Theatre

I've just upgraded to Backlight 3.

In the dim and distant past I bought Theatre, but have never used it. The version is 125.

In the Admin-Backlight Modules section there is no reference to 'Pangolin-Theatre'.

I do have, though, a Page Template named 'Theatre', but is of Type 'Pangolin Page'. When I try to design or create a page template, under Type there is no option for Pangolin Theatre, only Pangolin Page.

I suspect that I have not installed Theatre correctly - if at all!

As usual I have searched, searched, and gone round in circles to find an answer, all to no avail - most of the references/links to older document pages are dead.

Please remind me how to install the module! Or anything else I can do [careful!].

I also might as well ask this, what do you recommend as a short delay between API requests, please? [My host's server times me out if I upload a couple of album's worth of material in a day!]

Re: Theatre

Theater 1.2.5 was a Backlight 1 version. You'll need to get the current version.
Once you do, and assuming you use the same email address with which you purchased Backlight 3, it will appear in your Backlight Modules page. Just click on the Install link.

I do have, though, a Page Template named 'Theatre', but is of Type 'Pangolin Page'. When I try to design or create a page template, under Type there is no option for Pangolin Theatre, only Pangolin Page.

Theater will be an album template. Once you get it installed, click on Create New Template under Album Templates. Under Type, choose Pangolin Theater.

Re: Theatre

Thanks for that. So where do I find the link for Theatre? And other add-ons? I've scoured the various sites and blogs. Many of the blog items simply go round in circles when following links, as do, mentioned above, links in forum posts.

I appreciate that you have had horrendous problems but there are lots of dead links.
