AHA! Thanks for this one. It takes while to figure out where everything is. Inspector didn't seem to differentiate and I assumed there was only one css set in/lib.
This is a general question that has me stumped. When I have a site open in Chrome and highlight an item the inspector will show me the css and line number for the item I am interested in. When I open that css file in an editor it shows many fewer lines and the selector I want is not found. How can this be?
I worked around the problem by copying the selector from inspector and putting it in my custom.css.
Example: Open www.photoimpressions.org in Chrome, select any gallery and open any image for the highslide show. Select the caption and open inspector. it will show that the font size is 12 at line 1442 in style-component.css. (Over-ridden to 14 in custom.css) When I open the component.css in Notepad++ or my Cuteftp editor they only shows 879 lines. Inspector shows that there are 1734 lines in this file.
you can spend days trying to find selectors that you know should be there but you can't see them. Any ideas what is going no here?
YES! That is what I wanted.
Now on to HTML5! (Another day).
I was changing those things as you wrote your last message. Take a look now.
Thanks a lot.

Okay, I got custom to work and am now trying to get the thumbnail shadow under control. I used
#.ce4-standard .griditem {
box-shadow: 4px 4px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
}
to control the shadow on the box but that is not what I want to do. (it is turned off right now) http://photoimpressions.org/galleries/paris/
I have been scouring the css files and can't find any controls for the thumbnail.
I used the home path, redid the Pages and got custom to work. Now I need to figure out how to enter the things I want to control.
Thanks,
paul
Interesting. When I clicked on the second link above I got this
Not Found
The requested URL /phplugins. was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
The folder is there and everything is spelled correctly. When I use the first url I get a google listing of all the pages on the site.
Luckily, I have no hair, or i would be bleeding from the scalp right now.
I did remove those two lines and the path was entered properly in Site Info. When I first started with CE4 I had entered the path as http://photoimpressions.org /ttg-be/phplugins but later changed it to http://photoimpressions.org/phplugins. When custom didn't work with the second one I put the phplugins folder in both locations but it still doesn't work.
Where is the path referenced throughout the site so I can search for any problems? The very first time I created a Pages set I had misspelled it and one of those bad paths might still be in there someplace. Possible?
Thanks,
This was to set up the video
AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType video/mp4 .mp4
AddType video/webm .webm
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(og[gav]|mp4|m4a|webm)$ no-gzip dont-vary
Well that item brings up another issue. I created an .htaccess file in Notepad++ but it crashes the site so I ignored it until now. I have a later project to put up a few galleries with html5 videos which is when i planned on confronting that one.
I did see one or two of the sample sites with a slide show in home page left side image just like I had in CE3.
Yes. Where does the call come from? The last time I made a Pages set I copied everything to the server except the galleries and fragments folders.
here is the HOOK setup in the index.php
// Begin hook processing
define( 'TTG_ROOT', __FILE__ );
define( 'TTG_HOOK', 'http://photoimpressions.org/phplugins' );
define( 'TTG_COMP', 'TTG CE4-Pages-home 4.0' );
if (file_exists( TTG_HOOK . '/phplugins.php')) {
require_once TTG_HOOK . '/phplugins.php';
Is this correct?
Yes on this item. It looks good www.photoimpressions.org I have a few niggles to take care of.
1. I would like to make the drop shadow on the thumbnails larger but I can't get my custon css to be recognized.
2. I would like to get a slideshow running in the home page image box.
Neither of these are pertinent to this discussion. i posted the first in phplugins and have not yet worked on the second.
Thanks for all your help.

I have tried everything I have found here and still cannot get custom.css to work. I even put the phplugins folder at the root and in /ttg-be. Perhaps you can set me straight. www.photoimpressions.org
Thanks,

My mistake. I still have /publisher/templates from CE3 and put the changed template there.
I used that name because it was the name of the template from CE3 and it made it very simple to migrate the galleries. I used your naming convention when I exported them but copy and rename them to match the one from CE3 to make migration easy to do.
See you over at phplugins
It looks like you have a typo in this path httpd.www/phplugins/phplugins.php
It didn't work for me. i changed the style from Masonry to CE4 Standard, exported with the original name, put it in the server and there was no change in the appearance of the galleries. www.photoimpressions.org
Thanks, that's the kind of information I was fishing for.
I created a gallery template in CE4 and named it the same as the template that was used in a CE3 site. i migrated all the CE3 galleries to the CE4 site and it worked perfectly (good job). I have made some changes to the CE4 template and wonder if I can use the following procedure to remigrate the galleries.
1. Use CE4 Publisher to delete all the migrated galleries.
2. Put the new template in place using the original name as in CE3.
3. Migrate the galleries again.
I assume this will work. Are there any things to watch out for?
Thanks,
Paul
Yes, I meant the large images. Thank you.
I completed the transfer of the CE3 site to CE4. I decided to use the 1px frame as is. www.photoimpressions.org
I have one more item that I would like to change and that is the placement of the title and caption in the galleria. The default is on the bottom left and i would like to see them centered. i can't find the css item to control that. Where will I find it?
Thanks,
Paul
Can you be a little more specific? I have them in the order I want them to appear on the nav bar but selecting Home for the Page assignment combines the index and galleries content into one page. i can play with combinations and permutations of these settings all day and may stumble on the right setup.
I did install the CE4 cart but only changed the password in admin. I wll have to see what I need to do next.
Yes, but the nav bar comes from pages and it is not working right. In CE3 I had the layout you see, with Visit on the left and home in the second slot. When you opened the url the galleries opened instead of home. That is what I want to do here.
I realized that I do not need Autoindex for this site since it is a one level set of galleries. I deleted the Autoindex set and used the default autoindex from Pages. www.photoimpressions.org
The cart icons are dimmed in the Album At The Top, which is the only one created in CE4 Gallery. The rest are legacy galleries from CE3 that have not yet been converted.
That put the galleries in the home page and left galleries empty. www.photoimpressions.org
In the Nav section the first entry is Visit the Galleries pointing to galleries and the second is Home pointing to index.
