OK great, thanks Rod.  Wil check that out.

Would be kind of cool to let the user sort the photo album by a drop down with different options as well.

Cheers

Hi there,

Does anyone know of a way to sort/display images in an album as "random" instead of the presets that are listed in the album settings?

Cheers,
Chumby

Thanks Daniel, yes I will look at the cloudfare stuff.  Very new to me also, but just had to get https working.

Glad you like how the site is coming together.  Happy to share anything. Couldn't of got this far without you guys.

Cheers,
Chumby.

#79 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Duplicating Page Copy » 2020-03-07 09:56:03

Thanks Rod,

Yes I was duplicating that content on every page copy and for the smallest change I had to make four changes to code in different areas.  Was getting unworkable!!  Image if I had 20 pages!

This is a far better solution.  Just need to get my CSS and troubleshooting skills up to scratch and keep pressing ahead.

Oh, and take more photos wink

Thanks again,
Chumby

#80 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Duplicating Page Copy » 2020-03-07 07:30:29

Alleluia!  Thanks Rod - yes just checked cloudfare and notice the clean cache function.  That fixed it!

Apologies of not thinking of that earlier.

Will get my actuall code in there now and see if I can make that look ok...

Cheers

#81 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Duplicating Page Copy » 2020-03-07 07:20:40

Still has me stumped, Rod.

Just for testing...

File is definatley deleted - should be no tasmanianphotos.css at all - but I am still seeing the source code for it.  Are you?

Have checked through filezilla and also gone in through cpanel file manage feature  -there is definatley not the css in there anymore....

Could it be anything to do with https?  Or caching at cloudfare?

Cheers,
Cbumby

#82 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Duplicating Page Copy » 2020-03-07 05:26:16

That is weird Daniel.

I just deleted my css file out of backlight/custom/css/tasmanianphotos.css - then checked the original file again and uploaded it again to the same location.  It should be there with the changes.

Then downlodaed the to another location and checked it (it had the modifications), but I ike you are not seeing changes that I made when I look at the page source.

Strange when I changed the <div> to </div> I updated my php plugins file and that change went through not issues

Any other ideas?

Really appreciate the help.

Cheers
Chumby

#83 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Duplicating Page Copy » 2020-03-07 04:56:54

Thanks Rod and Daniel,

Fixed the <div> to </div> - still not seeing the indent. 

Also checked, added a differnet indent value and reupload up my custom file.  Can you see:

.special-pallet-content, .slug-home 
.special-pallet-content, .slug-about 
.special-pallet-content, .slug-contact 
.special-pallet-content, .slug-images
.special-pallet-content { 
    display: block !important;
    padding: 0 36px;
}

Will also check that footer code - thanks for the heads up there.

Cheers
Chumby

#84 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Duplicating Page Copy » 2020-03-06 18:28:31

Hi Rod,

Been messing with this for hours and I cannot get any indent working.

In my php_plugins I have

function pallet01_top() {
echo'

<div class="special-pallet-content">

html content

<div>


';
return false; 
}

and in my css file I have

.special-pallet-content, .slug-home 
.special-pallet-content, .slug-about 
.special-pallet-content, .slug-contact 
.special-pallet-content, .slug-images
.special-pallet-content { 
    display: block !important;
    padding: 0 12px;
}

Can you see what I am doing wrong here?

Cheers
Chumby

Thank you so much, Rod.  I will work on your suggestions.

#86 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Duplicating Page Copy » 2020-03-06 09:23:40

Hi Rod,

Yes trying to get more pages than just the three, eventually wink  So I think this is the way to go.

Have added in that css to my custom file, but I cant see any difference.  Also the <p> tag does seem to be working either (as it did when it was inserted with the other code on the actual pages).  Everything looks scrunched up.

Can you see a margin appearing now?  I have put back in the actual text I need.

Really appreciate the help,

Cheers
Chumby

#87 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Duplicating Page Copy » 2020-03-05 17:41:52

Thanks Rod,

All good I can see the column text now. cntrl+shirt+r did the trick.

The only trouble now is my text is not picking up the previous css - ie <p> not working. Margins are also in tight.  Is there something I need to change in my css file to get this format looking ok and as it was?

Cheers,
Chumby

#88 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Duplicating Page Copy » 2020-03-05 09:59:31

Thats weird, Rod.

I cannot get that content to show on either Chrome of IE even by clearning out of the cached pages.  Nothing on my phone chrome either.

Hmmm...

Cheers
Chumby

#89 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Duplicating Page Copy » 2020-03-05 09:27:14

Hi Rod,

Can you see anything in the side menu at https://www.tasmanianphotos.com/about/

I have cleared stored pages through IE and cleared cached templates, but nothing is appearing there for me.

Cheers
Chumby

#90 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Duplicating Page Copy » 2020-03-05 08:08:06

Hi Rod and Daniel,

Thanks for these answers.

Rod - I like the idea of the CSS solution as I can target different pages.  I have tred your code though and nothing is being displayed in the pallet.  I have set my custom css file up with:


.slug-contact
.special-pallet-content, .slug-home
.special-pallet-content, .slug-about
.special-pallet-content { display: block !important; }

Is that the correct format to target the home and about pages with the html from the php plugins file?

Cheers,
Chumby

Hi there,

On my homepage I have Pallet 01 copy (search / browse etc) defind in my Default Album showing up fine in the LHS column.

http://www.tasmanianphotos.com

I would like to use this same Pallet 01 copy om my regular pages (about, contact etc), without having to copy/edit mutlipe blocks of code for each page.

https://www.tasmanianphotos.com/about/   (would like to include the pallet 01 copy from the home page here - wihtout copying and pasting it).

Is there any way I can write a block of code once and use an "include" function in the pallet 01 copy box on other pages so this code is displayed there also?  Therefore for updates I only need to edit one block of code - not multiple?

Cheers,
Chumby.

#92 Re: Backlight 2 Support » IE: Album thumbnail not clicking through to larger pic » 2020-03-01 13:14:17

Thanks Rod,

Yes IE 11.  Weird thing was that it has been working in the past, but no idea why it has stopped clicking though.  Maybe it's got to do with some of the custom page html that I have used - can't seem to find where the issue is though.

Will keep looking.

Cheers,
Chumby

Hi there,

Not sure what is going on here.  Everything is fine in Chrome, but in Internet Explorer I cannot click through from a thumbnail to a larger pic.

Any ideas what might be going on here?  I have cleared history in IE but not making any difference.

#95 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Search Strings » 2020-02-19 16:31:11

Cheers Rod - now have that implemented with your tutorials on "Pop-Up_Windows"

Cheers
Chumby

#96 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Search Strings » 2020-02-18 18:42:00

Great, thanks Rod.

I can put that search string in the link I have for "West Coast".  That will help for people browsing my search list but I doubt anyone browing my site would type in that full search string.

I wonder if there is a way if someone types in "West Coast" I could create a condition which then defaulted to the search "West Coast" -north -south ?  That would be dandy.

Cheers
Chumby

#97 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Search Strings » 2020-02-18 05:20:45

Thanks Terry for the idea, but the area is known as North West East, East Coast, West Coast etc.  I could change the keywords, but hence no-one would search for Northwest Coast, as it is not known as that.

Cheers
chumby

#98 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Search Strings » 2020-02-16 19:59:42

OK thanks, Ben.

Will keep that in mind as I roll out keywords for images etc.

Is it possible to get an exact match for a specified string (ie. in quotes) in future veriosns of Backlight do you think?

Cheers,
Chumby

#99 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Search Strings » 2020-02-16 17:41:54

Thanks Jim,

Yes was just wanted results for West Coast so I put them in quotes, as in "West Coast" and expected only the exact match of "West Coast' to be returned, not "North West Coast".

Will read up further on rod link.

Thanks for the help.

Cheers
Chumby.

Great thanks, Rod.  I will check that out.
