It would be helpful to know what you did when the error happened...
Can you upload a regular album to this new gallery page?
It's not the uploading software that's the problem. It's that the ISP's firewall recognises large amounts of data entering the server as a potential DOS attack and so blocks that particular IP address. I don't know why this should be different when uploading via ftp.
Hmm... can you use DDNS (dynamic DNS) like noip.com with your host in order to whitelist your machine?
Just a note to others finding this thread: there is no need to republish the images when switching from http to https. Whenever one does a change in Lr Publisher settings, Lightroom asked to mark all galleries to be republished. Just cancel out, there is no need for that.
Ben is looking into it, but he is just coming back from his vacation.
This might not be a good idea, but I am wondering if it could be done.
Where there's a will there's a way... and Phplugins or Javascript. Due to the page structure this is not something easy to do.
I can think of several ways to achieve this:
1) Using Javascript, you could move the footer element to a different location at the bottom of the main content. This would likely need some additional CSS to finish the task.
2) With phplugins, use main_bottom to create a new custom footer at the bottom of the main section.
3) Using a custom footer, trick the footer to have two elements, the 'continuation of the pallet' and the footer. Visually, it would look like the pallet continues.
As you see, there are many ways to go to Rome, but there is no easy way to get there.
Looking at your installation, it should point to /photos/backlight... because backlight resides in /photos/. Whatever comes afterwards, that's normal Backlight stuff. And the file exists at http://www.lazeut.com/photos/backlight/ … tyle&p2=33.
I sent a message to Ben & Matt.
Sorry, I don't have an iPad. But you might try
.fancybox-navigation .fancybox-button--arrow_right,
.fancybox-navigation .fancybox-button--arrow_left
{
opacity: 1 !important;
visibility: visible !important;
}Somehow the css file served by Backlight is missing. That's strange. I would assign a different album template and see if this changes something. And then change it back to the original version.
P.S.: On your website they disappear too.
That's how they are supposed to work on MY website.
Works for me on both Chrome and Safari on my Mac.
Sorry, I don't see the css I proposed.
Sorry, if you don't have a link I can look at I can't help.
Hallo Rainer,
Do you have a gallery where we can see that's it is not working? This way we can better debug it. Thanks!
To publish to a different top-level gallery, you need to create a new publishing service where you set the Top-level galleries directory" to something like "clients". This is done in the Lr Publisher service settings.
Depending on the write permissions, you might need to create this directory first using your FTP tool.
Great that you found the solution to your issue and that you shared it with the community! Thanks!
Daniel,
Thanks for posting that excellent example of something I've wanted to do with Backlight for a while (and might at some point get around to actually doing
).
It does show one of my frustrations with trying to write customizations like this. In your code, you make a call to the getMetadata function. I have been trying to figure out for a long time how I would know what functions like this are available to me. As much as I hate to use the "d word", is this stuff documented anywhere? I'm not adverse to the idea of looking at the Backlight code, but I can't figure out where to look!
Thanks,
Paul
Hi Paul,
A getMetadata() example can be found in the phplugins-pangolin-sample.php file that is part of the Backlight installer. Although, you might need to download the latest release to have it. To get an idea about possible options, I just searched (or grepped) through /backlight/modules to see how the function is used. Obviously, since this is undocumented, it might change down the road. Most likely, this might only happen when there is a major release update.
Then there is always the option to ask Ben in the forum.
Best
Here is an example implementation using a formatted token-metadata string with the necessary decoding done in phplugins: http://lab.danielleu.com/blog/better-us … age-pages/
Not having tried it, I feel like this should now be possible using PHPlugins. In the backlight/custom/phplugins/phplugins-pangolin-sample.php file, have a look at the two examples labeled:
Create a custom image loop for albums
Display photo information on single-image pagesThese should give you some idea how to put content on the single image pages, and how to reference metadata.
I feel like Ben might have explained previously how to hack additional metadata into what's exported ... Rod, do you know what I'm talking about? Any idea where to find that?
Matt, you might be referring to your own post where you did this with Javascript. See at the end of http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … 673#p60673
With backlight 2, this is now possible: https://danielleu.com/galleries/_recent … single.php
I have a very rough example on my lab site: https://lab.danielleu.com/blog/customiz … page-view/
Due to the number of metadata you want to include, most likely you have to put them all together in one or two metadata fields with a custom separator: metadata = {Keywords}|{D3}|{T1}|{Creator}|{Location}|{City}|{State}|{Headline}|{ReleaseStatus}. This assumes that you don't use '|' in any of your fields.
Then in phplugins, you split them up again and then create the output you desire. Please keep me posted on your implementation. I'm curious with what you come up with!
Which gallery are you talking about now?
It is breadcrumbs and not breadcrumb!
This works for me:
ul.breadcrumbs li {
color: blue;
}Is the image size control in Backlight settings or must I size each image in an image editing software?
All images are sized 919 x 616, all identical. I set the Album Settings>Presentation>Max.-width to 1440px; the aspect ratio is 4:3 not exactly a fit but close.Will be adjusted later; Vegas slideshow, inline type. In Album Settings>Image Renditions>Photos I set the width at 900px and the height at 600px.
So, why do I still have that 16:9 slideshow stage?
What did you set for Image Scaling? Fit?
For my slideshow, I create the image with the aspect ratio and size in Lr with the target dimension I like to have in the slideshow.
IWhy can't I get the border to be black?
This works for me. Did you clear the template cache (Backlight>Designer>Templates>Clear Template Cache)? And the width shouldn't be 0.
Any way to shut down that line going from left to right?
Set "Show Timer" to Off.
Hi Pierre,
Please have a look at the manual where it shows how to create the inline slideshow with Backlight: http://backlight.theturninggate.net/doc … n_vegas_fs
Maybe something like this:
.fancybox-navigation .fancybox-button--arrow_right,
.fancybox-navigation .fancybox-button--arrow_left
{
opacity: 1;
visibility: visible;
}
