#51 CE4 Publisher » Publisher Setup metadata Token won't display Photo Date » 2014-10-30 01:42:13

Replies: 4

If I set any of the Publisher Setup fields to date it enters {month} {date}, {yyyy} which is the Current Date - but I want the Photo date which is {Month} {Date}, {YYYY}.  Even if I manually enter the Photo Date the page defaults to the Current Date when it's published.  How can I get it to show the Photo Date?

Thanks

I tried .mfp-arrow and .mfp-arrow-left in the custom_thumbnail css but it doesn't work.

#53 Re: CE4 Auto Index » What aspect ratio should I use in Iconic for a thumbnail border? » 2014-10-30 01:19:37

Go it, thanks.  It's just seems odd that if I select "Custom" in the Edit Album Cover Image dropdown, nothing happens.  But the actual cover image is the first one in the long list of images under custom.  Is that the way it's supposed to work?

I would like a thumbnail border of approximately 10px in Auto Index using Iconic.  Iconic only has numbered settings for Aspect Ratio - there is no auto selection.  I tried setting it visually to 4 and 3 which looked OK in the preview but the published version has no border.  How do I calculate the Aspect Ratio of these thumbnails? 

Thanks

#55 Re: CE4 Publisher » How do I publish a set of Albums within a folder in CE4? » 2014-10-24 00:12:40

charles_i

Got it thanks.  I missed the point about this being the only way to do it using Publisher, you can't create a top-level using the Album Sets.  My point about the slug was just that it would be nice if you could create the top-level of that Album Set by putting it in the slug.

Thanks

#56 Re: CE4 Gallery » How do I change cell number size and make labels show up on thumbnails » 2014-10-23 01:44:20

Thanks, I figured it out.  In case anyone else has these problems.

Labels - use Metadata1 and Metadata2 for the preview (Title and Caption don't appear in preview) and use the same fields in in Publisher Setup if using Publisher

Phplugins - on my server I had to use an absolute path to the CSS file  in phplugins.php - a relative path doesn't work

And for .cellnumber styles I had to use !important.

#57 Re: CE4 Publisher » How do I publish a set of Albums within a folder in CE4? » 2014-10-23 01:13:43

place them all under one top-level folder and then use Album Sets to further segregate.

Can you elaborate please?  How do I get Publisher to place each year under the top-level WildWood folder? If I create an Album Set called WildWood then do I create another set called WildWood 2014 with an Album called 2014 inside that?  The Slug does not accept a folder level (like WildWood/2014).

I finally got this working in CE3 after lots of consultation.  Now, I need to do it in CE4.  I have my root folder setup as

whatwant.ca/photog/

Inside that I want several top level folders that will contain separate galleries.  So for WildWood I want all of the WildWood Albums to be here:

whatwant.ca/photog/WildWood/

So when I publish each year within that the Albums will be


whatwant.ca/photog/WildWood/2014
whatwant.ca/photog/WildWood/2013

etc.

How do I publish within a folder?  I didn't have to create a separate connection in CE3 for each folder, but I can't figure out how it worked.

BTW this upgrade to CE4 has been a killer.  I know you've received a lot of feedback about this, but personally I can't see upgrading again to a CE5 or beyond if it means rebuilding all the templates ever again.  Way too time consuming, to not only do it, but also figure out the procedure since it's been years since I did it the first time.

Thanks
Charles

Sorry, but the only instruction given about the location of these files is:

"Enable this function to implement the custom.css file in your website."

Where exactly is "in your website"?  I tried in the gallery/cart-default online but that doesn't work for me either.  It doesn't make sense that changing my CSS file online will affect the Web Preview window in LLT 5.

#60 Re: CE4 Gallery » How do I change cell number size and make labels show up on thumbnails » 2014-10-18 04:10:12

charles_i

I tried this already - added this to the custom css but it made no difference in the LR preview.

.cellnumber {
    font-size:10px;   
}


Even when I correct the path.  Something is wrong with the structure of this.  My CE4 Gallery is here:


C:\Users\Charles\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries\CE4-Gallery.lrwebengine\lib\phplugins\

inside that folder is phplugins.php

and the CSS folder is inside of that (not inside phplugins) - in the linked code it has this as the path:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/phplugins/css/custom.css" />

which can't be right because I'm already in the phplugins folder - but even f I remove that I still don't get a hideous red background to show that it's working.


And yes I am using Publisher, but is there not a way to see in the Web Preview how Date, Filename and Cell Nummber layout will look like it was in CE3?

And when I tried to Publish this folder I got the error message: "An internal error has occurred TTGPublsihServiceProvider.lua.623 attempt to concatenate field 'watermark' (a nil valune)"

I've never used Watermarks.

I can't figure out how to change the default cell number size in the thumbnails.  I found this post in a search but it doesn't work for me:

http://community.theturninggate.net/top … ormatting/

Do I actually have to drill down into AppData/Roaming... etc. and modify CSS code to do this?  Why isn't it just a text size slider like some of the other areas (ie Topography).

And I can't get the labels I've chosen (Title and File Number) to appear in the thumbnails either - I was able to do this in CE3.

Notepad++ looks great.  I create a lot of quick text files in my day-to-day work so this is a real bonus.  Thanks Rod!

Actually no I wasn't - that's probably why I'm running in to this.  However, now that I've had a closer look, the text file, which is written in one unformatted paragraph that starts with "====== CE4 Publisher Changelog ======" actually has instructions buried between large chunks of Changelog items so it's not easy to see that there are instructions in the middle of it. It reminds me of a compressed CSS file with no spacing between each item.  I think if it had some hard returns in it, and began with Instructions and ended with Changelog it would be more obvious that there are instructions in there to follow.

Now that the API info is found online instead of in a php file every time you guys issue another update - which is very frequently lately smile it seems I have to reconfigure the API key and settings.  Is there a file within the updates that contains this info that can be skipped when uploading each new update that contains that info?

Thanks

#65 Re: CE4 Publisher » Migrate attempt from CE3 authentication in CE4 gives an error » 2014-07-26 00:20:26

charles_i

It's OK I got it, thanks.  Problem was I was confused because this is the path for CE3

http://mywebsite.com/publisher/api/

and this the path for CE4:

http://mywebsite.com/ttg-be/publisher/

There is no "api" folder in CE4.

Hi guys,

I've followed the guide and installed CE4 Publisher in the ttg-be folder.  However when I Check Authentication in CE4 it says "Authentication check was successful, however publisher found the following problem:  Unable to find the directory photog..." which is the name of my 'galleries' folder and is on the root level of my site.  CE3 still connects to the 'photog' directory without a problem (permissions are set to 777) so I wonder why CE4 doesn't. 

And the Migrate Publisher says  that the API URL between Source and Destination doesn't match - and says to update "these settings" in CE4 Publisher and try again.  So for example

http://mywebsite.com/

http://mywebsite.com/api/

However api is in neither of those folders - it's in http://mywebsite.com/ttg/be/publisher/api/

But maybe this is due to the fact that there is no CE4 connection yet.

Thanks
Charles
