All good...
Thanks for the link to the TTG Docs, Rod. I was trying to Login with the Business UserName & ID, instead of the Personal UserName & ID.
Suggestion: Can docs like these [or a link] be included as part of ReadMe.txt files, included with the Cart ZIP file download? Perhaps I missed that.
Onward, to more adventures with TTG...
Thank you!
Don
Hi All,
Installed Backlight Cart Module and using Pangolin.
Upgraded my PayPal Account to Business status | Set up Sandbox account and using those API credentials in my Backlight Cart Settings.
Paypal button appears in Cart interface, but here's the issue:
When I attempt to Login to PayPal from the Cart Checkout page it denies access, producing the error message that the UserName and/or Password are incorrect. But when I Login to PayPal in a new browser window I can get into my account no problem.
Theory: I have dual-Login set up on my PayPal Account [text sent to my cell number], which produces a new [pop-up] window. Using Chrome and Popups preference is set to *allowed*. The TTG Cart [PayPal Log In] doesn't produce the window to have a text sent for dual-Login.
Does the TTG Cart not support dual-login? Or, is it that the PayPal Login won't work until I go with Live API Credentials?
Using the Pay with Debit or Credit Card Button all works fine via PayPal Sandbox.
Here's the testing gallery with Cart

As always, any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thanks Matt & Rod!
Got it to work with the following as I need it to function. I'll look at the other options provided too.
form.backlight-form {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: 20px;
float: right;
}

/* Let's Disco! */
[LOL]
Thanks, Rod...
This solution works great for the text inside of each respective field, but I'd actually like to take all the form fields and move them all the way across the page [defaults to left margin] so that they line up on the right margin of the page.
Sorry that I didn't clarify that earlier.

What Custom CSS code can be written to right justify the contact form fields?
Contact Form Mail problem solved!
Found this post from 2017-07-02...
"...That's how it's supposed to work. It's not really an address field; it's a honey pot. So when spam bots read the page and attempt to auto-fill the form, they see the Address field and fill it in.
Visually, the field is hidden from visitors, so a human visitor would NEVER fill it in.
Therefore, if the address field is filled, we know the message is by a bot and we discard it.
The problem that the 1.2.0.a hot-fix addresses is that we updated the contact form for the 1.2.0, but in doing so accidentally unhid that field in the okapi modules. We apologize for that inconvenience."
On my contact form the address field appeared because of generic CSS code that revealed it, so I kept filling the address field in for each test-send from the contact form. After reading this, I tried it once without filling in the address field, and voila... it works.
As Matt noted above, make sure that overly generic rules are modified in any Custom CSS files so that they don't override Backlight rules.
@Ben — here's the error message when using "SMTP" as the Mail Send Type in the Backlight Dashboard setting.
fsockopen(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known in SMTP.php on line 125
Site is https://www.quatrainfotographic.com
Contact form resides on this page specifically
https://www.quatrainfotographic.com/contact.php
Also here's a screen shot of my PHP Info.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5m4td6wbj46i1 … 6.png?dl=0
It appears that the "sendmail_from" field is empty with "no value". From what I've read, this should have the same eMail address as what appears in "sendmail_path" which is read from the php.ini file in the public_html folder. Does the "sendmail_from" data also need to be written into the php.ini file?
Any thoughts?
Don
Very insightful, Matt. Thanks!
Thanks, Matt. Removing that fixed the address field issue. I'll have a scroll through the CSS file as advised.
I must have an in-line rule making the the Name and eMail address fields butt up next to each other, instead of stacking top to bottom. I believe that Rod advised in the Okapi era to put in the display:Block rule to resolve that issue.
Thoughts?
Don
@Rod — I'm using "Mail" as the Mail Send Type in the Backlight Dashboard setting.
The previous version I was using prior to the Pangolin upgrade was Backlight+Pages1.1.1 [Okapi].
Here's one other peculiar thing regarding the contact form, Rod. You sent me CSS code to hide the "Address" field from the Contact Form several months ago, which worked perfectly. The address field has reappeared in the Pangolin version of the Contact Form and that CSS code is still in the style sheet. Any updates needed for this?
#form p {
display: block;
}
p.honey-pot {
display:none !important;
}

@Ben — here's the error message when using "SMTP" as the Mail Send Type in the Backlight Dashboard setting.

Sorry for all the complications.

Hi all,
I've got the exact same issues as "sprjx" with my GoDaddy hosting and CPanel eMail set up. I contacted GoDaddy tech support, and made sure to have the php.ini file uploaded with the exact syntax specified in the TTG Help.
Test Message from the Backlight Dashboard works like a charm, but only when the mode is set to "Mail" [not smtp]. When set to SMTP, it throws an error message. Debug window produced correct results.
The domain name and "From" name in the eMail match as prescribed in help file.
When I try to send a message with the Backlight Contact Form, no message appears in the InBox.
The Contact Form worked fine before the Pangolin upgrade. Since the Pangolin upgrade [using 1.2.3 now] I discovered that the contact form was not send any messages, which leaves me wondering if any prospective clients out there sent something, but then I never saw it. yikes!
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Don
The Picture Tag is a fantastic solution, Charlie. Thank you! I haven't heard of that one yet, either.
Very successful integration into the PHP module.
From reading Rod's link, it looks like this is limited to two images. If I were to identify a need for more than one re-size, it looks like media queries and using various size images as background logo might be the ticket, eh?
Thanks again for the quick replies and very useful code resources!
Don
Pangolin page designs = turning out great @ the turning gate!
I'm curious if the Top Pallet Logo can be made to behave responsively so that the social media and search buttons don't overflow, making the top pallet twice the height on small to medium size view ports. If it all elements could flow into the pallet's 48px height, it'd be a bit cleaner. Larger view ports obviously don't produce the issue. Been trying various html + css solutions with no luck.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

All good on this. Thanks, Matt!
Looks like my Backlight 1.2.2 update didn't quite take...
I'm want to change my album set layout to the new Justified, but that feature doesn't show up in the menu.
Album Set Up / Thumbnails / The Cells / Layout Style
Is this the correct path to find the Justified Setting?
I updated from 1.1.1 to 1.2.2
Removed & replaced config.php & env.php.skel along with all other folders noted in most current update ReadMe file.
Any advisement would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks,
Don
Well, that was an easy fix... Thanks very much, Ben!
Did that, but GoDaddy appears to be a bit baffled by this.
They asked whether this contact form requires a SSL.
This form used to work fine, but since the recent Pangolin upgrade it's throwing this error message.
I believe that I successfully upgraded my site to Pangolin, clear template caches as directed, and set up the Google reCaptcha keys.
When I tested the contact form in two browsers it produces this error message:
fsockopen(): Peer certificate CN=`*.prod.iad2.secureserver.net' did not match expected CN=`mail.quatrainfotographic.com' in SMTP.php on line 125
This error message is produced when the Enable reCaptcha setting in the contact form edit is switched either YES or NO.
Here's the contact form page:
http://www.quatrainfotographic.com/contact.php
I'm using GoDaddy hosting. Tried a few of different port numbers as recommended, but error persists.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks!
Don
Thank you, Sir Matt!
Hi Rod [and Matt],
Sorry for the delayed reply as the holiday week got the best of me.
Here is a link to the homepage.
http://quatrainfotographic.com/
I'm used <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-new-window"></span> immediately after the "Thinking Outloud" <h2> tag. In a standard html document I can use this code to generate the new-window glyph since those are elements nested within Bootstrap.
Thanks,
Don
Hi all,
I've been trying to get glyph icons to appear with some of my PHPlugins files.
Standard tagging this doesn't appear to work.
I thought perhaps that since a "new window" icon appears in a Backlight menu set as needed, that they could also be be called out in other html syntaxes, such as:
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-new-window"></span>
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks for your consideration,
Don
Thanks, Rod...
I'll give that a go this evening and follow up, if needed.
Backlight Crew,
I've found great success to build a introduction page to my gallery collections with the Backlight PHPlugins.
When clicking on "Lyrical Quires" in the top navigation bar, all is well across all pages in the site. My viewer is taken to the correct page because it's part of the Menu Set. http://quatrainfotographic.com/quires.php
When a viewer clicks on any one of the thumbnails from the Album Set visible below the content I've generated, that works just fine too. Example link... http://quatrainfotographic.com/quires/asia/
When however, a viewer clicks on the "Lyrical Quires" Breadcrumb on a gallery page, it only returns to the Album Set itself, without the content I've generated [NOT to the page noted]. http://quatrainfotographic.com/quires.php
Is there any way to code the "Lyrical Quires" Breadcrumb to target the "...quires.php" page?
Thanks for your consideration,
Don
Brilliant!
Thanks very much, Rod.
Yep... been doing that to make sure an 'address' field doesn't get included. Started with Default, then created a new one just to make sure.

Chrome Inspector:
<p class="honey-pot">
<label for="address"> Address *</label>
Tried doing a Find in my docs for "honey-pot" and nothing turns up.
Cleared the template cache a couple times too. Address field still appears...
Thanks very much for your insights,
Don
