Thanks, Matt

Now I plan on cloning the pages and trying out different page layouts. When I come up with a different look that I like, I will adjust the menu sets so they point to the revised pages. The ease in which Backlight allows this type of development gives me the freedom to explore new possibilities.

I really appreciate the work you and Ben put into developing Backlight. The speed with which I can create and modify a page in Backlight is multiple times faster than working in CE4.

Fixed the problem. The Cart Settings, Cart Template was referencing the incorrect template.

I just edited my post, it is showing up after re-saving pages, but seems a little inconsistent. I will keep testing this. Now it seems to be working.

Still would like to get rid of the discount box.

Assuming I have added an item to the cart, I see the View Cart icon when I am on a gallery page plus for some reason on my Purchase page, but non of the other pages. Strange.

Any ideas what is going on?

In the mean time I have added a cart menu selection so that a customer can check their cart content no matter what page they are on.

Thanks so much, that was it. The cart seems to work, with all of my print types and sizes and proportions. I am happy there is no discount field.

I am trying to figure out what the delivery information field is?

I moved my entire Backlight test site to the root directory so it is no longer a test.

www.sweetlightgallery.com

Everything seems to be working. In the process of doing this I replaced the CE4 index.php file with the Backlight index.php file plus I renamed the following folders by appending their name -ce4: galleries-ce4, media-ce4, photos-ce4.

there were a few hiccups during the migration. Without going into the details of how it happened, at one point I deleted one of the galleries album "Winter" subfolder using my file manager. I realize this is a no no, but I had thought I had already removed it in LR, now not sure. I ended up recreating the same Winter album in LR Publisher. Then Backlight thought there were two of these galleries, one populated with folders and the other empty. I used the Top-level Galleries>Galleries>Albums settings in Backlight to delete the album (it was no longer in a LR album). I tested all the galleries out, including publishing to them from LR and everything seems to work.

Is there any other way of testing the integrity of Backlight published galleries before I move on to my next step?

My next step is to install cart and migrate the settings from CE4 cart.

I did something similar to what you suggested. The one tif file I could not publish had an xmp sidecar file. Non of the other files had xmp sidecar files. I deleted the xmp side car file. Still could not publish it. I opened it in Photoshop, added a curve layer, saved, and was able to successfully publish it.

I hope the xmp sidecar file was the issue and nothing else.

How can I order the thumbnail galleries on my main gallery page? I want the seasonal galleries to be in the correct order.

Thanks for your help.

Daniel, thanks for spotting these. I left the resize code the same, but changed the other two items you pointed out. Now it works and resizes to fit iPhones.

The resize code was used for the background texture, so it would change to flat colors at a smaller browser window. Matt in another post said that Backlight did not work well with texture on small displays.

Thanks for the code. This works to resize one size smaller (not counting full screen). The youtube window resizes to a single smaller size when I reduce the browser size window. It will not go any smaller.

Do you know of a reliable Chrome or Firefox extensions that will let me set my browser window to standard pixel dimensions. I want to be able to check and see how my website including the media area will look on tablets/mobile devices.

"You'll also need to delete any other pages you created with Pages, like contact.php, about.php, etc."

Can I delete these files along with all CE4 folders/files after making sure Backlight and cart are working after the move?

"In my test site, I migrated the Cart settings over without migrating any CE4 albums/ cart enabled pages first. I then was able to just create albums or pages that could use my CE4 pricing profiles."

I want to migrate the Cart settings over without migrating any CE4 albums, then in Lightroom I will enable the Backlight album cart function. I think I am just stating what you are saying, is that correct?
