Ok no problem.
guest/guest
Thanks so much!

Ah I see it's smart enough to just sort it out without re-uploading all the photos.
I think I have what I want!
Yup - I got my parent child figured out.
(If only I could figure out parent/child in the real world)
#203 Re: Backlight Support » Album Sets » 2017-11-13 09:59:11
Ah - I'm getting there.
Thanks - I'll plug away
So if I have already published an album that should be in a set, do I have to drag & drop that into an album set (in LR) and re-publish it?

Is there a tutorial on what this is and how it's done?
I think that it's for creating a parent page with multiple child albums.
I want to create this page, and add child albums to it.
I see there is an option in LR to create an album set.
I tried to create an album using that, but it won't allow me to add images to it.

I'm also using Vegas. Thanks for the comparison - I'll see if I can hunt down that setting.

So, I have signed up with Bluehost.
It is going to take a few days (3-5) before the switch is made, apparently. Meanwhile I cannot publish an album due to this GoDaddy problem!!!
Is there a workaround? I guess I can wait a few days while I figure out a few things.
Edit: It looks like if I keep publishing, it picks up where it left off.
I have a gallery of 300 photos, so, at 10-20 uploads between crashes, it's going to take a while, but it's a workaround.

The Slideshow settings don't have anything that I can see would affect the nav. menu.
If I disable playback controls, they still show (both desktop & mobile).
Also, I was double checking using IE and when I first visit/load the site, there s a large white box in the centre of the Content area. It does diappear when you refresh, but that's another bug.
#208 Re: Backlight Support » No navigation menu on tablet or phone » 2017-11-13 07:12:07
What is your Navigation > Horizontal Navigation setting?
It's set to 'Top Pallet', so it shows up on a desktop as expected, and you would expect it to be on the mobile devices too, but it's not.
#209 Re: Backlight Support » No navigation menu on tablet or phone » 2017-11-13 04:38:52
try 'has height on mobile' for top pallet
That is 'on' - Any other suggestions please?... Anyone?

Hi,
Just spent 2 hrs. last night trying to get menus to show up. Could not get them to work, or so I thought...
I was working and checking using my Windows 10 tablet.
I checked my desktop before night night and saw that menus are there.
Probably were there a while back, but I assumed they weren't, because I was working/checking on the tablet, all along.
So why don't I see them on my tablet or phone? Bug?

Maybe when the slideshow is full screen, you don't see the auto refresh?
Or just maybe it's because I had the Bottom Pallet/Copyright off....
Doh!
#212 Re: Backlight Support » Album changes not updating » 2017-11-12 14:02:56
I had a setting wrong - it's fixed now.
I am logged in.
#213 Re: Backlight Support » Album changes not updating » 2017-11-12 13:37:50
So you would expect that 'Full Screen' under the Vegas Slideshow settings would do just that. Is there a document on what that and 'Inline' actually mean? Selecting one or the other doesn't change anything.
Peter
Edit: Looks like I have to 'Clear Template Cache' (quite often) for things to appear properly.
So full screen shows images either side of a white rectangle - I guess that's a place holder in the page, that will have to be changed.
#214 Re: Backlight Support » Album changes not updating » 2017-11-12 13:31:28
Oh I guess that is defined in Lightoom?
It's kind of confusing that some things have to be assigned in LR and not in Backlight - but I guess it's meant to be used with LR, so I get it, but still confusing at first!
But... I now have a slideshow!
The auto-refresh icon in the lower right and Backlight logo lower left are not there - I noticed that early on, is that a bug?
I will now try to fine tune the slideshow settings - I want to go full screen except for the menu items.
Oh, thanks for your help!
Peter
#215 Re: Backlight Support » Album changes not updating » 2017-11-12 12:44:46
I see. So I went to Lightroom and re-published the album - I think it's correct now, but I still don't get a slideshow.
#216 Re: Backlight Support » Album changes not updating » 2017-11-12 11:02:13
To summarize:
I created a new page template, which is assigned to the home page (Backlight/Designer/Page/Home/Design: Page Template = 'New Front Page' (the name of my new page template).
The new Album Template is assigned to 'New Front Page'
I try to change something in the Design Template (Album Settings) menus, like Presentation/Enable Controls but the site doesn't get updated.
The Presentation Type is set to Vegas Slideshow, which also doesn't work.

Probably something obvious, but I can't see.
I created a new template, nothing changed in it though, just called it 'New Front Page'
Then I assigned it to my 'Home' page by selecting it from the drop down under 'Page Template' in the Design Page screen.
I can change things in the Design Template (Pangolin Page) menu, I can add a different album in the Design Page (Page Settings) menu too.
I try to change something in the Design Template (Album Settings) menus, like Presentation settings, and nothing gets updated.
It's like it's using a different album.
Auto refresh is on and manually refreshing doesn't change anything either.

Is there some other info I can post?
Thanks.
Edit:
I found this http://backlight.theturninggate.net/doc … ull-screen
but after following the instructions, selecting the Vegas Slideshow option still doesn't take.
The page has a mistake on it re. Search button disable - not an option on the Page design. I wonder if this is an old instruction page that is no longer valid.

Looks like GoDaddy has me on an old server and wants me to upgrade to different one that supports PHP 7.0

Hi,
I have just installed Backlight, Pages & Theatre.
As a long time user of TTG LR plugins, I decided to re-vamp the site using the new Backlight tools.
I have managed to make progress, but every time I try to publish a gallery, I keep getting this message:
Can't update this collection
Error uploading rendition.
Unable to complete the action.
Followed by some other gobble-de-gook including:
" [nativeCode]=> 12152
The gallery contains over 300 images and only 21 were uploaded.
I have had this issue on all attempts with smaller galleries.
I also tried after completely removing all folders under the TTG Publisher service (in LR) and deleted all albums under 'Backlight>Publisher>Top-level Galleries>Albums and starting 'fresh'. Still the same issue.
Can I provide any other info that will help?
Peter
