How do I change cell number size and make labels show up on thumbnails

charles_i · 2014-10-15 05:57:51

I can't figure out how to change the default cell number size in the thumbnails. I found this post in a search but it doesn't work for me:

http://community.theturninggate.net/top … ormatting/

Do I actually have to drill down into AppData/Roaming... etc. and modify CSS code to do this? Why isn't it just a text size slider like some of the other areas (ie Topography).

And I can't get the labels I've chosen (Title and File Number) to appear in the thumbnails either - I was able to do this in CE3.

use custom css to modify the cell numbers

are you using Publisher?
If so: http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … ata_tokens

otherwise, please post a link to a gallery you're having problems with.

I tried this already - added this to the custom css but it made no difference in the LR preview.

.cellnumber {
font-size:10px;
}

Even when I correct the path. Something is wrong with the structure of this. My CE4 Gallery is here:

C:\Users\Charles\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries\CE4-Gallery.lrwebengine\lib\phplugins\

inside that folder is phplugins.php

and the CSS folder is inside of that (not inside phplugins) - in the linked code it has this as the path:

which can't be right because I'm already in the phplugins folder - but even f I remove that I still don't get a hideous red background to show that it's working.

And yes I am using Publisher, but is there not a way to see in the Web Preview how Date, Filename and Cell Nummber layout will look like it was in CE3?

And when I tried to Publish this folder I got the error message: "An internal error has occurred TTGPublsihServiceProvider.lua.623 attempt to concatenate field 'watermark' (a nil valune)"

I've never used Watermarks.

Hi Charles,

Adding custom CSS code is done on your web server and not in the lrwebinge on your computer. Please see http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … custom_css and for more about phplugins http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … _phplugins.

Sorry, but the only instruction given about the location of these files is:

"Enable this function to implement the custom.css file in your website."

Where exactly is "in your website"? I tried in the gallery/cart-default online but that doesn't work for me either. It doesn't make sense that changing my CSS file online will affect the Web Preview window in LLT 5.

It doesn't make sense that changing my CSS file online will affect the Web Preview window in LLT 5.

It won't. You'll need to either view the changes online or use a virtual server like WAMP or MAMP to view custom css changes locally.

Where exactly is "in your website"?

people typically place their custom css file within the /phplugins/css/ folder on the web server.
You'll need to enable phplugins and activate the code inside the phplugins file to enable custom css.
The links above have the instructions on how to do this. But here they are again:
enable phplugins: http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … _phplugins
enable custom css: http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … custom_css

Thanks, I figured it out. In case anyone else has these problems.

Labels - use Metadata1 and Metadata2 for the preview (Title and Caption don't appear in preview) and use the same fields in in Publisher Setup if using Publisher

Phplugins - on my server I had to use an absolute path to the CSS file in phplugins.php - a relative path doesn't work

And for .cellnumber styles I had to use !important.
