#52 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Cart auto switch language don't work » 2020-04-24 21:28:04

thank you Rod, I tried all this but nothing works.

When I set English by default in BackEnd, the basket is well translated but does not want to go back to French when I click on the icon in FrontEnd.

Weird, there is a bug but I can't understand where it is ...

Thanks Rod,

I already did that, configure the languages via the Backlight Languages page and the 2 languages in Cart module, but nothing helps.

I had to start translating into the 1st language (French) of the Cart module with the following technique:

<span data-lang="en">Ajouté au panier</span><span data-lang="en">Add to cart</span>


But it doesn't work with all buttons. For example, BUTTON_VIEW_CART, BUTTON_BACK_TO_THE_GALLERY, BUTTON_COMPLETE_YOUR_ORDER and BUTTON_CHANGE_YOUR_ORDER returns errors to me or the button is not displayed correctly ...

I can't find why Cart doesn't translate automatically because the rest of the website translates very well and goes well from one language to another

Hello,

A question that I never found the answer to.

My site is configured to have two languages "French" by default and "English".

Everything is ok for the text pages, on the other hand for the Cart module I have set up the two languages well but even if we click on the language icon and we switch to English language, the part of the "Cart" module, the buttons, the basket, the validation page and customer information remains in French.

Have you been faced with this problem?

Here is my site:

thank you in advance

Hello,

I have a character encoding problem when I share the link from my Backlight library to facebook. The encoding of accented characters is not good. Have you ever encountered this problem?

For information my home page is an album published from lightroom in which I wrote the html directly in "Page Content" "Main Copy" in:

Backlight> Publisher> Galleries> Albums

hummm ... I admit I don't remember how I did it anymore, I look and come back here

#60 Re: Backlight Showcase » Photo stock with Backlight 2 - Cart module » 2019-07-04 22:42:49

Thank you so much chumby,

First of all, my first image bank with Backlight v1 was composed of several albums (1 per category). Everything was managed and separated in lightroom as smart albums in an album collection.

It was very well done, but by force it was very heavy to manage (at the level of the keywords, it was necessary to be rigorous so that each photo goes in the good albums ...) then Lightroom was very very slow to manage a lot of Smart Album (in an album collection, a horror, it grinded without stopping), and I had to browse the different albums, check the presence of the photos and update them (moreover a photo could be found in several categories, for example a lake could be in the category "lake" and "landscape" etc ...). So with the move to the v2, I decided to completely review but how to manage the photo library.

It turns out that lightroom manages very well and without slowing down a smart album of more than 3000 photos, rather than a collection composed of several smart album.

After reflection and put everything on the table with a plan on paper, indeed, all the images are in the same album at the source, like this, visitors can automatically see the latest added photos, then wander through the photo library. Categories are managed directly on the server. In fact, they are just search results.
If the visitor is looking for a specific photo, there is the search module.

Moreover, if I want to change the categories, it's very simple, everything is done online and I do not need to update the albums in lightroom.

So, thank you for your compliments and I hope I have been pretty explicitly clear! lol

Hi,

I have a bug in the Cart module,
when I edit the sentence in Backlight / Cart / Languages / FR France / Manage Language / Order Email: "TEXT_DOWNLOAD_LINK_APPROVED"

In the order update mail I still have the old text. I cleaned all the caches (Browsers, backlight, Reset Cart) I also tried to reinstall Backlight, Cart, to return the original text, tried with different email address, nothing done, in the mail received by the client the text does not change. Similarly by setting the language English by default, this text remains in French

Thanks
Nico

so that reassures me Ben!  I searched for hours tearing my hair, until I fell on it, I did not even remember having activated this option wink

Finally, after weeks of development, php and CSS coding .... my photobank is online!

I would first like to thank the developers, Ben and Matthiew for their availability, and their advice, but also the moderators of this forum, Rod Barbee and Daniel Leu for their support and their valuable advice that helped me develop, especially at the PHP coding level (I am a real beginner and did not know anything about it a few weeks ago).

Thank you for everything!

I had in mind to use Backlight to set up a photo library of my images. Just using Backlight, without wordpress.
I would keep it clean and simple.

My requirements were:
-A single album
-a simple search system
-a search system by category
-Several print format
-Several possiblity to purchase licenses depending on use (standard and extended) as well as the duration of operation
-Multiple file size (Web, print, and full HD)
-A system of payment by paypal (ok easy, proposed by default!)
- A deferred payment system with choice (check, bank transfer, mandate for administrations and request for quote) thank you Daniel Leu!
-The ability to download the watermarked low definition image
-the possibility to display the total number of images
-The ability to display the number of photos according to the search criteria
-A multilingual site (French and English)
-Make the album the homepage (a .htaccess redirect)
-Propose  pricing scheme adapted to each image format (standard color, standard black and white, color pan and black and white pan)
-Indicate mentions (mandatory or not) to different places in the cart module on the order confirmation page
- A personalized footer (thank you Daniel Leu)
- Custom messages in the following search module if photos are found or not or if there are search criteria.
-A Scroll to top
-A customizable lightbox and captions that adapt to the metadata present or not
-A maintenance mode based on the .htaccess file

 and many customization. Backlight is a great tool for photographers and after a grip, it's something really effective and well built.

On the side of things to improve or that I did not manage to do:

-Making Cart module in Multilig (English and French), when I choose the Backlight cart language cart does not change language.
-To appear a small information icon on each thumbnail to display a popup of metadata, legends etc ...
-Propose a decreasing price according to the number of ordered photo in the basket

And some pages to translate, but really time consuming

That's it, my site is online at this address:

Thank you
Nico

#69 Re: Backlight 2 Support » All checkout mail (vendor and client) send to client mail (Resolved) » 2019-06-22 01:58:23

I found that:

Backlight/Setting/Show advanced Setting/demo mode was set to yes

It was that !

I did not see this setting, the only one I saw was paypal Live or test.

This one was well hidden! 2 hours of research !!

once again, thank you Rod for your time!

#72 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Backlight 2 Upgrade - No Cart » 2019-06-22 00:40:58

same here, the passage of version 1 to version 2, I thought it was not necessary to resume a license Cart, but apparently so.  I bought a license.  you must be eligible for a discount as a cart user.  but it's not that expensive and it's worth it.  and for publishers it also helps to support them, after all at least Backlight does not work in subscription and it's great, so it does not matter I do not mind paying for major updates

#74 Re: Backlight 2 Support » All checkout mail (vendor and client) send to client mail (Resolved) » 2019-06-22 00:29:09

Yes Rod,

The default setting was Mail at the beginning. When I noticed the error I put this SMTP settings of my server, but the problem persists
