#901 Re: Backlight Support » Slideshow on Home Page » 2017-10-04 04:48:12
Daniel... love the look and feel of your site. Is that all done with Backlight?
Thanks! Yes, all Backlight with a decent sized serving of CSS and phplugins.
#902 Re: Backlight Support » Slideshow on Home Page » 2017-10-04 03:38:09
Thanks for that option as well... I'll need to see some examples of what that add-on can do before purchasing... things are shaping up well for my current needs at this time.
There are several user examples at http://community.theturninggate.net/viewforum.php?id=40 that have the slideshow on their home page. One of them is mine.

Frank, you might want to get the latest Okapi modules as well: http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … hp?id=7769

There is sense... Gallery is build for my clients. Pictures with them and their wedding guests can be shared by themselfs
In this case, you might just hide the album. This way, the guests need the direct link to the gallery and other visitors will not see it.
#905 Re: Backlight Support » publish with the feature "hide from album set" doesn't hide » 2017-08-23 09:49:16
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.
#906 Re: Backlight Support » Backlight 1.2.2 release 2 failure » 2017-08-17 06:08:59
Did you do this afterwards?
2. **Visit each of the Backlight, Designer and Publisher admin sections** to allow Backlight to run any
necessary database updates.
#907 Re: Backlight Support » Fancybox Slideshow » 2017-08-16 02:10:30
You may be able to edit the file yourself. I've not tested it.
It looks like the file to edit might be backlight\modules\pangolin-album\dynamic\js\fancybox.cfg.php
You can find Fancybox Options documentation here: http://fancyapps.com/fancybox/3/docs/#options
And it looks like the code to add will look like this, only with your own numbers:
slideShow : { autoStart : false, speed : 4000 },I'm not sure where you would add that in the file. Maybe at the beginning of the section marked with:
/**
* +Fancybox Gallery
*/perhaps right before the animationEffect: setting.
Oops, didn't realize that it was not a Vegas slideshow question....
Rainer, once you edit the file Rod pointed to, you will most likely need to clear the template cache (Designer -> Special Links -> Clear Template Cache)
#908 Re: Backlight Support » Fancybox Slideshow » 2017-08-15 23:50:46
Yes, it is called 'slide delay' and it is part of the Vegas slideshow section.
#909 Re: Backlight Support » Migrating to a new computer » 2017-08-15 06:05:59
I would start like Mark with exporting your brother's images. Then I would try a different approach: duplicate your existing catalog and open it, then remove everything but your brother's images and publishing service(s). At the end update the image folder location. This way you should be able to preserve the Publisher services and existing albums. But if you have only a few albums, Mark's approach might be the fastest.
And before starting, make a backup of _everything_ just in case a wrong click on something needs to be reversed.
#910 Re: Backlight Support » drop down menu items with a line break? » 2017-08-15 01:51:24
I played a bit with the css inspector. To get the two lines, first, I think, you need to change block to inline-block:
nav li > a, nav li > span {
display: inline-block;}Next, the line height needs to be adjusted
nav a, nav span {
height: 44px;
line-height: 44px;
}If the line-height is identical to the item height, you can't get two lines to show.... But this change should only target your 2-line menu items.
Oh, on mobile menu, your 'new' doesn't show up, neither does Ireland. So either you make your menu wider or shorten the length of menu items.
And I would try to not to use so many !importants in your css file. It is better to find the correct selector to overwrite the default assignment. But yeah, that's not always easy to do nor possible.
Just my 2 cents.
#911 Re: Backlight Support » drop down menu items with a line break? » 2017-08-14 09:52:13
A link might be helpful!
#912 Re: Backlight Support » drop down menu items with a line break? » 2017-08-14 01:25:24
A couple of more things. I should have said that I haven't yet upgraded to 1.2.
Please upgrade! 1.2 introduced Pangolin based modules, but all previously designed pages and galleries will continue to work using the okapi framework. So there is nothing to worry about. But it makes it easier to get help.
#913 Re: Backlight Support » Get image URL (jpg) - Add Social Sharing to Single Image Pages » 2017-08-13 06:27:07
Thanks Daniel, I should have caught that.
Somehow it works on your site, but didn't on mine.
#914 Re: General » How can I use something like a demonstration website » 2017-08-13 05:38:25
Sorry, I assumed you are already on Backlight Pangolin. For the previous version it is photoswipe.
#915 Re: Backlight Support » Lost ability to tweet image ? » 2017-08-13 05:35:17
The links on the top-right of your page are the global social links that link to your social profiles. They are not intent to be used to share the content of a single-image page.
Charlie added what you are looking for using phplugins: http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … 028#p48028. Although you are not a coder, please give it a try. Once you enable phplugins, enable custom.css at the same time. If you run into questions regarding styling, the good folks on this forum will be able to help you.
#916 Re: Backlight Support » Get image URL (jpg) - Add Social Sharing to Single Image Pages » 2017-08-13 05:31:42
Charlie, there was a missing '/' in the stumbleupon.com link. I fixed it in the code you posted.
#917 Re: Backlight Support » Make the footer text & the slideshow title/caption size bigger? » 2017-08-13 04:55:06
Yeah, the slideshow looks much better without the clutter.
#918 Re: General » How can I use something like a demonstration website » 2017-08-13 04:35:44
In your Album template, change the photo presentation type from "Single image pages" to "Slideshow".
#919 Re: Backlight Support » Make the footer text & the slideshow title/caption size bigger? » 2017-08-13 02:33:54
BTW, your site looks great, Mike! Love how you designed it.
For the full-screen slideshow, I would disable the masthead and the social icons. To me, they conflict with the nice images.
#920 Re: Backlight Support » Make the footer text & the slideshow title/caption size bigger? » 2017-08-13 02:22:03
Do you have more than one CSS file? The custom css you are using (/backlight/custom/css/best-border-drop-shadow.css) doesn't contain Rainer's code.
#921 Re: Backlight Support » Get image URL (jpg) - Add Social Sharing to Single Image Pages » 2017-08-12 14:43:13
Thank you, Charlie!
#922 Re: Backlight Support » Get image URL (jpg) - Add Social Sharing to Single Image Pages » 2017-08-12 08:31:17
Hey Charlie, would you mind to share your code that you came up with? Thank you!
#923 Re: Backlight Support » Lost ability to tweet image ? » 2017-08-12 08:27:42
What Rod wrote doesn't apply to single-image pages.
#924 Re: Backlight Support » Changing A Gallery outside of Lightroom » 2017-08-11 14:27:11
Worked perfectly!!! Thanks a ton Ben.
You know when they say "a little knowledge can be dangerous".
Just how volatile is the data base.
I am going to have to be very careful with that little bit that you gave today....Thanks again!!!
Kevin
So make a copy of the file before you edit it.... so you have something to revert back in case.... happy editing 
#925 Re: Backlight Support » Slideshow in masthead » 2017-08-10 01:34:20
It looks like they only have the slideshow on their home page. You can design this using the inline vegas slideshow. And for the main copy text, you would select "below the gallery" as the location.
