Thank you Rod, it's working :-)
The title says it all, how to achieve that? Thx.
Check your captions for apostrophes, as these break code. We'll need to sanitize these in a future version, I suppose. In the meantime, you can escape captions with a backslash, i.e. "The Devil\'s Rock."
Thank you, it's working again. Strange it did work under theater 1.01 . I changed nothing to the pictures before going to theater 1.02.
Anyway, cool that it is solved so quickly.
It just happened that my vegas show worked again within my image gallery (Portret) but still not for my homepage.
Thank you Rod.
Also, Flickity is going wild through my images when the mouse is not above the pictures. Is this a certain setting or something else?
I played with all the settings and switched between all the presentations, nothing helped. I just feel this update wasn't ready for distribution. This is like one step forward and two steps backwards. Matthew, are you reading this post?
Hi,
I updated properly to theater 1.02 en also backlight 1,04 to release 3.
Flickity is working, but i can't change it anymore to the vegas slideshow. All i get when i choose Vegas slideshow is an empty page, see my home page: www.stevenlefebrefotografie.be
What did i do wrong?
Well, i must have missed the message to update to release 2. I downloaded it again, installed it, and now it works. Thanks.
I'm on 1.0.4 but how do i get release 2?
OK, sent you an email.
Doesn't work. Clean install done of theater to no avail. Any tips?
The subject says it all. Done the update properly, nothing changed, and i can't get a slideshow anymore on my homepage. So, i went back to theater 100, and bamm, it works again. Also tried to select vegas and full screen to no avail. Not happy.
I tried to use the contact form but got this:
Something went wrong

Hi,
Here's my new site: www.stevenlefebrefotografie.be
It's basic, but i'm happy with it. And also important, it's faster and much user friendly than it was with CE4.
I'm happy so far.
And, Rod and Ben are great moderators, thank you guys!

Even if you don't have anything in the large image metadata field (Album Template > Image Settings > Image Metadata > Photos Caption) the image file name will appear.
If you don't want anything showing, you can hide that caption with custom css.This looks like it will remove just the caption text:
.pswp__caption__center { display:none; }This looks like it will remove the dark bar and caption at the bottom:
.pswp__caption { display: none; }
And where do i need to copy that?
That's the question, anyone an idea where i can find the setting for that?
Thank you guys, i have my sub domain with some help from my host. I will do some experiments and i will come back if necessary.
What does that mean?

I just created my Backlight testing/development site in a sub-domain. When ready, I'll just copy it into the public_html folder and clean up old CE4 stuff.
Here's my plan: http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … 946#p36946
To avoid conflicts, I don't want to do the testing developing alongside my CE4 site
How do you create a sub-domain? I guess it's not a sub folder on the server...
Hi, looking at your website, it looks like you copied what was in /backlight/ directly into the top of your web site.
http://www.stevenlefebrefotografie.be/backlight/ looks to be properly installed. To fix http://www.stevenlefebrefotografie.be/ you'll need to copy index.php and .htaccess from the Backlight-Pages zip file into the top of your site.
Hi Ben,
I'm confused. That's what i've done this afternoon.
I cleaned up my server after having taken a back-up.
Then I followed the instructions from Matt to install backlight, so i copied the 4 files on top of my server.
I managed to complete the whole thing and i could publish an Album. Great. But then i pushed the button Galleries, and I got errors in red. So i was frustrated and as a result, i found a solution. I moved the whole bunch to a new folder on the server called Old. Then I moved back my CE4 website which doing still fine (:-) )
So, i've been able to taste from backlight, but i guess i'm not ready yet to use it as my publisher.
I would love to be able to have backlight next to my CE4site, so i can build it and test it easily. Can someone please explain me clear how to achieve that (knowing i have no IT knowledge, so please, keep it simple)?
Thank you.
Where did you install Backlight?
The message you're seeing should appear on the Home page. So if you installed Backlight into your public_html location, then yourdomain.com/backlight should allow you to log into the admin.
If you installed in public_html/backlight, then that's your Home, and so you'd access admin at yourdomain.com/backlight/backlight.
It *sounds* like you've installed it into a subfolder, but without a link, I can only guess.
Thanks for your answer, but i don't understand what you want to say. I have no public_html location and if i make one, i can't move the backlight folder to public_html location. Would it help if i give you my pasword of my server?
I followed the steps, and it doesn't work.
Install Backlight
Copy the files from within the ZIP to your server.
DO NOT copy readme.txt or TTG-Publisher.lrplugin.
If installing Backlight + Pages, be sure to include the .htaccess file. It may be invisible in Mac's Finder or Windows Explorer, but you should be able to see it in your FTP client; make sure it's set to show invisible files.
After upload, the /backlight folder should be accessible from your site's home, i.e. yourdomain.com/backlight.
I did it all correct. When i type my site/Backlight i get:
Backlight is not yet configured. Please login to Backlight at /backlight/ to continue.
I'm not stupid, but when I follow the steps and it doesn't work, I need to ask for help.
Thank you in advance.
Thank you for your clear answer Rod.
Hi,
Backlight is interesting once it is installed and working properly, but before i take of, i don't want to lose my current site with CE4.
So that's my plan:
- I back up my current server data.
- I buy backlight with pages
- And then... i'm searching for a step by step plan how to execute the migration, but can't find it. I guess this http://backlight.theturninggate.net/doc … tion_setup is for a new set up, not to migrate coming from CE4. Is it correct i start with creating a new folder Backlight and then follow the steps from this link? I assume i can't throw the new files in the middle of my server?
(I'm afraid of making a mess and that the current site is going down...)
Thanks for your help to convince me i will make it to a good end.
Steven
Never thought that uninstalling and reinstalling was so easy. 15 minutes and it was done for 2 computers :-)
Thx.
