A Smaller Footprint...

[PixelPie]

Hi all. I've been following along now for eons and have managed to make a site (with some customizing help from David; thanks!) and I have made a few tweaks here and there but now I'm stuck.

How do you make a smaller Smugmug Footer by removing the text 'Available Feeds', leaving only the icon, and placing it inline with the rest of the 'Powered by Smugmug'? Similar to Andy's actual site (not the demo).

Also, I am having issues removing the Breadcrumb from my Visitors. I either lose it altogether (Logged In, or Out), or I lose the 'Tools' button. :cry

I'm not Code Savvy by no means, but I'm learning.

Hey Heather!

I'd be happy to deal with these issues for you.

I'll give you the easy stuff to add.. To fix the breadcrumb issue, add THIS to the END of your CSS screen:

.loggedIn #breadcrumb {display: block;}

Then, YOU will *always* see the breadcrumbs (and hence the tool bar too).

The RSS icon.. Add this:

img.feedStandard {
position: relative;
left: 150px;
top: -30px;
}
#feedHelp a.nav {
display: none;
}

That should do it..

lol, I didn't want to bug you again with my pestering questions, lol.

The RSS feed fix: Icon is inline but is now overlapping the text. And there is a remaining 'underline' from where the RSS text used to be.

And the breadcrumb fix: didn't work. :scratch

Okay, so the overlapping was an easy fix, lol. But the 'underline' I can't seem to get rid of.

I fixed it all up for you. You had lots of errors in that music player code. I also got rid of the "|" in the footer.

But, please.. For the love of god.. please remove the music.. Or at least, make it so it doesn't start playing until *I* tell it to... <sigh>

I soooooooooo knew you were going to give me crap on that one. I tried sneeking it by you, but no such luck. lol.

You can turn it 'off' pretty easy, or you can skip it all together and head straight for the galleries!

Isn't that a good compromise?? :wink

What can I say? I like it. haha.

Thank you, thank you, thank you as always. You rock!

Good compromise == no music :P You really do alienate people with music on your site. Seriously.. I had to shut off my speakers to deal with your site. If I didn't *have* to be there, I would have found another site to go to.

Compromise= a settlement of differences by mutual concessions (meaning you give in first :p )

When I deal with my site, I shut the speakers off too, hahaha! But when I'm not, I still like it. :D

I'm a stubborn Canuck Dr. Dave, and I'm afraid there's no cure.

Perhaps there's a volume code? (and don't you dare say 'mute'!)

[DrDavid]

volume_level=20.. I think the version of the player you're using is a bit messed up as it's not taking the command...

Anyways, I've fixed it all up for you. Have a nice night.

And.. Please.. how about the player is there, and it defaults to NOT playing music.. How's that one!?

hmmmm, I'll have to think about it....

I don't doubt I've probably have a few errors. ~sigh~ 'tis the joy of learning greek.

Thanks for the help as always. Cheers.
