#26 Backlight Support » Catalog saving or TTG Publisher saving? » 2018-01-16 20:52:23

I am a little confused as to how to save my settings for whenever I need to install Lightroom again in the future.

An example of what I mean is as follows:

A few weeks ago I had to reinstall windows10 and all my associated programs like office, email etc etc including.... lightroom. When I did this i realised that my TTG publisher had to be reinstalled as well.

Having now recreated my albums and imported the images that go into my albums on my website, I would rather not have to do this all again in the future.

So my question is, how do I save my albums that I have created in Lightroom and not have to recreate the albums and the images associated with them?

Am sure there is a really simple solution, but rather than mucking around and making mistakes, I was hoping you guys can just tell me straight how to do it.
I have attached an image which shows the albums i have created to ensure you all know what I am talking about! smile

Thanks for your help.

I have a problem that a discount code does not work and I get the following error when I apply it at checkout:

You entered an invalid discount code

This is not true as I have discounts and coupons enabled and I am setting a discount of 50%
The expiry date is at the end of this month.

Any ideas as to why this wont work please??

FIXED.... had to clear template cache!!

also, you can delete those extra "animals" listing on your "Downloads" page by going to Backlight > Publisher > Top-level Galleries.

in the photos listing, on the right is a link called Albums. Click on that.
For each album you need to delete, click on the name of it. Scroll down and click Delete.

THANK YOU SO MUCH ROD !!!

It was the albums that were confusing me, didnt realise i could delete them in publisher, was deleting them in FTP and wondering why they were still there.

AWESOME help... thank you again so much for this. Brilliant smile

My top level is called Photos, but for some reason this just isnt working properly.
Why does an album I am creating warns me that it will append a number at the end??? Not sure if this ever happened before but why the hell would i want  a number??
Frustrating

#30 Re: Backlight Support » Backlight+Pages 123 support please » 2018-01-02 04:37:14

Hold on!

Its working but putting it in the wrong place.

Its creating its own gallery for some reason and am not sure how to stop this from happening.

Any suggestions?

In the Publisher plugin, does the API Key authentication pass?

Yes API authentication passes ok.

I am expecting to see a new photo which I have in Lightroom 6 appear in my gallery called animals, but it doesnt for some reason, hence why i am asking for help if anyone can suggest something smile

#33 Re: Backlight Support » Backlight+Pages 123 support please » 2018-01-02 04:17:54

There is, its called DOWNLOAD.

There are different categories within that section. The animal section is what I have been trying to upload to, but havent tried the others yet, as I havent set them up again since i had to reinstall the plugin.

Am waiting for advice from here before I set up my other albums. Hopefully, someone can give me a pointer as to what I have missed out ... if anything! smile

#35 Re: Backlight Support » Backlight+Pages 123 support please » 2018-01-02 03:57:58

No errors, the photo I am trying to upload via the plugin, just doesnt show. Hence why I cant troubleshoot !!!!

HI,

I have eventually upgraded my site to the latest version, but I am now unable to upload photos directly from Lightroom.
Admittedly I had to reinstall windows 10 and then setup my TTG Publisher plugin (hopefully I have done this correctly)!!

Can anyone take a look or does an admin want to login and see why my photos are no longer being published?

Thanks in advance smile

#37 Re: Backlight Support » Backlight Publisher Plugin » 2017-07-18 05:25:55

Thanks Rod for the tip.

I was afraid they wouldn't port over, and I was right. Will have to setup again each time, or open a catalog just for my website to upload. No hardship really, just thought I might be able to do it without having to go through setting everything up again. smile

Guys,

Is there anyway that I can keep and retain my publisher plugin with all my images currently published on the left hand side of Lightroom when I create a new catalog?

Or do I have to enter in the current settings and create a new publisher plugin again?

Perhaps I am doing something wrong when I create a new catalog or something I haven't selected in the current publisher plugin that will come over when I create  new catalog in lightroom?

Thanks for any help in advance.

I bought the cart today,

Updated the LR plugin in lightroom, and unfortunately the tickbox for the Cart option in the plugin is greyed out.

(I have uploaded the cart module to /backlight/modules)

Have I missed something?! smile

You seriously expect them to give away something that takes so much time, expertise, and effort in coding and testing??

Not to mention, something that will probably pay for itself with the first sale.

Of course not.... thats not what I said Rod!!

Everything comes at a cost of course, but for some of us, we are not all made of money......


I like the idea that this is now web based design, rather than design in Lightroom..... So I thank the developers for going forward with this.

See the newsletter from the other day. Cart is planned for late June or early July.
It will likely be available as an add-on module, not built in to Backlight. So it won't just appear with a Backlight update.


Marvelous.... another extra cost! sad

#43 Re: Backlight Support » Shopping Cart » 2016-06-11 00:00:07

Hi Matthew,

I bought Backlight+Pages today.

I can't see any cart facilities.

Can you tell us when this might now happen??

Does anyone know or could tell me if new versions of TTG will be available soon after Lightroom 6 is released?

Thanks smile

#48 Re: CE4 Gallery » Search not working » 2015-01-31 16:58:43

Ah thanks Rod, I missed this update. smile

#49 Re: CE4 Gallery » Search not working » 2015-01-31 07:58:10

I briefly saw it Rod, think from what I have read is that the new version of publisher is stripping out metawords (keywords in particular)

Perhaps there will be an update. smile

#50 Re: CE4 Gallery » Search not working » 2015-01-31 06:49:29

Rod.... given up with the keywords, as originally these worked great, and would prefer to use them, however, for the time being, and foreseeable future, I am using the title of the image to allow the search function to work, which it does, so I have finally......... got the basics running on the site.

Now for the hard bit!! LOL smile

ps... thanks for ALL your help, its been tough, but well worth it so far.
