Community @ The Turning Gate

Hello again!

I'd like to put my photo caption on two lines.

Like doing this

{Title}"<br>" {Caption}

Thanks

Hello,

From what I understand, the easiest way to make a page multi-language is to embed different languages within DIV.
So it means that I will have to convert markdown to html before as we can not put markdown tag within html?

Am I right?

thanks

Hello,
I'm trying to setup a descriptive style that behaves like the one I used to with CE4.
I like this style for presenting Exhibitions.

With CE4, there is a color when mouse over, can't find it with BL2. Guess it was not implemented. Something to add in future?

With CE4, Descriptive text is added right after thumbnails and is not affected by different thumbnails width. BL2 starts text after Thumbnail Max-width. Means that if different width are used or if you resize window, when thumbnails get smaller, text stay at thumbnails Max-Width. And that's not looking good.

You can see the difference if you play with window size between CE4 and BL2

Thanks

Michel,

Hello, I'm preparing to convert my CE4 site and I'm wondering if this approach will work, considering we can now convert directly from ce4 to backlight 2. I use lightroom classic to publish.

I'v read Rod Barbee's old post on February 17, 2017 :  Converting a Publisher-based CE4 site to Backlight.
Based on his post, I have made some modification to test my whole site with all galleries and photos before I go online with backlight 2 :

- Create a sub-domain

- Copy everything from current ce4 site to the sub-domain.
(make sure it is running as well as the original site.

- Follow documentation to upgrade this CE4 sub-domain to Backlight 2.
     take care of always include the subdomain when yourdomain.com is mentioned. (subdomain.yourdomain.com)

- Doc's Step 1 & 2 : Complete installation & Quick setup until providing the API key for Publisher

- Question here : Do I install publisher in lightroom before or after upgrading albums or it does'nt matter ?

- Install the Publisher in Lightroom CC Classic (see doc)
       modify the API URL to include the subdomain 

- Step 3 : From Backlight's dashboard, click the link “Upgrade Albums from CE4”.

- Create and test album and album set templates and assign them directly from Backlight dashboard.

- When satisfied of the new site design, delete everything from the main site and recopy everything from the sub-domain.

- Log into the Backlight dashboard in the main site and go to Settings. Change the Site URL and Company URL

- In Lightroom, go to the Publisher instance that controls the existing albums and update the API URL to the original Backlight location (yoursite.com/backlight/publisher)

Did I forget something? does that make sense? Since backlight 2 dashboard must have changed since backlight 1, do I have something else to do?

thanks a lot for taking time to analyse this one.

I know there will be a lot of files getting to and from my pc... but It will be a good time to take a break!

Michel,

Hello,
sorry for this CE4 questions but may be it's the same with backlight...
So my server provider now needs smtp authentication.
I made the change to smtp instead of mail and put the following info

smtp-mail.outlook.com
outlook email address
outlook password
Port 587
SSL

now, instead of having a security error as before, I receive the following error when sending the contact form.
any idea to resolve this?
thanks

hello again,

testing a thumbsnail trick from Matt with publishing a hiden "custom thumbnails album".
Seems that the hidden album still shows with a close eye append to the  name.
you can see the test here  in last thumbnails http://test.cyrichard.com/

thanks again

Hello,
In tables section of Typography of the default page template, the .table-striped odd and even doesn't seem to do what I expect. (or I misunderstand something...)
The border color works as expected but nothing happens when I change colors of striped odd or even.
I was expecting something like my ce4 site http://cyrichard.com/services.php
but with my test backlight site, it does this without any difference between rows http://test.cyrichard.com/presse/

thanks
