You can make the Gallery Help button in your Backlight Client Response albums “stick” to the top of the gallery by adding it to the top-pallet widget container. This way, when your client scrolls down the page the Gallery Help button will always be available. First of all, be sure to enable the Gallery Help […]
UPDATE: Backlight 4 now has a setting to remove all of the social sharing icons. However, if you don’t want them all removed you’ll still need to use the custom css solution. If you choose the “slideshow” presentation for your Backlight albums, you’ll see a “picture” icon in the upper right-hand area of the large […]
Note: the pop-up box below was initially used in Pangolin-based pages. It also works in Kookaburra-based pages. There is updated code however, introduced in Kookaburra. That code can be found in the Kookaburra documentation here. The newer code also works in Pangolin-based pages. Backlight popup boxes are useful critters. Your visitor clicks on a […]

In the past I’ve seen a number of queries in the forum about how to have text both above and below the thumbnails in an album. This is actually pretty easy to accomplish using jQuery. First you add a bit of […]
There have been several questions in the forum about the best way to go about converting a CE4 site to Backlight. So instead of answering that multiple times, I give you this: Scenario: you’ve got an existing TTG CE4 site and your albums are Publisher managed. (For a TTG site not using Publisher, see this […]
The TTG CE4 series of Lightroom plug-ins had an option to preview the typography settings right in the plug-in. That was handy for checking out fonts, form buttons, table shading, lists, etc. But Backlight has no such option other than to create a page, make changes, and look at the page. So, at the prompting […]
It’s pretty easy to add an image search form to any Backlight page or even a WordPress widget, allowing your viewers to access an image search feature form from any page you choose rather than needing to click on the “Search” link in the navigation menu. Just add the html below to the page copy […]
