Should I create one? do I need it? (I do not plan deep hierarchical structure, only albums on top-level.
And If I create one, (if necessary)… should I consider something before syncing from Lightroom to place the album?
Thank you for any advice.
I suspect that the templates aren’t appearing because they’re using the Okapi web modules. These need the standard web modules installed.
You can do this by visiting Backlight > Backlight Modules and installing the Okapi web modules from there.
Okapi has been deprecated and replaced with Pangolin. I suggest that once you fix this you look into creating and assigning new templates using Pangolin.
Hi Ben,
No, I only used Pangolin, from the beginning on.
Do I need a standard-Album Set Template? as I do not plan deep hierarchical structure, only albums on top-level.
And If I create one, (if necessary)… should I consider something before syncing from Lightroom to place the album?
I try to get an overview and understanding of the task using one complete BL3-Website to start a new similar one.
Create an album set template. The Galleries page is actually an album set so you definitely need the template.
You can assign your new template to the Galleries page in Backlight by going to Publisher. Click on Galleries and Edit top-level gallery then Base settings, You can assign the template there.
Thanks, I did as you advised.
I am still struggling… now from the other end… trying to fix upload from LR.
I already opened TTG Publisher Settings but got stuck in authentication.
I tried to contra-check the api in BL Settings… but I cannot edit. As for security reasons the api is not readable, I have problems in checking if this might be the problem for my error.
First make sure that the Site URL in Backlight Settings matches the first part of your API url
If you’re using www in your site url, make sure that the API url does too.
You can make sure that the API keys match by just creating a new one in Backlight and paste the same thing into Lightroom Publisher
Ok… I managed to overcome this… I had to switch on advanced settings, switch on quick settings at startup, logout and relogin and then I found my api in the quicksettings.
There is another TTG Publisher working with a BL1 site, so I dont think that systems`s temporary directory is good for the other but bad for this one.
Plugin Version: 5.0.2
The current version of the Lightroom pluginis 5.2.1
The first thing to try is downloading and installing the latest version. You can get it from your Backlight Modules page
I also updated “album files”. The result was telling me I have 2 Top-level gallery directories… so I thought, it might be better to delete the superflu one… but could not find were… could this be part of the problem?
2004 x 3608 px but this size went without problem in anothers TTG Publishers album to an old Backlight1 site just now
And because the connection doesnt work I cannot delete the albums and so I cannot delete top-level-gallery… but I found the place where it should be done.
Are you trying to delete them from Backlight or from the Lightroom Publisher?
If they don’t delete from Lightroom correctly, you should still be able to delete from within Backlight
Yes Rod, they are lying on the same server next to each other.
Difference is only BL1 and BL3 as I can see.
I did not try to delete albums from the BL-Backend… also because I didn`t believe that this is important to solve the problem… but I will do that now.
Ok… maybe the errors can help clearing up?
I cannot delete albums,
not the top-level-gallery “styles” ,
nor the contained albums.
The new top-level-gallery “artwork” does not give errors nor does the contained album)
