Hi Ben, would love to have an option to define when a discount kicks in. Such as, get 20% when you spend more than $100. Thanks!
I tried to access your mp3 file but without success. Is the path /backlight/custom/data/ts484986.mp3 correct?
Anyway, I do not advice to use a Flash based solution since this will not play on iPads etc...
Hmm... I just downloaded the jplayer files and they date back to 2014. That's almost dead on arrival for me as this code hasn't been updated in the last 3 years.
Did you look at the html <audio> tag? That's now standard with modern browsers. More at https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_av_dom.asp and here is an example with a Adobe Flash (ouch) fallback https://html5tutorial.info/html5-audio.php for old browsers.
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
First, I don't like sites that play music.... to the extent that the site really has to be good that I stay there for longer....
But I'm curious to see why this doesn't work for you! Something strange is going on. Apart of some CSS issues, I get the message
Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.When when I go to the jplayer site, it plays the music.
Are you using the latest version of the code?
There seems to be something off with your setup as all the menus are pointing to a wrong address and some CSS includes can't be found either.

Sorry for the late response. I somehow missed your first post on this. There isn't such a setting in the Cart. I'll add this to my list of prospective features for the cart, to see how it could be implemented.
Hey Ben, sorry I'm hijacking this thread... I would love to give discounts when one spends a certain amount. Eg, get 20% off on your purchase of $100 or more. Could you please add this to your prospective features list? Thanks!
Daniel, sounds like you might have a workshop opportunity on your hands! ;-)
Backlight is so easy to use, I don't think that would be necessary :-) Unless there is indeed a demand for this...
Good catch. I've delved further and updated my post, above.
Cool! Now everything makes sense! Thanks!
Hi Ben,
Image http://rick.samcos.com/galleries/j-2013 … 8505-7-HDR has Garnet in the name and is part of the Garnet album. Following your explanation, this album should have shown anyway. Just wondering...
There is one image that has Garnet in the image title and is part of the Iceberg Lake gallery: http://rick.samcos.com/galleries/j-2013 … 64915-1037. So it is correct that this album is shown. But it is strange that the Garnet album is not found. The Favorites albums should be shown as well since it has images from Garnet Lake. This is something for Ben to look at.
It would be helpful if you post Rob's and Ben's code, or at least a link to their respective posts. The easier you make it for someone to look at the code, the more likely it is to get a solution.
Child themes work with Backlight. Did it for my site.
But the configuration in #12 is not correct.... if you can correct the configuration, good, otherwise #17.
This is what I did today and last night.
I don't think you did a fresh install before you tried to access it as I pointed out.
Continuity mainly Daniel. Even so, I just don't see why it isn't a simple case of pointing a subdomain into a directory and it working.
Because it is a subdomain and not a subdirectory. You are confusing Backlight as Ben pointed out and you are configuring for the wrong domain.
It is really easy:
1) fresh install for subdomain.domain.com
2) configure backlight via subdomain.domain.com/backlight
That's it.
Sorry buddy - none of that worked either for access to the domain, or admin.
This should not be so complicated. I've set lots of subdomains up. Maybe it's time for a re-think.
The only think that works is by directly going to www.simonjameswilliams.co.uk/myevent/galleries
And now even that looks messed up!
You need to start with a new install and then go to http://myevents.simonjameswilliams.co.u … n/?a=login.
Off topic: what is your reason to use a subdomain?
For Backlight, your site URL should be myevents.simonjameswilliams.co.uk. You should _never_ ever use http://www.simonjameswilliams.co.uk/myevent/.
So when you log into Backlight, it would be myevents.simonjameswilliams.co.uk/backl … n/?a=login
Think of the subdomain just like an independent other domain that has nothing to do with simonjameswilliams.co.uk.
The album type field was fixed, and not selectable,.
Maybe it is just a matter of a pangolin vs okapi module type mismatch.
so I figure that I had not done an upgrade correctly. So I went back and did a re install of prior releases to see if that fixed the issue. (it didn't).
Backlight has a lot of configurations in a database. When upgrading to a newer version, you might have noticed the database upgrade notifications. I don't know if an older version of a module works with a newer database version. Please updated again to the latest version of all releases.
As Ben pointed out, your subdomain directory may only be accessed using your subdomain URL. Bluehost, for example, does a strange thing as it maps the subdomain directory into your regular directory. This looks to be the same for you.
Best is to put this subdomain directory outside of your regular directories, maybe call it http://www.simonjameswilliams.co.uk/subdomain_events. There you'll need to have a complete backlight installation with a separate Lr publishing service. And you will only access it as http://events.simonjameswilliams.co.uk.
Brilliant implementation
Thank you, Tom!
Thank you for your kind words, Charlie & Matt!
I would use two publisher instances as well. Maybe you can use smart collections for the second instance to duplicate the gallery content of the first publisher instance.
For a few months I had a test site running Pangolin, but only now I finally got around to update my main site. It looks very similar to the previous Backlight version, but takes advantage of some of Pangolin's new features. I'm very happy with my new footer design ;-) The deployment was much easier than with the original Backlight due to several backend enhancements! (yep, that's possible!)
The site uses a heavy dose of phplugins and custom css. I will look into this to further streamline it and maybe one day I'll be able to share the templates.
Here is the link: http://danielleu.com.
Thank you Matt & Ben providing such a great product that can be adapted and enhanced to one's taste!
Try updating the okapi modules: http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … hp?id=7769. This helped others before.
I then tried using Friedl's Metadata Wrangler and it didn't remove metadata data either. I used its "remove all metadata" preset and all image metadata was still published.
As far as I know, the Backlight Lr Publishing service doesn't support export plugins. So it makes sense that Jeffrey's plugin doesn't work.
Therefore my conclusion that the "TTG Publish Service" is completely broken w.r.t. metadata filtering. But I still can't believe that I'm the only one to have experienced & reported this problem (i.e., I'm still questioning my own sanity).
Well, it seems to work for me. I have Copyright & Contact Info selected and I don't see other metadata in my images. This is one of my more recent images: http://danielleu.com/galleries/_recent_ … single.php
