#576 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Converted Backlight to Backlight 2: 2 Issues » 2018-11-05 05:52:11

Hmm... your slideshow is a video. So maybe this has to do with the following https://developers.google.com/web/updat … cy-changes

I would change your slideshow to a regular BL2 based slideshow instead of using a video based slideshow.

Hi Jon,

With Bl2, phplugins are now class based. Did you implement the changes listed at http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … hp?id=8966. Otherwise could you please post the entire function you use? Thanks!


Best

#578 Re: Backlight 2 Support » URL mix up » 2018-11-03 03:55:53

Try to add an .htaccess file in the mentioned subdirectories and put this in there:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm default.htm

This is for the subdirectories and NOT the home directory.

#579 Re: Backlight 2 Support » URL mix up » 2018-11-03 03:51:05

Using subdomains would be something like atn.pideja.com. What you have are installations in subdirectories. Since those installations are not TTG based, I can't really say what's going on. Most likely your installations in the subdirectory inherit some of the main .htaccess file settings. But that's really just pure speculation.

I use Lightroom 6 with Backlight 2. In all the "Features/Enable passwords" boxes are greyed out. In Album Sets and on Albums.

I need to create some sort of gallery set (might be called something like "Clients" or so) that would contain other gallery sets with thumbnails leading to each of the Clients galleries. These would have to be password protected.

Can this be done?

Pierre, this is an old thread for Backlight. Please open a new thread with your question in the Backlight 2 forum. Thanks!

Matt and Rod, I understand your comments. I'm getting more mixed-up with each instance of creating or updating my subsites. I would indeed be simpler and more coherent to have but the one URL, i.e. pideja.ca or whatever, having the other sites as galleries (?)

It might be not that much more work than you think since the design work is already done. I would really considering going to a single-site installation.

Adding to what Matt said, you can also style each client area of your site differently by simple using different page templates.
It would look like each is a different site but you wouldn’t need to create separate sub-domains and struggle with installing Backlight multiple times.

Adding to that, you can have even custom menus!

#583 Re: Backlight 2 Support » More upgrade to Backlight 2 woes » 2018-10-31 07:29:42

I don't really know what you are doing, Pierre. But why don't you have just one site with galleries for your different ventures/clients?

What I noticed is that the images of your slideshow are not present.

I am reluctant to have to republish several gig of albums at this time to change this.

You don't have to republish all images. There is an option for publisher to update metadata only. Then it is really quick.

#586 Re: Backlight 2 Customization » How to customize the Top Pallet? » 2018-10-23 05:17:56

I think you need to use something like this:

    <li data-lang="en" id="contact"><a href="/contact/"><i class="fa fa-envelope-o" title="Contact"></i></a></li>
    <li data-lang="de" id="kontakt"><a href="/kontakt/"><i class="fa fa-envelope-o" title="Kontakt"></i></a></li>

Note, I haven't tested this!

Putting a div around the two list items (<li>...</li>) doesn't work since they are both part of an unordered list (<ul>...</ul>).

BTW, I like how you are supporting two languages! I don't have an intention to add this to my page, but if I would, I replaced the globe with EN and DE depending on the currently active language. This seems a bit more intuitive to me and more common around the web.

#587 Re: Backlight 2 Customization » How to customize the Top Pallet? » 2018-10-23 04:52:01

To change the order I would create all items in phplugins. Look at the source code of your page to identify which objects you need to add, eg. search and disable them in Backlight 2.

For multi-language support, it should be sufficient to add the proper attributes (data-lang="de") as shown in the documentation at http://backlight.theturninggate.net/doc … ge_support.

DonWa2,

You should be able to use any valid PHP in PHPlugins files. If you're attempting to add PHP to the page content through Backlight's admin, that's not going to work.

Didn't think of that... most likely that's the culprit.

#590 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Cell numbers in CRG gallery? » 2018-10-21 04:46:41

Change the image title so that it doesn't contain the filename: [title] => RDV180922-8862.jpg

#591 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Editing the "Help" panel » 2018-10-21 04:40:45

This can be configured in the gallery template settings of your CRG gallery. It is all the way at the bottom of the page.

#592 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Cell numbers in CRG gallery? » 2018-10-21 04:37:00

AFAIK, if the image has no title, then the filename is used.

Sorry, note really. That's something that would need to be written first.

#594 Re: CE4 Gallery » Downloading All Images at Once » 2018-10-18 00:37:15

With Backlight 2, this can be implemented using phplugins thanks to $this->album and $this->photo being exposed.

Is there any progress on this? If the above works? If there is an additional and hopefully simpler explanation of how this would be done in current version. I have the client asking to download all, other methods above are not great, and retail file sharing services were also not a good in this case. Since I have given the CRG as an option for them, it is now embarrassing, and another workaround for them and me.

If I understand you correctly, you like to download all images of a gallery at once, not just a selection?

#596 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Album Template » 2018-10-17 12:16:29

Hmmm... I don't think they use the same album templates:

<body class="pangolin type-album template-id-22 album-template-id-23 album-template-identifier-PVBC slug-516_09152018 cart-unready crg-unready" data-layout="1col left">

<body class="pangolin type-album template-id-22 album-template-id-24 slug-515_09012018 cart-unready crg-unready" data-layout="1col left">

The album template id is different.

So I found the “Hide from album set” in the features tab but turning this on only resulted in an eye icon with a stroke through it appearing beside the gallery name.

The eye icon indicates that this is a hidden album and it is only visible while you are logged in as admin. Open the gallery in a different browser or log out and you will notice that the hidden album is indeed hidden. I would select the 'hide from search' flag as well since you don't want this album to be found when searching your site. It is next to the 'hide from album set' flag.

I know. Can't access pideja.ca/gbc nor pideja.ca/gbc/backlight/
I re-installed the .htaccess file and the index.php file as well.
Also the url indicated when trying to access Backlight shows this:
http://pideja.ca/gbc/backlight/backligh … installer/

AFAIK, this means that there is an error with /gbc/backlight/index.php and/or /gbc/backlight/.htaccess.

Did you copy the following files as indicated?

zipfile/.htacess > /gbc/.htaccess
zipfile/index.php > /gbc/index.php
zipfile/backlight/.htacess > /gbc/backlight/.htaccess
zipfile/backlight/index.php > /gbc/backlight/index.php

But you can get to the installer: http://pideja.ca/gbc/backlight/installer/

This upgrade is starting to feel like previous TTG upgrades but I am hoping I just missed some information along the way.

That's because you are coming from CE4. Last Friday, I upgraded my site from BL1 to BL2 and within minutes my new site was up and running.

Some metadata is there: [crg_meta01] => 2/52, but I don't see [thumbnails_meta01]
