Help Creating Pages
Hi,
I just recently got backlight+pages and I have been watching the tutorial and reading documentation over and over but I can't figure out how to create a page for my website. It is currently a functioning website but I am looking to overhaul it with backlight. The only backlight menu that I have is at domain/ttg-be/admin and it gives no functionality for creating pages. Lightroom has the pages module, but I have no idea how to get rid of the demo thing, and actually create and edit a page. The tutorials were unclear and other than the turning gate ones i struggled to find tutorials anywhere else. Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks!

Re: Help Creating Pages
the new backlight admin panel (in case you did the installation correctly) is found at "http://www.domain.tld/backlight/". Before you start you I suggest to read and understand the template part as it makes things really easy 
This it how it should look like 
In case you read the "wrong" documentation here is the official one --> http://backlight.theturninggate.net/docs/doku.php
Each page needs a template (i.e. 1 coloumn, 2 coloumn --- but you can use the same template for several pages or even albums / album sets)
Matt did a video a while ago and some menu structures may look a bit different now but to get a feeling how backligt works take a look at this video --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtzGfUiC6kU

Re: Help Creating Pages
Yep, ttg-be is not part of Backlight
The only backlight menu that I have is at domain/ttg-be/admin and it gives no functionality for creating pages.
This is the TTG-BE interface from CE4
Lightroom has the pages module, but I have no idea how to get rid of the demo thing, and actually create and edit a page.
Again, this is CE4 not Backlight. There are no Web Module plug-ins for Backlight so there is no designing or page creation done in Lightroom when using Backlight.
Are you transitioning from a CE4 site? If so, these may help
From a CE4 Publisher managed site: http://ttg-tips-and-tricks.barbeephoto. … backlight/
From a CE4 uploaded gallery based site: http://ttg-tips-and-tricks.barbeephoto. … backlight/
And the basics of the Backlight template system: http://ttg-tips-and-tricks.barbeephoto. … templates/
