so you don't like the borders, eh?

[{JT}]

Here is how you can turn them off site wide; copy and paste the code below in your CSS section of customization.

This will turn the horizontals off:

.top_border, .bottom_border {
border: 0px;
}


This will get rid of the vertical lines in elegant:

.rightColumn {
border: 0px;
}


Also, to remove the keywords per gallery:

#toggleKeywords {
display: none;
}

AWESOME! I was wondering about starting to get all of this done.:): All you SM people rock and the new upgrade looks smooth;)

100% improvement, imo. :thumb

Now if I could just turn the green to blue, I would be in heaven. :lust

These are the lines you are after, change the numerbs to suit yourself.

.title {color:#A1A5A9}
.imgBorderOn {border: solid 1px #999999;}
.imgBorder {border: solid 1px #ffffff;}

Now if I could just turn the green to blue, I would be in heaven. :lustthat's actually pretty darn easy...

in the stylesheet html, just put in this:

.title {
color: lime green;
}

and just change lime green to whatever you want. keep typing in colors till you get one you like. Done!

Thanks James and Erik. I am brand new to CSS and HTML (as of today, basically!), so sorry if I'm being a bit thick.

This is pretty cool stuff. I just might have to learn this!

vince - take my advice - don't learn it, just copy and paste the stuff and make the simple changes (e.g. colors etc) to further customize :D i've gotten so much help from mike, james, and many other dgrinners - right here and of course by "view>source>

i'm not a programmer and don't want to be one - that's another reason i love smugmug :thumb

Gosh, it's times like these I'm soooo glad I don't have any of those pesky things called customers yet! Hehe how ironic.

'Aight JT, here goes:

How do we change the image borders and text color for our FRONT page?

How do I reign in the width of my site, or at least add a border to the left? The front page is nice and centered but my galleries go smack right up to the edges, I really like how Andy's got a nice 25 pixel or so border going on...

What are the CSS bits to hide all that "original size: ....other sizes: ..." nonsense, but keep the "camera:" info?

Can I change the color of the white text currently on my site? (the upper levels (that are links) in the breadcrumb)

Thanks,

-Matt-

james :D i gotta tellya - you *don't* have to learn much of anything! the help pages, this forum, help@smugmug.com, and the smugmug support staff really do most everything one would need - and truly - if i, someone who doesn't know any html can do my site www.moonriverphotography.com then really anyone can :D

if i can help you, just holler - my point here is you don't have to go it alone, there are tons of folks in this community willing to help you!

if i can help you, just holler - my point here is you don't have to go it alone, there are tons of folks in this community willing to help you! Andy? anybody? I know you guys are online lol... I really would like to know how to change the standard grey links & image borders that are on my main page, and I'd really like to discover Andy's trick to restricting gallery width. I've been "viewing source", but to no avail...

-Matt-

[edit]
Scratch that, I bet Andy's just using "smugmug small".... Hmmmm... The problem is now that "smugmug small" is available when I leave it user defined, but it doesn't seem to be an option when I force a style...

[edit 2]
Dang, where did all those knowledgable people go? I must have logged on at the tail end of all the excitement, oh well...

I figured out how to adjust the top and left (and I'm assuming the right and bottom in a similar manner) borders for the WHOLE of smugmug, I found it in Mike Lane's <style> collection:

body {margin-top:4px;
margin-left:10px;}

Like I said, I bet if you changed the "left" to "right", you'll get similar results. I think I'll have to compose a collection of CSS tricks and what they do, somewhere...

I still am trying to figure out how to alter the main page's text colors, but I assume it should be fairly easy to blunder into...

Just answer me this, why cant you implement all these great new changes with 1 emailed set of instuctions on what youve created and how we (your source of revenue) can add them if and when we decide to, rather then forcing us to devote time we maybe dont have right now to re-set our galleries to our desired settings ?
then maybe you wont have keep answering our q's!?!
seeing 100s of posts in the forums is not condusive to a friendly acceptance of cool new stuff! and how to correct it if desired.....
whats really going on up there?

[kkidfall]

Andy,

I've been meaning to ask you... How were you able to get your gallaries bage (now showing) into the shape you did without the main gray block and then getting everything lined up to the one side?:dunno

Thanks,
Chris

EDIT: I just was looking at your google earth stuff (don't you love that program!) and man I can't believe how much you have done with that! It's SO cool. But i think theres a glitch with the google earth program or with the coding because when i bring up google earth and you click on one of the location it just brings a gray box up where the photo should be. Also are you using a gps location or just that used to nyc?

[VMac]

Okay, copying code is very cool for someone who doesn't know code. It was very easy to remove the highlight border, and even to change the lime green color to blue. BUT, is there any reason that color change would not take affect for other people viewing my galleries? Right now, my highlight color is blue, but when I check my galleries from my laptop and not logged in as me, they are still green. Odd.

Thanks,
Vance

I agree that a clear concise page of illustrated instructions would go a long way to making it easier for us to make changes to suit us, ratherthan having to trawl through dgrin support pages (or constantly email smugmug) taking up valuable time & resources on both sides. Maybe you are working on it - please let us know if that is the case.

As a side note the drop down box for <photo tools> doesn't display the full width of the text correctly

[Andy]

Andy? (snip)..

:wave hiya matt - i'm just a humble dgrin shadkhonim - but the "boyzzz" have been getting a well deserved night's sleep - i'm sure one of them will be on soon to help.

thanks

:wave hiya rich - thanks for writing, and for the excellent suggestion. i'm advising the smugmug staff to organize the tips, tricks, etc into a more accessible format - standby, ok?

also i'll challenge your word "correct" imo the q's being asked are how to do further customization, not correction :D

Andy,

I've been meaning to ask you... How were you able to get your gallaries bage (now showing) into the shape you did without the main gray block and then getting everything lined up to the one side?:dunno

:wave hiya kkid :D

it's really simple - just set up a "custom category" (i made one "now showing") and then tag the galleries you want to be in that category. the left align, i believe, is a default ... actually i would like to know how i can make those galleries appear centered in columns of 2 wide by x deep ......

if any of you techies know how, please let me konw - is it possible? here's the custom category link on my site (V)

thanks to all, and kkid, i hope my answer helps you....


ps: on the google earth stuff - you should see pics show up (teeny thumbs on the map) when you use the fat client by clicking on the google earth feed button at the bottom of my page (which will launch google earth on your pc) or the thin client (maps.google.com linked by the "map this" button on my gallery page, served up by smugmug).... they could take some time to load, depending on your connection, etc..

try clearing your cache on your laptop. logout both machines. is there a browser difference we should know about? :ear

Thanks Andy. You must be exasperated by NOW?!? :)

Actually, this is a bit peskier than I thought. Every time I go in and change those settings in my CSS field (just changing the lime green, and getting rid of dashed lines and keywords), it works for a bit. But then reverts back to the original. If I go back to the CSS field, all the code is still there. Once in a while, there will be a new character (like a semi-colon). But usually, all the code is correct. If I re-copy the code, all is well again. For a few/several minutes.

BTW, I'm using firefox.

andy,
thanks for the response ,and will be standing by.
re: challenge , i see your point and agree
(my comment was a little self centered)
lets work together to make the best site in cyberspace even better , and more efficent for all..
my schedule wont allow me to try to tweak my site for about a week,
however i must ask this : is possible to set all my galleries" slideshow duration" to 1 or 2 seconds rather than (the seemingly default time of) 5 sec.?
thanks,
rich56k

[arthill]

The style below doesn't seem to work. The vertical dashed line came back. Horizontal dashed lines are still gone. What's changed.

This will get rid of the vertical lines in elegant:


Code:
.rightColumn { border: 0px;}

[arthill]

Never mind. I found it. This is the culprit

#elegant .rightColumn {
display: inline;
float: left;
width: 603px;
padding-left: 10px;
border-left: dashed 1px #404040;
}



The style below doesn't seem to work. The vertical dashed line came back. Horizontal dashed lines are still gone. What's changed.

.rightColumn { border: 0px;}

How do we change the image borders and text color for our FRONT page?I am also interested in learning how to change the image border colors on my front (home) page. This smugmug site seems to have the solution, but i can't figure it out from viewing the source.

I sort of like the lime green so how would I make the rest of my site (main page, categoreis, etc.,) look like the new gallery pages?

[VMac]

I thought I had the simple codes (at beginning of this thread) working just fine. But I just discoverd that some of my galleries retain the lime green and dashed lines. Any ideas why? Seems totally random and arbitrary. Most galleries have the new look (blue and no lines). Very odd.

Anyone else experiencing this? Galleries in certain of my subcategories are not accepting the change. And I just noticed that those same galleries seem to be not accepting the google mapping feature (I set the location fine, and submit it, but it does not show up afterwards -- other galleries, it works fine). Odd...

Seems totally random and arbitrary. Most galleries have the new look (blue and no lines). Very odd.i had this very problem with a couple of galleries - i finally fixed it by going to "customize gallery" for the misbehaving galleries and clicking the "custom" radio button for Appearance and updating.

i think the cause of the problem was related to them being part of a community (i always get confused about the additional row of Appearance options under communities... )

I tired that too, but then I lost all the keywords when I try to use keywords, I want a way to take it off the gallery page but still be able to use the keyword feature.
