Thanks. I totally get it. Just explaining that old habits die hard.
Thanks for the information.
FWIW, I come from the film world where it is standard practice to use the decimal place for the individual frames within a shot, "project_scene_shot.0001.dpx", "project_scene_shot.0002.dpx", etc. When you do it every day for more than 25 years it becomes second nature. I will break the habit for Backlight.
Hi Matt,
Is there another way you can think of to add an album title above and some content below the thumbnails of an album page.
Thanks
Hi All,
I have another question. I was having 404 problems with certain images in Single-image HTML Pages. It seems to be as a result of having a decimal in the filename, eg. Image-bla-bla.3.jpg. Is this a limitation of the Backlight, Lightroom, a bug, or am I doing something wrong? This, of course, also affects the image sharing, which is how I discovered the issue.
I appreciate all of the support here.
Thanks a lot.
Ok, I'll wait to hear from Matt. Thanks, Rod.
FWIW, I can't imagine that this wouldn't be important to many others as well. Simply put, I suggest that an Album page should be able to include the Album Title followed by the thumbnails, followed by a description, artist statement, etc. for those that may want additional information.
Regards
As an example, I'm looking to be able to do this, which is on my current website. http://www.bretculp.com/gallery/TBOI/
Do you think I could use ttg_gallery_bottom hook to present the "Album Title" entered in Lightroom? If so, what is the "Album Title" variable and/or the code to add it via ttg_gallery_bottom?
Thanks again.
Thanks, Rob. I'm already using phplugins for other purposes. I'm looking to add unique information for each Album, title/heading above the thumbnails and a description of the the body of work below. Any ideas?
Hi Guys,
What is the best way to add content above an Album, it would be a custom styled title for the gallery, and then have the gallery thumbnails as usual, and then content below the thumbnails, which would be a custom description? Currently I only seem to be able to choose one or the other.
Thank you.
This is the icon:
.pswp__button--share::after { content: "\f03e"; }You can change the content value via custom CSS. Available icons are here; click the icon you want to get it's code ID.
Worked great. Thanks. Now how do I change the "title" hover text to read "Share" instead of "Image Menu". I need viewers to know what the button actually does.
What is the best way to add a mailto: link to the large image presentation. I would like to be able to style it using css and have the subject be the title of the image. It will be an “Inquire About This Work” button. This is very important to how people interact with me for my business.
Matthew wrote:The large image presentation is not editable by the user, beyond the options we have provided. If you would like to make a feature request, please do so in a separate thread, titled accordingly (i.e. "Feature Request: Do-a-thing") and with a detailed description of how you might envision the feature appearing/working. While we cannot implement every request we receive, Backlight is heavily feedback-driven and we do give all requests due consideration.
I will make a formal request, but in the meantime, is there a button I can add to the top bar that would link to a contact form or mailto with the subject the image title? As mentioned, this is how all of my sales are made on my present website. Even a kluge would be very much appreciated at this point. The is the only thing keeping me from launching my new site.
Can the Feedback or Cart add-ons help here?
Is it something that can be stuffed into the caption?
Thanks again for your help.
I sorted it out using the ">" child combinator selector as described here, https://css-tricks.com/child-and-sibling-selectors/
Thanks. I'm trying to style the individual menu items (buttons) without effecting the sub menu items using .menu-item. What would be the CSS to target only the individual top level menu items? I'm currently using "nav .menu-item" which is working but obviously grabbing the sub-menus as well.
Hi Guys,
I'm having some difficulty trying to style the top level menu, the drop down (sub) menu and the mobile navigation tray independently? I've been tying to style menu, primary-menu, menu-item, sub-menu, etc but haven't been able to isolate the items mention above. Any advice will be much appreciated.
Thanks again
Hello,
Is it possible to add custom javascript to a page? I would like to load from a file on my website. Please advise.
Thanks a lot.
Hello,
I am really enjoying Backlight so far. I’m in the process of porting over my custom coded website but I’ve encountered a few things I’m not sure how to overcome.
I would like to change the current share button on the large image presentation to the more customary curved arrow share icon, like the Photoswipe default. This is important as I think a many people understand that the arrow is for sharing but not the current "image" icon.
Is it possible for the “share” link to use this format #&gid=1&pid=3 instead of the single page link? I would love it if somebody clicking on the shared link would go right to the large image presentation page it was shared from, as Photoswipe does by default. Are there reasons why that isn’t a good idea or not implemented?

What is the best way to change the html content on my homepage only? I'd like to use a custom slideshow, etc. Note that I've already replaced the Masthead and footer using a custom PHP file.
I used Markdown in my Lightroom metadata to italicize my title, insert a line break, etc. It translated properly in the TTG 2016 HTML Gallery that uses Photoswipe but it doesn’t work in Backlight. Any ideas?
Is there a list of all of the css styles that can be changed using the custom.css file?
My apologies if any of this has been previously discussed.
Thanks in advance!
Much appreciated.
Good Day,
I'm new to Backlight but I can't seem to make the "Create New Menu Set" work. Even though I created a new custom Menu Set and set it to default, Backlight still uses the "Default" template no matter what I do. The custom templates for pages and galleries work find. Any ideas?
Thanks
