Another item. I set up a Theater full screen album and page as my landing page. I intend to make it my home page. But for now the album that contains the actual images also shows up on the galleries page. Can I hide that album somehow, as it is only my landing screen and I don't want/need people to go to it.

This is called "Hide from Album Set". It is part of the album settings in Lightroom. You might want to set "Hide from Search" at the same time.

#1153 Re: Backlight Support » Theatre module problem » 2016-08-27 03:13:41

One thing that VegaFS requires is a custom full-screen page template (http://backlight.theturninggate.net/doc … ull-screen). Did you create one when you changed the presentation type?

#1154 Re: Backlight Support » Link to Album Set » 2016-08-17 14:03:14

I tried adding an Archives folder to Publisher using Lightroom's Publishing tool at the same level as the galleries folder and this then showed up as a top level gallery folder but had other problems.
Am I supposed to create this top level gallery within Lightroom or on the web using Publisher.  Should it be inside the galleries folder or at the same level as the galleries folder?

If you want to have a second top level gallery like /archive, you have to create a separate publisher service targeting /archive.

I use <ALT>+<ENTER> to introduce a linebreak in Lr text fields. I'm on a Mac, don't know if this works on Windows.

#1156 Re: Backlight Support » Check Buttons In Contact Form. » 2016-08-14 05:13:32

Is there a reason that you opted to switch to the old forms?  As the new form also has the embed option?

Because I didn't find this option with the new forms.....

But now I did: Click on 'send' and then select '<>'. Copy the embedded HTML code and paste it in the page copy section.

#1157 Re: Backlight Support » Check Buttons In Contact Form. » 2016-08-14 02:10:51

It works, kind off.... stage.danielleu.com/google-form... as long as you don't want to add or change the styling from the page and are happy with the default styling.

This is what I did:

  1. Created a new Google Form

  2. Switched to the old Google Form editor: The new form editor has a help option on the bottom right corner. There I switched back to the old forms

  3. In the old editor, select menu File -> Embedd...

  4. Copy the iframe text and add it to the copy section of your page

Two things I don't like: the iframe approach is not responsive with the entire form having a fixed size and applying custom styles using CSS is very tricky as it requires some javascript magic.

#1159 Re: Backlight Support » Corrupted thumbnails » 2016-08-09 06:19:03

Patrick, you might want to create a test gallery that is hidden from the index. It seems like the issue happens regularly enough for you in order to be able to have this gallery showing an error. This way, you can leave it up there and Ben could have a look at it.

#1160 Re: Backlight Support » Menu jumps to bottom of page » 2016-08-09 05:01:43

A few comments:

1) There is a

<p></div></p>

at the end of the four images that shouldn't be there. I would expect that this is the main cause, apart of the closing </head> tag that Rod already mentioned.

2) The page shows an error:

http://garylittle.com/favicon.ico: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

You might want to add a proper favicon.

3) custom-sample.css shows

/*.page__tray {
*border: 1px solid black
*}
.copyright p{
	text-align: center;
}
<div class="tray-frame">
......This is new content...
</div>

There is no closing for the comment (*/ missing). And <div...</div> is html and not CSS. So it does not belong in this file.

#1161 Re: Backlight Support » google analytics code » 2016-07-27 03:38:43

Have a look at backlight > Settings. Under Website Settings, you can enter Google Analytics Web Property ID and Google Site Verification ID. This should do the trick.

#1162 Re: Backlight Support » Migrating Backlight & Cart Questions » 2016-07-26 10:55:24

I don't see it in http://sweetlightgallery.com/backlight/ … ustom5.css. Do you use by chance a different css file?

Another big problem is that the View Cart icon in the upper right hand corner is only visible when I am on my purchase page or one of the gallery pages. It is not visible on any of the other pages, which is why I added a "Cart" menu so that customers can view their cart easily. I really want to get this fixed.

It shows up for me.

#1163 Re: Backlight Support » Migrating Backlight & Cart Questions » 2016-07-26 09:08:17

.discount-entry { 
	display:none;
}

Works for me! Please add it to your custom.css. If it still doesn't work, leave it there so we can have a look what's going (not) on.

#1164 Re: Backlight Support » CRG Login, Logout Page Formatting » 2016-07-26 00:08:55

Hi Jon,

Yes, there is. It is just a bit more php. Please note that I haven't had time to test it yet and this is before my first coffee of the day ;-)

function galleries_match($gallery) {
   if (substr($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], 0, strlen($gallery)) == $gallery) {
      return 1;
   }  else {
      return 0;
   }
}


function ttg_head( $style, $path ) { 

	// Modify styles on galleries/clients page
	if (galleries_match('/galleries/clients/')){
		echo '<style  media="screen" type="text/css">...</style>';
	}

   } // END

Hope this doesn't break anything!

Update: overlooked one closing bracket. It is working now.

#1166 Re: Backlight Support » How can I make the YouTube player scale? » 2016-07-25 07:54:37

There is a small typo with the first video code

<<iframe

And your resize code is only active for bigger screens:

@media screen and (min-width: 1025px)

You are missing a closing bracket for the media screen settings at line 30 of your user.css. Most likely it should be placed just before the slideshow styling at line 40.

#1168 Re: Backlight Support » How can I make the YouTube player scale? » 2016-07-25 06:04:47

It works for me using following CSS code on your media page:

.auto-resizable-iframe {
	position:relative;
	padding-bottom:56.25%;
	height:0;
	overflow:hidden;
}

.auto-resizable-iframe iframe{
	position:absolute;
	top:0;
	left:0;
	width:100%;
	height:100%;
}

Then you can have one css file to rule them all....

Yep, it would be nice to have a page related and a template related class. At the same time, you can use a separate CSS per page template. But this would mean you have more than one CSS per site which makes it more difficult to maintain it.

#1170 Re: Backlight Support » CRG Login, Logout Page Formatting » 2016-07-23 01:35:36

The power of phplugins, although the Backlight implementation right now is a bit limited.

#1171 Re: Backlight Support » texture issue » 2016-07-22 23:58:34

Have a look again at Matt's post. You have to switch background-color and background image.

BTW, I like the white border around the slideshow!

#1172 Re: Backlight Support » Responsive grid framework in Backlight » 2016-07-22 02:17:12

Now it is a matter of your css settings. Here I remove the default paddings and add a new one to get some distance between the two columns:

.the__copy {
    padding: 0; 
}

@media screen and (min-width: 992px) {
  .grid_12 *[class*="col_"] {
      padding-right: 0;
      padding-left: 0;
  }
  .col_4 {
      padding-left: 24px;
  }
  .col_8 {
      padding-right: 24px;
  }
}

#1173 Re: Backlight Support » Responsive grid framework in Backlight » 2016-07-22 01:47:34

Do you have the three column layout enabled?

#1174 Re: Backlight Support » CRG Login, Logout Page Formatting » 2016-07-22 01:38:18

Hi Jon,

Instead of having a specific CSS file, you could add the styling with phplugins:

   function ttg_head( $style, $path ) { 

	// Modify styles on galleries/clients page
	if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] == '/galleries/clients/'){
		echo '<style  media="screen" type="text/css">...</style>';
	}

   } // END

This should work.... but I didn't test it on my site.
