#176 Re: Backlight Support » Backlight 1.2 pangolin album sets » 2017-07-04 21:02:20

I see similar behavior with a Pangolin Album set. https://stalkinglight.com/galleries/

Note that the cover image is random on the albums in the set and there is a mix of landscape and portrait formats in the albums.

#177 Re: Backlight Support » Small curiousity » 2017-07-04 16:31:06

It may have been a few versions back when I implemented it but it was working when I did since I did all my testing while logged in. It's no big deal to me since it is still visible to all who aren't logged in.

#178 Re: Backlight Support » Small curiousity » 2017-07-04 08:58:10

Note that this same thing worked ok in Okapi.

#179 Re: Backlight Support » Small curiousity » 2017-07-04 08:54:03

I have a video menu item that is an album set with hidden from album set checked. It works fine until I log into Backlight and then it disappears. If I log out of backlight it shows back up.

#180 Re: Backlight Support » Okapi > Pangolin » 2017-07-04 06:32:19

Weird. I didn't have to remove and republish any pictures I just changed the album template and pushed the metadata. I expect I cleared the template cache in there somewhere too.

#182 Re: Backlight Support » Okapi > Pangolin » 2017-07-04 06:09:35

You can set TTG publisher to push metadata without updating existing photos which makes the update much faster.

#183 Re: Backlight Support » Pangolin Theater » 2017-07-04 06:07:42

That's correct and probably easier than what I did. I duplicated mine only because I was bouncing back and forth between Okapi and Pangolin for a while.

#184 Re: Backlight Support » Pangolin Theater » 2017-07-04 04:56:59

I just created a new album and put the same images in it as my Okapi slideshow and uploaded it to use. Once I'm 100% happy with Pangolin I'll delete the old album.

#185 Re: Backlight Support » Small curiousity » 2017-07-04 04:38:02

Thanks, I'm just happy I'm not totally crazy. I've been clearing caches and restarting browsers all morning. ;-)

#186 Re: Backlight Support » Small curiousity » 2017-07-04 04:24:14

That's what is supposed to happen.

However, when I log into Backlight as admin I only see the videos menu item on my blog, it is missing from the other pages. When I logout of Backlight it shows back up.

I have noticed that when I am logged in to Backlight one of my menu items only shows up when I am in my blog, it's not there on the rest of my pages. When I logout of backlight it is there on all of them.

It's an album set of some videos (which are each albums). I have the 'hide from album set' radio button checked on the video album set since I don't want it to show up with my other galleries.

This is not a problem for users that are not logged in to Backlight and it seems to work just fine, I was just curious if this was a bug or something I have configured wrong.

Thanks.

#189 Re: Backlight Support » Font Awesome and Social Media Icons Section » 2017-07-04 02:09:29

You don't need the "fa " before the icon name. Try just facebook or facebook-official.

#190 Re: Backlight Support » social media font size » 2017-07-04 01:19:17

The extra dash was a typo but I did forget the semi after the color. Thanks.

#191 Re: Backlight Support » Top Pallet strict width enforcement » 2017-07-03 23:15:42

Ah, OK. So when the Top Pallet stays at the top that's 'detatched' since it doesn't move with the rest of the page. I got it. I just turned width enforcement off since it looks weird when the width changes on my site.

Thanks.

BTW, I do have my site switched over to Pangolin and so far I like it better than Okapi, so thanks for the update. Good work.

#192 Re: Backlight Support » Top Pallet strict width enforcement » 2017-07-03 22:55:29

I didn't know it could be detached. So what use is strict width enforcement for the Top Pallet?

Thanks.

When I have strict width enforcement on for the Top Pallet it still goes to full screen width when I scroll the page. Is this working as designed?

I am using ttg_social_top for my social media icons and I can set the color just fine but haven't been able to figure out how to change the size. I've tried both fa-lg in the class= and font-size-200%; in the style= and neither have any effect.

Thanks.

function ttg_social_top ( $style, $path ) {
    echo '
        <li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/stalkinglight" title="Follow on Facebook" class="social_media fa fa-facebook-official"  style="color:#3b5998" id="social_media_01"></a></li>

        <li><a target="_blank" href="http://www.twitter.com/stalkinglight" title="Follow on Twitter" class="social_media fa fa-twitter"  style="color:#1da1f2" id="social_media_03"></a></li>

    return false;
}

#195 Re: Backlight Support » Youtube video » 2017-07-03 19:19:50

Ah yes, I forgot I had to hack that file in Okapi. Thanks.

As i recall, if http is changed to https it will work with both http and https sites.

#196 Re: Backlight Support » Youtube video » 2017-07-03 08:32:34

I did create a new template, I just used the same settings as the Okapi one.

I'm having trouble getting Youtube video to display in Pangolin. I converted my Okapi templates to Pangolin and hen I look in the source I see the correct Youtube link to the video but it's not playing (or displaying anything in the frame). I'm sure I must have missed some simple step.

An example link is https://stalkinglight.com/galleries/vid … g-the-res/

#198 Re: Backlight Support » Google fonts? » 2017-07-03 00:22:14

I decided to go with a graphic logo and I assume I just missed something when I was playing around with fonts before. Sorry about my confusion.

#199 Re: Backlight Support » Google fonts? » 2017-07-02 19:31:12

I can set something up when I get a chance. So far I've only looked at it it the WP theme live preview so I haven't got anything that can be linked to directly.

#200 Re: Backlight Support » Google fonts? » 2017-07-02 05:09:29

It turns out it doesn't matter what font I use, the title doesn't show up in the Top Pallet using the Wordpress theme generated with Pangolin.
