Page formatting lost after updating modules

Yakima77 · 2019-10-03 05:02:04

I was updating the photo for one of my mastheads when I noticed that there were some module updates available (2.0.10 for admin, designer, and framework). However, after doing the updates (including subsequent reinstall efforts and cache dumping), the gallery pages appear without any formatting. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

try clearing template cache from the link on the main Backlight dashboard

Unfortunately, that has no effect. I also made a brief comparison between the on-line files and an off-line backup but nothing seems to have gone missing. Curiously (or perhaps not), the page linked to the root index file formats correctly, unlike the gallery pages. See

also, if you skipped an update, there was a Publisher update in v 2.09. So if you're updating from v 2.0.8 or previous, be sure to download and install the latest version of Lightroom Publisher (assuming you're using Publisher to upload your albums)

check the site url in Backlight Settings. It should be http://www.lazeut.com/photos/

It's https://www.lazeut.com/photos/ so nothing there. I did notice that that the last announced update was 2.0.9. Did I stumble upon something I shouldn't have, has there been an official 2.0.10 release? I installed the 2.0.9 release when it came out and have had smooth sailing up until today.

the current version is 2.0.10
there was a Publisher update in 2.0.9

if I copy and paste the url of your site (from your earlier link), it starts with http, not https

so double check your settings

Somehow the css file served by Backlight is missing. That's strange. I would assign a different album template and see if this changes something. And then change it back to the original version.

I looked at the source code for one of my pages. The first line below may point to the css problem. Should that line point to /photos/backlight like the other two? Also the code that follows (?m=publisher&c=gallery&a=stylesheet&p1=style&p2=19"/) is unlike what I've found on The Turning Gates demonstration pages. Any thoughts? Thanks

Looking at your installation, it should point to /photos/backlight... because backlight resides in /photos/. Whatever comes afterwards, that's normal Backlight stuff. And the file exists at http://www.lazeut.com/photos/backlight/ … tyle&p2=33.

I sent a message to Ben & Matt.

Thanks, I appreciate your help.

I've now found two areas in the php code generated by the 2.0.10 update where the URL pointers are incomplete, given that my Backlight installation resides in a "photos" folder rather than the root folder of my website.

I have created a test static php page using the full "/photos/backlight..." pointer in both the css and script lines. This static page appears to work as intended.

However, I think the script line (elsewhere) may have also affected my ability to upload files from Lightroom. Please note that the 2.0.9 update worked with no problems.

I hope this helps with troubleshooting.

Ben is looking into it, but he is just coming back from his vacation.

Can you log in to the Backlight admin, and visit the link "Update Backlight Index Files" under Special Links on the main admin page.
Does that solve it? If not, please provide me with a Backlight admin login, and FTP access via email, so I can look further into it.

Please check your email. This was a combination of three things. 1. having mod_rewrite set to off in the album .htaccess files, 2. having a site in a subdirectory and 3. a bug where URLs aren't being set correctly when both 1. and 2. have occurred.
The bug was introduced when changing Backlight to not require URL rewriting, especially so that it could work on non-Apache web servers.

Yakima77 · 2019-10-09 23:01:36

Thanks, Ben. Everything is working now. Setting the mod_rewrite to off was done in 2016 as a work around for a web server problem.
