Thanks guys. Checking out your suggestions since I'm sure you've got better things to do than check my code for typos.

Thanks a million Rod. Always nice to start the day learning something new. Didn't know about the colors in inspector. Now all I need is a desktop code editor that will check my code for the troublesome typos as I go along. Something like a spell-checker only a code-checker.
In your debt, Mark

Well, doggonnit, Got my nav borders top and bottom but now my column color gradient is gone.

Hi Rod,
Whoops. Forgot the link. Blog is at http://blog.photophart.com
Have been trying to add a single pixel border to the top and bottom of the nav with variations on this:
.page__body > nav {
    border-bottom:1px solid black;
    border-top:1px solid black;
}
OR this:
ul#primary-menu {
    border-top: 1px solid black;
    border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}
Or this:
nav ul {
    border-top: 1px solid black;
    border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}
Or this:
nav.spinal__column {
    border-bottom:1px solid black;
    border-top:1px solid black;
}
nav {
    border-top: 1px solid black;
    border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}

Now that I look at this a little more closely it seems the custom css is actually getting seen because my page color gradient is there. Soooooo...I apparently don't have the correct selector in any of the above code. Maybe there isn't a selector for what I'm trying to do, yes/no?
Thanks Mark
Hold the phone...just switched browsers. Now I've got borders all over the place. So, yes Rod, seems to be a browser cache clearing thing. Or, in other words, OPERATOR ERROR!
Duh...

What is the sequence of events I should follow after editing my custom css file. File resides in /backlight/custom/css/myfile.css.  I edit it locally then ftp it to my site server. Do I then need to re-edit the BL page template that uses it? and then re-export the WP theme? Or is there some other step I'm missing. Reason I'm asking is because my custom css additions/changes are not showing up on the page in question.

Awesome collection of photos. They must have required an incredible amount of time spent underwater.

#184 Re: Backlight Support » Not getting it yet » 2016-10-14 09:40:18

In LR in your instance of TTG Publisher (that you used to get the album on the website) right click on the album you want to work with to edit it. Therin  are tabs for Base Settings, Page Content, Features, and Integration.  On the Page Content tab there is a block called Page Copy(MD). That's where you put the text you'd like over the album thumbnails.

#185 Re: Backlight Support » Sequence number in galleries » 2016-10-12 23:54:38

No easy way. What I sometimes do from within Lightroom with the image I need is click "edit in photoshop". Select "copy with lightroom settings". Then, from within Photoshop, select "save as" and just add "_two" or "_three" or "_var1" or "_var2" or something like that to the original filename. Doing it this way will automatically re-import the image into lightroom. Plus, if you sort images in Lightroom by filename the original and the copy will be next to each other.

Just an echo from personal experience. Publishing virtual copies leads to more problems than I have fingers to count them on. There's no virtue in virtual.

Good eyes!! No wonder it wouldn't work. Let's see what happens when I fix that two character bit of stupidity. Oh, and many thanks.

#188 Re: Backlight Support » Is it possible to put a border at the bottom of the header? » 2016-10-10 22:55:11

Hi Rod. Yes my page is using the custom css without issue. I'm using it to put a color gradient on the page, an affiliate listing in the footer and a couple other odds and ends. I tried the code you provided in your response but that doesn't seem to do it. Site is at http://photophart.com  Click on any page but the home page as the image show there hides the bottom of the header.

Anyone know of a custom CSS setting to accomplish this? I've tried all of the following in a dozen combinations and variations:

div.header {
    border-bottom: 1px solid black;
   
    }

.masthead {
    border-bottom: 1px solid black;
   
    }

.masthead a {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #66666;
   
    }
etc.

Using element inspector on the page seems to suggest the selector I'm looking for is either .masthead or maybe .header.
I'm using an identity plate for the header if that makes a difference. I've also tried fiddling with code in the phpplugins sections pertaining to ttg_header_bottom and ttg_masthead_top. My clever axemanship in those sections have only produced some interestingly mangled pages.
Headscratchin.

#190 Re: Backlight Support » Problem with latest Backlight update » 2016-10-07 20:22:37

I was also seeing this problem in IE which I never, ever use for anything (but like the man says, a lot of people still do use it). The fix outlined above worked great to fix it.
P.S. I've begun using VIVALDI as my go-to browser and I'm pretty impressed with it. FYI.

#193 Re: Backlight Support » Reversed selection icons in CRG » 2016-10-05 01:27:41

Bet they are sleeping now. Must be about 1:30 AM on that side of the sphere.

#194 Re: Backlight Support » Reversed selection icons in CRG » 2016-10-05 01:15:37

Hi Rod, Yes that's what I have them set as: Heart for selection and Pencil for feed back. And that is what the respective icons do. It's just that the rollovers show the pencil as Selection and the heart as Feedback. But only on the large image display.

In large image display in CRG the icon to leave comments is the heart and the icon to select an image is the pencil. Seems like that should be the other way around? Yes? Any ideas how I can make it so?
Mark

Addendum: the icons perform the correct function but they are mislabeled in the rollovers.

Beautiful site. Great shots.

#197 Re: Backlight Support » Quality large images » 2016-07-20 20:21:42

When I open PhilippeH's link in Firefox and Google simultaneously on the same PC the image in Firefox is much better quality than the one in Chrome. Curious. No?  Ben asked for a little help so I'm chipping in.

#198 Re: Backlight Support » IT'S ALIVE! Updated to 1.0.3 and added Cart 400, perfectly » 2016-07-13 21:19:29

Ben, you actually ate a sandwich from a gas station? You're a brave man indeed.

#199 Re: Backlight Support » Cart on this site has buttons that do nothing » 2016-07-13 21:13:10

Hi Ben. Did all of the above to no avail. Then happened to notice that the site url on the home page had no www yet the urls to all the galleries did have the www. Hmmm, I said to myself (since no one else at home will listen to me). So in BL settings I changed the site url and the company url to remove the www. Now everything seems to be working. To be honest this whole business of cross-domain clashes is quite confusing. I'm wondering if by changing the url to No www will I mangle things like google analytics that seem to be tracking my site based on the www designation.
Insight most appreciated.
Mark

#200 Re: Backlight Support » Cart on this site has buttons that do nothing » 2016-07-13 20:19:39

Thanks Matt. Prior to upgrading to 103 and cart400 I edited .htaccess on the site to try to get rid of cross-domain issues by adding the following code to it:
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
    <FilesMatch "\.(eot|font.css|otf|ttc|ttf|woff)$">
        Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
    </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_mime.c>

  # Web fonts
    AddType application/font-woff woff
    AddType application/vnd.ms-fontobject eot

    # Browsers usually ignore the font MIME types and sniff the content,
    # however, Chrome shows a warning if other MIME types are used for the
    # following fonts.
    AddType application/x-font-ttf ttc ttf
    AddType font/opentype otf

    # Make SVGZ fonts work on iPad:
    # https://twitter.com/FontSquirrel/status/14855840545
    AddType        image/svg+xml svg svgz
    AddEncoding gzip svgz

</IfModule>

# rewrite www.example.com → example.com

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

After that I had to redirect all my publisher instances to the site without the www. Would that have a bearing on this issue?
