You can use a plugin (eg wp-markdown) to enable markdown support for Wordpress.

#1077 Re: Backlight Support » Problem with latest Backlight update » 2016-10-09 08:11:02

I just looked at my statistic over the last 12 months: IE users: 4.56%, Edge 0.85%. Puzzled that Edge is not higher.

It should be easy to add a pop-up for all IE users to encourage them to move to Edge, Chrome or Firefox for the best user experience.

#1079 Re: Backlight Support » Cannot add videos to Album » 2016-10-05 11:24:32

Videos are not exported by Lr, but need to be uploaded to your site using FTP. But the recommendation is to serve videos from a sharing site such as Vimeo or Youtube.

This is from the documentation:

Just because you can, does not necessarily mean that you should. For example, if you're on a shared hosting plan such as those offered by Bluehost, then HTML5 Video is probably not for you. Serving video directly from your site will chew through your bandwidth quickly.

The documentation link above shows how to setup self-hosted videos.

No idea why this image is still hanging around. I guess there was a glitch at one point of time when you did a gallery update. I would recommend to send Ben an email with your admin credentials so he can remove the file from the database.

Nice video, Ed.

There is a little link for more infos where you entered the tokens. Following this link it says

After changing the metadata settings, you will need to re-publish any affected photos. Publisher provides a setting 'Push metadata without updating existing photos' within the Publisher settings that if selected greatly speeds up re-publishing.

It looks like you didn't republish the images after you changed the token infos. Please take note of the "push metadata..." feature as it will greatly accelerated your publishing times!

They are all red for me.

Galleries has never worked since installation. I guess this is a separate install issue?

Does the galleries directory exist?

Sometimes those upload issues are due to upload limit settings in the php.ini file.

Thanks Rod.  According to phpinfo.php I have a 20 file limit, which seems to match what I am experiencing.  It doesn't appear that my plan will allow me to edit php.ini, so I'll contact GoDaddy.  They are offereing to move me to their cPannel service at no cost.  Is that worth doing?

Thanks,
Luke


Moving to the cPannel service seemed to be the solution for many GoDaddy customers. You should find several references in the forum.

maybe an obvious question, but when you published the album, did you click the "Publish" button to actually publish the images or did you only create the album?

The images are there, but the I don't see the Vegas javascript code.

#1085 Re: Backlight Showcase » Some advices for the new "backlight powered page" » 2016-09-26 03:32:53

Do you get people visit your home page on a weekly basis? I am wondering if it wouldn't make more sense to show just a random image? This way visitors get to see a different image every time they visit.

 $week = rand( 1 , 53 );

Increased space on my hosting, everything working perfect now!

Thanks for your help

Perfect! Thank you for the update. It is always good to know that an issue has been solved and how!

#1087 Re: Backlight Support » Lightroom now not uploading any more than a few photographs to Backlig » 2016-09-23 23:51:37

This seems to be a server issue and has nothing to do with your PC. Who is your web host?

Thanks for your reply Rod, how would I use the same images in two different albums. This would be a great help to save on server space?

You would just have two different albums in Lr, but it would not help on server space since the images reside in different albums.

#1089 Re: Backlight Support » Flickity and page copy/title » 2016-09-22 08:12:52

Thank you, Rod. I am using the image caption, but I wanted to add some generic text to the entire product category. I don't want to have to duplicate this text for each image caption.

Flickity is a really cool display engine. Happy that this is part of Theater!

I am in the process of creating some product pages and would love to have a title above the Flickity slider and additional text below. It does not look like that this is possible, or did I overlook something?

Thanks!

Gary, above the quick reply field, there is a Subscribe to this topic option to get notified whenever someone posts in the same thread. I love this feature since it helps me to not miss an important reply.

maybe we're thinking of different effects, I was assuming it was about the drop-shadows. It thought the question was in reference to this page: http://stage.danielleu.com/slideshow.php
you're getting drop shadows in Theater?

Drop-shadows? Hmm... how about this:

.gallery {
    box-shadow: 4px 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
}

right now I'm just using a folder named "img" in the root of my site to hold images for this purpose and I just upload via ftp. But I like the idea of creating a hidden, Publisher controlled album to hold all those images.

I use a hidden folder to upload images to use in other pages. Works well.

Anyway how do I use theatre to get your effects. I tried theatre, but couldn't get it setup like yours.

You can't. But as mentioned on the Store page Theater is: " ... presently in "early-access", with a limited selection of presentation types; new presentation types and features will be added in updates." So it may be coming.

Hmm... I am using Theater and I got the same effect.

#1098 Re: Backlight Support » Footer » 2016-09-17 02:04:41

Why don't you use the same code on your about page that you use on your frontpage?

By account it is impossible to align the copyright and social networks icons on the contact page as I did on my homepage.

You didn't use the float:left/right styles I had in my original code.

Are there a solution to move the social network icons that appear on my homepage on the right, and are in a responsive grid column?

That's what you use on your frontpage, isn't it?

It would be up to the advanced user to create the data structure necessary for the script based on the "generic data structure".

I also insert PHP code you provided me on the contact page: http://test.vuedailleurs.com/?page=contact (? Why this strange URL), but I can not change the size of typography is to align all as I would like!

You can change this in Backlight > Settings > Website Settings > Page URL Format. I use the format 'about.php'.
