How do I move the nav bar down a bit and make the text larger. I've been trying to find this but have been unsuccessful. Any help would be appreciated!
Change this item in your CSS.

#navcontainer {
margin: 20px auto 50px; /* top right/left bottom */
}

Add the font size to this.

#navcontainer ul li a {
text-decoration: ;
padding: .7em 1em;
color: #D1B202;
background-color: #000;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 120%;
}

Hi-I'm new to dgrin. I have been trying to customize my smugmug homepage to say my new company name and then have some tabs - Home, About Me, Tips and Info. and then have a running slideshow in the middle of the screen. It doesn't seem like that many parts but it's now been 4 weeks and with endless (I mean endless ) emails back and forth to smugmug, I am no where near completing any part of it. Smugmug keeps directing me here to dgrin so here it goes. I'm not sure if I'm posting this is in the right place but hopefully someone can take heart and help me.

The tutorial on smugmug for a header says to make one elsewhere. Where? I'm clueless. Help!!

Allen,
Thank you for the reply. I didn't know you replied as it wasn't in my inbox and I didn't see it after my thread? ANyway, yes I have read the tutorial. I have my logo saved as a pdf. I have PS but I'm not sure about how to import it into PS and do the whole layer thing. Can I use what I have or do I have to re-create it in PS. The problem is, it was created in PrintShop because I have the Montague font there. When I go to bring it up in PS, it's this tiny text on a huge white page and then I can't select the logo. I figure the logo/banner is my first step. Thanks again for your help.

Is there a way or a code that you can use to make a new window open up when clicked.

I have my blog as a tab on my navbar and I dont want people to be navigated away from my page but instead have the blog open up in a new window.

Is that possible?

Change this item in your CSS.

#navcontainer {

#navcontainer ul li a {

Hi Allen,
Yes, I'm going to give the tutorials a shot just as soon as I get my logo figured out. I created it in PrintShop using Montague font. Now I cannot re-create it in PS because I don't have that font. Is there a way to purchase fonts that you know of? My main priority is to get this logo done. Would you be willing to take a look at it if I sent you it? I'm not sure how to do attachments in dgrin but I tried using the attachements button below. Let me know your thoughts.

THanks a bunch,
Tanya

You are calling for the original in the CSS which is 750x750, very large.
This works, I changed the size to S, 300x300.

#my_banner {display: none;
position: relative;
left: -210px;
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(http://isabellarae.smugmug.com/photos/317229059_yvP6f-S.jpg) no-repeat;
}

You also need a space between .homepage and #my_banner.

.homepage #my_banner {
display: block;
}

I would also crop out the extra white space top and bottom. Then a larger
size used.

Hi Allen,
Thanks- I got it working. Do you have any idea how to just have the font without the white background? When I imported my logo from PrintShop into Photoshop, this is what I got. Does PS have an ungroup command?

THanks,

Remove the <center> tags from around the header nav html, it's not
needed. You are missing an opening comment tag in your CSS and that's
keeping it from centering.

Add the red /*

.loggedIn .albumLarge textarea {width:182px;}

/* ------------------------------------------------------------*/

/*==================== NAVBAR ==============================*/

Hi Allen,
So I fianlly got my PS questions figured out and did the transparent banner thing. I'm just not sure if what I'm looking for is a header or a banner. Anyway, I put it in as a banner but do you know how I stretch it out and center it on the top of the page. I don't know anything about spacing it and right now it's middle very top and half cut off.

THanks,
Tanya

#my_banner {

It will go just below the my_banner div in your header code box.

<div id="my_banner"> </div>
<div id="navcontainer">
...
rest of the nav html
...

Think of the div as a container/box on your page. The html defines the content
and the added CSS will format it and position it.

I think you're going to have to put in CSS display:none for all menus. Then
add display:block; for each different menu everywhere you want it.

#navcontainer3,

All the divs you add to your html will show on every page including all your
navs. I noticed if you first add a display; none; for all they don't show any
where. Now if you add for each page a nav# display: block; this doesn't
include the password enter page.

Now to the real world.:D I have multiple navs and only the main one shows
until a page is entered calling for a different one. So I think the main
problem you have is the order in your CSS that calls for none or block.
I had a very difficult problem with this, getting the order correct so only the
correct ones would show on certain pages.

You didn't post a link to your site so just guessing.
Decrease the right/left padding in this. 1em > .9em > .8em > etc.

#navcontainer ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
padding: .2em 1em;
color: #fff;
background-color: #036;

Padding is the inside spacing from the edges of the container. Your nav main
buttons expand in width, pushed out by the text. Padding right and left is like
adding spaces before and after the text so the buttom widens.
The first one in that line is the top and bottom, increase it and the button
get taller. Clear as mud?

Hello everyone

First of all, thanks for all your tipe, I could learn a lot from reading this thread!
This is my very first post, and I am sorry to start by asking for help but something happened that I don't understand...

My website was nice and shinny (or nearly) since yesterday and for no apparent reason, my banner and my navbar vanished: www.yes-pictures.com (http://www.yes-pictures.com) - http://yes-pictures.smugmug.com
What is very strange is that if I do a preview in the customization mode, it looks just fine!?!

Here is the code I use, sorry, it's a bit long.

Any help would be greatly apreciated!

THANK YOU SO MUCH in advance!
Greetings,
Emilien

Dear Allen,

Thank you for welcoming me and for this information, the site is OK again :barb.

And the good part is that I am now registered so I can enjoy more of Dgrin (it was may be a good idea to crash the site :rolleyes )

Thanks and see you soon on the forum :D

On the following link or as long as you are in one of my galleries,

http://www.photographybydwight.com/gallery/5238278_daeWn#290081989_FamEz

Click on the nav bar on Events, then evidence of fun. At the bottom of
the browser it shows the correct website, but when you click on it
actually goes to smug mugs home page.

Once again, it only happens if you are currently in a gallery. The issue does not happen if you are on the home page.

Take the /gallery out of the link. It is a category and not needed.

Hi...
I followed the terrific instructions on how to make a nav bar and it seems to work right. Is there a code I need to put somewhere so that it shows on ALL of my pages and galleries? Right now it only shows up on the home page.

I'm really strictly a "cut and paste" person, so please go easy on me.:bow

Thanks
Kim

Hey guys some one has informed that my Nav Bar has some problems and I can not figure it out. here is a screen shot some one took for me to show one of the problems.
http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/6103/menuxc2.jpg (http://imageshack.us) This is on IE7 and on a Xp OS
The Nav Bar is only supposed to be one line so I don't get it.

Some one else says "I'm not seeing that, but that particular menu (Home) comes and goes for me. Sometimes when I move the cursor down, the options stay there for selection, but sometimes they disappear. All the other menus seem to work as they should. I'm using IE and Vista."

I have not been able to replicate these problems on my Mac with safari 3.1.1
Fire Fox 2.0.0.14 or IE7 on Xp Os under a virtual machine. I have no Idea were to or how to solve this. If some one would like to help me see what is wrong that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Corey

Hi Alle
I believe I have my header and footer created and saved correctly in my Family gallery under my smugmug. I attempted to swap out my new header in the CSS box and it does not stretch across the page. The way I want my homepage to look is from top/down- Header/Navbar/slideshow/footer (Similar to jennifer bresson on smugmug). I am going to attempt the navbar next, I just wanted to get the header and footer set. So my four questions-1) how to get my header to stretch across page, 2) how to put in my footer (saved same place as header) 3) Should I do the navbar before I set the footer and header? 4) I want my homepage to be white but can't figure out how to get rid of the themed brown that's going on right now.

Thanks so much Allen,
Tanya

It will go just below the my_banner div in your header code box.

<div id="my_banner"> </div>
<div id="navcontainer">
...
rest of the nav html
...

Think of the div as a container/box on your page. The html defines the content
and the added CSS will format it and position it.

Hi Alle
I believe I have my header and footer created and saved correctly in my Family gallery under my smugmug. I attempted to swap out my new header in the CSS box and it does not stretch across the page. The way I want my homepage to look is from top/down- Header/Navbar/slideshow/footer (Similar to jennifer bresson on smugmug). I am going to attempt the navbar next, I just wanted to get the header and footer set. So my four questions-1) how to get my header to stretch across page, 2) how to put in my footer (saved same place as header) 3) Should I do the navbar before I set the footer and header? 4) I want my homepage to be white but can't figure out how to get rid of the themed brown that's going on right now.

Thanks so much Allen,
Tanya

Are you wanting the banner centered when you say "stretched across the page".

See if this changes your color.
In your control panel under the setting tab set the default Theme to
"default". Make sure on every page it's set to default by clicking the themes button.
Then click Customize to go to that page.
Customize: Everything from changing colors to completely replacing SmugMug's look & feel!

On the customize page set this to Light.

Wow Allen you are the greatest, :barb
If not for you the quality of every one else's SmugMugs would definitely show.
I have not contacted the people that were having the trouble yet as soon as I hear from them I will let you know how good it works.
Thank you so much for going out of your way to help.

I've followed the tutorials that help me making a navbar succesfully, but I can't make heads or tails of the code that allows drop down and flyout menus. Help a bud out?

Try this in your header. Also try the CSS here (http://allen-steve.smugmug.com/gallery/2078255), it works better right off the
bat, just have to adjust colors. Use this (http://allen-steve.smugmug.com/gallery/2327835) as reference setting up drops.

Thank you! That helped loads. But there is a couple of problems. When I click galleries, I see the drop down box, but when I hover over it, it disappears. Also, it's left justified. How do I get rid of that? And one more, the text is at the bottom of the button, how can I center the text in the button?

I'll look but not familar with the version of CSS you are using. I plugged in this version (http://allen-steve.smugmug.com/gallery/2078255)
and it looked like only needed minor tweaking to work. Colors esp.

I got the CSS from the start of this thread if that helps. :dunno
Copy the header html and CSS and save in a text file for backup then try
this. Should be all formated for you. Of course you can select different colors.

Replace header html with this




<div id="hade_photo_banner">
<a href="http://edh.smugmug.com">
<img src="/img/spacer.gif" alt="" border="0" height="100" width="750">

Hi Allen,
I'm not sure if you received my reply a couple days ago but
the site that I'm interested in is if you go into smugmug and type in jennifer bresson. I know it's been a couple days but what I was asking about was how to stretch the header across the page, how to add the footer and then add a navbar. Just hoping you can help-
Tanya

You have a link to the example site?

I currently have a nav bar with the following code:

<div id="navcontainer">
<ul>
<li><a href="<A href="http://ceejanerun.smugmug.com">Home</a></li">http://ceejanerun.smugmug.com">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="<A href="http://ceejanerun.smugmug.com/People">People</a></li">http://ceejanerun.smugmug.com/People">People</a></li>

<li><a href="<A href="http://ceejanerun.smugmug.com/Contact">Contact</a></li">http://ceejanerun.smugmug.com/Contact">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

I now want to do a separate home page with the ss, so need to dump the links for "people", "animals" "general", and "nature" and instead put one link to "galleries". I want to keep the "contact" and "daily pictures"

Here is the code I replaced it with, but nothing changed:

<div id="navcontainer">
<ul>
<li><a href="<A href="http://ceejanerun.smugmug.com">Home</a></li">http://ceejanerun.smugmug.com">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="<A="http://ceejanerun.smugmug.com/Galleries</a></li"]http://ceejanerun.smugmug.com/Galleries</a></li[/URL]>
<li><a href="<A href="http://ceejanerun.smugmug.com/Daily%20Pictures">Daily">http://ceejanerun.smugmug.com/Daily%20Pictures">Daily Pictures</a></li>
<li><a href="<A href="http://ceejanerun.smugmug.com/Contact">Contact</a></li">http://ceejanerun.smugmug.com/Contact">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

would anyone have any suggestions? I can get the separate home page to work, but I just can't seem to get rid of the existing nav bar, and don't want to make any permanent changes until I figure this out!

Thank

Update: I just tried to delete the whole existing nav bar, and it won't delete!

Try this, it fixes the /galleries link.

Take a look at this tutor (http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/1932803) for creating a navbar.

Looked at the site and it'll take quite a bit of un-engineering the code, not obvious how it's done.

Allen,
I've been trying for weeks to get my smugmug site to look presentable. All kinds of smugmug people have helped with all kinds of suggestions. I finally started posting on dgrin. I don't have any idea about how to write code or Html stuff, that's why I keep asking for help. So, are you telling me that you're not sure where I should begin because as I've struggled through each issue with smugmug, I thought I was making some progress? Is there a pecking order for navbar, header , footer stuff? Please give me some advice.

Sorry,
Ok- here is my info. and I'm sorry if this is a long question but I'll try and update you on what you've helped me with so far.
My smugmug name is Agapephotos. I'm trying to arrange my homepage similar to the smugmug site - jennifer bresson. Basically ,it's a header, followed by a navbar, then a slideshow and footer at the bottom. I have a header that you've helped me with but it won't stretch across the page. I also have the slideshow going. I have a footer located in my family gallery under My Smugmug, but am not sure how to get it on my site. So, I need help fixing the header, putting in a navbar (which I'm fully willing to try with the tutorial), and finishing with a footer. I just don't want to do all this navbar stuff, only to have someone tell me that we should've figured out the header, footer stuff first.

Thanks for your patience,
Tanya

Tanya Ok, start with the header. See if this gets you what you want.

Add the red to your header and footer.

<div id="my_header">
<div id="my_banner"> </div>
</div>

Add the red to your footer code.

<div id="myFooter">
<center>
<img src="/photos/322180695_C4oLY-S.png" />
</center>
</div>

Add this to your CSS. (btw, the pink is different on these)

#my_header {background: #F58DA2;}

#myFooter {background: #FF8C9E;}

You will need a page for your galleries. This tutor (http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/2160039) shows you how. Scroll
down to "The Galleries Page" sections. It adds some javascript and CSS.

Then in your nav html change this line

<li><a href="#link">Somewhere</a></li>

to this

<li><a href="/galleries">Galleries</a></li>

Hey Allen,
I'm working on all the stuff you sent me so thank you very much. One more thing- I clicked on the bio edit button and my slideshow disappeared. I can't seem to figure out how to get it back. Do you know?
You lost this above your navcontainer stuff in your header. You didn't do the
footer part either.

Did you by mistake slick hide for your bio? Look in your control panel under the homepage tab and click show to move it back to your homepage.

Hey Allen,
Disregard my previous message about the navcontainer position stuff. I got it to work. It looks good. Now I need to change the word "somewhere" thats in my navbar to galleries and then somehow attach my galleries to this word, right?

Remove this for your javascript, don't belong there and it's already in your header.

<div id="my_banner"> </div>

You have not put the code in to create a new galleries page.
Look at this tutor (http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/2160039) and scroll down to "The Galleries Page" sections. It adds some javascript and some CSS.

Here is your header html after you get the galleries page working.
Replace the xxxxxxxx_xxxxx's with the correct gallery numbers.

Alright - I'm stumped. I followed all the instructions in the tutorial for making a navbar and separate galleries page, but the galleries page just isn't showing up - the link looks exactly like my homepage does.

Can anyone give me a hand and tell me what I might be doing wrong?

Firebug is showing a javascript error and it's probably stopping before your
galleries js is run. Have no idea about this stuff, just noting.

Ah - thanks! That helped a lot. I kept looking at the galleries function and never thought to look at the one above it for the bug. This is why I'm not a coder for a living.

Anyway, it's working now, thanks again.

Hi Allen,
I just want to make sure we're on the same page before I go and screw something up. I have changed the word "somewhere" to "galleries" and now I'm trying to link all of my galleries to this, right? So it won't be visible on my homepage.

You need to create the duplicate homepage called galleries so when you click on your nav,
the link <li><a href="/galleries">My Galleries</a></li> will work.

That tutor has you add some javascript and CSS. The js creates a duplicate of your homepage and calls it "galleries". The CSS tells it what stuff is on the homepage vs the galleries page. Without the CSS all the stuff would be on both pages, they are duplicates. A little clearer?

After you do enter the link in the nav html. As an example here's the
link for your animals gallery with the gallery number and key highlighted.
http://agapephotos.smugmug.com/gallery/4811403_DhR4x

<li><a href="/gallery/XXXXXXX_xxxxx">About Me</a></li>
It would look like this.

Look at it at about 750-800 wide, is the text readable? You can put this
image in the gallery description of the about gallery. Add this and put the
uploaded photo number in it. The size can be changed/adjusted after it's in
and we see it. Upload to the about gallery. After getting to show in the
description the photo below can be hidden with CSS. Then you will not
forget where it is.

<html>
<center>
<img src="/photos/XXXXXXX_xxxxx-L.jpg" />
</center>
</html>

Oh, and post a direct link to the about gallery. Best is to make these special
galleries unlisted so only a direct link works from your navbar. Then they
don't show on your galleries page. Your banner gallery is another of these to
unlist.

If you want the galleries background pink add this to your CSS.

Oh, now I got it. You have the images in there. You could link directly to those images in your nav by creating a gallery for each.

Create a new gallery for your about page and set it to journal style under customize gallery. Put this in the gallery description.

Each of those galleries can now be linked on your nav.

You will need larger sizes that is now allowed in your "My Smug Mug" gallery so under customize gallery set "My Smug Mug" to allow originals.

Once the photos shows on the page additional CSS will be needed to clean up the page. Will get to that later.

2)Your last instruction told me to go into my smugmug and allow original but I'm not sure what that's all about.
3)How do I hide the boxes at the bottom of the About me and Pricing pages.(they look like duplicates of the pages)
4)Can the font be bigger for the navbar?
5)Lastly- can I get rid of the gray square that the slideshow is showing on?

Looks like you'll need at least 800px at the minimum. Make them about 900
wide, can always size them down some. Create new ones and use replace
photo under photo tools so the photo number stays the same.

Can even switch the gallery to critique style to widen the gallery for even larger one.

I re-created them because the fonts in them were all wrong. Can you please guide me through the description changes for galleries - AboutMe2-5314707_QWjb2 and Pricing -5314518_zeJKg ?

You created new galleries? No need to. This below will get the photos larger in the two galleries you already did.

Yes I did add it unless I'm looking in the wrong area. I go to that gallery and when I click on edit, a description area comes up, and that is where I put it. I just looked again and it's there. Are you talking about some other place?

Looks great.:thumb

In your bio change the height to 400 for your show and see if you like it.

SM.flash.insertSlideshow(600, 400, ssConfig, 'transparent');

Add this to your CSS

#bioBox {background: none;}

Another option is change the background of the whole page.
Add the .homepage to this.

Allen,
Thank you so much. My site looks awesome and it's working!!! Thank you for the diligence in getting back to me that last few days. I know I've been emailing constantly but I figured that was the only way I could get it done.

My last question and then I'm wrapping it up.- because I had clients logging on and business coming at me right and left, I had to hurry and create my header and footer (the pink strips). I am a perfectionist though, and I know that I want to modify a few things in the future. Can you tell me once I have the modified header and footer in my gallery, what code (s) would I need to update with the proper gallery numbers?

Thanks again,
TB

You would just change the photo number in this.

<div id="myFooter">
<center>
<img src="/photos/322180695_C4oLY-S.png">
</center>
</div>

Or this for your banner.

#my_banner {display: none;
position: relative;
left: -210px;
width: 750px;
height: 140px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(/photos/322180441_hmJKs-O.png) no-repeat;
_background: none;
_filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaIma geLoader (enabled=true,
sizingmethod=image, src='/photos/318649302_XDc2B-O.png');
}

Ooh, just noticed that there are two different photos in your banner. They should be the same.
The second one in the filter line doesn't work in IE, make it the same as the other.

Add this to CSS.

#categoriesBox {background: none;}

You can hide those categories but will have to supply the directs links to get to them. Like this.
http://agapephotos.smugmug.com/Family
http://agapephotos.smugmug.com/Animals

Add this to your javascript. Ref this post (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=48082&page=2).


function delCategory() {
re = /\/(Family|Animals)$/;

var oList = YD.getElementsByClassName('miniBox', 'div', this);

for (i = 0; i < oList.length; i++) {
if (re.test(oList[i].getElementsByTagName('a')[0].href))
oList[i].parentNode.removeChild(oList[i]);
}
}
YE.onContentReady('categoriesBox', delCategory);

Those two categories will disappear from your galleries page. So to get to
them you'd need the direct link like this. So your family/friends would have
to bookmark them.
http://agapephotos.smugmug.com/Family
http://agapephotos.smugmug.com/Animals

There is a way to create a private "landing page"/gallery with all your
private/personal categories on it. This page (http://allen-steve.smugmug.com/gallery/4776685_46R9o) needs a password to enter for
example. On that page you could show all your private categories. This page (http://allen-steve.smugmug.com/gallery/3539056_ZkcLB)
is set up for just that and although no PW (can be added) shows how a bunch
of links can be displayed.

Hi Allen,
I think I'm going to wait to do the hide gallery stuff down the road. I have a lot of possible clients accessing my homepage right now and I need to get it done. Anyway, I had typos on the About me page so I had to re-create it. It is located at Agapephotos-family-Me and has the path- http://agapephotos.smugmug.com/gallery/5319332_xyRvR/1/324831636_jLdhv

So what I need to do is swap out AboutMe2 for Me gallery. I don't know how to do this smoothly. I tried creating it in PS and then doing the whole Replace button, but it says there was a problem-try again.

Do I just use the codes for the description you gave me in the above edit or do the numbers change? Also, in that same place is my contact page. How do I hook this up to my navbar - Contact?

Thanks so much,
TB

Sorry Allen-
I changed the names so this wouldn't be so painful to "current" and "new". If you go to agapephotos-galleries-family, you'll see what I'm trying to explain.

The "Current" gallery is connected to my navbar-"About Me" tab. I'm trying to replace it with the "new" gallery. I'd love to do the replace photo thing that everyone's talking about but am not sure how. Also, I'm sure we'll have to do the same thing to the size that we did yesterday as the "New" is again too small to read.

I also have a "Contact" gallery (same place- in the Familly gallery), that I'm trying to connect to the "Contact" tab in the navbar.

Thank you for your patience

The two nav links to about and price both look good as is. You want to
change something with them?

Your contact image is 900x600 and the text is in the upper left. Crop off
most of the white area on the right and bottom. It will fit and position the
better in description box. Under photo tools drop pick "replaces photo".
Then pick browse and select the new image on your harddrive. This will
upload the new smaller version and replace the current one. It will keep the
same photo number.

I know the one named "Current" is working, it just has a typo in the second paragraph so I need to swap it with the "New" one.

I'm assuming you're referring to the nav buttons like guestbook, about and
pricing. Each of those are pages created for conveying information. It's
what is referred to as an "html" page, not for photos like a regular gallery.
They are just galleries without photos. You can add text and such to the
gallery description, like your bio info or your general prices.

Then the nav would link to the gallery like this
<a href="http://nickname.smugmug.com/gallery/1234456_FgVh2">guestbook</a>

Allen,
Is there an easy way to explain what you told me to do? It worked, I'm just trying to understand the code so that in the future, if I have a page I have to swap out, I'll be able to do it without bothering you.

In this about gallery
http://agapephotos.smugmug.com/gallery/5314707_QWjb2
replace this line in the description

<img src="/photos/324438880_SYM7C-L.jpg.jpg">

with this

<img src="/photos/324831636_jLdhv-L.jpg" />

That IS your new image.

Hey Allen,
I tried to clean up the galleries so I deleted the "Current" gallery. The "New" galley you helped me hook to the "About Me" tab in the nav bar. Once I deleted the old one (Called "Current") the About Me page now just goes to the smugmug homepage.

Once I deleted the old one (Called "Current") the About Me page now just goes to the smugmug homepage. I think your new about gallery is set to unlisted so no way to find it without a
direct link. Can you go to that gallery and copy the address and post here?

or just replace the red in this with the new number and key.
<li><a href="/gallery/5314707_QWjb2">About Me</a></li>

Ok-that did it but it's still on journal style. So now the "About Me" tab as well as the "Contact" tab on Navbar are both on journal style. We had this problem yesterday but I forgot how you fixed it.

You keep changing galleries.:D Ok, this is your new about gallery fixes.
Change it to journal style under customize gallery.

I really appreciate some help.

I tried following the first page of instructions from http://dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=42747&highlight=pull+menu
and I got about this far but I need some help.

My website is www.mafotografix.com

I've left my original nav bar there while trying to construct the new pull down one.

There are only 3 tabs and the first two are pull downs.

While I'll fuss with the looks and colors later, what I did was to cut and paste SteveM's codes and customize them but the major problems I having now are:

1. The menus are not behaving like Steve's http://www.downriverphotography.com/ ie they don't fly out to the right side and the text is not right aligned like his.

2. How do I center the whole nav menu?

3. The nav buttons get hidden behind the thumbnails and photos instead of hover over the background.

4. Three links don't work ie, 'Female Models, Male Models, and Animals' - Going to Control Panel/Homepage, the galleries are there and working. The gallery numbers match up.

This should fix your html. Not familar with the CSS you are using.
I use this version (http://allen-steve.smugmug.com/gallery/2078255). btw, you have to have a href in every "a" link for IE to work. I added in href="#nopick" in the ones without.

Hi Allen,

Thanks so much for the CSS & HTML. I could customize it better. But some issues still persist:

1. The 3 links are still broken.
2. I can't seem to get the menu to move to the extreme right. I'm trying to align it to the same location where you see the 'Themes' button. I will be having a logo on the other left end.
3. The pull down buttons are still behind the photos.

Side note: The nav button alignments are slightly different when viewed with FireFox and Safari. I primarily work with Safari. If you notice the pull down button box under 'Welcome', the boxes are slightly smaller on the right side viewed with Safari. Very strange.

I'm hoping to get the new nav working this weekend.

Thank you again.

Hi Allen,

Thanks so much for the CSS & HTML. I could customize it better. But some issues still persist:

1. The 3 links are still broken.
... You need the gallery secutity key for all new galleies. example below.

<li><a href="http://www.mafotografix.com/gallery/5327572_XFDYC">Female Models</a></li>

Also in menu CSS change all these

background: 0;

to this

background: #000;

...2. I can't seem to get the menu to move to the extreme right. I'm trying to align it to the same location where you see the 'Themes' button. I will be having a logo on the other left end.
3. The pull down buttons are still behind the photos.
...
I removed the comments so you could see the changes easier.

.menu {
position: relative;
float: right;
display: block;
z-index: 99;
padding: 20px 0px 20px 0px;
height: 20px;
width: 400px;
}

This wiil put the banner to the left.

#my_banner {
float: left;
width: 458px;
height: 80px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(http://mafotografix.smugmug.com/photos/157689078-L.jpg) no-repeat;
}
/*
.homepage #my_banner {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}*/

You have a bunch of dashes right above the menu css and it's b0rking the
css under it, remove them. The z-index is not working, why menu falls
behind photos.

Thanks Allen.

I managed to tweek as you advised and got the z-index to work :D :clap

Now I need to learn how to arrange the banner, nav menu, and foot note/counter position differently on different pages. I sort of gotten the banner to work in my pages.

Could you show me how to do the following:

1. 'Welcome' page - how to center the pull down nav and my banner is not showing for some reason.

2. 'FAQ, BIO and Client' pages - how to align the nav to the edge of the frame. The banner (ie 'MAFG' logo) is correctly aligned in these 3 pages ie aligned to the left frame edge.

3. For the gallery pages - how to align the nav to the edge of the enlarged photo.

4. For the gallery pages - how to align the banner to the edge of the first thumbnail?

5. For the 'Events' pages (weddings and fashion shows) how come the font size suddenly increase in size. In fact everything seems to be enlarged slightly for these two pages only.

6. For the FAG and BIO pages - how to make the font less bold looking; the fonts type in the CSS box is made to be bold. It is difficult to read at the moment. I want a crisp font similar to the pull down nav font.

7. How do I make the page nav (those page numbers right above the thumbnails) and the photo nav, align at the bottom of the photos and to the right?

8. Could you show me how to flip the thumbnails to the right and the enlarged photo on the left?

9. How to you reposition the counter and smugmug ad to the align the edge of the photo (right) or thumbnail (left)?

10. Lastly, how to you add background space to the top portion of the banner?

I'm slowly but surely getting there.

Thank you for your help! Don't know what I'd do without you :bow

1. 'Welcome' page - how to center the pull down nav and my banner is not showing for some reason. Move it to the outside.
...
You have comments within comments, not good, some of the time, IE esp.
don't like it. Moving it outside and the banner pops right up.

/*#my_banner { /* previous banner */
width: 458px;
height: 80px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(http://mafotografix.smugmug.com/photos/157689078_TwsKy-L.jpg) no-repeat;
}*/

like this

/* previous banner */
/* #my_banner {
width: 458px;
height: 80px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: url(http://mafotografix.smugmug.com/photos/157689078_TwsKy-L.jpg) no-repeat;
} */ In your nav html remove the class on this with no drop.

<li><a class="drop" href="http://www.mafotografix.com/clients">Clients</a></li>

to this

<li><a href="http://www.mafotografix.com/clients">Clients</a></li>

You have a backward opening comment tag here. */ should be /*, though
it's not really needed because you don't have display none in your banner CSS.

*/.homepage #my_banner {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}*/

You are missing the . in front of all these.

.gallery_3323034 #filmstrip {background-image: none;}
.gallery_3323034 #filmstrip {margin-top: -100px;}
.gallery_3323034 #albumNav_top {display: none;}
.gallery_3323034 #albumNav_bottom {display: none;}

You have float right in this, remove it and the nav will center, but you have
to minimize the width until it wraps to two lines for it to really center. (340px centers it)

/* Common Styling */
.menu {
...
width: 400px; /* width of menu - minimize this until doesn't wrap to two lines - too large effects centering */
float: right;
...
}

4. For the gallery pages - how to align the banner to the edge of the first thumbnail?

10. Lastly, how to you add background space to the top portion of the banner?

Add the bold in this order, general first then specific ones. Everything in the
general applies except for the changes. In this the relative is used.

.menu {
...
...
}

.category.category_Clients .menu,
.gallery_2610643 .menu,
.gallery_3678505 .menu {
left: 180px;
top: -40px;
}

.galleryPage .menu {
float: right;
right: 40px;
}

.galleryPage #my_banner {
margin: 10px 0 0 20px;
}

In this above, margin: 10px 0 0 20px;, it adds a top margin. Do it in the general #my_banner rule
and you'll have the space above the banner on all pages. Those are, top-right-bottom-left.

The menu is still a little screwy on different pages but I'll try to mess around with the codes and see what works.

Hi!

I think this is where I'm suppose to ask navbar questions!:scratch

I'm having trouble changing one of my links to my navbar.
www.purkhiserphotography.com (http://www.purkhiserphotography.com)
I'm wanting to plug in the new number for my "prices" sheet when you click it on the navbar tab. I want it to pull up just like the current one, only with my new information. When I plug in the new number it boots you to the actual gallery with all the pages instead of pulling the page up.

The customization line currently looks like this:
<li><a href="/gallery/2688228/1/223994833/Original">Prices</a></li>

I want to plug in:
<li><a href="/gallery/2688228/1/326806481/Original">Prices</a></li>

but it looks totally different. Although, all I did was update my current sheet and upload it.

What am I doing wrong?

I apologize in advance for this question as im sure its been asked too many times. Im trying to add a navbar so that I can put a slidewhow on my homepage and still have my site be easy to navigate. However, in the tutorial by Ivar (http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/1932803) I get confused with the html part. It says to copy and paste (i can do that haha) but where you fill in the gallery ID im confused. Do you have to do that for every single gallery?? Also, the next step says to add whole links...do I add links or gallery ids? I know this is a really stupid question, but i am very very new to html. Thanks for any help.

Sorry about the confusion, it's not always obvious how this stuff happens
and we've all been there. I assume you been to this tutor (http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/2160039) and found the link
to the navbar tutor.

In the first tutor it explains how to create a duplicate homepage called
galleries. The new galleries page and homepage will be identical with all the
same boxes. Some CSS will used to turn things on and off on each.

If you just have a slideshow on your homepage and toggle the
galleries/categories box off with CSS you'll need the link in your nav to get
to your galleries.

In the nav will be a link to the new galleries page which will show all your
public galleries/categories.
<li><a href="/galleries">Galleries</a></li>

And you can add links to special galleries like a guestbook.
<li><a href="/gallery/XXXXXX_xxxxx">Guestbook</a></li>
XXXXXX_xxxxx is the gallery number and it's case sensitive key

Go ahead and paste what's shown for the navbar in your header. Also paste
in the CSS shown. All this can be edited later, won't hurt anything. You can
add the actual numbers later when you create them.

Holler back here if you have any questions or run into trouble.

Thanks for the reply! Im really sorry, but I'm still really confused...i have looked at the tutorial you linked, but I dont see anything about creating a duplicate homepage...the first tutor is about creating a banner (which i did). What is the duplicate homepage for?
So if im adding a navbar accoring to the tutor, in the part where I put the gallery id in css (where it has the red x's) what gallery do I put there? And in the next step where links are being put in, what is that and what should i put there?
Once again, im really sorry for being so stupid. If you could really dumb things down, that would be awesome :)

Once again, im really sorry for being so stupid. If you could really dumb things down, that would be awesome :) Scroll down to "The Galleries Page I-III" sections, this adds the galleries
page which is a duplicate homepage. The CSS in "The Galleries Page II" will
hide things on either the homepage or galleries page.

The nav is constructed with a bunch of links/buttons (<li>.....</li>). You
can add any link you like. These all go between the <ul> & </ul> tags. The
three in red can be used if you're going to create those galleries otherwise
just remove those lines.

<div id="navcontainer">
<ul>
<li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="/gallery/XXXXXX_xxxxx">About Me</a></li>
<li><a href="/galleries">Galleries</a></li>
<li><a href="/gallery/XXXXXX_xxxxx">Information</a></li>
<li><a href="/gallery/XXXXXX_xxxxx">Guestbook</a></li>
... more links can be add here or inserted between any of the above.
</ul>
</div>

Go to any gallery and look at the url in the browser address/location bar.
As an example for your "The Sun" gallery this is the url with the gallery number in red.

2)The code you told me to replace, put the old gallery back (marked old in the family gallery). I'm trying to get the AboutMetake2 gallery hooked to my About me tab in the navbar.

Set the contact gallery to journal style under customize gallery and it'll fix it.

Thank you, thank you Allen! :clap :bow :whew

The menu is still a little screwy on different pages but I'll try to mess around with the codes and see what works.

Hi Allen,

Sorry to be such a pain in the u know where, but I think I really messed it up.

I've been using Apple Safari to design. Today I viewed my website using IE6 and it is horrible! The pull down menu doesn't work in IE and the banner position is all wrong.

I think I need to start all over again. Safari and Firefox seem to be similar and I thought I was getting the hang of it (ie I got the Banner to sit nicely, I had only the menu placement to resolve).

How can we view it correctly in all three?

Could you help me start from the begining? What should I get rid off and what should stay?

This is what I envision, it is quite simple really:

1. Home/Welcome page - everything centered (banner design #1, menu, all footer notes)

2. All other pages - Banner Design #2 aligned with text or photo margin on the left. Menu and foot notes aligned with text of photo margin on the right.

They auto adjust as the page size changes.

I didn't think it would be that difficult. Sigh.

Onr thing throwing it off is the gif size in your banner div. You have it set
to 750x120, change it to 230, your actual banner size. Check height also.
Height and width should be same size as banner image size.

<div id="my_banner"><a href="http://mafotografix.smugmug.com"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" border="0" height="120" width="750"></a></div>

This is probably throwing the other browser off and pushing nav to the right.

Change that and will look again.

One quick question, do I need to put actual links between the quotation marks in this? The part of the tutorial where it says that "you have to tell it!" is confusing. So I need to put the gallery ID and the link? sorry again.

Scroll down to "The Galleries Page I-III" sections, this adds the galleries
page which is a duplicate homepage. The CSS in "The Galleries Page II" will
hide things on either the homepage or galleries page.

The nav is constructed with a bunch of links/buttons (<li>.....</li>). You
can add any link you like. These all go between the <ul> & </ul> tags. The
three in red can be used if you're going to create those galleries otherwise
just remove those lines.

<div id="navcontainer">
<ul>
<li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="/gallery/XXXXXX_xxxxx">About Me</a></li>
<li><a href="/galleries">Galleries</a></li>
<li><a href="/gallery/XXXXXX_xxxxx">Information</a></li>
<li><a href="/gallery/XXXXXX_xxxxx">Guestbook</a></li>
... more links can be add here or inserted between any of the above.
</ul>
</div>

Go to any gallery and look at the url in the browser address/location bar.
As an example for your "The Sun" gallery this is the url with the gallery number in red.
http://provethesunshine.smugmug.com/gallery/5322542_2LhQg#325121300_JdDBd

A little clearer?

They can be edited or added later. No problem leaving in for now until you
have actual links to put in.

OK. so I followed the 3 galleries tutorial, linked in my navbar to the new "galleries" page I made. And now my homepage has no galleries on it, and when I hit "galleries" in the navbar, it just stays on that page. Only my bio is there...off the top of your head would you know what I did wrong? I put the link "provethesunshine.smugmug.com/galleries in the gallleries part of the html.

OK, bad news, I already have a weird problem. Good news, I'm starting to slightly understand this stuff :)

So, I had my galleries link in the navbar working fine. So I just created a quick "about me" gallery, copy and pasted the link, and put it between the parentheses in the html. When I hit update, the about me works, but when I hit "galleries" in my navbar, it either just stays on the same page or goes to the smugmug homepage. If I delete the about me page, the galleries works again. Any ideas?

I deleted the "about me" link. So galleries work now.

My about page is still screwed up slightly. Hopefully an easy fix. The correct image (simply labeled "2") is at the bottom of the screen and the old- incorrect one is at the top of the screen. I've deleted the old one from my gallery but for some reason it's stuck there. The new one, at the bottom, has my new email address- agapephotos@charter.net- just so you know what I'm talking about.

The drop is working in iE6 here but way to the right.
Move the left to about -150 or so to line up the drop fpr IE6.

Hi Allen,

Did you mean way to the 'left'? That's how I'm seeing the menu. It is way to the left for all pages except all gallery pages; which are just to the right of the banner. No menu or banner is on the right margin.

A 'screen' means it is not solid but translucent. For example to screen 20% means to let 20% of the background show through. The example is smugmug's own default gallery page pull down selection (above the thumbnails).

Let me try the code you gave me.

Update the code didn't work :( No change. So I hid it.

Here's what I've been seeing. These are the 3 typical page layouts. There are two types of banners. And they are in the correct location here. But the pull down menus are not working (IE) and are on the left not right (which they should be for 'galleries' and 'clients'). The menu for the opening page should be centered under the banner.

Change your banner html in your header to this so IE can be worked on a fix.
The gif is too large. Can't troubleshoot IE without it changed. It creates a
big blank area to the right of the banner that IE is trying to avoid.

<div id="my_banner">
<a href="http://mafotografix.smugmug.com">
<img src="/img/spacer.gif" border="0" height="57" width="231" />
</a></div>

EDit: back with IE6 fixes, still need gif size fixed above. Copy your current CSS for backup first.
The IE drop & flyout in IE were just off the screen.
Here's the whole thing, changes thru-out. The menu and banner can be moved some after seeing
if this works everywhere.

Change your banner html in your header to this so IE can be worked on a fix.
The gif is too large. Can't troubleshoot IE without it changed. It creates a
big blank area to the right of the banner that IE is trying to avoid.

Thanks, I'll definately try it out :)
At work right now ... but I can't wait to get off work to get this try this out.
So what movie were you watching? I just saw Wall-E and it was great!!! Ironman next ... & then the Mummy! :)

I've to change it in every way I can think of. However, if i try to navigate to my galleries page from anywhere in my navbar (about me, guestbook, etc) it just goes to the homepage. Please help :( thanks in advance!

Sorry...but how do you mean? I replaced /galleries with the link to the galleries page I made. What else needs to be there?

And how do you know all this stuff?? Its crazy!! haha. thanks so much.

Watchin' ole Bruce gettin' beat down to his last drop of blood and still coming

About the menu and banner, I think one version will work very close on all
pages, at least that's where to start. Maybe take some slight tweaks. Took
awhile to get the drops and flyouts to behave in IE using CSSVista to tweak
like WebDev does for Firefox.

In your header nav html change this line

<li><a href="provethesunshine.smugmug.com/galleries">Galleries</a></li>

to this

<li><a href="http://provethesunshine.smugmug.com/galleries">Galleries</a></li>

Assuming you want a different one in the gallery. Add the red to your
header and change the links in navcontainer2.

<div id="navcontainer" class="menu">
<ul>
<li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="/galleries">Galleries</a></li>
<li><a href="/gallery/5352130_wNiRU">Your Investment</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

<div id="navcontainer2" class="menu">
<ul>
<li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="/galleries">Galleries</a></li>
<li><a href="/gallery/5352130_wNiRU">Your Investment</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

Change this in your CSS

#navcontainer ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
text-align: center;
}

#navcontainer ul li {
display: inline;
}

#navcontainer ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
padding: .2em 1em;
color: #fff;
background-color: #00000;
}

#navcontainer ul li a:hover {
color: #fff;
background-color: #369;
}

to this and the class menu will apply to both navs.
Change the xxxxxxx to the gallery number.

.gallery_xxxxxxx #navcontainer {display: none;}
.gallery_xxxxxxx #navcontainer2 {display: block;}

.menu ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style-type: none;
text-align: center;
}

.menu ul li {
display: inline;
}

.menu ul li a {
text-decoration: none;
padding: .2em 1em;
color: #fff;
background-color: #00000;
}

Try opacity, 2nd line for IE

.... {
opacity: .7;
filter: alpha(opacity=70);
}

I'll look as soon as the movie I'm watching is over. :D

Hi Allen,

Where do I put this code again? Not too sure where 2nd line is, :scratch

In the galleries, is it possible to flip the thumbnails from displaying on left to right?

I have a shoot this weekend so for now I just had the banner and menu centered so that it doesn't seem so 'under construction'.

Thanks again.

#my_banner {display: none;
position: relative;
left: -210px

I then need to change out my pages - Contact, About me and tips. Is there an easy swap out way? I tried doing the About Me page and this is what I did-

.gallery_5372339.journal_entry, /* hides photos in gallery */
.gallery_5372339 #breadcrumb {display: none;}
.loggedIn.gallery_5372339 #breadcrumb {display: block;}

The old one is still hooked to the navbar though.

My header, footer and new pages are at agapephotos-photography.

Yes I do want my banner centered so what should I change this to:
#my_banner {display: none;
position: relative;
left: -210px

I then need to change out my pages - Contact, About me and tips. Is there an easy swap out way? I tried doing the About Me page and this is what I did-
DESCRIPTION:
<html>
<center>
<img src="/photos/328977148_5ENDn-L.jpg"/>
</center>
</html>

CSS:
/* about me gallery */
.gallery_5372339.play_slideshow,
.gallery_5372339 #albumNav_top,
.gallery_5372339 #albumNav_bottom,
.gallery_5372339.journal_entry, /* hides photos in gallery */
.gallery_5372339 #breadcrumb {display: none;}
.loggedIn.gallery_5372339 #breadcrumb {display: block;}

The old one is still hooked to the navbar though.
Remove the left: -210px, it's not need and your banner will center.

What do you mean "swap out"? You creating new galleries for the existing
ones? There is no need to change galleries, just edit the contents of the
current one and your nav would not change.

I know that's how you do it for CSS and HTML documents but mine are actually images that I created in PS so I can't do what you're recommending. So I actually re-created the pages and put them in the Photography gallery.

Don't think you have the idea of what is really happening.:D Create one
gallery for each of those, upload the photo used in that gallery, to that
gallery. In each gallery description you'll link to the photo in that gallery. If
you want a different photo in the gallery upload to that gallery and in the
description change the photo link.

In other words use only those three galleries and they'll remain linked in your
navbar.

I tried that and posted what I did in post 2227 above. I must have something wrong though because it doesn't work. I posted the new ones the same way I posted the current ones. If you look in agapephotos-galleries-photography, you'll see the pages I'm talking about. The white background ones are currently hooked to navbar. I'm trying to swap out the black ones. I tried the About me gallery.

The only things needed to be swapped out is the photo number in each gallery

Take a look here (http://allen-steve.smugmug.com/gallery/2327835) (simple example) then here (http://allen-steve.smugmug.com/gallery/2011077) (detailed) and here (http://allen-steve.smugmug.com/gallery/2078255) (CSS needed).

Put together a menu tree and I can quickly throw it together.
Something like this between the code tags, # sign in tool bar above reply box.
I pasted from notepad and used spaces for indents.

Your navbar html really should be in your header next to your banner and not
head tag box. You can leave to old one there for now and put the new one in
your header. While working on it you can add this to your CSS to hide the
new one till it's working good.
.menu {display: none;}

You can paste the CSS as is from that page then go down thru it and adjust
colors, backgrounds, widths, etc. Most of the lines are labeled what they do.

I can't believe that I can't get this....I was an engineer for 8 years and can't quite grasp this stuff!!!!!
Was I supposed to put the new contact page etc. in the same gallery as the old one?

I am obviously completely screwed up because when I look at my new about me page (the one that I told you I attempted to make work on my own) , you said the only thing I needed to do was make sure the right description is there. I clicked on properties of the image and put that number in the description for that page. :scratch

The only things needed to be swapped out is the photo number in each gallery
description. You created a new gallery for the new photo. :D

Thank you Allen-
I think I finally have the right galleries hooked to the navbar. They are all really small though. Can you take a look at my About Me, Contact, Pricing tabs on my navbar? How do I get them bigger and fit the page? I'm sure the pricing page will take up more than a screen so you'll have to scroll to see the rest but the Contact and About Me pages should fill a page I think.

Thank you for all your time. I'm sorry this is drawn out. I'm glad I've got my pages where I want them!:clap :clap

I have a problem with my navbar, more precisely the width of the navbar is changing according to the page such as: homepage, galleries, about me etc. I guess that the cause of the problem is that I use different themes .... consequently, different theme for homepage, different theme for "galleries" and so. Is there any way to make something with my navbar so it is not changing its size? One more thing: how can I add some additional stuff between particular parts of my navbar, squares, stars, points etc?

Remove this from your CSS or add comment tags around it.

/* If you want to have the galleries show up on your homepage when you

You can add a | between each button.
