I switched to SSL a while ago and it was very easy to do. Pay attention to Charlie's post: http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … 289#p47289. This is part of the thread Rod posted.
For the .htaccess file, I would recommend to download the BL2 installer again and use the .htaccess file from there. This way you have the latest version.
Hi Michael,
Merry Christmas to you too!
I zipped up my old installation, copied it to the new host and unzipped it it over there. Then I just needed to adjust a few backlight settings, and in your case, API settings in Lr and that's it. No need to republish anything.
It helped that I had ssh command line access at both hosts. So zipping and unzipping was a blast. And I used wget to copy the zip file from the old host to the new one. Command line access is a bit more dangerous since it is easy to screw up an entire installation, but some tasks like moving to a new host, are so much faster.
How is it possible that you see the images according to the right size and I see them bigger....
Sorry, I didn't say that they have the right size! I said that both were scaled down but by a different factor. Your images are too big to be shown in their original size!
I don't see any changes on my system.....
On my laptop, the images in the left column are 326x223. The images on the right are 882x254. Those dimensions are the displayed size not the effective image size. Due to responsive design and column width size constraints, both images are scaled down but by a different amount.
I would suggest that you make your images smaller so that they appear the same size, at least when your page is viewed at maximum size.
In this case, please email your backlight and ftp login, and a link to this thread to Ben so he can have a closer look at this issue: http://community.theturninggate.net/profile.php?id=101
What happens when you execute /backlight -> Special Links -> Update Album Files
Can you create a new album/album set from /backlight/publisher?
If you go to /backlight/publisher, do you see the albums? If yes, delete them or modify them there. If no, you can delete them in /galleries. If you get an error deleting them with FTP, try to log into the cpanel on you web host and delete them there.
Yes, an album set is a container for albums and other album sets. Per default, the top-level album set resides in /galleries.
I think I found where I was missing it.
It is always nice to mention what was missed in order to help others that happen to find the thread. Thanks!
Pierre, for 2019, I would put on top of my list of resolutions: Upgrade my sites to use single backlight installation :-)
Merry Christmas!
Did you set the Wordpress URL in admin/settings?
Did you install the Okapi modules in Backlight > Admin > Backlight Modules? They are needed if your site is Okapi and not Pangolin based.
Your html code is not complete:
<a href="/?language=fr"></a>The French language links is missing a name. Did you assign a name in the language editor? It should look like this in the generated code
<a href="/?language=fr">Français</a>I use ttg_crumbs to add breadcrumbs to regular pages to provide a more consistent look. More about this at http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … hp?id=8430
Just having ttg_crumbs() in your phplugins file doesn't do anything since it has to be called from main_top.
But where is on my test-site the french language in the top pallet language selector ?????????????????????????
Rainer
Did you enable it? It works on my test site.
where is the problem? I have always to translate the text. Not much more work, only less of files.
Rainer
Since your site is already up and running, I understand and agree that there is little incentive to change that.
Do you mean the problem in the menu bar from my first post? Yes, only in Safari MacOS, High Sierra.
Rainer
Do you have a screen capture?
Did your host change the PHP version by any chance? I would contact them to check their php installation.
I do not know how the multi language support works. Maybe for images but not for different websites with a lot of text. Do you understand what I mean?
Yeah, I do. It is a bit trickier with a lot of text, but if you follow the link I provided, you see the concept.
You can encapsulate entire sections with divs
<div data-lang="en">English content...
</div>
<div data-lang="de">Deutscher Inhalt...
</div>
<div data-lang="fr">Contenu en Francais...
/div>This works perfect, but not in Safari MacOS I wrote. Only this is my problem.
I can jump between the different languages using Safari MacOS as I can do with the other browsers. I don't see any difference. This seem to work for me. This is with Safari 12.0.1 on MacOS Mojave.
In Deutsch:
Ich habe das nicht programmiert sondern über die Menuefunktion erstellt.
Untermenues erstellt und sonst nichts gemacht. Keine Ahnung-Rainer
It behaves the same for Chrome, Safari and Firefox. What is the expected behavior?
BTW, Backlight 2 now support multi language support. This enables one to switch between two versions of the same page. More at http://backlight.theturninggate.net/doc … ge_support
Hi Rainer,
Your code only has one sub-item:
<li class="menu-item menu-item-has-children"><a href="/home_e.php">English </a>
<ul class="sub-menu">
<li class="menu-item"><a href="/home_f.php">Française</a></li>
</ul>
</li>Going to your homepage, I get following error
Something went wrong
Unable to find index page.Did you delete index.php?
I replaced those files, and did an update on the index files and the album files, and the galleries are now working. My "about" and "contact" pages are not.
It looks like you are upgrading from CE4. Do you have files such as contact.php, about.php etc in your home directory? If yes, they need to be removed, but don't delete index.php ;-)
You might want to run "Update Album Files". This can be found under "Special Links" in the Backlight admin dashboard.
Just noticed that if I change the width in
.page__pallet__top { background-image: url("https://pideja.ca/duc/backlight/designer/page/image/8"); background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 1440px; height: 50px; }The whole Top pallet changes size, but not the logo! Is it because the logo is a background? Why isn't the top pallet responsive when the logo is applied to it?
When both the CSS and the PHP are turned off, the top pallet (with the navigation) is responsive. But alas, no logo.
Well, you are setting the size of .page__pallet__top and not the size of the background image. That's why you break the responsive behavior! To set the background image size, please see https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_p … d-size.asp.
