I know there is a global way to change the default size of the body font. I have my own css, and I tried changing the size in the Body portion of it with no success. Also, the site does not display the ghost background I would prefer:
Code in css:
body {
background-image: http://www.BCphotoadventures.com/Images … eghost.gif;
background-attachment: fixed;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
color: #002730;
}Where have I once again gone astray?
Many thanks, as always,
The format for background image is
body {
background-image: url("paper.gif");
background-color: #cccccc;
}Regarding the font size, I would recommend to change it in Backlight. I don't know the text element you would like to change with 'body font'. There are many places on your site that have an increased specificity and therefore your body font size doesn't apply.
It looks like the keyword doesn't make it to the blog search: "http://www.bretculp.com/bret-culp-photography-blog/?s="
Yes! that did it! I did a file compare against the 02.22.2018 and today's download and there were diffs. My test site is updated and the mobile is AOK!
Thanks much!

I have created Actions in Photoshop for each copyright year, and all I have to do is click on the appropriate button. I don't find it a pain, as I only need it for exporting, and then I save it and send it along to the desired destination. For me, it is worth the extra 30 seconds or less to do it. And if I have a whole bunch of images to do, I do the same-year ones, batch process in PS, then go to the next year.
Take care,
So after the Ps action, you re-import the image in Lr so you can use Publisher? Do you do any image resizing when you export the image? Thanks!
And I should add, and this drives me nuts, Mac computers strip file names and all metadata when you send an image out through their email program. Apple should know better, and it is irresponsible of them to not inform Mac users of this, so beware. If you are a Mac owner, be sure to send your images out through a regular e-mail program (gmail, etc.) that uses the paper-clip feature to attach an image to your message.
Take care,
Not for me! The Mail tool on my Mac preserves all metadata. This is with Sierra.
This rings a bell. I think this has been fixed in the latest update. Are you using the latest version?
Mozilla, the creator of Firefox, has a document about this subject: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/wh … ecure-mean
Or it might just mean that you are hosting a site without an SSL certificate, eg, a site beginning with http:// instead of https://.
From http://www.patent-trademark-law.com/cop … ringement/
There are 2 types of damages for copyright infringement: Statutory Damages and Actual Damages. For a copyrighted work that has been registered prior to infringement the plaintiff may choose to claim Statutory Damages or Actual Damages (in addition to claiming for attorney’s fees). A plaintiff who is claiming infringement for an unregistered work may only make a claim for Actual Damages.
That's why it is important to register with the copyright office.
There is a good book about this: The Copyright Zone: A Legal Guide For Photographers and Artists In The Digital Age 2nd Edition by Edward C. Greenberg and Jack Reznicki.
Re: Digimarc
There is no way to directly apply the Digimarc when exporting an image with Publisher. You would need to export from Lr to Ps, apply the Digimarc, and then re-import into Lr. Then this image can be exported using Publisher. I don't know how much the Publisher export affects the Digimarc watermarking. You can use a droplet with Ps to simplify the flow a bit, but it is still a pain (https://digimarc.force.com/blog/using-d … -lightroom).
I'm seeing a border below my Vegas slideshow caption. It's somehow tied to the caption: caption color controls this border color.
But I can't find any css controlling this so I'm guessing it's coming from the script?http://pangolin.barbeephoto.com/galleri … lide-show/
Or I'm missing something obvious. Anybody else seeing this? I'd like to be able to make it go away.
We had this discussion during beta testing. The 'border' setting controls this, doesn't it?
Otherwise you can use
#vegas_caption p {
border-bottom: 1px solid;
border-color: yellow;
}I can see the index.php files. Cannot find any files labelled .htaccess, or a way to locate them if they are 'hidden' (why would they do that? never mind) .
For Windows:
1) Select the Start button, then select Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization.
2) Select Folder Options, then select the View tab.
3) Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives, and then select OK.
For Mac:
1) Open Terminal found in Finder > Applications > Utilities.
2) In Terminal, paste the following: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES.
3) Press return.
4) Hold the 'Option/alt' key, then right click on the Finder icon in the dock and click Relaunch.
And if you don't see them in your FTP tool, check its preferences.
in the Vegas slide show setup you have a few options for controlling the size:
Type: Full Screen or Inline
Max-Width
Aspect Ratio
In addition, there is the Image Scaling option that controls the coverage of the image in the slideshow. Fit will show the whole image. Cover will fill the size of the slideshow, which is determined by the max-width and the aspect ratio.
Cover may not show the whole image, it will simply fill the available space with the image. If the aspect ratio is 1:1 and the image is 2:3, then the 2:3 image will be cropped to 1:1.
Image Renditions > Photos Width/Height would be another one, wouldn't it?
I would send an email to Ben with the ftp login credentials so he can have a look what's going on, and include a link to this thread.
In Backlight > Settings, all your page references use https and not http?
Another reason to minimize the use of page templates: Speed! The web browser caches files such as CSS. So when you visit a page that uses a CSS file that was previously used, it is not downloaded again but taken from the cache memory. But each page template has its own specific CSS file. So when each page uses its own page template, you lose the benefit of this acceleration because for each page the web browser has to download this specific CSS file again.
Can a consistent setup for desktop and mobile be done for this or should I (once again) turn to CSS?
Yep, it is your use of custom CSS that causes these differences.... because you have custom CSS code that targets smaller screens:
@media only screen and (max-width: 991px)
.the__copy>.content {
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5);
width: 40%;Here you select a different background color and a different width. So you have to be careful with using the proper selector so only the pages in questions are affected by your changes.
I think this can be set in Backlight, if not custom css is here to help:
.gallery .item {
background-color: red;
}Just a little update: On my wide monitor, I don't get the black bars anymore. If I make the web browser very wide, the 'torn paper' disappears, but I don't think this would bother anyone. The menu works well now!
The copyright notice is there. Well, you don't see it because the font is black on a black background.....
The mobile menu (eg, sandwich icon) shows once the page is smaller. At that point, the entire image shows. So you have to check the breakpoint settings you are using for the top-pallet. Above 1024px width, the top-pallet is disabled. Hence no menu and this moves the image up as well.
And yes, please design your site for bigger screen resolutions. My laptop has 2880x1800 while my monitor is 3840x1600.
BTW, the size of you background is kind of big and takes a while to load....
I like the design on the front page better. And I second Rod's thought of using a secondary masthead for mobile. That's what I'm doing on my site.
Since your entire masthead is text, you could style it with CSS. But I think it would be easier to design two graphics that you use for the main and secondary masthead instead of having to get the CSS right for the different screen resolutions.
Here is a link you can review. http://www.kewphoto.com/bodas2017/17061 … index.html. You will see that some of the thumbnails show photos but not all are visible.
I see that following image doesn't load: http://www.kewphoto.com/bodas2017/17061 … SC0759.jpg
Did you check that the image is on the server?
(1): Your are using PHP version 7.2.1. If you can, please select 7.1 or lower. Otherwise, check Ben's reply in http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … hp?id=8421
(2): If Backlight resides in wlrm, you can't have any Backlight related pages in the root of your site '/'.
The Theater add-in is working out well. One small glitch on the Albums Set page:
One of the albums has been designated as not showing up, and yet it does.
Did you notice the closed eye symbol?
The closed eye indicates that it is a hidden album and you only see this if you are logged into the backlight backend. Open your site in another browser and you will not see the hidden album.
the best way to set these things up is to get one page template the way you want it, then clone it so the layout and navigation is the same. Then just change your background image.
Why not use one page template for all pages and use custom css to assign the background image?
With Backlight, there are now many body classes available that can be used to select a specific page or group of pages:
<body class="pangolin type-page template-id-11 template-identifier-lucfr-acceuil pages-template-id-5 pages-template-identifier-about slug-about cart-unready crg-unready" data-layout="2col left">So to select the about page, just use following code in your custom css file luc-fr.css:
.slug-about .background__image
{
background-image: url('http://pideja.ca/luc/fr/backlight/designer/?c=page&a=image&p1=8&222');
}This seems to be easier than having to create so many page templates. Can't imagine how difficult it would be to maintain all these different page templates in the future.
Did you do a new install or copied the files over from your local server? If later, I would restart with a new install.
