#51 Re: CE4 Gallery » Search not working » 2015-01-31 05:28:48
hmmmm... maybe not YAY!!!
Have added a keyword to each photo, 101, 102, 103, 104 and search cant find the photo!
I wonder if its because the search folder is in the root of the domain or its something i have setup incorrectly in the gallery before I exported?
Am pretty sure I added the keyword to the metadata in CE4 Gallery before I exported it. Might have to have a double check on that though.
I just want to be sure that the search folder i copied to the root of the domain is correct?
#52 Re: CE4 Gallery » Search not working » 2015-01-31 05:19:52
My search folder is /ttg-be/publisher/search
I made a copy of it, and moved it to the root of my domain. The search button is now working!
Thanks Rod.... awesome, now I am going to republish the gallery and test the fuctionality of it.
Many thanks for this.... much appreciated

Hi Rod,
The site is running fine, I deleted my gallery and then republished it with a slightly different name, so it was just as I was doing it that you saw no gallery showing! LOL
Yes I have those 3 files in the root of my domain.
Anything else I can check to ensure the search function works? I know Ben did something about permission on a folder, which I have checked and is correct, so am a bit stumped now as to what to try next.

Apologies.
I have actually searched for this to help me work out what has gone wrong with the Search option on the site.
I have uninstalled everything and started again from scratch, and have now finally got a HTML single image working and thumbnails working on galleries without duplicates etc.
However,.......... I thought I had this problem when I first started playing around with TTG, and my search option displays a URL that cant find the page.
Could someone give me a pointer please?
Thanks

Rod, Matthew,
The only thing I have overwritten if you can call it that, is the file indicated here:
http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … _templates
So I dont have to enter everything into CE4 Gallery as I originally did in CE4 Pages!
Pretty sure I have put the files in all the right places too, and the only indication that my FTP is going to overwrite something, is when FTP'ing all the files in the CE4 Pages folder to the root of my domain, so hence overwritting what was previously there from a previous creation.
Think I may just delete everything and start from scratch, what do you guys think?
#56 Re: CE4 Gallery » Slideshow? » 2015-01-28 05:10:22
Have rebuilt my pages and gallery and publisher and I still have this issue with a multitude of thumbnails for the image to a gallery.
Have looked at everything that I can think, but nothing to indicate the problem with which I am facing.
Is it css code that needs editing, if so, can someone point me in the right direction of the css file. Happy to edit if necessary, but want to ensure I havent made a boo boo somewhere, and dont want to be replicating that everytime I publish a gallery.
Thanks in advance for your help
#57 Re: CE4 Gallery » Slideshow? » 2015-01-26 07:10:04
Thank you Ben.
The HTML single image is now working. Appreciate your help with this.
However, the thumbnail problem is baffling. Have you seen this before?
http://1stphotos.co.uk/galleries.php
Basically, a duplicate/triplicate etc of the random image as set in the gallery/pages in lightroom that show up on the website as per the link above!
#58 Re: CE4 Gallery » Slideshow? » 2015-01-26 04:16:33
Rod,
I wasnt yelling.
Looks like I have no choice but to go back to the previous version, which I was hoping not to do, but hey ho...... lets see what happens.
Don't worry, I do read documentation, but its not always right, as pointed out earlier.
ps.... as mentioned, I DO appreciate your help, and I know forums are run by a majority of volunteers, did it myself for years.
#59 Re: CE4 Gallery » Slideshow? » 2015-01-26 03:40:20
Rod,
With all due respect, I do NOT want to use Highslide.
I made this clear right at the beginning. Its horrible and I will never use it. It fills the whole page, and people viewing this, will simply not be impressed with it and leave.
I NEED....... the HTML single image to WORK.
Sorry, but I have spent a lot of money on something that I still havent got working after a month of trying. This is NOT good enough, and I appreciate your help, I really do, but I need this working the way I want it to work and as its an option in the software, there should be no good reason for it not to work.
I look forward to hearing from Ben, You or anyone else with knowledge and/or a fix that actually makes my software work, the way its meant to work.
Sorry.... really frustrated as you can hopefully imagine.
#60 Re: CE4 Gallery » Slideshow? » 2015-01-26 03:13:59
I have chosen Random, as I have done since I bought this software.
This hasnt changed.
Although, I still need an answer also about the "blank page" and the fact its a bug. Is there a fix for this?
Perhaps both problems are related??
#61 Re: CE4 Gallery » Slideshow? » 2015-01-26 01:03:38
Here is my descriptive info
#62 Re: CE4 Gallery » Slideshow? » 2015-01-26 00:23:01
Where are am I to find the descriptive layout?
Have looked but cant find what you mean. Can you give me a sub heading to look under?
#63 Re: CE4 Gallery » Slideshow? » 2015-01-25 21:57:19
Rod and anyone else!
Ok, so I have uploaded the new CE4 Gallery, and added the new CE4 Publisher to lightroom.
Created a new CE4Pages
Created a new CE4 Gallery
Published 6 photos.
All seems well, I now have the HTML single image working, although, its odd, as I dont have just one image for the gallery album, but have 3 or 6 (of the same image) depending on the image shown by random. Only 1 of these images are actually clickable to get into the album to view the six photos.
On top of that, when viewing the 6 photos in hmtl single image view online, clicking on an image shows a blank screen.
My questions..........
1. Why does the album display more than one image for the Album
2. Why do i have a blank screen when clicking on an image inside the gallery?
Thanks in advance for your help.
#64 Re: CE4 Gallery » Slideshow? » 2015-01-21 02:54:36
Oh dear.
I am mightily confused now.
Are you suggesting that I dont actually need to use CE4 Gallery at all???????
So let me get this straight........
I can use CE4 Pages to "build" the structure and layout of my site.
I can then use CE4 Publisher to simply upload the images.
And thats all?
I also have another question that is bothering me.
I did what you suggested, and created a folder in my FTP to the ttg-be/templates/ location and called it bum.
I then used publisher to publish photos, but it goes straight into a location on my FTP to /galleries/
So, I thought, I would CUT the folder called bum in here - /galleries/bum/ and then put it into ttg-be/templates/ so it looked like this
ttg-be/templates/bum/
Of course, the website online doesnt show this album in my galleries page.
Now........ Lightroom, on CE4 Publisher shows at the top right hand corner, the location of where its going to publish this information, and you guessed it, it does exactly what it says on the tin, it publishes everything in /galleries/
HOWEVER........ here is the question........ HOW or WHERE do i change the settings for CE4 Publisher so it can publish directly to ttg-be/templates/ as suggested by Matthew?
I have looked and looked, but cant work out or see where I can change this.
I really apologise now, as Obviously, I am struggling to understand what is actually happening. I just need to get my head around how these pieces/modules, all work together. Initially I thought i was understanding it, but now, after being told by Matthew, to not upload to /galleries/
Even having read instructions and followed them, to be told this, that doesnt clearly state in the documents that I can see, I am now lost as to what to do.
Do i completely delete the whole lot and start again, or with your guidance, get this working!!!! (i dont want to delete everything, its taken me a heck of a long time to get this far)
Please help, and really sorry for what must seem like idiot questions, but I do really need your help guys.
#65 Re: CE4 Gallery » Slideshow? » 2015-01-20 04:54:53
Rod and anyone else that can help.......
I have chosen the following in CE4 Gallery:
Exported and FTP'd as per the instructions in the documentation:
Press the EXPORT button and save the gallery to your desktop. Then use your FTP client to upload the saved folder into your /galleries folder online, the one that was created by CE4 Pages.
So I uploaded to the following: - 1stphotos.co.uk/galleries/
Published the photos using Publisher and the gallery is still showing a Slideshow with full screen.
Apologies now in advance, but this is seriously pissing me off.
What the F^^^^^^^^^ is wrong with what I am doing?
I am finding this immensely frustrating that this software appears not to be working as per the instructions, or I have a serious problem with reading??????
Sorry..... I need this to work as per the settings I choose. Whats the point if all it does is whatever it wants to do. This gives me no choice at all!!
Really struggling as to what I can do to get it working. Its bizarre!!!
#66 Re: CE4 Gallery » Slideshow? » 2015-01-18 04:34:36
Strange thing Rod.
When i first started playing with CE4 Pages and CE4 Gallery, I remember that setting in particular.
However.... I can no longer find it anywhere in either CE4 Gallery or CE4 Pages web plugins for Lightroom.
Why is that? How would this disappear?????
#67 Re: CE4 Gallery » Slideshow? » 2015-01-18 04:19:23
Change my settings to what? To the above suggested? I thought I had already done that!!
Going to have to check now in case I am going mad! LOL
#68 Re: CE4 Gallery » Slideshow? » 2015-01-18 04:10:20
#69 Re: CE4 Gallery » Slideshow? » 2015-01-18 03:45:11
Yes, done that. Makes no difference. Do you do this in Pages or Gallery?
I think it was Gallery, but it was several hours ago i attempted it.

I hope I am in the right place here, apologies if not.
Could someone tell me where I can stop ANY of my galleries from showing full screen slideshows? I thought i had identifed it but has made no difference. I want to turn off the slideshow feature altogether.
Thanks
#71 Re: CE4 Publisher » Albums not working » 2015-01-15 04:55:32
Am with EUKhost
I already checked php version which is 3.6.27 (if i recall)
Suppose I better PM him with the details then 
#72 Re: CE4 Publisher » Albums not working » 2015-01-15 01:26:00
I have sent you a PM Rod
#73 Re: CE4 Pages » Confused! » 2015-01-14 02:27:13
Rod,
Yes I have done exactly that concerning CE4 Pages. Followed instructions EXACTLY.
ANDACAR..... as mentioned by Rod, I have done this already. This is the reason as to why I am confused concerning why its not working. I have followed ALL instructions correctly, am stuck!!
Rod. I will PM you a guest access shortly so you can take a look to see if you can help
#74 Re: CE4 Publisher » Albums not working » 2015-01-13 04:21:41
I mentioned above (number 4) about using the default album that is created in Publisher. Is this what you're using? If so, try creating another album but give it a name.
Rod....I must be an idiot or something!! I attempted to create a new album, which I did, published it, but on Lightroom at the top where it says Publish Now.... the link says http://1stphotos.co.uk/galleries/album/
But.... album is not on my FTP at all, I cant change this anywhere that I can see, its kinda making no sense at all this system.
I am on the verge of deleting the whole lot, and starting from scratch again, but before I do this, can someone give me a pointer?
I still have NO template selected on the TTG BE settings page, the template option is completely blank, despite the tooltip telling me what to do, which I have done, several times creating a gallery and uploading exactly where it suggests. I think this might be my sticking point, but have tried everything I can think of.
Anyone.... please.... give me some guidance why this isnt working as its supposed to work, despite me following instructions. Very frustrating to say the least.
#75 Re: CE4 Publisher » Albums not working » 2015-01-12 04:59:52
yes apologies, server is unwell and i have a technician taking a look at it now, seems to have stabilised though,
You are right, i do have a folder called gallery in that location, so it looks like this:
/ttg-be/templates/gallery/gallery
and inside the gallery folder is a list of files and other folders. Hence the reason as to my question. the URL is pointing to the right place but is displaying a fault:
Internal Server Error
