Album set not displaying any image
Almost done migrating to Backlight and I have an issue that my galleries only show names of galleries where I'd like it to show images.
My menu navigation is set to AlbumSet -> Galleries -> 2 levels
My testsite is: http://backlight.bluehourphotography.net/galleries/
Any clues on where I go wrong?

Re: Album set not displaying any image
Hi Michael, try editing each of those two Album Sets and assigning a cover image to each.

Re: Album set not displaying any image
you shouldn't need to republish, just editing the album sets should do it. be sure to click the Edit button after making the changes to the Moments and Places album sets.

Re: Album set not displaying any image
And here's a possibly stupid question, are you making this change in the Publisher instance for your live site or your Backlight test site?
(I've got several Publisher instances going and have made this mistake.)

Re: Album set not displaying any image
Not a stupid question.
I just realised that I kept changing the album within the albeit set rather than the album set itself!
So issue is that setting the cover image in Album SET to random does not select random image at all - confident that will be fixed in upcoming release

Re: Album set not displaying any image
Random does not work with album sets unless you manually add images to the album set's thumbnails/ folder. This is because Album Sets contain albums and not images and Lightroom does not export images for album sets.
So if you want to use Random, grab a few representative images and in the Library Module, export appropriately sized thumbnails and then upload them to the respective album set's thumbnails/ folder via FTP.
