Hide cats/galleries for visitors on homepage

[Savone]

Ok lets see if I can get across what I am thinking here.

I want to be able to hide the categories and galleries on my homepage from visitors, but when I log in I want to be able to see them. Is this possible?

Thanks
Steve

We REALLY need your nickname.smugmug.com site please

So, it seems you have hidden your homepage stuff already, when I look at your site logged out.

I do the same thing, like this:

.loggedIn #homepage {display: block !important;}
.homepage #homepage { display: none;}

btw, this will remove your biobox photo when you are logged in...
.homepage #bioBox .photo {display: none;}

#galleriesBox {display:none;}
.loggedIn #galleriesBox {display:block;}

OR

#categoriesBox {display:none;}
.loggedIn #galleriesBox {display:block;}

It depends on how you have your page set up. If you want tailored advice I suggest you provide your smugmug address.

I put my smugmug address in my signature for that reason! :)

savone.smugmug.com or rifrazioni.com

Basically what I am trying to accomplish is two different views:

1) someone (anyone but me) sees nothing but the slideshow(which is the biobox), header and footer.

2) When I am logged in I see nothing but the galleries on the home page

is this possible?

Thanks guys!

rifrazioni does nothing for ME if I want to login to your account, that's why I always say nickname.smugmug.com, OK?

I tested, and gave you the code you need in my reply above. Try it.

Hope this helps,

Ahh HA! I appologize, changed the sig!

Will try the code now!
(Sheesh, I can tell your from NY)

Just kidding Andy, dont make me swim with the fishes! Thanks!

[Savone]

No good, Dont see anything when I am not logged in. And still see it when I am logged in.

[Savone]

OK I did this, what do you think?

#galleriesBox {display:none;}
.loggedIn #galleriesBox {display:block;}
#categoriesBox {display:none;}
.loggedIn #galleriesBox {display:block;}
#bioBox {display:block;}
.loggedIn #bioBox {display:none;}

Seems to have worked, did I wreck anything else in the meantime? I dont know.

.loggedIn #bioBox {display:none;}

If you are wanting to do this on your homepage only, you can put ".homepage" in front of it.

I dont' know about your code...but your signature is messed up (and really annoying).:bash Right now you only have part of the web address set as a hyperlink (which, of course doesn't bring up your set when clicked).

Could you please fix it so people don't have to cut and paste your site address into their address bar?

Thanks

ahhaa, Sorry bro, didnt mean to ruin you day.
All fixed now.

Anyway, I have found that even though it doesnt show the slideshow it keeps loading the images. Is there anyway to stop this so I dont kill my bandwidth in one day?

The SS images are cached, they won't kill your bandwidth...

[Savone]

The SS images are cached, they won't kill your bandwidth...

Ahh, yes, I noticed that after waiting for all the images to load. But they will load once every visit correct?

Yeah, that's the same issue I have. I can hide them, but they are hidden all the time. I only want them hidden when i am logged out.

Click hide in the upper right corner of the galeries box.

Answered the "home" question in another thread.

I added About Me by following Devbobo's advice for adding a Guest Book (very nice). Now I want to hide or remove the gallery I had to make for About Me on the homepage while keeping it in the link. How to do? thanks.

As long as you have a direct link in your navbar make the gallery private.

If you are wanting to do this on your homepage only, you can put ".homepage" in front of it.

Ivar- I'm new to coding and would also like to do this on my homepage only, but I'm not sure exactly where you're referring to... where exactly should I put the ".homepage" in front of?

Thanks!!

Hi there -

Thsi is all new to me, so I apologize in advance. I was able to create a slideshow and place it on my homepage, but now how do I remove that galleries from my homepage? I tried following the thread prior in reference to this very questiona dn got completly confused! In a perfect would, I'd like the homepage to consist of just the slideshow and navibar. Then when you click on galleries, you only see galleries and not a slide show. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

You will see all your galleries logged in, public or private, don't understand.:scratch

[lightspeed]

My first post on this thread, but I wanted to do exactly what was originally requested... For visitors to my home page, they should only see my banner, navbar and slide show. When I'm logged in I want to see all my categories. I don't really care if the slide show plays or not.

Right now my "logged out" view is fine, but when I'm logged in I don't see anything except my banner and my navbar and the footer. Here's the code I'm using... it was reccomended on this thread...:scratch

#galleriesBox {display:none;}
.loggedIn #galleriesBox {display:block;}
#categoriesBox {display:none;}
.loggedIn #galleriesBox {display:block;}
#bioBox {display:block;}
.loggedIn #bioBox {display:none;}

My site is:

Thanks in advance for any help. I sure would appreciate it. I'll check back in the morning. Gonna get some sleep.:thumb

The middle part of your CSS has a typo. Change it to:

#categoriesBox {display:none;}
.loggedIn #categoriesBox {display:block;}

After you do that, your categories show up.

Thanks so much... all is right in the world again!

I wonder if you could help me please.
My site is
http://roy-palmer-photography.smugmug.com/

I am trying to get my site to look like yours, which I really admire.

I have followed the tutorial through and got to the stage where I have the slideshow, I have a home and galleries page but I can't see the gallery on the gallery page. It is the same as the home. Even going and highlighting the gallery 'Homepage Layout' the gallery doesn't show.

I only have the skill to cut and past so following the syntax means nothing to me.
Please help.

Please help. Several things wrong:

1) Remove this from your bottom javascript. It doesn't belong there and is causing errors:

Now we have your 'normal' homepage which is accessible at XXXXX.smugmug.com and your 'duplicate' homepage which is accessible at XXXXX.smugmug.com/galleries

2) Make your galleries visible with the homepage layout button.

[gearboxphotos]

The middle part of your CSS has a typo. Change it to:

#categoriesBox {display:none;}
.loggedIn #categoriesBox {display:block;}

After you do that, your categories show up.

Thank you-thank you-thank you.. I have added several different codes and it just wouldn't work.. This post needs to be moved up to the first page.

Remove your nav and I don't see a way to your galleries. Might change this
line in your biobox slideshow code so clicking takes them to the galleries
page. Also add text at bottom of your bio info toe click the slide show to enter
galleries maybe.

clickToImage: 'true',

to this

clickUrl: '/galleries',

Change this CSS

.homepage #galleriesBox,
.homepage #categoriesBox,
.homepage #featuredBox {
display: none;
}

.galleries #bioBox {
display: none;
}

.galleries #galleriesBox,
.galleries #categoriesBox,
.galleries #featuredBox {
display: block;
}

to this

.homepage #customNav,
.homepage #ffBox,
.homepage #popularPhotos,
.homepage #keywordsBox,
.homepage #galleriesBox,
.homepage #categoriesBox,
.homepage #featuredBox {
display: none;
}

.galleries #bioBox {
display: none;
}

.galleries #customNav,
.galleries #ffBox,
.galleries #popularPhotos,
.galleries #keywordsBox,
.galleries #galleriesBox,
.galleries #categoriesBox,
.galleries #featuredBox {
display: block;
}

[margaritadesign]

Thanks! That worked great.

www.margaritadesign.com

Do you know how to separate the text in the bio box?
I would like the sentence "click the slideshow to enter the Art Store" to be a little clearer.

Add some breaks before it. Also if you like make it bold.

<br /><br />
<b>Click the slideshow to enter the Art Store<b/>

[margaritadesign]

Thanks again. If you have time, I have one more question. Do you know why there is a white dot on the left of the screen below the banner?

[margaritadesign]

Can you help me remove the navbar from the art store galleries, and sub galleries?

[Allen]

Can you help me remove the navbar from the art store galleries, and sub galleries?
Add this to your advanced site-wide customization.

.category_Art #customNavContainer {display: none;}

That big dot is coming from "easy customize" header. Might be something you type in there.

[margaritadesign]

Do you know how to hide the search field from the top of the page on the Art Store and main page (www.margaritadesign.com and www.margaritadesign.com/Art)? (or if you know how to make it search only for art on the art page, and everywhere on the other pages, that would really be cool.)

[Enitsugua]

So, it seems you have hidden your homepage stuff already, when I look at your site logged out.

I do the same thing, like this:

.loggedIn #homepage {display: block !important;}
.homepage #homepage { display: none;}

btw, this will remove your biobox photo when you are logged in...
.homepage #bioBox .photo {display: none;}

For now, I have a Bio box and a galleries/categories box on my home page. I wanted to hide the galleries/categories box from visitors and only show it when I am logged in. Bio box should always show (for now--will be replacing with a slide show in the next week or so). I ended up with this CSS that works, after hiding everything but the Bio box on the homepage:

.loggedIn #galleriesBox {display: block !important;}
.loggedIn #categoriesBox {display: block !important;}
.homepage #galleriesBox {display: none;}
.homepage #categoriesBox {display: none;}

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks.

Hi, I am trying to do the same thing as folks in this thread.

My site is visualac.smugmug.com.

Right now, I have my galleries "hidden" so they don't show up in visitor view, but I would like them to appear when I'm logged on.

I've tried a few of the codes/script on here but they don't seem to work.

Any help would be appreciated. :-D
