Help Please !!!

Hi
I finally got the cojones together to go and bring my smugmug site up to date..... I managed the basics and got the nav bar and headers the way I liked them BUT cannot figure out how to make a page one panel of text. I created the text on a background in CS and then uploaded to my "information" gallery/page but cannot get it to appear as anything other than an image in a block.
Also, I wanted to run a slide show from my weddings gallery, on my front page. I think I followed the directions correctly but am obviously missing something.
The url is http://teamprophotos.smugmug.com/
Any assistance will be much appreciated...:dunno

First thing I've done is delete all this from your CSS. It doesn't belong there.


width = 800

vspace = 0

hspace = 0

height = 543

border = 0

align = middle

onmouseover = smugPopular(this.id,showing);

style = background-image: url(http://teamprophotos.smugmug.com/photos/120840804-L.jpg);

id = mainPhoto

name = mainPhoto

class = imgBorderOn protected

alt = Richard > We like to get together before the meds kick in....

title = Richard > We like to get together before the meds kick in....

src = /img/spacer.gif

Position
Left: 25px Top: 859px
Width: 800px Height: 543px

Geez, you guys are patient... Well, at least so far...
Ok, I really need to know what I did wrong, or, I need to ask you to put the wedding slideshow up onto the front page...
I really want to get the hang of this and not have to bother you guys too much..
a small but amazingly adequate bunch of smilies BTW:scratch:dunno:wink:huh

HI :)

Here is the code in your footer for the slideshow:

<*script type="text/javascript"*>
slideshowContainerId = "bioBox";
slideshowUrl = "http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/736632";
resizeToPhoto = false;
slideDuration = 5;
slideHeight = "400";
slideWidth = "600";
loadSlideshow();
<*/script*>

Replace the red with the gallery that you wish to use for the slideshow. Just the red. Make sure and leave the quotations marks, etc.

Ah, I thought you wanted it on the home page from your above post. Sorry bout that! Can you give us a link to the gallery in which you want your slideshow?

What do you mean, place "it" into another gallery?
Do you mean, you want a different gallery to feed your slideshow on your homepage? If not, please elaborate :D

[richardgreen98]

Yes, I think that's what I mean.... I'd like the "home page" to be where the visitor is made to watch my "marketing slideshow" which is going to be my weddings & "mitzvahs " gallery...
I've told everyone I know that I learned how to do all this from a packet of breakfast cereal giveaway... I hope you won't let me down...

Okay, so you want a slideshow on your homepage:

http://teamprophotos.smugmug.com/

and also in this gallery?

[richardgreen98]

This is my Galleries page

http://teamprophotos.smugmug.com/

and this is my home page:

http://teamprophotos.smugmug.com/gallery/2322212

I would like the wedding slideshow to appear on the home/front page and now that you have put one on my galleries page, I love it , so want to keep it..:barb

So the easiest way to do this is load up photos, and force the gallery to Slideshow style. How's that? :ear

[richardgreen98]

Almost there, thank you once more...:thumb

That part's done thanks again... Quick tip on getting the navbar into the info page and how can I adjust the size of the image on that page ? Lastly (:huh) if I wanted to replace that image, where would I begin ?:deal

1) PLEASE put your website in your Dgrin profile, it's SO MUCH easier for us to find your site. You! upper left dgrin screen, thanks.

2) your Info link in your navbar goes to this image:

Instead, why not make a new gallery, force it to Journal Style, upload a nice photo, and put all that "info" in a caption. Then, link that GALLERY in the navbar.
