I am getting this message on all my local sites
The module was not installed: Class not found: ZipArchive. To fix this, reinstall Backlight at /backlight/installer
I have checked permissions and deleted sessions which used to fix update issues
Any ideas?
Cheers, prefer an explanation as well as a solution. Have commented out those two lines on local as well as hosted as they are redundant
### 1an1IONOS Hosting
Server API - CGI/FastCGI
Fastcgilogging - 1
### Local mac Apache Hosting
Server API - Apache 2.0 Handler
If you wish to take it further I am happy to provide logon etc. Otherwise i will make sure they stay commented out
Thanks
By adding those changes the download now works. I cannot see why a Lightroom created Album downloads but a Backlight created Album does not Especially when using the same Album Template. Also why it does work on a local system. The only difference is that my hosted site is HTTPS but my local site is HTTP. I am just changing the local hosted site to be HTTPS my section of the site is HTTPS but as soon as I go to the backlioght galleries section it is HTTP. ) galleries index page is secure
Replied by email with access codes and login
I have various albums some allow downloads some don’t controlled via different album templates. Normally I create these via Lightroom and upload them to my local hosted site. When I am happy I then sync my local to my hosted site “1and1 IONOS” after changing the site url from my local name “sp-photo.site” to my real domain “www.stevepeacock-photography.com” everything works fine I am able to download photos in both cases.
This time I decided to use the web uploader to upload images to my local site (the images come from a different Lightroom Catalogue) so I created the album used the same template as before added the access code which all my albums have. Tested it locally no problem downloaded images. As everything worked fine I synced the site changed the URL, cleared caches. The album was working as expected but when I downloaded I got a file called “download.php.html” I repeated all my tests checked permissions on my hosted site. Rechecked previous download albums and they still work.
My download files are uploaded manually, into a standard folder. As the hosted site is a duplicate of my locally hosted site all file names and folder names are identical.
Any ideas?
Also the Updates Pangolin’s PHPlugins samples still appears to be the original Modified daye Sept 2018. Should this have been included in the update process or does it have to downloded seperatly?
I have just upated my site with no issues as usual. However when i downlodaed the LR Plugin I noticed its modified date was September 2018 the same as the original one I had. can you cofirm what the modified date of the latest version is please

When uploading directly using backlight not lightroom is the image resized to that defined in the settings or should I resize first. I am talking about reduction not enlargement
Fixed it. I was ble to copy the backlight and galleries folder. But to access admin to delete albums and change main settings I had to delete the existing sessions files.
I want to clone a whole site from my main domain to my subdomain. The subdomain is where i put personal galleries for friends and family. As manu of the images dont come from lightroom I have usually done this manually bu uploading not publishing. Many of the albumns have been produced using your TTG 2018 Gallery templates etc. As I can noiw working directly through backlight I would like to duplicate my other backlight site without galleries etc and then create and upload directly via Backlight. I know that I can export and import templates but what about uploaded images that is use in headers, phppluging etc.
I have tried copying the backlight folder and galleries folder in the hope I copuld remove unwanted albums via backlight but I just get to many errors and am unable to open Backlight admin
I have found the ability to modify certain aspects of the album from withing admin rather than lightroom a big improvement. As I dont need to republish.
Two examples, defining a specific thumbnail image (I forgot) and Changing Access Code.
I have occasionally in the past published and album with a password and tested then realised I had forgotten something so changed it and re-published and the original unchanged password does not work. So I have had to retype it and re-publish. Now it is so much easier and I can do it from any computer so thank you.
One question though are the chnages to the thumbnail image and the password get propogated back to lightroom when i later re-publish or must I change them in Lightroom to make sure they do not get reset
Found it it is Gallery help but only on CRG albums. Is there something similar for ordinary albums ie what is the chain link icon for I know what is does but need to say why a clinet may need to use it etc.
I am sure sometime in the past I had a help optopn on my site that explained whatbthe icons mean ie how to download a image (if available).
I dont know when but it appears to have gone, I am not sure if this was something I added with your help or something you included.
I have just been asked by a client how to do something again, and was about to say click on this it will help you when I realised there was nothing to click on
Just Installed the latest update, great to see the slider for duration and real and very pleasant surprise to se the fade duration. Just started playing with that in PHPPlugins and failing miserablely. So thank you
It works, me being dumb.
Since coming back and adding your code I started testing on a galleria slideshow not an album slideshow.
So thanks for the help am]nd sorry about the confusion
Cleared the Template Cache, Slimmed down my PHPPlugin file, checked it was beign referenced in the Album Page Template, clearted browser cache, used ingognito window. Still no luck.
This is my full PHPPlugin file
<?php
function user_load($style, $path) {
$g_tsvrl = explode(' ', $style); // Extract gallery type
define ('G_STYLE', strtoupper($g_tsvrl[1])); // and set global for later
$g_path = str_ireplace('\\','/',$path); // change \ to /
$chunks = explode('/',$g_path); // and put into array
define ('G_PATH', strtoupper($chunks[count($chunks)-2])); // gallery folder name is second to last
//define ( 'TTG_SITE', ''); // set new site root for navigation, resources, etc.
}
if (defined('BACKLIGHT_HOOK')) {
require_once(realpath(BACKLIGHT_HOOK).'/modules/module-designer/application/helpers/APHPlugins.php');
}
class PHPlugins extends APHPlugins
{
// Adds custom
function scripts() {
echo '
<script>
$.fancybox.defaults.slideShow.speed = 10000;
</script>
';
}
// ****************************************************************************************************
// END USER FUNCTIONS
} ?>
Found what i think is the code required
slideShow : {speed : 1000}
so tried to add it to myPHPPlugin as
echo '
<script>
$.fancybox.slideShow : {
speed : 1000
}
</script>
';
This gave me no errors on page load but did nothing. I am afraid I am now outside my comfort zone so help ould be apperciated
Thanks but it is not the Vegas or Galleria slide duration it is the Pangolin Album. It looks like it is in the Fancy box code as Rod pointed me to. Just need to figure out If then How I can change it using PHPPlugins
Just checked with Baclight 1 setup and it does not have an option to change the slide duration so now doubting my memory.
So to refrash the question Is there a way to change the slide duration in a Pangolin Album slideshow.?
Pangolin Album, Photo Presentation, Slidshow You have 3 colour options, Loop slideshow and Slide tranition but no slide duration. Not sure how but mine is currently 2 seconds. Vagely rememnber chaging it but cannoit remember how. Assumed it was/would be here
Probably going daft here, on an ordinary album page I can find the slideshow transition type and loop or not loop but not the slide duration.
Any ideas, I am sure i changed it to a very short time in BL 1 but never changed it back to something reasonable
