Of having a slideshow as your homepage which links to your galleries, and not just the gallery the slideshow comes from?

I want a nice clean homepage, simple header, slideshow, and when you click on the homepage, you go into a page with your galleries on it.

As my page stands (www.philip-smith.com), it looks pleasing (to me, anyway), but the slideshow links into the gallery from where the images originate. That misses any gallery structure. I don;t like having the galleries on the homepage, as it all starts getting too cluttered.

Anyone know a simple way of achieving this?

Try changing your slideshow code:

ClickToImage=true - change to false

and add clickUrl=/galleries

Not sure that your home page is set up correctly as /galleries also takes you to your home page.

Also the navbar buttons do not have any destination set in them as here:

<a href="#">About Me</a>

They should look more like

<a href="/other/10530821_p2vb9">About Me </a>

replacing the # with the path to your About Me page.

Not sure if you have used easy customiser or done the code yourself but you need to go back to your Header code and have a look at your links on your navbar buttons.

Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it, and with the help of you chaps I'm getting there.

I didn;t do the code myself, Paul. That would require me to know a thing or two :).

I'm just kind of hanging onto the shirttails of others to get around the problems.

I kind of understand how to get around HTML. But java script just defeats me.

All the best
