Backlight publisher does not seem to be uploading pricing scheme data

Currently running the latest updates from BL2 that came out a few days ago: BL 2.0.5, Cart 5.0.4, Publisher 4.0.5 Doing all my publishing from BL2. Encountered this problem when I tried to add a couple photos to an existing online album. The 2 photos have pricing scheme data stored in the category field of the metadata. This is confirmed in both Capture One  and Photomechanic. When the images are published via BL2 the pricing scheme seems to not be transfered and the pricing of the 2 images is set at the default setting. I have deleted and republished these 2 images a dozen times each. Cleared cache in BL2 and in browser. Clicked "Updfate Album Files" in BL2 admin. Examining the database in phplite I don't see the pricing scheme metadata for either of these photos.
Album with problems is here: https://photophart.com/art-prints/art-p … and-white/
Images with problems are: "Layers, Lines" and "Rain Drops On Pine"
Category (pricing scheme) should be "Collector_BW_13X19" Both are listed with default pricing.

I'm just now looking at the naming of the gallery where these images reside and wondering how I got 3 dashes in that directory name. Could that be the problem??

Thanks in advance, Mark

Re: Backlight publisher does not seem to be uploading pricing scheme data

Is mixed pricing enabled in the album template?

Have you been able to used mixed pricing before with images uploaded with the Backlight Publisher?

Excellent idea Rod but, yes , mixed pricing is enabled. Mixed pricing was working when the album was originally published from Lightroom a couple months ago.

I’ll try to duplicate on my test site

Tried one other check to make sure the pricing data was actually in the category field in metadata by using Jeffrey Freidl's online metadata viewer and his tool confirms the metadata is correctly in the image file.

Re: Backlight publisher does not seem to be uploading pricing scheme data

I am able to duplicate this. It appears that perhaps Backlight Publisher is not grabbing the contents of the Category field.

As a test, I added the {Category} metadata tag to the thumbnails metadata 1 and CellNumber and Caption in metadata 2.
The result was nothing showing in metadata 1 and what I expected in metadata 2

I also had added the Category metadata tag to the large image metadata but the category content did not appear.

So it looks like Category isn't getting harvested.

Ben will need to look into this.

Ben, if you want to look, the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 6th images in this album should have a pricing scheme of "mixed-test", but nothing appears in the data-price attribute of the image.
https://backlight-2-100.barbeephoto.com … cing-test/

The entire album is using the pricing scheme entered in the Features tab in the Backlight album edit screen.

Any further behind-the-scenes activity on this topic?

Re: Backlight publisher does not seem to be uploading pricing scheme data

We have a fix in testing that we'll fast-track once we confirm it's working.  This was caused by a regression in the most-recent maintenance release.
