I would put this in a table to have it properly aligned. You can disable the lines so they don't appear. Have a look at http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … hp?id=6724

#178 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Gallery does not show if page contains a <form> tag » 2019-11-05 00:59:43

Looks like your PayPal form creates some conflicts with the Backlight JavaScript code. I can see this error in the console:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined
    at 32?ppf=on:339
    at 32?ppf=on:456

When you remove the PayPal code, does the gallery show?

Since you are already using the Cart module, you could use the write-in purchase buttons: http://backlight.theturninggate.net/doc … se_buttons

#180 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Sales Tax Issue » 2019-10-31 07:16:44

Michael, did you look into the limits regarding collecting sales tax for remote sellers? For California, you only need to collect sales tax

if, during the preceding or current calendar year, the total combined sales of tangible personal property for delivery in California by the retailer and all persons related to the retailer exceed $500,000

For Arkansas, the limits are $100k or 200 transactions (Since you are in Arkansas, this obviously doesn't apply to you). Depending on your sales volume, you might not need to collect sales tax for out-of-state sales.

#181 Re: Backlight Support » Is it possible to integrate a Wordpress event calendar into Backlight? » 2019-10-30 05:25:10

To get started with Wordpress, please see http://backlight.theturninggate.net/doc … p#wp_theme

Once this is done, you would install the calendar plugin and use it in a page such as /blog/calendar. Then you can link to this page from your Backlight menu. That's it.

This plugin needs a wordpress installation. Do you have one?

Favicons are square (use 32x32 for best support) and in png format.

#185 Re: Backlight 2 Support » ADA compliance » 2019-10-30 04:18:22

Browsing around the internet to get a better understanding (I like this analysis https://webaim.org/techniques/alttext/), it seems like Title to be the most appropriate choice. Caption provides too much information and should be included in the page content and not the alt attribute.

Personally, I would opt to have a token field in the Backlight album settings like we have for Caption. This way, one can set the alt attribute as they like it.

But if Title is the first choice, I'm happy smile

#187 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Filename + Caption in OKAPI albums » 2019-10-24 04:01:42

Pierre, I think you'll need to upgrade your Okapi albums to Pangolin before using Daniel's code.

But if you merely want the filename and caption to appear, just add those tokens to the Photos Caption metadata token field in the album template (under Image Settings) then republish.

{Filename} | {Caption}

It should work with Okapi on BL2 too. But your approach is much easier if Pierre just wants to add the text without major markup.

#188 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Filename + Caption in OKAPI albums » 2019-10-24 02:58:49

All thanks to the power of Backlight 2 and their enhanced API!

#191 Re: Backlight 2 Support » ADA compliance » 2019-10-23 03:47:09

Thank you, Jim. Good guidelines!

#192 Re: Backlight 2 Support » image alt tag vs title tag » 2019-10-23 03:09:48

Since you are using Backlight 2, this thread should be in the Backlight 2 forum. I'll move it over.

This is an example how you can customize single page view: https://lab.danielleu.com/blog/customiz … page-view/. The work necessary will be very similar for your gallery. Which gallery type do you use? Do you have a link? I'll try to see if I can get you a basic example. But this might take a week or two as I'm busy preparing a show.

#193 Re: Backlight 2 Support » ADA compliance » 2019-10-23 03:06:24

Jim, one question: for the alt attribute, is it sufficient to just have the title of the image or do you have to describe the content of the image? Thanks!

#194 Re: Backlight 2 Support » image alt tag vs title tag » 2019-10-21 06:54:44

Do you use backlight or backlight 2. With the later, you can replace the entire gallery with phplugins and the API function album_top(). This way you don't have to hack any files and can change the 'alt' attribute to your liking.

#195 Re: Backlight 2 Support » ADA compliance » 2019-10-20 01:35:55

Just found this interesting read: https://medium.com/@krisrivenburgh/the- … 3c1d58fad9

And a short summary: https://accessible.org/was/

Looks like most of the issues might be content and design of the page and less Backlight related issues.

#196 Re: CE4 Pages » CE4 Homepage Slideshow Has "Disappeared" - NEED HELP URGENTLY » 2019-10-18 08:11:15

There are some files missing:

/lib/js/jquery-1.11.3.min.js
/lib/js/init.head.min.js
/lib/js/modernizr.custom.79601.js

There might be some others.

Anyway, I would recommend you to consider upgrading to Backlight 2, one of these days. Things got so much better and easier.

#198 Re: Backlight 2 Support » Cart - how to put invoice date on confirmation email » 2019-10-16 01:17:32

The confirmation email I receive contains the order date:

PAYPAL DETAILS
Transaction ID	xxxxx
Order Time	2017-03-14T07:44:14Z

I don't know if this is sufficient.

So the web based processor it not really a replacement for the Lightroom publisher.

It is here to provide a way for people to publish images that are not using Lightroom Classic. Like people that use Capture One, the On1 suite or any of the others out there.

Just to make a page like /books you don't need anything. You can do this with BL2. Apart of BL2, I think you'll need the Wordpress and the Cart modules. If you discover down the road that you want/need Stage, you always can add it then.
