What is the code to make my slideshow larger on home page? I guess it is a number placed some where? thanks much!
It's in the instructions Andy posted. See: http://www.dgrin.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=12448&d=1146755789

slideHeight/slideWidth - optional
the dimensions of the slide, also the visible area of the photo
value = positive whole number. defaults to 300px wide x 200px tall
ex. slideHeight = "480";
slideWidth = "640";
photoHeight/photoWidth - optional
the dimensions of the photo. by making this size larger than the slide size, you are effectively showing a cropped area of the photo. The photo that is returned will be no larger than the smallest dimension given. so for example if you specify a width of 700px and a height of 500px, your image will be no taller than 500px. The width will be determined by the original photo dimensions.
value = positive whole number. defaults to slideHeight/slideWidth.
ex. photoHeight = "500";
photoWidth = "700";
You'll want to put these in your Footer section under the optional slideshow variables.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for responding with the helpful information. Now I need to know the code to remove galleries from my home page while allowing a visitor to click on the galleries in the nav bar.

Thanks for responding with the helpful information. Now I need to know the code to remove galleries from my home page while allowing a visitor to click on the galleries in the nav bar.There's not much to it. First create a category called galleries, then make sure all your galleries are in there (or you could put them into subcategories in the galleries category if you want). Then link to that category from your navbar. Then simply hide the galleries using the hide link in the upper right of the box on the home page when you're logged in.

[stephenbruno]

Thanks. When I doi this and then click on the galleries, nothing happends. I must be missing something in the code. If you tell me what codes that i have that I should post so you can see the errors I will post them. Thanks!

Will you walk me through step by step of what you did?

[sonny_c]

How do you remove or mask the grey color of the slide? And center the slideshow?

[stephenbruno]

I did so much it is hard to say. I was suggesting that I post all my codes like css and see if someone can find the errors.

First off, you should delete everything except for a single space or something in your bio. That or change how you implement your slideshow. All your biobox text is showing up for a split second and then is being replaced by the slideshow.

Second, I'm not sure you set it up right OR I'm not sure I understand fully what you're trying to accomplish. On your home page you've got it set to display the galleries and it seems to be that all your galleries are in multiple different categories. If you're trying to make it so you have a link to your galleries from your navbar, then your first step is to get all those galleries put into a single category. (You can still have subcategories in that category if you want to separate them down further btw.) Right now you do not have a category named "galleries" but you've got a link to that non-existant category on your navbar. That simply becomes a link to your homepage.

So first, create the category, second change all your galleries to be in this new category, third link to this category from your navbar.

Make sense? :ear

[stephenbruno]

I think I understand what you are saying. I'm not certain that I really know how to change all the hgal;leries into the main gallery that i need to creat. Additionally, I am uncertain how to then link this to the nabv bar since I have been trying to figure this whole thing out for months :dunno I do really appreciate your help Mike!!!

To change the galleries simply go to the gallery and look for the gallery tools dropdown link. Or from your homepage click on the customize button below each gallery. You can change the category that a gallery belongs to from the gallery customization page.

The link to the category is just like you've got it except you've got to make sure to match the case of the word is all.

[stephenbruno]

Thanks much again! I'll try it :):

[stephenbruno]

I can't figure out how to change each of my galleries so that they belong to the galleries category I just created.

Thanks much again! I'll try it :):

It's right in the gallery settings :deal

[stephenbruno]

I see that Mike but there does not seem to be a heading for galleries to select :dunno I'm sorry I just don't understand.

again thanks for your patience

again thanks for your patienceGo to your home page. Click on the first gallery that you see. Look for the dropdown menu box that says "<gallery tools>" and in that select the "customize gallery" option. Alternately you can also click on the "customize" button underneath the gallery thumbnail.

Once you do that you will be taken to the gallery customization options screen. That is where you can select the category and subcategory that the corresponding gallery belongs to. Do that for all your galleries.

Make sense? :ear

[stephenbruno]

I do this but there is no way I see to select the new gallery category to transfer the other galleries into?

Following your suggestion I can't locate the bio in my control panel. Must be hidden via a code or connected by code to my slide show.

[Mike Lane]

So are you saying that you are unable to get to any of your galleries? :ear

[stephenbruno]

I have the new galleries cateory. Title is Galleries. Category is Photography. Sub Category is Galleries. When I go to other galleries to make them sub categories of Galleries then Galleries does not appear. Also I did as you said in deleting bio and skipping a space or so but I notice bio box briefly appears? Thanks again much.

Okay I just looked on your site. Your Photography category (http://stephenbrunophotography.smugmug.com/Photography) only has galleries inside it. My gut feeling is that you set up a gallery named galleries (which is indeed a gallery in your photography category) and are finding that the word galleries isn't showing up in the subcategory dropdown.

First off, there's no need (I don't think) to have a subcategory named galleries in your category Photography. Your first step should be to simply move all of your galleries into the Photography category. After you do that we can work on setting up a sub-category for that category.

How do I move all my galleries into photography gallery?
