Customization question...

[Kevin CTMP]

hey everyone, i e-mailed smug mugs support to help answer a few questions i had...... and they replied that my customization questions were more "advanced" rather than general support....and that i should post a thread here to see if anyone can help me...so here it goes :)

1. for some reason when i click on my "potrait pricing" and "links" on the navbar, it takes me to my homepage instead, and i can't figure out where i wrote the code wrong.

2. i can't get the navbar to show up on the "contact information" and i already checked "no" under the "hide owner" option.

3. on my "wedding pricing" page, i don't like how it says "Gallery Pages: 1" at the top and bottom, its just extra clutter that i want out of there.

4. the worst one of all is my "contact information" link, i want to know how to get rid of the "smug mug" logo in the header, the "Gallery Pages: 1" at the top and bottom, and alllll those links in the footer.....it just looks cluttered and unprofessional and i want it to look more elegant, and once again...i already tried checking "no' under the "hid owner" option in the customization

anyone that would have any insight on any of this for me would be greatly appreciated

thanks!!

On the first one, can you post the exact link of the gallery you want to go to for your portrait pricing. You have a link of http://ctm-photography.smugmug.com/Portrait Pricing, but that isn't a valid gallery link. Gallery links all are of the form http://ctm-photography/gallery/xxxxx_yyy. For example, your wedding pricing link is http://ctm-photography.smugmug.com/gallery/6269174_FZxuy which is the correct form. So, for this one, you just need the correct link.

For the contact information, you also have to make sure the Appearance is set to "Custom", not "Smugmug".

You can remove the Gallery Pages: 1 with this CSS:

.gallery_6269174 .pageNav {display:none;}

I have to run. Maybe someone else can help you with #4 of I'll be back later today.

4. the worst one of all is my "contact information" link[/URL]

Look at #44 here...then we'll get that page all cleaned up:thumb

Some tips for your 'Wedding Pricing' page (IMHO):

#breadcrumb {visibility: hidden;}
.loggedIn #breadcrumb {visibility: visible;}
.gallery_6269174 .pageNav {display: none;}
.gallery_6269174 .play_slideshow {display: none;}
.gallery_6269174 .journal_entry {border: none;}
.gallery_6269174 .top_border {display: none;}

This is for your galleries page, it will make them 4 across, instead of down...

/*This code to make galleries line up across*/
.miniBox {width:122px; text-align:center; height:210px; margin:0 28px;}
.miniBox .photo {float:none; width:122px; height:auto; _height:1px;}
.miniBox .albumTitle {width:122px;}
.miniBox .description {width:122px;}
.miniBox .updated {width:122px;}

.loggedIn .miniBox {height:auto; min-height:300px;}
.loggedIn .miniBox .smbuttons {margin:0 auto; width:122px;}
.loggedIn .miniBox input {width:122px;}
.loggedIn .miniBox textarea {width:112px;}

.boxBottom .albumLarge {width:192px; height:350px; text-align:center; margin:0 24px;}
.albumLarge .photoLarge {float:none; width:192px; height:auto; _height:1px;}
.albumLarge .albumTitle {width:192px;}
.albumLarge .description {width:192px;}
.albumLarge .updated {width:192px;}

.loggedIn .boxBottom .albumLarge {height:auto; min-height:450px;}
.loggedIn .albumLarge .smbuttons {margin:0 auto; width:192px;}
.loggedIn .albumLarge input {width:192px;}
.loggedIn .albumLarge textarea {width:182px;}


Now for your contact page..

.gallery_6355124 .pageNav {display: none;}
.gallery_6355124 .play_slideshow {display: none;}
.gallery_6355124 .journal_entry {border: none;}

Your nav bar..Find those gallery links and put them between the""..you got 3 of them right..Home-Wedding Pricing-Contact

<div id="navcontainer">
<ul>
<li><a href="http://ctm-photography.smugmug.com">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="http://ctm-photography.smugmug.com/gallery/6269174_FZxuy">Wedding Pricing</a></li>
<li><a href="INSERT GALLERY LINK HERE">Wedding Portfolio</a></li>
<li><a href="INSERT GALLERY LINK HERE">Portrait Pricing</a></li>
<li><a href="INSERT GALLERY LINK HERE">Portrait Portfolio</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/6355124_KVpr4">Contact Information</a></li>
<li><a href="INSERT GALLERY LINK HERE">Links</a></li>
</ul>

Keep tweaking that site..a lot of cool things can be accomplished :devbobo

Might add this to your nav-bar code in your CSS..add the bold..see if you like, if not, there's a lot of cool things to do with that

#navcontainer ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
padding: .2em 1em;
color: #fff;
background-color: #080808;
border: 2px ridge #ccc;
}

Are you aware that your navbar is totally unusable to individuals who aren't logged in to your site?

Your navbar is unusable because you have this in your CSS:
#bioBox {margin-top: -75px;}
That places the bio box on top of your navbar. In IE7 the navbar isn't even visible. In Firefox it is visible but can't be clicked. I"d recommend removing that statement entirely.

You can control the vertical space taken up by the slideshow by changing the second number in this code that inserts the slideshow. The first number is width, and the second is the height.

SM.flash.insertSlideshow(550, 550, ssConfig, 'transparent');
