Galleries page issues

TBC · 2018-02-19 05:14:36

Rod, Daniel, Ben, and Matthew, you have all been so tremendously helpful. Thank you.

I know this information is somewhere, but I have not searched in the right manner to bring up the answer.

I have a Galleries page that I would like populated with my various galleries, rather than a galleries set such as shown below:

I suspect I did not set up the Galleries page properly but am at a loss of what I did wrong.

Secondly, my Galleries page heading (not header) is not the same size as my other pages, in spite of their using the same css.

Correct look:

Thank you for any help you can give,

TBC/Margo

Hi Margo,
I’ve split this into it’s own topic since that other thread was so long and far ranging.
Can you post a link to the site, it really helps if we gave something to look at.
And if you want someone to take a peek at the Backlight backend, consider posting Backlight guest updater credentials.

On the galleries page that Publisher is connected to, you can post all your albums there, is this not the top-level galleries page? Once we see your site on line, we can advise further

Thank you, as always, Rod. http://www.BC-FineArtPhotography.com/TE … backlight/

Until I am pretty satisfied, it is not live but in the sub-directory above.

I hope that works! I know it is something ridiculously dumb I have not done!

Thanks,

You've created a page named Galleries. In this page you've inserted an album set that is your Galleries top-level galleries page. This is the page you see when clicking on Galleries from the menu. (and the url to the album set within is /galleries/galleries)
So essentially, you have two pages named Galleries.

What I would do first is delete the Galleries page from the Pages section of Designer

Then go to your Menu Set and for the Galleries item, instead of choosing Page as the Link To: option, choose Album Set. Then for the album set, choose the Galleries album set.

Thanks, Rod. I thought I followed your directions correctly, but apparently not.

I deleted the Galleries page:

And updated my Design Menu Set. or at least I thought I did:

So far, mostly good.

But, when you check out the header for this page/link, it shows Galleries>Galleries instead of simply Galleries:

Also, I need the header to match the font size as illustrated in the previous post.

Many thanks, as always,

you have two album sets named "Galleries" showing up in the drop-down for the Galleries page in the Menu Set.

it looks like you have an album set named Galleries inside of the galleries folder?
If so, then in Lightroom, move your albums out of it, then delete it.

Where do you have the Publisher API URL pointed to?

TBC · 2018-02-19 11:35:45

Thanks, Rod, once again.

Definite Progress, but the heading shows Galleries with a down arrow (empty), and the font size does not match the other pages:

The Publisher API URL = http://www.bc-fineartphotography.com/TE … publisher/

Take care,

TBC

the breadcrumb (Galleries with the down arrow) is correct and is what's to be expected with the settings you've chosen. If you want "Home" in front of "Galleries," change the setting in Backlight > Publisher > Settings > Breadcrumbs.

To change the font-size of the breadcrumbs you'll need to use custom css.
The selector is: ul.breadcrumbs li

Never mind about the API URL, I actually meant the top-level gallery folder settings in Lightroom Publisher. But that doesn't matter any more seeing as how you've fixed things.

Thanks for this information. Two questions comments. I already have my custom css attached to my BC-FAP Basic template.

Where do I find, or where do I enter the ul.breadcrumbs li ?

I think I came up with a partial work-around by not showing breadcrumbs on one template.

Thanks,

TBC/Margo

Where do I find, or where do I enter the ul.breadcrumbs li ?

Just add it to the page template's existing custom css file.
for example:

ul.breadcrumbs li {
font-size: 1em;
}

Thanks, Rod. I'll experiment with that and font size tomorrow.

Meanwhile, take care,
