Community @ The Turning Gate

Hi Rod,
I've checked the test directory permissions against the live. They look the same unless my eyes are getting tired.
Question - When one copies down the test site to the local machine in order to FTP it back up to the root does one have to clear out the album sets and album structure in Publisher first as all the database records will be pointing at the test location?
Then one has to re-publish the sets and albums again. That somehow does not feel right as  a fair bit of time is spent in getting the pages to look right with the the right text /content in test.

@Ben, the remote login credentials are still the same

Hi Rod,
My process is the same as you have outlined. I wanted to keep the useful /test domain for further testing etc. When I try and save Company and Site URLs I get this message.

Something went wrong

Update query failed with error: SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 8 attempt to write a readonly database sql: 'UPDATE `settings` SET `key`=\'COMPANY_URL\', `value`=\'http://tomowens.openpoint.co.uk\', `modified`=\'2016-06-12 14:00:16\' WHERE `key`=\'COMPANY_URL\'' params: array ( ) in PdoExtended.php on line 552

Just tried that Rod. Makes no difference. The Album Sets display OK . It is just the Albums not displaying in Photoswipe mode.
I created a template 102 Album, made no changes other than check that Photoswipe was still the default option for Large Image Presentation. I have republished the Album several times as well as clearing the cache.

I have the same problem. All single images now. Got several prompts to update in Admin which I allowed as per readme.txt. Interstly, when Photoswipe is showing in the combo, both Photoswipe and HTML single option areas are on display but if Single image pages is selected only the HTML single image options are available to set parameters against.

Thanks Matthew,
I put the code in the ttg_footer in my test yesterday. Is it better practice to go in the head? As you say this outfit looks legit and it works OK.

Thanks Matthew,
Will try out these sliders in more testing.

I got this to work OK in CE4 but this is now a basic requirement here in Europe (even if the referendum
goes the wrong way). It seems like a basic option to turn on or off especially as every large web presence has to declare the use of data collection cookies when one uses their sites. Wordpress offer a default plugin for their .wordpress domains now as standard. I have yet to work out what to do with BL in this context.

Thanks Rod,
I'll check that out and the top level where the album sets sit as they all display incorrectly from full screen until I narrow the browser window.

Hi Lofty,
I had a problem with some funny nested menu issues that required me to delete rows from the database as orphans had been left behind after deleting via Publisher. I've not recreated the problem as I have been busy preparing for an exhibition. Deleting the orphans cleared the menu issue or at least cleared the redundant Galleries choices from the menu-set combo.
Ben advised me what to do with the access to the database.

TomO
