Cannot see Theater Add-on in Album Templates after install

oceanman22 · 2018-01-19 03:56:44

I copied the Pangolin-theater folder into backlight/modules on the server but when I go to the Backlight Album Templates and try and Create a new template there is a no choice for Pangolin Theater in the Type drop down. Only "Backlight Standard Album". I installed today's update and everything seems to be working fine after that and then I did the install of the Pangolin Theater.

Help appreciated

Jim

I think I got it. I had to create a Pangolin page and after that I had a choice for the Pangolin album. I'll work is more but this should do it. I found a previous instance listed on here

yep, to use pangolin-based modules you need to first have created a Pangolin page template.

The main reason I purchased the Theater add-on was to occasionally link a Youtube video to an album in my website. I have seen and read references here that it can be done but nothing specific enough for me to figure out how to do it.

Help appreciated.

Thanks

have you checked the documentation?

Yes I found it last night. The problem is that when I follow those instructions I do not get the following when create or modify an existing Theater Add-on

Set Presentation Type: Video
Set Video Source: “Vimeo” or “YouTube”

I am definitely missing something obvious but can't figure out what

you're not seeing this in the Presentation section of the Theater album template?

oceanman22 · 2018-01-20 00:12:24

Definitely not. Wish I did.

oceanman22 · 2018-01-20 00:14:00

can you send a screen shot of where you found this ?

rod barbee · 2018-01-20 00:19:46

it's in a Pangolin Theater album template under the Presentation tab

Make sure you've created a Pangolin Theater Album template, not a regular Pangolin Album template

I can take a look if you like. If you want to send me Backlight guest credentials I'll look at your template.

I have to head out for two or three hours but I'd be happy to take a look when I get back.

Ok, I got it figured out. When I created a Pangolin album I did not select "Theater" the first time. I had selected "album" I now it the presentation types showing. I think I may have it now. But no assurances yet that I won't be back.
Thanks Rod

Thanks again Rod. Backlight is great.

It works.
