Installation of publisher with pages

Hi Guys
I've got my self all the updates for CE4 and have created my new website with Pages and Stage for the first page. Currently the whole thing sits on www.blastorp.se as a temporary solution!
Im now in the progress of setting up publisher but even after reading the installation-notes and another thread in this forum I still dont really get it! Please bare with me and see if you can throw some light into my path...

For the moment the galleries.php is the page you get to when you hit "enter" on the stage, first page, its of course also the place where you get to if you press "Galleri" in the top menu. I have installed the plugin for CE4 publisher and done the "Authentication Check" the target in the settings there is galleries.
I've also put a CE4 gallery template into the "TTG-BE templates/gallery" -folder. And an autoindex folder in TTG-BE/templates/autoindex
I assume the files goes in under a folder into those directories?!

Now obviously nothing new happens and i still end up at my "galleries.php" that has been created before with pages.

Second the layout of the first page that will meet my visitors on the galleries is now of iconic layout and not exactly what im looking for. My plan was to keep the "Descriptive" style but I as far as I see when creating that template with "CE4 Gallery" i can only choose from Iconic and Masonry... Am I missing something?

Would be very thankful for some help with this, so I can jump onto the next few challanges!
All the best..

I can't even see your Galleries page, it requires a login (and it's an autoindex? why an autoindex rather than the Pages Galleries page?)

At any rate, can't really tell you anything unless we can see the page.

I've also put a CE4 gallery template into the "TTG-BE templates/gallery" -folder. And an autoindex folder in TTG-BE/templates/autoindex
I assume the files goes in under a folder into those directories?!

Correct. your Gallery and Autoindex exports that will be used at Publisher templates go into these folders. Just upload the entire exported folder to the correct file.

My plan was to keep the "Descriptive" style but I as far as I see when creating that template with "CE4 Gallery" i can only choose from Iconic and Masonry... Am I missing something?

Yes
the Descriptive layout is part of Autoindex (and the Pages Galleries page), not Gallery

The galleries-page right now you find at http://www.blastorp.se/galleries.php ... and what Im trying to create is basicly a copy of my old website that is still online at www.airframe.se. On that site I have the galleries with a descriptive layout and that looks and works great and that's what Im trying to create! I assume there is something that needs to be done since the site right now just refers to a normal .php -page with some text on it ... and does not understand that it should read from the publisher...?

The templates for auto-index and gallery are then installed as they should be in the ttg-be/templates/ -folders!

"the Descriptive layout is part of Autoindex (and the Pages Galleries page), not Gallery" - what's the easiest way around that? Can I use an autoindex instead to get the layout I want?

I'm not really clear on what you're doing
but if you want the descriptive index layout you have two options:

Use Pages and configure the Galleries page to use the Descriptive layout (just like your CE3 site)

Use Autoindex and configure it to use the Descriptive layout.

Your galleries can have the standard or masonry layout for the image thumbnails.

Dont ask me why it didnt work with the old galleries page I had but it didnt, just to look at the descriptive layout from the exported page from Pages i did a new fresh export, replaced the old one and it works! So the fix was simple, the only thing i did change was a new uploaded version of the galleries page!

Thanks for the help! Now back to fixing everything else! I'll be back later on when i hit the next wall!
