Community @ The Turning Gate

this is cool.  could you share a copy of your css and phplugin files?  it will make it easier to understand how they work in backlight. 
thanks

thanks rod.  it has been a couple of months since i messed with the home page and had deluded myself into think i could see it in LR. 

i don't see how to include an image in a post, but the gray exclamation point is to the right of the lime green PHPlugins item under Site Info.  when i roll over it, it has a message 'when enabled, your pages will export as php documents....

yep.  that got it.  i had to actually rename the photos, then delete the album in publisher, then create it again.

So it is.  i must have had a typo when i was trying to fix the CSS.  perhaps there was a browser cache issue?  thanks again.
This css code leads to a successful dynamic background if others are interested:
body {
  background: url(/phplugins/images/backgroundSplash29.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
  -webkit-background-size: cover;
  -moz-background-size: cover;
  -o-background-size: cover;
  background-size: cover;
        }

Got it.  that fixed it.  thanks.

i published a default album to pages-gallery.  now that is all shows up.  then if i click galleries in the breadcrumb i get a page not found. All this did was direct the gallery page to the default album (and no longer show the two albums i have published).  it did not use the template i selected in publisher.  the large image at the top was gone, however.

this used to work exactly as i wanted.  i could style the gallery in the template and then the albums appeared on it and the template replaced the CE4 Pages gallery.  i've never explicitly slugged pages-gallery before.

it seems that the template specified under ttg-be is not being applied.  i have the following settings in Pages->theGallery:
Page Assignment -Galleries
Priority - Beneath Content
Gallery Type - Galleria Slideshow
...
Allow Page Replacement ... - Yes

1. All I want on the Gallery page is an Album Index without the large photo at the top.  I thought I needed to do this by setting it up in Galleries?
2. The gallery pages (with the thumbnails of an album) are not inheriting the phplugin settings from CE4 Pages (e.g., note that after going into a gallery the navigation bar is right justified, rather than left.)  shouldn't these properties be inherited?

Found it.  somehow under Auto Index Galleries, I needed to select "allow page replacement by CE4 Publisher" though i don't recall ever changing that setting.

cancel my last question.  for some reason the directory was not appearing in my ftp client even after i restarted.  now i can see it.

sorry.  i somehow pasted over my original response.

i want the animated bit to be above the nav bar, like a header (i can resize animation if necessary).  it would be cool if it were clickable, but not imperative.
