My Gallery morphed, not by me, help

Could someone please look at this. I know the title is Stella Maris, a church and all, but I have never seen anything like this before. A bright light as described by dying people.

could someone please look, tell me what it means, what I should do, where this post should actually be.

I am surprised and confused. Maybe I moved some photos, but I have still not seen something like this. I can live with it, but I would not want it to be catching.

ginger, that's a private page - i seen nothing but "Stella Maris star of the sea
No galleries found" you must have this as a private gallery?''

need some more info dear...

[ginger_55]

yes, I do. I will go over there and make it accessable, just for the sake of bright white lights appearing in my life, well, it has never happened before, not even in private pages.

Yup, it is now public, and I get the same light into my future non life, I guess. A great page for some religions maybe, but we are not heavily into drama in that manner, not that I know of.

If the problem you are talking about (and I'm still not sure I understand which problem you are describing) is that when you click on the "Stella Maris Star of the Sea" gallery you are taken to only a white page, then I know what's going on.

For some reason, you have a whole bunch of spaces in the name of that category. In fact the real name of the category has 7 spaces between the words "Maris" and "star". The spaces don't show in the name on your home page because HTML only shows one space, but apparently they are messing up smugmug's ability to go to that category.

I would guess that if you go into the control panel and rename that category to only have normal spacing in the name that things will start working again.

This one slipped by me this morning. What's going on? I'm reading something about white lights and mysterious stuff???

Here's what I think is going on:

If you go to their home page: http://gingersnap.smugmug.com (http://gingersnap.smugmug.com/Stella%20Maris%20%20%20%20%20%20star%20of%20the%20 sea) and find the category named Stella Maris star of the sea. Click on it to open it and you just get a fully white page.

I am guessing that the problem is that the category name has 6 spaces between the word "Maris" and the word "star" and it appears that smugmug doesn't handle that somehow. I've suggested that they change the category name to only have one space between each word.

In IE5.5 it works fine! I can navigate to the gallery without any problem.
But in FireFox i get the white page.....
And Netscape 6.2 crashes. (these are the browsers i have on my PC here at work).

Something else:
As soon as i hit the 'Edit CSS' button in the Web Developer Toolbar in Firefox, the white page is gone and everything looks fine.

I suspect this line from the generated HTML is to blame:
<body class="category_Stella Maris star of the sea">

Maybe the class category_Stella, Maris, star, of, the, or sea hides the whole page...?
This is a known bug in Smugmug. Spaces in (sub)gallery names are copied directly into a class-definition of the body and other elements. This can possibly screw up some CSS customizations (change the spaces to underscores may fix it?)

-- Anton.Big chance i may be somewhat right :D . The CSS file smugmugBlack.css defines this style:
.star {
width: 12px;
height: 12px;
display: inline;
margin-right: 2px;
/* IE PNG FIX */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader (enabled=true, sizingMethod=scale src='/img/buttons/star_black.png');
}
/* BACKGROUND FOR NON-IE */
.star[class] {
background: url(/img/buttons/star_black.png) no-repeat;
}

You are 100% right, nice work. Ginger, for the time being you will need to rename your gallery category and remove the word "star".

JT, I know the fix for this is slated to get submitted eventually right? :D

It seems to be fixed now.
See this post: http://www.dgrin.com/showpost.php?p=179845&postcount=4
And when i tried this URL in firefox, it showed up fine. A 'view page source' also revealed that all spaces have been replaced by underscores.
