Single Image on Home Page....

[zip022]

I find this whole thing daunting...however, I usually get it done.
I am trying to mix it up and there is so much info I can't find what I'm looking for...so sorry in advance.

I want one image on my home page, and the Gallery nav bar/button to point to all my galleries when you click on it. So far it's not, unless you are off the home page.
Hope my question makes sense. Thanks

Also, can someone point me to Footer help? Just a link is fine. There are hundreds of pages that come up when I search and I don't know where to go!

I have that, and thanks! But if I don't want the galleries below the single image, then how does a visitor navigate to the galleries. Am I clear? Surely I am having trouble making myself clear.

thanks

The CSS looks good, but I don't see the javascript that you need for this on your site. It's in the first "Galleries" section of the tutorial I referenced above - The Galleries Page 1 - and it needs to be placed in the Bottom Javascript.

One more time? Is this cool to be asking you for your help?
If you have the time take another look please, if not thank you for getting me this far. I'm going tomorrow to my local college and signing up to learn this stuff...it's amazing.

Yes, please keep asking for help!

Add this to your CSS to remove the single image from your galleries page:
.galleries #homepagePhotoVideo {
display: none;
}
What are you signing up for? I'm all for taking classes, but make sure it's what you need first. What you are doing here is using CSS to customize a website - as opposed to building a website from scratch.

A couple of things that really helped me when I was getting started...

the >>> CUSTOMIZATION: Start here <<< (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=52812) sticky in this forum is your friend.
Ivar's excellent document CSS (Customizing SmugMug Simplified) (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=54833) gives a lot of information on CSS and HTML with respect to customizing a smugmug site
If you don't already have it, grab a (free) copy of the Firefox Web Developer Extension - tutorial and link to the tool is at http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/1354921--- Denise

Thank you so much,
Ok, put everything I hope in the right place...still not working. If you are on the home page, no galleries show...thats good, but I want my public to click on the navbar for galleries and find them...
I will try to find and learn all about CSS...this stuff is amazing to me, just too frustrated without the knowledge.

Very interesting - works correctly from me in Firefox but not in IE8.

You have this in your CSS twice -
.galleries #homepagePhotoVideo {
display: none;
}
That's not the cause of the error, but the extra copy should be removed.

This is in your bottom Javascript, and it shouldn't be there. Remove it and place it in your custom footer:

<div id="valleyroadimages">valleyroadimages.com - All Images ©</div>I don't know if that will fix the IE8 problem, but hopefully...

Denise, my hero!
Had to walk away last night, get some rest. Thank you so much for your help and support. I'm going to be working more today, don't be surprised if I have more questions. I will follow some of your suggested links for learning as much as possible. Again, thanks so much.

I'm trying to use the simple homepage layout to put a single photo or video on my page, but when I click on the settings button, it says "Click the Galleries button above to get started."

But there is no galleries button above, or below for that matter, to click on.

Anyone know what is going on??

[HoofClix]

Ok, so here is what I get when I click on "settings" to try to use this feature:

Where is the "galleries" button that I am supposed to click on?

Does anyone have any idea, or perhaps is the idea to just contact SmugMug directly??

[HoofClix]

OK, this issue solved while also solving another problem with my "Contact the Pro" page..
