Hello all
I have searched Dgrin and found some great stuff to customize my page, unfortunately, I can't get the changes to my footer and breadcrumbs to stay the same across each page.
In visitor view, they are fine for the homepage and category view, but when I go into the gallery the breadcrumbs returns and the footer reverts back to the full one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated - Thanks in advance

CSS
#my_banner {
display: none;
width: 750px;
height: 150px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(http://jeagle.smugmug.com/photos/441350623_t2eLY-O.jpg.jpg) no-repeat;
}
.homepage #my_banner {
display: block;
}
#feeds {
display:none;
}
#footer {
color:white;
}
/* turn off the cart link on the minifooter */
.cartlink_footer {
display: none;
}
#breadcrumb {visibility: hidden;}
#altViews {visibility: visible;}
.loggedIn #breadcrumb {visibility: visible;}


Custom Footer
<div></div>


Bottom Javascript
// fix the pesky pipes
YE.onAvailable("cobrand_footer", function() {this.innerHTML = this.innerHTML.replace(/\||what are feeds\?/gi, '');});


Thankyou

First of all, the only CSS in your site I see that has to do with the breadcrumb is this:

.homepage #breadcrumb {display: none;}

That is an explicit instruction to ONLY hide the breadcrumb on your homepage. It is doing exactly that.

I really hope you aren't planning on hiding the breadcrumb in your categories and galleries unless you are providing a complete alternate way to navigate your site because that's why the breadcrumb is there. Without it (or a suitable replacement), once you've viewed a number of images in a gallery, there is no way to return to the parent category to pick a different gallery to view and you are condemning your viewer to either a very inefficient viewing experience (forced to go back to the top of your gallery hierarchy everytime they want to go somewhere else) or you are discouraging them from viewing more than one gallery.

The footer looks the same to me on all the pages. Am I missing something? It's your copyright notice followed by the standard Smugmug mini-footer which you are not allowed to remove.

Thanks for replying John, I've learnt a lot in the last couple of days and seem to have it worked out.

Cheers
