#51 Re: Backlight 2 Support » When using the "Publish Now" option on multiple folders Url displayed » 2019-02-08 08:45:43

No existing albums, meta data updates I have show albums in browser after publishing checked.
So as each of the albums is updated it opens a new tab in the browser and shows what was just published (or it is supposed to, and has in the past)

Ben
downloading and installing the latest publisher solved the problem.

Thanks,
:-)
Is there a quick way to determine the LR publisher version?

#54 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Publisher... Unable to perform action: xxxx » 2019-02-07 07:23:40

Well I managed to improve, but not fix the situation.
I upgraded to HTTPS  recently, and the URL was was wrong.  Now there is a new error

Can't update this collection.

I get this when checking authentication  or trying to publish now or any other operation the xxxx above depends on the operation I try.I can login to the backlight directories.


Any ideas on what to try? 
I've reinstalled publisher, Backlight2 is up to date

If I click on the "go to updated album" in LR it brings up the correct album

#57 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Minor bug in Publisher. » 2018-09-23 05:11:05

Rod,
It appears that the each album was updated correctly and that there is no URL or content corruption,  only that the same album is displayed at the end of the update over and over rather than displaying each album that has been updated.  And the one being displayed over and over appears to be correct as well

In LR I am doing a "Publish Now" on all of the high level  galleries.
Example:
Landscapes contains and publishing it actually appears to publish (upload) all of the images to the webesite for the albums within it.
~25 albums
I have the display in browser checked, so that when each of the album is completed pops up as a tab in the browser.

What I am getting is the same album popping up in the browser 25 times, and it is neither the first nor last album(alphabetically), but third from the end.

1) I moved the unneeded directories to a holding location
2) copied in the new BL2 directories
3) Went to do the install and when it asked for password neither the old password nor ttg8888 worked and I  had login error.
4) I then tried lost password recovery and got this error

#60 Re: Backlight Support » Newline in LUA= causes images not to display when published. » 2017-11-12 23:49:28

The other image forms of Theater all present images, just not vegas.  However, only stills shows the metadata, but without the newline

I was reading Jim R post on LUA (his works for me on Windows 10, LR classic), and used his code as a prototype to suppress unwanted characters.

{LUA= if Title ~= nil and Title ~= "" then
   if Caption ~= nil and Caption ~= ""  and Caption ~= Title then return sprintf("%s  %s %s %s",  Title,  Caption, Month, YYYY)
   else return sprintf("%s - %s %s", Title, Month, YYYY) 
   end
else
   if Caption ~= nil and Caption ~= "" then  return sprintf("%s - %s %s", Caption, Month, YYYY)
   else  return sprintf("%s %s", Month, YYYY)
   end   
   
end}

I tried adding a \n character in the first sprintf; the results were that it published but the appearance of the album has no images. I am wondering if I have exceeded a margin or something?   I have only tried it with vegas, not any of the others.

I was upgrading my geo plugin from Jeffrey, and decided to revisit his token's page [http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/template].   There are many more options than there use to be now with his tokens. 

I am wondering how many of the new tokens are supported by Backlight?
Thanks,

Matt,
Thanks for the guidance.
I got the audio tag working without any problems when you gave that to me.  The issue was, it was UGLY, and from my understanding could not be styled.  THis is why I have moved on to try jplayer that you also pointed me towards, not that the current styling inn't ugly also.

Thanks,
:-)

Yes, latest version, and I suspect that my coding of it is not correct, though other than paths not sure.  I have both mp3 and ogg formats, both of which are played natively by the browser, so I think it is something else, and it falls into that error.

I thought I would gather the scattered requests into a single post.

1) Add audio playback during an album.  (the js is beyond me)
2)Have two sets of meta data, one for display during the slideshow, and a second when there are stills or or the slideshow is stopped.  The goal is to have minimal meta data during the playing, while a rich set for when it is stopped.
3 More useful examples of phplugins (Rod's red text is a start), but there was with CE2 or CE3 a breadcrumb example that was quite useful in that context.  There are working examples of css changes for useful things like gradients., but they don't appear to have occurred yet for backlight.
4) Fall back request if we don't get audio controls in BackLight, that there be some examples with js as in jplayer.
5) Confirmation that running the SQLite cleanup routine doesn't wipe out indexes for BL

Matt,
I have been playing around, beyond the limits of my ability (which is how I get better), but I'm having a hard time with jplayer to get it to work.  The simple audio controls I did and it looked UGLY.
So, officially asking for an audio/video enhancement to play audio tracks during slideshows.


http://www.patricklynchphotography.com/ … eboarding/
is the failure

Do you have any idea how to get rid of the unwanted thumbnail.
I have republished many times

Oh, and when displaying the boarding galleries, thre is no horse  in anof them, it only happens for the thumbnail

#73 Re: Backlight Support » Nested Gallery indexes uses wrong thumbnail » 2017-10-29 04:46:39

Can this be fixed by deleteing an album aand then adding it back in?

#74 Re: Backlight Support » Nested Gallery indexes uses wrong thumbnail » 2017-10-29 04:45:29

I have gone through all of the photos  for Borarders in LR and there are no horse pics in any of the albums. I have replublished multiple times and I still get that error.

#75 Re: Backlight Support » Nested Gallery indexes uses wrong thumbnail » 2017-10-28 23:13:00

Where are the thumbnails stored, I suspect  it may not be cleared, but thought I would check it.
