Thanks, everyone. This is great info.
I have another question. Using the Backlight theme there doesn't appear to be Previous or Next post navigation. What/where is the best way to add it?
Thanks
Thanks, Ron.
You helped me figure it out. I was removing the margin in the paragraph element in my custom css file, which works for my site but not for Wordpress which uses paragraphs for spacing. I created a duplicate custom css file that removed the paragraph change and it works now.
FYI, I was initially frustrated and confused by the odd way that Wordpress strips out line breaks and some other formatting when switching from the visual and text editor, which I still think is crazy.
Hello,
I recently added the Wordpress plugin, which has been working great except for one issue. My line spacing is visible in both the visual and text editor but not on the published post.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Is there a way to isolate it to just the homepage using the PHPlugins?
I know that it's not proper html protocol, but do you see any problem in adding it to my "copy" in the body of the page?
Hello,
I know that Backlight doesn't support meta tags, I've read the all posts about it here, but I really need a way to add a meta description in order to control the listing description in Google. The most important thing for me is to be able add a unique description to my homepage. I know I could add a description in the custom php file but it would then be the same for every page, which isn't an option for me. What is the best way to achieve what I'm looking for?
Thanks
Adding the following to my mobile css fixed it. ul.primary-menu.menu {width: 240px !important;}
Not necessarily since I've adjusted for it in the css. If it's normal behavior I'm fine with it – I thought I was doing something wrong.
One more question, though. You can scroll to the right on the mobile menu, about double the width, which feels a little sloppy. It may be something I've done, but, off hand, do you know how to lock it to just the width of the menu itself?
Thanks
Yes but the header menu is actually above the popup, unlike the main menu.
I had to add some css after the initial break point, 1000px, otherwise the vertically centered popup would no longer "fix" on the screen but would be pushed down dynamically with the content. Any ideas?
Sure. Here is a link to my WIP site. http://test.bretculp.com/gallery/ireland-photo-gallery/
Press the "Inquire About Prints" button then scale the browser over to less than 1000px wide. It's probably something I'm doing incorrectly, but I can't figure it out.
BTW, I absolutely love Backlight. It's one of the smartest purchases I've made. Thank you Matt!
Hello,
This is likely an odd question, but I have created a popup form to be used on my Album thumbnail pages. It works as expected until the mobile menu kicks in, either on a mobile device or by scaling my browser window to the break size at which point the mobile menu covers the popup even though I've used z-index with a very large number to keep the popup on top. As well the popup's "fixed" setting no longer works and the form is pushed down the page as opposed to being fixed in the center as it is with not in mobile mode.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
I ended up using a custom svg file that closely matches the large image presentation close icon.
Good Day,
Can somebody please tell me if there is a Font Awesome icon code for the thin Close Icon used in the large image presentation, or tell me what is being used. The icon for code "\f00d" is too thick and doesn't match. FYI, I'm creating my own popup and want to match the look of the interface.
Thanks,
bret
I understand. Thanks Matt.
Sorry to ask again, I'm really struggling to find a good solution, but is there a way to add a mailto: or something similar below "Pin it:" on the sharing link? The ?subject or &body could simply be the same link info generated for the other shares, ie: http://www.mywebiste.com/galleries/rece … single.php
It seems that client response is still my best bet.
Is it for the same potential sensitivity concerns that sharing is also disabled with client response? Is there are way to overide the sharing and search settings for those of us that want to use it.
Let me know if you'd like a link to see how I'm using all of this.
The cart also seems overkill for what I need. It also seems too committal for someone just inquiring about sizes, availability, etc.
Per my initial question from a few weeks ago, is it possible to add the email icon, or similar, to the status bar of the large image presentation and have that link to a "mailto:yourname@email.com?subject=[title]" or sent to a form that can be mailed with the same photo title?
That's all I'm really looking for.
But, surely there are also many times when the images are not sensitive. Shouldn't there be an option to allow them in the search? I'm a big fan of having options.
I'll check out the cart option. Thanks.
It appears that the client response add-on is more than what I need for my purposes.
As mentioned previously, I would like a potential customer to be able to send an inquiry to me from any photo that they like. I am not a wedding or product type photograher that has to show a photo shoot to a client for feedback. My sales come primarily from gallery exhibitions and from online sales. I want to make it as easy as possible for somebody who has found their way to my website to inquire about a specific work, to get into an email dialogue.
I am currently trying out the client response with just the image "Feedback" enabled. I like the look of everything but I'm not sure if I can make work as I hoped.
And as far as search goes, shouldn't it at least be an option? I see others have similar issues.
What do you think?
Thanks, Ron. It's always necessary for the viewer to add feedback and then mail it (2 steps) correct? As a simple option, it would be nice to be able to send feedback from an image and email it at the same time just by hitting the "save" button.
Also, what do I have to do and/or set up so that the "saved" form will get emailed to me?
Hello,
I purchased the Client Response add-on to solve my very important (to me) need to have the viewer send an email inquiry about a photo to me, per Rob's suggestion below.

Can the Feedback or Cart add-ons help here?Is it something that can be stuffed into the caption?
Thanks again for your help.
My guess is that this one is going to be more of a feature request.
The Client Feedback module may do what you need. Using it, clients can comment on individual images. You'll be sent a form via email with comments, ratings, etc
.
It almost does what I need and looks great However I have two issues:
1. I was unaware that it would mean that my photos would no longer be searchable. Is there any way to remedy this? Please?
2. Is it possible to move the email icon down into the page and remove or hide the feedback bar on the album screen and just have it on the Large Image Presentation?
Fingers crossed!!!
Thanks a lot.
I agree that it would be great. Regards.
It worked! Thanks again for the suggestion. I ended up using the .insertAfter() jQuery command.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it out.
