#152 Backlight Support » Dropdown box height in add to cart popup » 2017-07-13 01:58:38

Is there a way to change the height of the dropdown box on the add to cart popup? The font I'm using is fine in the dropdown itself but is clipped when only the box is shown.

Thanks.

#153 Re: Backlight Support » https » 2017-07-12 04:02:23

This code will work in .htaccess inside the <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> section:

    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

You also need to change the links in your Backlight settings (company URL, site URL, wordpress ...).

I can't remember if I had to change anything on the uploaded images, but they contain URL's too.

I answered my own question, directly referencing the images solved the "blink".

When I switch from page to page using the menu my logo "blinks". I don't notice this much on Firefox but I do on Chrome and Safari. Could this be due to some inefficiency in my coding (I use phplugins for the logo) or is it just my site being slow (it's hosted on a LAMP server in my basement)?

my function is:

function ttg_pallet_top_title( $style, $path ) {
    echo '
        <li class="logo">
            <a href="/">
                <picture>
                    <source media="(max-width: 440px)" srcset=
                                                 "https://stalkinglight.com/backlight/des … mage&p1=37">
                    <img src="https://stalkinglight.com/backlight/designer/?c=page&a=image&p1=34">
                </picture>
            </a>
        </li>
    ';
  return false;
} // END

Would it be better if I just put the images in a directory on the server and referenced them directly rather than via https?

This is no big deal, just something I'm trying to figure out.

Thanks.

#156 Re: Backlight Support » Pangolin Share Menu » 2017-07-11 23:12:31

I agree easier said than done. There are so many social sites and their sharing syntax is all different, whereas the follow syntax is just a link to the site with your 'userid'.

#157 Re: Backlight Support » Pangolin Share Menu » 2017-07-11 23:01:07

I use those hooks, but on the slideshow there are already some social media share buttons unlike the single image and I wonder if he wants to change those. Just a guess, though.

#158 Re: Backlight Support » Pangolin Share Menu » 2017-07-11 22:52:10

I think maybe he means the image share menu when presentation type is slideshow? I don't see a php hook for that.

#159 Re: Backlight Support » Vegas slideshow resizing? » 2017-07-11 02:56:06

Thanks. It seems like it resizes fine in only one dimension.

I have a Vegas slideshow on my home page and I have noticed that when I shrink the width of my browser window the horizontal dimensions of the slideshow 'box' and the image displayed shrink but the vertical dimension doesn't until I do a page refresh. When changing from portrait to landscape on my iphone the frame with gets wider but the frame height and image height do not until I do a refresh. Is this expected behavior or do I have something misconfigured?

Thanks.

Is there a setting that determines at what screen width the menu switches to the 'blue box'? My top pallet starts to wrap before the menu switches on the desktop when I shrink the screen horizontally.

Thanks.

#163 Re: Backlight Showcase » Website updated to Backlight 1.21 » 2017-07-10 21:14:10

OK, I understand. I'll play with those ideas. Thanks.

#164 Re: Backlight Showcase » Website updated to Backlight 1.21 » 2017-07-10 21:01:48

Mine does the same. Is there any way to tell if the icons wrap in the top pallet and make it taller? phplugins or css?

Thanks.

#166 Re: Backlight Support » Get image URL (jpg) - Add Social Sharing to Single Image Pages » 2017-07-07 08:52:15

Thanks for the code and, yes I am. I can share the php link to fb and g+ but some need a link to the jpg itself.

#167 Re: Backlight Support » Get image URL (jpg) - Add Social Sharing to Single Image Pages » 2017-07-07 08:22:47

Thanks. I was hoping I could be lazy and not have to parse everything. ?

In ttg_single_bottom I can figure out how the get the URL of the image php file but is there and easy way to get the URL of the actual image itself?

Thanks.

#169 Re: Backlight Support » get page URL? » 2017-07-07 02:49:26

OK, I figured it out. I was using "=" instead of "==" in my comparison so I was actually assigning the variable instead of comparing them. Obviously I've forgotten my C/C++ days. sad

#170 Re: Backlight Support » get page URL? » 2017-07-07 02:40:05

Thanks Daniel,

I'm doing something wrong since I have the exact same code in both ttg_main_bottom and ttg_single_bottom and the results are different - works fine in ttg_single_bottom but only returns the home page URL in ttg_main_bottom.

I'm using a LAMP server on my own computer.

I'm trying to get the URL of various pages on my site in phpPlugins so I can add something only on the home with ttg_main_bottom.

The code i'm using is: $actual_link = "https://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI]";

except it always returns the home page URL on each page except for the galleries

eg: I always see https://stalkinglight.com even when the page URL is https://stalkinglight.com/about/.

I'm partially red/green colorblind. I have trouble picking out red on a green background but I see it OK on other backgrounds.

I've gotten everything on my site converted to Pangolin and it was much easier than I had feared, and I really like the new features and tweaks.

For as major a change as this was the initial release was very clean. Having been writing software since the late 60's I can appreciate the magnitude of the task. Well done and thanks again for a great product.
