Community @ The Turning Gate

i lost all of my templates too.  i only uploaded the specified files.  when i went into BL admin, it said it was updating.  then i cleared the cache.
(i even redownloaded the zip file today)

the website no longer works and no templates are listed.

if you need any info, let me know.
the site is www.joliverbrooks.com

i got it to work.  though safari on mac os 10.11 does not display the favicon in the address bar any longer.  only if you click in the address bar (or bookmark a site).  this is not a backlight issue, it is just the way safari displays it now.

thanks for the info.  rod, what did you use?  it scales fine in your backlight sample site.

oh.  ok thanks.  it is my lack of html knowledge.  that is helpful.

(i removed the css link.  i had thought it would work via advance customization but wasn't sure)

In CE4, my script was in ttg_head_end with a stage specificied in ttg_header_masthead and was fine. (see www.joliverbrooks.com)

if i put my scripts that used to be in ttg_head_end into ttg_footer_bottom, then the edge block (with the logo, minor animation) does not appear and the page contents are reduced to a narrow window (see:  www.joliverbrooks.com/new).

new PHplugin info:
function ttg_footer_bottom( $style, $path ) {
    echo '
    <style>
        .edgeLoad-EDGE-2227651377 { visibility:hidden; }
    </style>
   
    <!--Adobe Edge Runtime-->
        <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="/edge_includes/edge.6.0.0.min.js"></script>
    <script>
       AdobeEdge.loadComposition("jbRotateBlk300", "EDGE-2227651377", {
        scaleToFit: "none",
        centerStage: "both",
        minW: "0px",
       maxW: "undefined",
        width: "325px",
        height: "110px"
    }, {"dom":{}}, {"dom":{}});
    </script>
    <!--Adobe Edge Runtime End-->
    }
    ';
} // END

function ttg_header_masthead_top( $style, $path ) {
    echo '
<div id="masthead" class="block-id masthead clearfix">
            <div class="mantle clearfix">
                <div class="core clearfix">
            <p>&nbsp</p>
            <div id="Stage" class="EDGE-2227651377">
            </div>
            </div>
        </div>

    </div> <!-- #masthead -->

    ';
    return true;
} // END

Thanks.  I'm doing something incorrectly.
i removed the ttg_header_top and _bottom functions from the phplugins file.  i added the following:

In my css, i added:
body {
  background: url(/new/backlight/custom/phplugins/images/backgroundSplash29.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
  -webkit-background-size: cover;
  -moz-background-size: cover;
  -o-background-size: cover;
  background-size: cover;
        }

h1 {
    <!--Adobe Edge Runtime-->
        <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="/edge_includes/edge.6.0.0.min.js"></script>
    <script>
       AdobeEdge.loadComposition("jbRotateBlk300", "EDGE-2227651377", {
        scaleToFit: "none",
        centerStage: "both",
        minW: "0px",
       maxW: "undefined",
        width: "325px",
        height: "110px"
    }, {"dom":{}}, {"dom":{}});
    </script>
    <!--Adobe Edge Runtime End-->
    }

In my PHplugins file i now just have:
function ttg_header_top( $style, $path ) {
    echo '
        <style>
        .edgeLoad-EDGE-2227651377 { visibility:hidden; }
        </style>
    ';
}

function ttg_footer_bottom( $style, $path ) {
    echo '
    <link rel="stylesheet" href=“/backlight/custom/css/jbcustom.css"/>
    <script src="//use.typekit.net/lfm3nrq.js"></script>
    <script>try{Typekit.load({ async: true });}catch(e){}</script>

    <style>
        .edgeLoad-EDGE-2227651377 { visibility:hidden; }
    </style>
   
    <!--Adobe Edge Runtime-->
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="/edge_includes/edge.6.0.0.min.js"></script>

    ';
} // END

function ttg_header_masthead_top( $style, $path ) {
    echo '
<div id="masthead" class="block-id masthead clearfix">
            <div class="mantle clearfix">
                <div class="core clearfix">
            <p>&nbsp</p>
            <div id="Stage" class="EDGE-2227651377">
            </div>
            </div>
        </div>

    </div> <!-- #masthead -->

    ';
    return true;
} // END

i'm not an expert in either CE4 or backlight.  what i've seen of backlight while working with it today is that the sites are far faster and have a much more modern feel to them in terms of animation and responsiveness.  The interface is different and I think (so far) a lot more accessible than CE4.

very helpful. thank you.
