I created an album named "Search" with "search" as the identifier.
In Publisher, this album does not appear. What went wrong?

Done that but nothing changes.

Regarding the design of the search result page, this is what I have in mind:
search

Preliminary tests show that the search engine works well with single keywords, not so much with full name and surname. But I am hopeful that I will find a way to refine the search results.

Hello, I'm trying to introduce a search function on my site (pideja.ca) but I can't find where to translate the text on that page. Further, is there a way to customize the look of that page?

Merci!

Thanks Rod,
Si ce I do not have an iPad, I use display simulations and I phone friends with a pad to check the display. I’ll look into this issue as soon as I get a hold of a pad.

I'd like to place an image in the side pallet (#1) where the navigation is. It would have to sit below the navigation menu, of course.
Can I do this?


Take a look here: pideja.ca

#158 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Masthead display » 2020-01-17 22:46:48

The nameplate has been changed...designed a plate with my name only (decidedly minimalist) and since I couldn't find how to position the size and height on the mobile, I designed another one, smaller and with a larger top margin built-in the image and changed the CSS accordingly.

Now happy...for the moment.

#159 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Masthead display » 2020-01-17 21:37:47

The Desktop display looks ok but on the mobile (phone) the "menu" box is in the middle of the top palette, over the nameplate!
Trying to fix this with CSS...

.page__toggle__buttons label {
	margin-right: 15px;
	overflow: hidden;
	background-color: #9F191E;
	/*position: relative;*/
}

Placed this code in the MOBILE section, on line 237 and it seems to work.

#160 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Masthead display » 2020-01-17 08:25:33

For the menu button: I set the right margin at 200px; no change.

for the nameplate: change the max-width of the page from 1440 to 1920 only makes the nameplate move further to the right; I also checked to see if line 26 was set to float:left...and it is. But alas, no change.

#161 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Masthead display » 2020-01-17 05:50:37

Alright, I get the CSS in the .top-pallet-logo class, set float to left. But I can't set either margin so that the menu button is not so close to the right edge. 200px should look good (it does in the inspector) but I can't get the change to stick.

As far as the logo banner goes (Pierre Desjardins photographe), it's the same but in reverse: I'd like it to be more to the left on the desktop display. As for the mobile display, could I have a different banner as the present one is too big? A case for CSS?

#162 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Masthead display » 2020-01-17 02:36:11

Thanks for the Menu button position. I've placed on the right, as a trial. Now, about that nameplate: how to place it on the left?

#163 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Masthead display » 2020-01-17 01:07:28

Well, if there is one, I can't find it.
In CSS, I have:

/* Top pallet sizing */

.page__pallet__top>.content>ul>li {
	height: 48px;
    margin: 0;	
}

/* Top pallet (bannière en image de fond) */

.top-pallet-logo {
	background-image: url("https://pideja.ca/backlight/designer/page/image/22");
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
    float: right;
    height: 48px;	
	width: 316px;	
}

li.top-pallet-logo a {
	display: block;
    height: 100%;
	width: 100%;	
}

/* button position */

.page__toggle__buttons > label:nth-child(1) > p:nth-child(1) {
  margin-left: 0;
}

.page__toggle__buttons > label:nth-child(1) {
  margin-left: 60px;
}

/* hamburger remplacé par "menu" */

.page__toggle__buttons label p {
	cursor: pointer;
	display: block;font-size: 1rem;
	font-weight: 500;
    height: 48px;
	line-height: 2.7em;
	min-width: 48px;
    position: absolute;
	top: 0;
	left: 0;
	text-align: center;	
}

I tried setting the Top-palette logo to float right or left, but nothing seems to affect any change.

On this site, pideja.ca, the menu button is on the left side as well as the "scroll" menu and the nameplate is on the right.

I tried to reverse this using Backlight to no avail. As for the CSS, the nameplate is named image 22:

/* Top pallet (logo as background image) */

.top-pallet-logo {
	background-image: url("https://pideja.ca/backlight/designer/page/image/22");
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
    float: right;
    height: 48px;	
	width: 316px;	
}

li.top-pallet-logo a {
	display: block;
    height: 100%;
	width: 100%;	
}

Changing the float from right to left doesn't do anything.

#165 Re: Backlight 2 Support » deleted published site » 2019-12-19 03:06:58

Purchased the plug-in. Best $20 investment made to Lightroom yet!

Thanks, Rod, it worked! Re-installed that published site from a two-month-old backup.

#166 Re: Backlight 2 Support » deleted published site » 2019-12-18 06:53:32

Found a viable backup catalogue that contains the missing. Trying to figure out how to transfer the Publishing plugin into my present catalogue.

#167 Re: Backlight 2 Support » deleted published site » 2019-12-18 05:19:57

I have a backup, maybe even two or three...but was the site deleted before or after the backups? Looking for it right now...

I inadvertently deleted a published Backlight site in Lightroom pideja.ca/duc. It's still online and I can still access the Backlight settings. However, nothing remains in Lightroom.

I guess I could manage the albums through Backlight. But, I'd like to "migrate" these albums to another Backlight published site pideja.ca.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks, Matthew...with so many revisions and modifications, it's sometimes difficult to keep track of all these mistakes.

#170 Re: Backlight 2 Support » CSS showing error in Firefox inspector » 2019-12-15 03:58:48

UPDATE...

Found I had two .the__copy selectors. I deleted one and kept the one with the style settings I put in. Looks good now.

Learning to use the Firefox Inspector and I find it is very useful.
However, I have stumbled upon an error message I don't quite understand:

The stylesheet https://pideja.ca/galleries/01-duceppe/ … pideja.css was not loaded because its MIME type, “text/html”, is not “text/css”.

I was trying to change the padding on the top of the main-copy-credits, so I changed the CSS

/* Main pallet credits / top padding */

.the__copy {
  padding-top: 50px;
}

and, returning to the inspector, I found the message.

The padding change does not implement. Did I use the wrong selector?

#172 Re: Backlight Support » Image rendition on mobile » 2019-12-13 03:27:05

I "commented out" the padding setting and..nothing changed on the iPhone nor the desktop.

why do images on these sites look bigger on the iPhone:
https://pideja.ca/tnm/galleries/saison- … single.php orhttps://pideja.ca/duc/galleries/2018-20 … single.php
than these same images here:
https://pideja.ca/galleries/03-tnm/sais … single.php or https://pideja.ca/galleries/01-duceppe/ … single.php.

I compared the settings in Backlight and in the CSS and I can't find what is controlling the size of these images on the mobile.
Regrettably, I don't have a tablet so I don't know if the same phenomenon applies, but I would think it is. The display on the large screen (workstation) is OK.

#174 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Contact page not showing correctly » 2019-12-07 04:10:42

I understand but for now, it was more expedient for me to proceed this way. I want this project to be completed, at least in large part, by next September.
I have shot over 500 productions since 1984 and I'm trying to create a sort of archive of this work.

I am totally grateful for all your help.
