You can add following custom.css code:

.albums figure {
    max-width: 280px;
}

Ahh...... NOW I see what you mean and yeah, I get the same smile

This is due to the size of the image grid. It is bigger than the image. Due to a CSS setting, the image is enlarged: 

background-size: cover;

So you have to adjust the image grid to get the desired size.

I'm changing my response: I think it would be easier/better to make the thumbnails a bit bigger so that they properly fit the image grid.


Viel Spass!

this page: https://pangolin.der-canonier.de/galleries/ is now showing large custom thumbnails (280 x 420). If you're not seeing this, then try clearing browser cache.

hm, very strange. I deleted the cache and looked at it in Safari, Firefox and Chrome. The image is displayed in code or when I display the image with 280x420px, but the thumbnail with 389x583px when I go with the inspector on the thumbnails.

That's not possible.

I can confirm that the thumbnail image is indeed 280x420 and it is shown as such in the album grid.

But I haven't managed it yet. I always fail because of the storage space for the PNG

You would upload the image to a location on your web server such as /test/my_image.png and then you link to it as shown here http://community.theturninggate.net/help.php#img

Hello,

I'm finally starting the update of my site to Pangolin.  One thing that doesn't seem to be working for me at the moment is that previously I was using the custom PHP file to create a more complex title using ttg_masthead_top which isn't working in Pangolin.  Any ideas?

Thanks

With Pangolin, there are two different mastheads available, so the phplugins API changed a bit:

 *    ttg_masthead_primary_top
 *      - if return=false, normal Backlight masthead is skipped
 *      - called immediately before the masthead element
 *      - fully encompasses the masthead; can be used to replace it
 *
 *    ttg_masthead_primary_bottom
 *      - return value ignored
 *      - called immediately after the masthead
 *      - encompasses nothing; use to insert content after the masthead
 *
 *    ttg_masthead_secondary_top
 *      - if return=false, normal Backlight masthead is skipped
 *      - called immediately before the masthead element
 *      - fully encompasses the masthead; can be used to replace it
 *
 *    ttg_masthead_secondary_bottom
 *      - return value ignored
 *      - called immediately after the masthead
 *      - encompasses nothing; use to insert content after the masthead

You find the API functions in the phplugins sample file.

The actual thumbnail size comes from the albums. So first make sure the albums are creating thumbnails sized for your needs

Ah, okay.  Thank you very much.  For the thumbnails I created a special album "Custom_Thumbnails", as Matt explained for CE4.  I can also select them in Lightroom.

There I set the size of the thumbnails to 280*420 px under Image Renditions.

But still the size is not implemented correctly

You don't have by chance  "Push metadata without updating existing photos" selected in Lr Publisher Settings?

Okay, das sind aber ganz alte Versionen. Kannst du bitte die letzten Updates herunterladen und auf deinem Server installieren?

Hier kriegst du den Link zu den letzten Versionen. Und dann brauchst du auch noch ein Update für Okapi. Und das ist der entsprechende Link.

#734 Re: Backlight Support » Looking for "resource.php" » 2018-05-17 01:44:25

Daniel Leu

Whatever you have in pideja.css and if it uses the same CSS specificity, then it overwrites the settings from resource.php?xxx. This is the case for you.

I'm a bit confused what you would like to have. So without borders you can use

.masthead-primary {
    border-width: 0px;
}

Or with a slim border all around

.masthead-primary {
    border-width: 2px;
}

This code belongs into pideja.css. And as I show, you should only add the code that changes something from the default settings taken from resource.php?xxx.

If you are using the latest version of Backlight (and Wordpress Module), then anonymize IP is already implemented.

I saw your suggestion to update to Pangolin (Google translate). Probably a good idea. Do you know what version of Cart is being used?
I see that Cart version 4.1 and newer seems to need Backlight 1.2 or newer.

Don't know which version she is using.


Ute, welche Cart version benutzt du?  (Backlight > Cart)

Daniel,

Do you think the failure of the Cart Widget to appear has anything to do with the filenames? They all contain periods in the middle of the names.

Hi Rod,

There is at least one gallery with regular filenames and it shows the same behavior: http://shop.ug-foto.de/Galerien/hochzei … elau-2017/

Ja, danke, leider zu kurz wie immer ;-)

Ja, der fehlt.... Habe momentan keine Idee, weshalb der Warenkorb nicht erscheint. Muss da noch etwas weitersuchen.

Verwendest du die letzten Versionen der verschiedenen Backlight Modulen?

Ich sehe, dass du ein Okapi basierende Templates verwendest. Ich würde sehr empfehlen, auf ein Pangolin basierendes Template umzustellen. Dafür musst du zuerst ein neues Page Template erstellen, dann darauf basierende Album Sets and Album Template designen. Diese Templates kannst du anschliessend für deine Seiten und Alben verwenden. Das ist leider mit etwas Aufwand verbunden, aber dafür ist deine Webseite für die Zukunft bereit.

Kannst auch Google Translate (translate.google.com) verwenden um die Seite in Deutsch zu sehen.

Ich glaube, dass du da Thumbnails meinst. Die Grösse kannst du in Album Settings > Image Renditions > Thumbnails einstellen.


Good luck!

Thats why its so confusing. what about all the other thumbs. they are from 1600px images

Only the lunchbox is big, all the others are too small for your grid. Maybe you created this one when your Album settings where different.

#740 Re: Backlight Support » Low Quality Set Thumbnails » 2018-05-15 10:09:26

Daniel Leu

Just looking at the first thumbnail, it still has the same size: https://www.evagoras.co.uk/portfolio/we … nnect1.jpg

Did you republish the gallery?

#741 Re: Backlight Support » Linking two sites » 2018-05-15 09:13:02

Daniel Leu

I used another approach on my home page: I started with the source code and CSS of the thumbnail grid of a gallery and modified them to fit the desired ascetics for my home page.

#743 Re: Backlight Support » Low Quality Set Thumbnails » 2018-05-15 09:07:19

Your thumbnails are smaller than what is needed to fill your grid. So you need to make them a bit bigger. This is in the Album Settings > Image Renditions > Thumbnails. This is independent of your 1600 x 1200 image size.

I have several dozen albums that I need to update & each album has anything from 400-600 images so is this the best or only method of updating my captions?

Yes, that's the way to go.

Still not crystal clear. Is the following correct?

Currently, with one site on Bluehost (M2Phorojourney.com), I have the following at the root of the account
/public_html
       
       backlight
       Galleries
       wp-....... i.e., all the various Wordpress folders
       etc

If I set up a second site, I leave the above in place and add the following to public_html:

/public_html
        site2.com
               backlight
               galleries
               (second set of WP folders)


I just had to delete my Bluehost account due to an error on my part. Am considering going with another provider if the folder structure would more conventional

Yes, that's the structure I use with Bluehost.

Beyond the scope of anything we can do on this is customer data on server backups that your host has made.  I'm sure that that will be a headache for hosts operating in the EU.

Unfortunately it applies to all sites with customers in Europe, even if it the site is not hosted in Europe.

I am trying to place HTML code at the bottom of the content in the Top-level Galleries page, but not in its sub-galleries (e.g. galleries/topic1, galleries/topic2, etc.) using phplugin.

I can't test it right now, but following might work for your case:

if (strcmp($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], "/galleries")) {
    echo "this is my html code";
