Daniel,
I embedded them in the Theater add on.
Not sure which links you mean. Or where I can change them.
Thanks,
Jack
Rod,
I did fix the .htaccess file and my site works for everything as a secure site, except for the embedded videos.
Don't know where else to reference https in Backlight.
I am hoping it is a YouTube issue.
Jack
Today I switched my site to a SSL protected site. I switched all the web info and Lightroom Publisher Service inform to the https designation.
I am currently using Blacklight 1 with the Theater add on, and now my embedded YouTube videos come up blank.
I think I need verify my https site with YouTube/Google.
Or is there something else in Backlight that need to be changed?
Jack
Ben,
Did you receive my emails?
Jack
Rod,
Thanks.
Rod,
I understand your response, and have deleted the old index.php and .htaccess files and added the ones from the unzipped Backlight-2-Installer-107 folder. I made sure of this from your first response as well. It dose not fix my problem.
I have the FTP info for Ben. How do I get him that info? I obviously do not want to post it here.
Thanks,
Jack
Ben good talking to you. It has been a while. Hope you are good, and you day is going well.
Regarding my problem, I tried all the items on the link you sent me. None worked. The logs just have the error message in them.
Not sure how to grant you FTP access.
I am trying to convert my test site to Backlight B2 before doing my other 3 sites. I will admit, I am a bit worried as this one didn't work.
Site with problem is stuffbyjack.com/backlighttest
Thanks for your help.
Jack
Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue? I cannot get to my galleries as my site I guess is in between Backlight 1 and Backlight 2.
Thanks,
Jack
Rod,
To your questions;
1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. I copied them over.
Same result. Could not login and forgot password link yields same error.
Jack
I am attempting to upgrade from Backlight to Backlight 2 using the upgrade guide. I have Backlight 2 installed, and when I attempt to login in, I get a username (admin) and password rejection. I tried my password and the "ttg8888" and neither work. I tried the forgot my password link, put in my username (admin) and email address and get this message.
SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1 no such column: email in PdoExtended.php on line 524
I don't know what to do next.
Can you assist me?
Thanks,
Jack
Rod,
OK. I understand.
Thanks again for all your help.
Jack
Rod,
Thanks for the help.
I went back and read the REST of the readme file. I saw that I needed more files to upload. I went from 1.2 to 1.2.2 R3 with the correct files set and my site is back.
OK. Now I should have a 'standard' template option as well as a 'Pangolin' option for templates. Correct?
Then I can create new templates and then just change the assignment of an album or album-set, or Page to that new Pangolin template without re-publishing. Correct?
Also I can keep the standard templates if I wish, for as long as I want. Correct?
OK. Now when I go into Backlight, I only see the Pangolin option in the Page template for a new template pull down. I do not see it in the Album-Set or Album sections. In those I just see there standard selection in the pull down.
Is there something else I missed?
Thanks again.
Jack
I have not upgraded to the new Backlight/Pangolin 1.2.
I just did one of my sites per the instructions, from 1.0 to 1.2.2 R3 that was issued today.
Now I cannot get past the error screen.
Not sure what I did wrong or how to fix it.
Can you help?
Thanks,
Jack
Rod,
Thanks a bunch. I got it working the way I want to thanks to your help.
Jack
Hello,
I would like to add a "new" button (or buttons) to my main gallery page to link to new albums I have in my album sets. When I add new albums, I will add to or delete the current "new" buttons, as desired. Currently I use an album or album set to accomplish this task.
Prior to the Theater plugin enabling Breadcrumbs, a forum member, Daniel, helped me by writing a script to place a "back" button on the Theater screen. I am not a coding guy so this was a BIG help.
I have modified the code to allow me to send the link to the album/album set I want too, and it works fine.
The button however is a blue rectangle with white text. I would like to change the "look" of the button to a white background with a black border and black text, to better match the look of the album/album sets I have on my website. In the script I think I can change the 'white' to 'black' to get the text color change. However I do not know how to change the actual button color/size/etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The code is; <a href="../" class="button" style="color:white;">BACK</a>
And my website is; www.stuffbyjack.com
Thanks.
Jack
Matt,
That would be my last resort. The site has lot of album sets/albums and starting over is a tremendous amount of work.
I was hoping for a easier way. I would think it is a database problem, as Backlight and my site seem to be correct.
Thanks,
Jack
Hi,
I am converting one of my web sites to Backlight from CE4. The others I did are working fine.
I installed Backlight, set it up, etc. then migrated the CE4 album sets/albums to Backlight. All seemed to work OK.
One Album Set has 10 Album Sets under it.
In Lightroom I wanted to change the slug of the upper level album set using the edit album set menu. Lightroom gave me a message that it could not do that. Don't know why. I decided to create a new Album Set and move the 10 Album Sets one one at a time. The first album set I moved, Lightroom gave me a message that it could not move it. When I went to my site, that album set was missing. I checked my web site with FileZilla and it was there! Where Lightroom said it couldn't move it?
Then I looked in Backlight Top Level Gallery and the new upper level album set is there with the moved album set. Now on my web site I get BOTH upper level album sets as indicated in Top Level Gallery. In Lightroom it shows as it did when I migrated with no change, or change allowed.
My Lightroom edit screen will not work, and is "out of sync" with the Top Level Gallery in Backlight, and my actual web site.
Is there a way to get it to work, and get it back "in sync"?
The site is stuffbyjack.com/jackonly
Thanks,
Jack
Rod,
I lowered the breakout setting to the lowest. That works on the desktop and iPad, but not on iPhone.
When the 3 line menu goes away the masthead hyperlink stops working too.
Except for the iPhone.
Jack
Rod,
It was not. It was selected in the edit screen however. I re-saved it and it now it shows now. And goes to the gallery page now.
Thanks a bunch.
2 other quick things.
I selected the hyperlink in the masthead to be off. But It still hyperlinks to the home page.
Also how can I get rid of the 3 bar menu pull down in the upper left corner of the screen?
Thanks again.,
Jack
Hello,
I have my main site working fine. For some time now.
I have a smaller site. As a sub-domain on the main site. I transferred it from CE4 to Backlight today. I have some tweaks to make, but I have a problem that I can't get past, and never saw before. I migrated the CE4 over to Backlight and if I go to a specific album, works fine. I cannot get to the main gallery page. I get a red bordered error that says
"Something went wrong. The template could not be found for id 2 in GalleryDeegate.php on line 284."
Have no clue what to do.
The site is stuffbyjack.com/oneview/galleries
Thanks,
Jack
Rod,
Thanks.
I will do that next time I need to post an image.
Jack
Daniel,
A HUGE Thank You!!!!!!!!!!
It works.
Again I want to thank you for all your help with my mods. And once more I apologize for my lack of web coding knowledge.
I noticed that BenL in his post that he is going to use the Enter button code you developed. Nice.
And like him I owe you more than one beer.
Jack
Daniel,
I had a friend check the test web site and he is getting the same results as I do.
I have 2 screen shots that I will email, to you as I can't paste them in here.
First one is with Template set to show masthead location as "Main Column". As it is now. "Enter" button in bottom right corner and all works.
Second is with Template set to show masthead location as "Header". Its shows the white "Photos By Jack" text on top of the pictures at the top, but also has the button upper right, but still functional.
Thanks,
Jack
To clarify. I don't get any text on the home page with the full page slide show. Once I enter the site I get the nav banner on top with the hamburger icon and the text.
Jack
Daniel,
I am confused how that could be. My iMac (Safari and Chrome), MacBook (Safari), and IOS devices (iPad and iPhone) all do not show any text on top.
I have cleared out the history on some of those devices, but no change.
I don't know what to try next.
Thanks,
Jack
Any ideas.
