Probably an easy one....

I've finally gotten my site looking like I want it to, thanks to help from the forum. One question though - I want to create a link in my navbar to a "Client Login" area. When they click on the navbar link, I would like to have a list of galleries to appear that are password protected, so only they can view.

Right now I have 2 client galleries - but they are showing up the Galleries navbar link is clicked (which is where I have all my other photos). I only want them to show in the Client area, not the main Galleries page.

How do I go about doing this? I'm assuming custom categories/subcategories...

Hi :)

You could make a new subcategory called "clients" or something, and place your protected galleries inside of that. Make them private in addition to protected. Then you could link to the subcategory "clients" in your nav bar. Private galleries will not show up with the other galleries but with a direct link, your clients could still see them. Right at this moment, that's all I can think of.

After testing this myself, it doesn't work. You can link to the subcategory, but if the galleries are private, they do not show. My mind is not too sharp this evening, so I'm going to have to put my thinking cap on. I know there will be something that can be done. Sorry for the bad info!

An idea. Make a subcategory called Clients. Put all of your protected galleries in that subcategory. Then link to that subcategory. The subcategory will show with your others, but all the galleries will be inside of that. Makes for a tidier look. I'm tying!

You're on the right track barb. Except instead of making them private, make them password protected instead :thumb

Yeah, I thought it through and I think that's what I said the last time ... working on only about 5 hours sleep in the past two nights. I should quit while I'm ahead :rofl

Thanks for the tips. I actually created a new category name Client, then just linked to it. Seems to work ok... one last question about it though - How do I remove the words "client galleries" from the page?

When I click on the Galleries link in the navbar there is no title displayed on the gallery page... but there is a title on the Client area.

I already added the following to the CSS - shouldn't it apply to all the pages?

.category_Galleries #galleryTitle {display: none;}

Hi,

Replace this:

.category_Galleries #galleryTitle {display: none;}

With this:

.category #galleryTitle {display: none;}
