#551 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Use of PHP Includes Viable? » 2018-11-10 15:51:31

Daniel Leu

This is what I'm using. As you see, I tried with relative and absolute file paths.

<?php
/*
 *	TTG Core Elements "PHPlugins" User Hooks v1.2 - initialization mainline
...
 */

function user_load($style, $path) {...}

if (defined('BACKLIGHT_HOOK')) {...}

// v1
include("dlp_common.php"); 

// v2
include(realpath(BACKLIGHT_HOOK) . "/custom/phplugins/dlp_common.php"); 

class PHPlugins extends APHPlugins {...}
?>

Is there any way to get notifications for updates to /backlight/admin/list_modules/?

An email or something along the line of https://ifttt.com/applets/193786p-websi … ifications would be cool.

The best way is to follow http://theturninggate.net/blog/

Further, can PHPlugins hook into IFTTT? Are there any examples of this in use?

Hmm... what action do you have in mind?

Looks like this is a new site or install. Why don't you start with Backlight 2? It is so much easier....

#556 Re: General » TTG CE3 and PHP 7(.2) » 2018-11-10 05:10:32

Just wondering... wouldn't it be easier just to move on to Backlight 2?

I have the same problem, with hundreds of legacy galleries using CE4, many of them standalone, so hard to even find them.
So if anyone has a good code fix, I (and presumably many others) would be super grateful.

This problem is related to CE3. Please open a new ticket if you have a problem with CE4.

From http://backlight.theturninggate.net/doc … acklight_2

Delete or move aside everything from within /backlight except for /backlight/data and /backlight/custom. Make sure to leave any gallery folders untouched.

I don't seem to have Backlight > Admin > Upgrade Album Files. with my version of TTG Backlight version: 1.2.3

Go to the backlight admin page, then there is a section called Special Links.

This is what the code does. For my host, I had to edit Backlight > Admin > Settings > Advanced Settings and add this code to the .htaccess section and then perform Backlight > Admin > Upgrade Album Files.

This is what I'm using and I have it as a separate section (eg, not merged with the other IfModule section):

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>

If you can't revert back to a lower php version, then I might move ahead to migrate to Backlight 2.  Your site looks rather straightforward so that shouldn't be too difficult.

Backlight 2 can directly migrate CE4 based publisher created albums. I don't think upgrading from CE3 is supported. But CE4 can upgrade a CE3 album to CE4.

I would buy Backlight 2 and then send Matt an email and asking him for a copy of CE4 so you can upgrade your albums from CE3. That's all you do with CE4. Afterwards, you can upgrade this CE4 album to Backlight 2 and your album structure and photos are ready.

I only see "okapi-core 2.0.0". Is that it?

No, it is called Okapi Web Modules. It is the last row.

#564 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Install error » 2018-11-08 15:57:42

Daniel Leu

Did you install the okapi modules (Backlight > Admin > Backlight Modules > Okapi Web Modules)?

#565 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Converted Backlight to Backlight 2: 2 Issues » 2018-11-08 15:17:38

Daniel Leu

Thank you, Charles. You can remove guest admin. I missed that you are still using okapi based modules. It looks like there is a bug with okapi that doesn't properly set the custom.css include. I can repro this on my test setup.

Since you are using phplugins, you can add it on your own: 

function head( ) {
	// custom.css workaround
	echo '<link rel="stylesheet" href="/backlight/custom/css/custom.css" />';
}

But I would strongly urge you to upgrade to Pangolin based templates. This is where all the fun is and custom.css works there smile

#566 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Converted Backlight to Backlight 2: 2 Issues » 2018-11-08 12:47:05

Daniel Leu

I believe this is a simple setup problem. So there is no need to dig into the code and modify things. If you have changed any files in /backlight/modules/, please do a reinstall of all modules using the module manager.

You don't have to post your guest-admin password here in the forum. It is sufficient if you share it with Rod, Matt and/or me by email or direct message.

#567 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Converted Backlight to Backlight 2: 2 Issues » 2018-11-08 07:55:45

Sorry to sound like a broken record: Can you enable guest admin so one can have a closer look at your settings (Backlight > Users >Guest Admin)?

For example, how do I add EN or DE on top of my page to choose the language?

Once you add and enable a second language in backlight > admin > list_languages, the language selector automatically appears.

I checked and they did a system wide php upgrade on Monday.  Would that have changed the APIkey?

The API number the log refers to is not the API Key used with Lr. It looks like they have not upgraded all modules to their selected PHP version. Did you bring this issue up with them? That's something your host has to fix.

You should be able to set your old PHP version using the cpanel.

I converted from Backlight to Backlight 2 yesterday. My web site is functioning properly except for two issues:

1. I use a background image on all my web pages; the code for this is included in custom.css. It is not appearing on my web pages, so the link to this code has been broken somehow in the conversion process.



My website: charleskinghorn.com

Charles

your page template isn't using any custom css. Make sure your custom css file is uploaded to /backlight/custom/css and that the page template is using it.
in your template, take a look under Advanced Setup > Extensibility : Custom CSS. Enable Custom CSS and choose your file.

Hi, Rod.

My custom.css coding is in \public_html\backlight\custom\css. Also in that directory is theturninggate.css.

I have checked all my page templates, and under Advanced Customization the Custom Stylesheet is enabled and the custom.css file is included. The Include File dropdown list includes theturninggate.css, so I must be pointing to the right directory.

I cannot find your "Advanced Setup > Extensibility : Custom CSS" headings, so possibly I'm missing something and looking in the wrong place.

Charles

Since you were able to select your custom.css file, you looked at the location Rod was pointing to. But your pages don't include your custom.css. Can you enable guest admin so one can have a closer look at your settings (Backlight > Users >Guest Admin)?

Hi, Daniel.

What is a BL2 based slideshow?

Hey Rod,

I did that before I posted.  In my Contact page all copy areas are blank.  I scrolled through them to insure there was no other text, but this Loren text still shows up.

P.

This is not by chance part of your contact form (http://nuwaveimaging.com/backlight/admi … act_forms/) or your page template (http://nuwaveimaging.com/backlight/desi … templates/)? It looks like you don't have the same page template for all your pages.

Hi Jon,

These days, I think the WP REST API is probably the way to go for this stuff. It was first packaged into Wordpress in the 4.7 release. Here's an example. This function will get five posts from your blog.

function main_top() {
  $curl = curl_init();
  curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
    CURLOPT_URL => 'http://yourdomain.com/blog/wp-json/wp/v2/posts',
    CURLOPT_USERAGENT => 'User Agent X'
  ));
  $posts = curl_exec($curl);
  curl_close($curl);

  $posts = json_decode($posts, true);
  if(is_array($posts)){
    echo '<ul>';
    for ( $i = 0; $i < 5; $i++ ) {
      if (isset($posts[$i])) {
        echo '<li><a target="_blank" href="' . $posts[$i]['link'] . '">' . $posts[$i]['title']['rendered'] . '</a></li>';
      }
    }
    echo '</ul>';
  }

  return false;
