Is there an solution on the topic "no cover thumbnail when album set is password protected?"

[Antoine]

To start - yes I found the solution rod_barbee suggested at the question posted under:

No Album-Set Cover when Album-Set is password protected

With custom css it should be possible. this will remove the icon from the cell, leaving the cell empty (leaves the title and description in their fields): .albums .no-thumbnail { display:none; } For text in place of the icon, you can use this custom css: .albums .fa-file-image::before { content: "Private set"; font-size: 36px; } [image] For an alternate icon, you’ll need to find one you like in the Font Awesome options Try using this code in your custom css: .albums .fa-file-imag…

At this time I am rebuilding my private site and updating from backlight 3.1.4 to 5.4.1 and there is this one item I am not whether it got lost when performing this update

As I remember it was possible under backlight 3 to pick a self created thumbnail and use it for a protected album set.

Yes I do use the “custom_thumbnails solution” Matthew posted a long time ago and it still works. I hope in a futured update it will be made possible also to pick a personal thumbnail for album sets.

If you want to see what I mean just take a look at: InPicture.de and go to galerien.

Site is still under construction - just uploaded some testpictures

You should be able to do that now from Backlight Publisher.
After you’ve published the set, navigate to Backlight > Publisher and click on the name of the Album Set.
In the Base Settings panel look for the Cover Image section and click on “upload custom”

Hi Rod,
yes, I do know that and I already tried it . I picked a custom cover image in the Base Settings panel.

and what I get when the album is protected looks like this:

So I put the following code into my custom.css

.albums .fa-file-image::before {
content: “Passwort geschützt”;
font-size: 44px; color: blue; text-shadow: 3px 3px yellow;
}

to get this solution:

As you can see, I quite well know howto adapt the cover image. What I wanted to point out is that it is “wishable” in coming updates maybe to create a solution so everybody can pick a personal cover image also for album sets.

Were there any updates to this?
Just upgraded from BL3 to BL6
Tried the custom image upload but still just get the “broken image small icon” rather than a thumbnail.
Thanks for any help, Kim.

Just found the “Protect Cover Images for Password-protected Albums” option in the main backlight settings!
