Hi Jack,

Here is the link on how to upgrade phplugins from BL1 to BL2: http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … hp?id=8966

You only have one function to move from the old phplugins.php file to the new one. I think it should look like this:

function masthead_primary_bottom () { 
	echo '
		<div id="enter-field" ><a href="https://stuffbyjack.com/galleries/">ENTER</a></div>	
	';
} // end masthead_bottom

Your custom.css file should continue to work as is.

Hi Jack,

As expected, loading your site in the debugger, I get an error:

Try to execute Backlight >  Designer > Templates > Clear Template Cache to see if this fixes this issue.

Oh, you are using the latest version of Backlight 1, aren't you?

That's a good reference, Rod! Thanks! Did you read the notice to the buyer requirements in Washington?

When a page is loaded, the language settings are saved in something called 'sessions'. So when you load another page or reload the same page again, the language settings are not updated. To get a new session and therefore your changed settings, you might have to logout of backlight, or even restart your browser.

At least this is what I remember to have read a while ago in the forum.

Hi Chumby,

You don't need phplugins for that. If you are using Google Analytics, there is a simple solution available! I wrote this a very long time ago when I created a search feature called GallerySearch for CE3. But the integration with Google Analytics still works with Backlight 2: https://danielleu.com/blog/2014/03/goog … erysearch/

I would create a new publishing service targeting the new site and not use the old one. Maybe change the api address of the old publishing service so you don't use that one by chance. This way, you still have a reference to your previous album structure. Just a thought.

Hi Martin, please have a look at https://lab.danielleu.com/blog/customiz … h-results/

You can do many things using single-page view. Have a look at https://danielleu.com/galleries/united_ … single.php

And some technical background infos: https://lab.danielleu.com/blog/customiz … page-view/ and https://lab.danielleu.com/blog/better-u … age-pages/.

You want to have the menu button on the right? There is an option in the backlight menu for that, isn't it?

hmmm.... but you can integrate a gallery on the front page and get the same effect, can't you?

For Backlight 2, please see http://lab.danielleu.com/blog/page-specific-php-code/

Thank you for the link. This looks easier than other javascript display engines.

When you create an album, you can insert your HTML code as part of Main Copy (you just need the 'panoStudioViewerID' div plus the next two script lines). Add some custom CSS to hide the gallery and you should be done. This should work.

I would create a separate data directory such as /pano_data/pano_xyz to separate backlight code from your panos. Obviously, you will need to adjust the path to the different files in the html code.
