First I want to say how thrilled I am to be here, the past month I have scratched my head to the point of pain from left brain strain, but in the last 24 hours something just finally clicked and have pretty much got my site exactly how I envisioned it. The amount of info on this forum is amazing, everyone's so helpful and cooperative.

Last Few bugs I still need some help with-

#1. Slideshow in footer (i copied Andy's code:wink ) is very small. Images in placedholder gallery are originally 1-2mp.

While I'm at it, how should I resize images for my "final" version, I want to keep them all horizontal so as not to force any scrolling...yah, like Andy's...

#2. How do I hide all categories and galleries on my homepage so all you see is the header, navbar and slideshow? folks can get to them thru the nav and i'd like to keep it that way...

#3 On the "dummy" HTML pages I built (example (http://www.lynnehulbertphotography.smugmug.com/gallery/1994225)) how do I get rid of "THis gallery has no photos"

Thanks in advance as I know everyone will be shockingly nice & helpful...:)

Read in the pdf instructions, there is slideHeight and slideWidth paramaters you must set :D

the above should take care of that. And set your SS container to be that height, too.

#2. How do I hide all categories and galleries on my homepage so all you see is the header, navbar and slideshow? folks can get to them thru the nav and i'd like to keep it that way...
In your CSS:

.homepage {display: none;}
.loggedIn .homepage {display: block;}

#3 On the "dummy" HTML pages I built (example (http://www.lynnehulbertphotography.smugmug.com/gallery/1994225)) how do I get rid of "THis gallery has no photos"


In your CSS:

.nophotos {display: none;}

Can you point me to those? A friend did that a few weeks ago and i can't find the thread again.

In your CSS:

.homepage {display: none;}
.loggedIn .homepage {display: block;}


In your CSS:

.nophotos {display: none;}

When I enter these lines either together or separately, my entire site goes black?

I'm not quite sure where Andy was going with this, but instead try this:

.homepage #galleriesBox {display: none;}
.homepage #categoriesBox {display: none;}
.nophotos {display: none;}

Hope this helps!

ONE last question.....any way to make the slideshow ONLY on the homepage and not in the footer of every page?

Alsick 'em dev!

This doesn't stop the slideshow from running and can cause performance issues on your other pages. More here (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?p=370531).
