Problems using Backlight 4.1 as replacement for CE4 Gallery 6.1.10

Backlight 4, 5 & 6 Support
#21

Hi Rod:

I have checked that every Template is set to my dark themed template, yet still the page opened after clicking on the search magnifying glass is displayed with a white background. This is a quibble. I can live with it.

The restriction of not allowing “.” (period) in folder names is slightly more annoying, but I have found a workaround that I can live with.

One last problem I found: My backlight site contains only one album set right now. Inside that album set are several albums, each containing more than one photo. The cover photo for the album set is supposed to be a random photo, presumably taken from one of the albums in the set. But, what shows on the album set is a blank/empty image icon. Shouldn’t one of the photos from within the album set be displayed on the icon of that album set?

I may continue to tweak settings in the templates, but I’ve got something now that is acceptable.

Thank you (and Daniel and Matthew) for helping me through this workflow transition from CE4 Gallery to Backlight.

I thought you were referring to the actual search page, not the quick search. I don’t think you can change the styling for that page.
One option is to disable the quick search icon and just use the built in search page, just add a link to it in your navigation menu.

Album sets cannot pull directly from albums at random.

Hey @rod_barbee, certainly you can with some custom CSS. BTW, this is not a page but just a modal. You can see it working on my site danielleu.com.

Here is some example css:

.fb-search #search {
    background-color: black;
}

.fb-search #search input[type=text] {
    background-color: lightgray;
}

.fb-search button {
    background: darkgray;
    color: black;
}
