#26 Re: Backlight Support » Updating backlight+pages version 1.1.1 to backlight+pages 1.2.2 » 2017-07-22 01:18:11

admint

With the recent succession of update releases - 1.20a, 1.21, and now 1.22, all of which I've done, I wonder if I still need the old "standard" folders under Modules - standard-album, standard-album-set, standard-page, since I've got all the new pangolin folders? 

Thanks.

That's fine. We can still make suggestions though. Nonetheless you've explained why not, and that's good enough for me.

Thanks.

Yeah, I could see that, but It would just be cool if the switch worked on sets as well. That is if a set is hidden, all images in that set are automatically hidden from search.  Or the search feature bypasses any hidden album or album set.

Anyway it's a minor issue for me, but it could be a major if one has a private album for specific clients.

My two cents.

#29 Re: Backlight Support » Search feature reveals hidden albums » 2017-01-01 08:15:46

admint

Yeah I see it now. Thanks smile

Oh, and it would be nice if there was an option for album sets as I've got 7 albums in this one set. Editing them all for the same feature is a bit of a pain. Nothing major, but still...

Again, thanks.

Perhaps I'm missing an updated version I don't know about but there is no "Hide from Search" setting...

Album%20Edit%20Features.PNG

The application version is 3.1.1, and the backlight version is 1.1.1

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Just discovered that the search feature reveals hidden albums. During a search for a photo also brought it up in my hidden Film album.  It was my understanding you could have hidden albums with the hide album feature and not have them shown. 

To test this search for a photo named "Thoughts" and the photo will be shown in the Film album which is supposed to be hidden.

Is this a bug or something, and can it be fixed? Did I miss a setting that excludes hidden albums from searches?

Thanks.

#32 Re: Backlight Support » LR Publish error after updating to 1.1 » 2016-11-24 11:01:44

Did an album update just now and discovered I have the same error as the first post. Ben's fix (post #17) solved the problem.  Probably a good idea to re-push this update with the new file. If I hadn't remembered this thread who knows where I'd be.

That said (note to self), It'd probably also be a good idea to test site immediately after updates smile

Thanks.

Rod, he's saying he updated yesterday...

I upgraded to Backlight 1.1 yesterday and now some of the pictures don't show on the collections/sets that I have created.  Three of the thirteen do show and it is always the same three that show and the same ten that do not.

Is it possible he updated the entire directory instead of just the files and folders indicated in the Readme file, thus the issues? In short, did he "update" incorrectly?  I've done a few updates myself since running Backlight and have never seen the problems the OP is having.

I know only the OP can answer that, but I'm asking is it a possibility?

Oh, and upgraded to, or upgraded from? I.E. from Backlight 1.0 to 1.10 or from CE4 to Backlight?

Just curious.

Seems Backlight has an issue when using names with certain punctuation marks like apostrophes, like in your "Kellogg’s Tour of Championship" name.  Try removing the apostrophes and the issue should resolve themselves.  Been there, done that.

Thanks Rod, that's good info to know moving forward.

Thanks.

Hmmm... so trays work differently with regards to how code is written there?

#38 Re: Backlight Support » <ul> bullets not displaying » 2016-11-17 05:01:28

admint

I'm not sure that's what the OP is looking for but based on the code she used, this simple code should work in here trays just by pasting it there.

Anyway I just did that for a test as I'm about to delete it now since I don't need it.

Peace:)

What have you tried for changing the bullet shape? Have you tried changing it in the Typography settings?

Just FYI...

Have a look at my website's home page and notice the bulleted statements there. All I did was use <ul></ul> and got a list with squares. The code was posted directly into the page copy area.

#40 Re: Backlight Support » <ul> bullets not displaying » 2016-11-17 02:57:55

@ Deirdre,

Well that's what I used on my home page and it worked. Just pasted the code right into page copy and it worked.

Sorry for the edits, it appears I need to start double checking my posts before actually posting!

#41 Re: Backlight Support » <ul> bullets not displaying » 2016-11-17 02:49:12

Try it without the "type" In other words.. 

<ul>
    <li>Item 1</li>
    <li>Item 2</li>
    <li>Item 3</li>
</ul>

I just tried it on my home page and it works.  You don't need <ul type="square">, just open and close <ul></ul>

See this thread - http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … hp?id=7215, it may apply to you.

#43 Re: Backlight Support » errors upgrading to 1.1 » 2016-11-11 04:15:42

To me clear cache should be last, but I'm not the one who wrote the program so I can't argue the point smile

Good luck.

#44 Re: Backlight Support » errors upgrading to 1.1 » 2016-11-11 03:50:08

admint

Yeah I get your point as I'm pretty sure I also did 2 (clear cache) last. Seems more intuitive to do it that way.

#45 Re: Backlight Support » errors upgrading to 1.1 » 2016-11-11 03:39:10

admint

From the "readme" text...

"2. **Clear the Designer Template Cache** by visiting Backlight -> Designer -> Templates -> Clear Template Cache

3. **Visit each of the Backlight, Designer and Publisher admin sections** to allow Backlight to run any
necessary database updates."

Following these as written worked for me.  When you logged into Backlight you got a update notification, when you click the link for Designer, you'll get an update notification, and when you click Publisher, you'll also get an update notification. In the end you should get 3 update notifications if you've followed the above procedures.

Hmmm. I'm on Bluehost and thankfully I've not seen that error. I've never even done anything with "ionCube". Do I need to worry about this down the line?

Thanks.

Thank you again.

The pictures already have a Title written into the metadata, and it shows up in the album-set thumbnails.

Just to be sure: am I using the correct field when I use the Album settings/Image settings/Image Metadata/Photos Caption in the design-menu?

It does not seem to have any effect in the large image display whatever I write i that field?

Stig

Yeah. But using {Caption} takes the info from the "Caption" section of the meta data field. That even if you have the title section filled, you need to have the Caption section filled for the large page area to display it.  In short, if you have the title section filled, but not the caption section... the large page area will be blank.  At least that's how it's working for me. 

To be honest I'm not sure how the large area of Photoswipe reads what data because if I try to use {title} nothing is posted there. I have to use {Caption} to get titles. And both title and caption are filled in on my meta data. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

Oh, and I need to correct something I posted earlier... DO re-publish your albums when making meta data changes. I've found that not all meta data gets pushed, even with that check box checked.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your quick answer.

I now tried to add {Title} to the filed in Album settings/Image settings/Image Metadata/Photos Caption

I did not find the Title in the Large display now either

Stig

You also need to make sure you have a title written in your meta data under Lightroom. This threw me for a loop as well since I was basically relying on the image file name.

Anyway once you do that, republish your albums and your titles should show up. You could also right click Publisher, and click Edit Settings and check the box "Push meta data without updating existing photos", this will (should) update your meta data with having to re-publish your photos.

Hope this helps as I've been where you are.

I see where you can edit the "Main Copy" on the Home page.  I can not find a similar way to edit the Main Copy on My Galleries page.  In fact when you go to Designer > Pages there is not a "Galleries" page listed.  There is Home, About and Contact.

If I understand you correctly, you want to edit your gallery pages? If so...

You can edit the "galleries" through Publisher in Lightroom. If the album is already setup, right click and album, hit Edit album, click the "page content" tab and write the content you want.  Below the "page copy (MD)" box is a dropdown menu called "page copy content". Choose what you want to do. Choosing "Replace template page copy" will replace everything in the box with what you've written.

If you just want to edit the main gallery page, yes, as Matthew said, that is part of the Album template.

Hope this helps.
