and saw some doco in the forum on using select all and a zip file.  I'll try that and if I have issues I'll post a new support query.

Thanks again for your help, really appreciated!  A bit of water and fertiliser, hopefully my hair will grow back. wink

Regards

#34 Re: Backlight Support » Unable to download images » 2017-01-29 02:28:28

Hi Ben,

Problem resolved.  I reinstalled my webserver and Backlight and it's all working fine now.  Thanks for your help!

Cheers!

#35 Re: Backlight Support » Unable to download images » 2017-01-28 13:56:44

The Server API shows     FPM/FastCGI

I assume then that it is running FastCGI? 
http://192.168.178.32/OvertheTop_Backli … ?a=phpinfo

When I try download from a gallery this is the link it uses when I get the error:
http://192.168.178.32/OvertheTop_Backli … C_2960.jpg

If I cut  'download.php?file=' out of the url and use

http://192.168.178.32/OvertheTop_Backli … C_2960.jpg

then the file opens ok in the browser.

My site is still very much in development and not ready for hosting yet.

Cheers

#36 Re: Backlight Support » Unable to download images » 2017-01-28 11:21:55

Thanks Ben.

My site isn't up on the web yet as I'm still developing it.  It is running on a QNAP fileserver with my desktop being a Win10.  The error is "File not found" not "No input file specified".  (Lightroom has sorted itself out.  Must take some time to sort itself out after making changes lin Backlight for them to propergate through to Lightroom.)

The files are there so yes I am suspecting the issue is in the way it sees the link -  download.php?file=photos-for-download/

I have no idea how to check if the QNAP is running Fastcgi however if I make the mod to htaccess as explained in the file ther is no difference in what happens:

I have changed the 3 lines as explained in the file.  Neither the original or when I change it has made any difference, both give me File not found.

.htaccess file
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    ############################################################################
    # Edit this section for servers using FastCGI

    # For FastCGI (or seeing the error message 'No input file specified.':
    # add # to the start of the next line
  Red text   #RewriteBase /

    RewriteCond $0#%{REQUEST_URI} ([^#]*)#(.*)\1$

    # For FastCGI (or seeing the error message 'No input file specified.':

Issue - Unable to download image from a customer gallery with a "file not found" error.   (Site not yet hosted)

When selecting the download, backlights opens the following url and says the file cannot be found
http://**********/Backlight/Customer/cust1/assignment2/download.php?file=photos/DSC_4856.jpg

I have verified that the jpg is in the photos folder under the customer folder so at first I thought it was the htaccess file.  The urls are set to about/                  (As per http://backlight.theturninggate.net/doc … ess_files)

I tried changing the customer response template from "Use photos rendition" to "Create custom download rendition via Publisher" but this has now made things worse as Lightroom now will not publish any album.  (I have checked the Lightroom and it is not set to Push metadata without updating existing photos)

If I try download the image from the gallery with the response template set to "Create custom download rendition via Publisher" the url has changed (this I expect but it still doesn't download):
http://**********/Backlight/Customer/cust1/assignment2//download.php?file=photos-for-download/DSC_4856.jpg 

I tried changing the customer response template back to "Use photos rendition" but Lightroom still refuses to republish the gallery with a "Can't update this collection.  The rendition could not be created.  Please ensure that the original file name is accessible, especially when stored on external or network storage"

I have also run the "Update Album Files" from within publisher but that isn't working.

I also manually created a folder photos-for-download and and copied the files there but it still says file not found.

So I have 2 issues:
file not found so cannot download and now trying to fix that Lightroom is now not publishing.

Can you please help as I'm running out of hair to pull out.

#38 Re: Backlight Support » Theater Add on - html/css code to insert a slideshow into a page » 2017-01-27 20:25:33

Thanks for the reply Matthew,

Hopefuly this will become a possibility in the very near future for Theater.  I have given up on Theater for now as I can produce nice slideshows in Wordpress.  I'll use Iframe to include them in my Backlight pages without mucking around with jquery to do it.  Seema like a backward step but I'll keep an eye out for developments and hopefully paying for theater wasn't money down the drain. 

Thanks again.
Cheers

#39 Re: Backlight Support » Theater Add on - html/css code to insert a slideshow into a page » 2017-01-27 13:26:31

Thanks Rod,

My post isnt about how to write tabbed content, that I can do and have done.  Not being able to insert a theater slideshow into this seems like a shortcoming which seriously reduces the overall flexibility. 

As I mentioned my site isn't yet hosted so I cannot post the picture as you described in your post;
http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … hp?id=7046

There must be a way to do it,  if the code can present it above and below the surely the code can be modified to insert a slideshow inside other html areas on a page.

Regards

#40 Re: Backlight Support » Theater Add on - html/css code to insert a slideshow into a page » 2017-01-27 11:33:12

Hi Rod and thanks for the reply

Not quite,  It's not text above or below the slideshow it's about where to have the slideshow running.  If I could upload a screenshot I could show you a screenshot of my page but I can't see where to upload a picture.  This link below however shows what I mean by tabbed content:

https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/0 … solutions/

I wish to insert a slideshow into the pane area of the active tab.  I can't do this using the insert album as it wishes to insert it either above or below the tab control area, not inside it.

An example of what I am trying to do can be found with the nextgen gallery in Wordpress.  A shortcut code can be used to insert the gallery anywhere on a page.   

https://www.imagely.com/docs/nextgen-ga … hortcodes/

I'd like to grab the code that the "Insert Album" uses to create a slideshow on a page and insert that code into the control tab area on my page so that the slideshow runs in the pane area when someone selects that particular tab.

Hope that explains it a bit better.

Regards

Hi,

I am a complete new comer to backlight and am in the process of designing my website.  I have just purchased the theater plugin but am struggling with inserting a slideshow into a page. 

I can create a slideshow and insert it onto a page using the “Insert Album”options within a page, but this does not allow me to display slideshows where I want to. 

My website has tabbed content and I wish to insert a slideshow into the tabbed content and set the size of the displayed slideshow depending on the size of the tabbed content area.  If I insert a slide show using the option presented by the "Insert Album" option in a page the slidshow I cannot control where the slide show is as it will be either above or below my tabbed content, not inside it where i need it.

What html/css/js code can be used within the page copy area of a page, to manually insert a slideshow?  I have searched through the forum but cannot find an answer. 

I can use iframe to display the slideshow in the tabbed content area from a test page with a slideshow but this seems like a backward step.

(The album from which my slideshow pictures are to be used have been published from Lightroom and display ok in a slideshow on a test page.  My site is not hosted yet as it is still in development.)

Regards
