Dear Rod, thanks for your reply. The problem is, that the faulty menue items only show up on my website in the popup menue and nowhere else.

How can I delete menue items from the drop down menue? I checked all the different possibilities (that I am aware off), but to no success (Clear template cache, design menue set, LR albums)

ftp://www.eckart-bartnik.de@www.eckart-bartnik.de/menue_items.png

I am glad that with 1.1 I can now arrange Albums according to their slug.
Thanks for your help!

By the way I submitted this question already twice, but it did not show after hitting 'submit'.

B) Albums/Sets in menus are sorted alphabetically based on titles.  This is a shortcoming due to the way menus are built (specifically, not having straightforward access to the per-album sorting setting, or a way of using it).  I hope to look into this, most likely for our next major update.

Have you had the chance to address this issue with backlight 1.0.5? I hesitate to try out with my website (never change a working system).
Thanks for your reply!

I have two questions:
A) My gallery (I renamed it Portfolios) menue lists all albums, but also those which I already deleted. Looking with filezilla onto my server also shows the correct albums. How can I delete older versions of albums to be listed in the drop down menue? Those old versions are also shown when I just go to 'Portfolios'.

B) Although the albums show on the page with their thumbnails  in the order as directed by the slug name, this does not happen in the drop down menue. To get them in the right sequence, I had to use numbers.

Sorry, but I did not figure out, how to attach a screenshot, therefore, please use the link to my page to take a look.
Thanks for your help

#31 Re: Backlight Support » Migration albums from CE4 to backlight » 2016-08-16 23:09:54

The API key was correct, but still somehow corrupted (?). Only after I retyped it in the Publisher settings, it works now again.
Thanks for your help.
I am still struggling with the menu setup .....

#32 Re: Backlight Support » Migration albums from CE4 to backlight » 2016-08-16 22:39:56

Dear Rod, now after succesful migration I face another problem: When I want to create a new album in LR it says:

Unable to perform action: getSetupForTemplate
Message: Unable to authenticate

Why is life difficult?
:-)

#34 Re: Backlight Support » Migration albums from CE4 to backlight » 2016-08-16 21:59:46

Yes, I was using the publisher in CE4.
And yes, the BL and ttg-be folder are at the same level

I tried to follow the instructions:

1. Login to the Backlight admin, at /backlight/ : fine
2. Click on the Backlight then Publisher menu: fine
3. Click on the link 'Migrate CE4 Publisher':

but do not see the 'Migrate CE4 Publisher' link.
Sorry to ask that stupid question, but...

I deleted the description text and checked again all settings, made some changes and now it works. Thanks for your help!

Yes, Galleria slide show. My site is:

What steps do I have to do to manage the home page slide gallery through publisher? That would be neat.
Thanks!

It worked before, but now I can't get it to work. Is there any crucial setting? I ticked autoplay and clicknext, Autoplay is 2000 ms, Transition speed is 500 ms. I see the first image, but no image change. Off course the other images are uploaded.
Thanks for any suggestion.

#40 Re: CE4 Client Response Gallery » Customer logins not working » 2015-01-24 22:10:06

I might have had the same problem, see the post earlier. Ben answered, that there might be a bug to fix. He recommended in a mail to me: "Until then, this can be fixed by exporting a new template with "Enable Password Protection" unchecked.  Then select this new template for the CRG Template in the CRG Settings."
I unchecked the box enable password, made a new CRG template, exported it and connected the album with it. Now I see directly the login and can login with the e-mail. I suppose with the checked 'enable' password' two login instances are created. The first with the login credentials as given in the album setting, and the other through the 'Edit client' in the Client Response gallery Admin. But the TTG folks may know better.

#41 Re: CE4 Client Response Gallery » Login for customer doesn't work » 2015-01-24 17:13:56

1 1/2 hours later...
Can it be that there are 2 login instances?
I get into the CRG by first using username 'guest' and password 'guest' credentials, then a new instance of login appears and then I can enter with the e-mail and 'guest'.
After I deleted the Username 'guest' in the LR Album setting under 'feature', I now only get the 2nd login instance and here I can directly login with the e-mail.
Does this make sense?
But first now breakfast....

#42 Re: CE4 Client Response Gallery » Legend of CRG » 2015-01-24 15:48:38

I meant the user interface bar at the top of the large images in Highslide. After some searching and trying I found the corresponding setting in LR.

Even after checking and checking in the Client Response Gallery Admin settings, I can not find the reason, why I can't any more log into the customer response gallery.  The login field shows, I can type in the credentials, click login, but nothing happens.
I want to use CRG to get feedback from friends and therefore made three clients (myself included). Assigned the same gallery for all three. Access is:
http://eckart-bartnik.de/ttg-be/crg/?album_id=51341. Username: eckart-bartnik@t-online.de PW:guest.

I guess, you are working on it, but the settings in the CRG admin need some more explanations, i.e. post submission actions.

Thanks for help!

#44 Re: CE4 Client Response Gallery » Legend of CRG » 2015-01-24 04:05:34

The problem with the image background was apparently due to the use of an image copy which I used for the test CRG album. Now, it is gone.
Template hacking was done as you recommend: http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … _templates

Thanks for the quick reply!

#45 Re: CE4 Client Response Gallery » Legend of CRG » 2015-01-24 01:37:41

Thanks, Rod, for the help, although it was slightly cryptic for me.
After a bit of trying, the legend appeared:
In the Color Palette > Sidebar I chose Two-column. There is nothing else to enable.
Back in the library, I changed the Album settings: On the page content tab I chiose under Sidebar Copy placement: Position new copy above existing Sidebar Copy.
After that it was fine.

But I still have some tweeking to do: The symbols in the status bar of the indivudual images are not visible, they must have the wrong color. Is this due, because I hacked the template ?
TTG is fine, but still it takes its share of time....

How do I get the legend of the CRG to be seen on my website ? I did not find any option to display it or not.
And another strange behavior: All large images in the CRG are on white background (as I want) but the last image is on a black background.
Thankls again for your reply. Best regards

#47 Re: CE4 Client Response Gallery » Message: Internal error upon CRG album publish » 2015-01-22 06:57:18

One step further - but not there yet: Album upload does not any more create thie error message. Iguess I looged into ttg-be, but not into publisher (?).
But upon creating a new album I get:
Unable to load template: ./../templates/gallery/crg-default/template_crg.php
The newly created CRG gallery shows up and I can select it in the 'template' field.

Oh, I found out that I need to: Back in the TTG-BE admin, from the Client Response Gallery Admin screen, select Settings > Client Response Gallery Settings. Edit Settings, then set “CRG Template” to use the newly uploaded template.

It is getting too late...

#48 Re: CE4 Client Response Gallery » Message: Internal error upon CRG album publish » 2015-01-22 05:29:54

Thanks for the help, Ben. I actually updated the publisher according to the note:

To update to Publisher 2.0.3a: ===
  - Either replace the entire ttg-be/publisher/application folder, or just the file ttg-be/publisher/application/models/Album.php with that from the zip file.
  - Replace the CE4-Publisher.lrplugin, and restart Lightroom

I actaully had replaced the entire ttg-be/publisher/application folder(and off course the second step with the  plugin.

I installed the CRG CE4 after updating TTG BE and the Publisher according to the instructions.
Upon Creating an album using the new CRG template and trying to upload it I get an error message in LR:
An internal error occurred: JSON.lua:197: can't parse JSON at char 1 of SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1 table album has no column named enable_crg#0
and on and on. Unfortunatel I do not know how to insert the screenshot from LR with the full error message.
Thanks for your help!

#50 Re: CE4 Gallery » How to center image caption under Large image » 2014-12-29 06:37:37

Dear Rod, thanks a lot. I took all my courage to go into custom css and it worked! I even managed to change the spacing in the table on the about page. Something I wanted to do for a long time, but never dared to do. But I did not find the actual text for this page. It is not on the about.php. Where is it hidden? It might be easier to change directly than going through LR (?).
