Installing Backlight in a sub-folder

Hi Rod,

I just purchased backlight for the first time.
I want to install it on my website but in a sub folder named "galleries". I don't want it taking over the existing website. Would you be able to help at all?

Many thanks Robert

Re: Installing Backlight in a sub-folder

You can install Backlight in a sub-folder if you wish.
But if you’re not using the Pages module, there really is no need to.

You can upload the backlight/ and galleries/ folders to the root of your site and set up Backlight and Publisher to just create albums and album sets inside the galleries/ folder.

Re: Installing Backlight in a sub-folder

As Rod says, Backlight doesn't really take things over. If you have an existing Wordpress site, for example, then it's okay to mingle the two in the same location, e.g.

backlight/
galleries/
.htaccess (from WP)
index.html (from WP)
wp-admin/
wp-content/
etc.

Also as Rod says, this setup suggests that you are NOT using the Pages Add-on.

If you want to provide us more information about what you've got set up already, we may be able to offer more specific advice.
