Got my slideshow implementation documented. The example is over on my site at http://stage.danielleu.com/slideshow.php and the setup instructions are over on my blog.

It is easy to do and I am happy with the result.

OK, I am obviously missing something because this isn't working for me, despite following your instructions to the letter (I think).

Anyway all I get is a small black box on the upper left side of my home page with an X in it.... www.exposedvisions.com

What am I missing?

Thanks.

The recommended way to add a slideshow now is to use the Backlight Theater module. This was not available at the time I wrote about how I made the slideshow.

Regarding your page, I see the slideshow starting... but you have only one image listed. So there is not much the slideshow code can do.

There are so many great javascript scripts out there to provide cool animations and slideshows. There will be always yet another one that a user would like to have.

That's why I thought it would be cool to have some type of API using phplugins to allow the user to support the display engine he wants. With 'album' I wasn't really referring to $album, but more a generic data structure.

Matt, how about adding a 'custom' presentation type to Theater? With a few additional phplugins hooks, one could implement a custom slideshow such as the one Gary mentioned. The user would select presentation type 'custom' and add a few phplugins functions to support his. From top of my head, following should be sufficient: ttg_theater_script(..., album), ttg_theater_css, ttg_theater_content(..., album).

Album would contain the necessary infos such as images, thumbnails, captions and titles.

This way one could add a cool slideshow or other display feature without you spending time on that and having to maintain them down the road....

You should use 'return false' in order to avoid the two footers, unless this is what you want.

There sure is. It gives me some ideas for a three column footer with social stuff, copyright, and maybe even an additional bit of nav links leading to things like a newsletter page, licensing statements, etc.

Yep, that's something I am looking at as well. Maybe some additional items coming from blog posts too.

that's a bit easier than setting up the responsive grid columns.
How do you think it will work on a phone? Does it need a media query to stack the social buttons above the footer on mobile?

In my test, it turned into two lines. The order of the two divs (social, copyright) might be reversed to have the social buttons above the copyright.

There is a lot of room to tinker with the look and feel wink

I'm sorry, but I do not speak English and I use Google translation.
Is this the file you want?

Merci Daniel

Pas de problème! But I'll keep the answer in english ;-)

Thank you for the code! It is much easier to help like this!

I would start with this:

function ttg_footer_bottom( $style, $path ) { 
    echo '

<div class="custom_footer">
<div class="content page__width">
<div class="footer_copyright">		
   <p>
	  &copy; 2014 - 2016 - Phoneographie.com - Philippe Hamiche - Tout droits réservés
   </p>
</div>

<div class="footer_social">
       <a href="https://www.twitter.com/PhilippeHamiche/" target="_blank"><img src="/image/icons/webicon-twitter-s.png" title="Twitter"/></a>
       <a href="https://www.facebook.com/philippe.hamiche/" target="_blank"><img src="/image/icons/webicon-facebook-s.png" title="Facebook"/></a>
       <a href="https://plus.google.com/b/100300750167091687192/100300750167091687192/" target="_blank"><img src="/image/icons/webicon-googleplus-s.png" title="Google Plus"/></a>
</div>     
</div>     
</div>  

    ';
    return false;
} // END

And then you'll need some custom css:

footer {
   background-color: #212121;
}
.footer_social {
   float:left;
}
.footer_copyright {
   float: right;
}
.footer_copyright p{
   color: white;
   font-size: 0.857rem;
   line-height: 55px;
   margin: 0 auto;
   padding: 0;
   min-height: 55px;
   text-align: right;
}

Hope this helps!

Would you mind to post your phplugins function. This way it is a bit easier to help.

FYI: Backlight can produce some messages containing a "TTG BE" reference.

You can try to (re)create them using Backlight > Publisher > Special Links > Update Album Files.

Daniel,

Alright, I might have missed one. In my defense I was looking for apostrophes.  smile

Thanks again for helping me out.

Bob

You don't need a defence, Bob smile

First I looked for apostrophes too and then I noticed this strange linebreak... Great that it works for you now.

Matthew,

I've checked my captions and I don't have any with apostrophes in my slideshow. Is there anything else that might be causing the vegas slideshow not to run for me.

Thanks,
Bob

Check the caption of the photo "1950 Cadillac Flying Goddess". It contains a line break between 'Cadillac' and 'Flying'.

I think there should be a '/' after publisher, eg http://jwbimages.com/backlight/publisher/

Backlight Designer works on my website..j. and new albums are created...just can't get photos to upload :{

I think you will qualify for the upgrade fee which I believe is $79.

Ben will answer this question regarding the error.

Thank you. Yep, still on CE4 with Publisher until the Backlight Wp template comes. Once Wp is supported, I'll replace my CE4 installation with my Backlight test site.

Lightroom 3? Wow!

Requirements

System
Mac or Windows PC, running Lightroom 3/4/5/6/CC2015.

According to the TTG website, it is still supported. But for many reasons, I would recommend to upgrade to a more recent version of Lr. Image processing features are so much more powerful!

#1119 Backlight Support » Discount with minimum order value » 2016-09-10 08:18:29

Replies: 0

I would like to offer a discount code to some of my clients, but they have to spend at least a certain amount (eg, when spending at least $75, they would get 20% off). It doesn't look like this is currently supported.

Is anyone else interested in such a conditional discount option? Thanks!

Maybe the dev team will think about a "wish list" to gather all the "nice to have options" for the further updates (example: captions @ Vegas slideshow and stuff like this).

Matt and Ben collect feedback from the forum and it influences their development plan. So this is already happening.

Do you think there would be value in our changelogs including a list of changed files?  Perhaps in a delta.txt sitting alongside the readme.txt file, so that the readme.txt doesn't become too bloated.

Ben, I think you are about to open a can of worms.... because once you create a delta.txt file, then the next step would be a request for an update script... followed by another request for a semi- automatic update option.... ;-)  That's something I would love to have.

In the meantime, I rather prefer to update 5 directories than 10 individual files. Updating a few files seem to be more error prone than a few top-level directories. And if something goes wrong with the update, it might be rather difficult to identify this.

Hi Bob, your images are huge and take a while to load. I would try with smaller sized images to start with.

Das wäre eine Möglickeit, aber neue Benutzer brauchen alle Dateien. Und wenn jemand ein Update überspringt, würden ihm unter Umständen einige Files fehlen.
