Help with displaying photo with new community

[marygrace]

Hello all!

Just wanted to see if someone could help me with this. I created a scrapbook community and am trying to associate a photo with it for the communities page. I read the help file and it says to do this:

In the photo tools pull-down menu (http://www.smugmug.com/help/photo-tools.mg), you'll see an option for Highlight Gallery (community).My only problem is this: When I go to the gallery I've associated with this community, I pull down the Photo Tools menu and this option is not available. Is this only for non-standard users? Is it under another menu? If so, I can't imagine which one.

So, yeah, if someone can help me out with this, that would be great! Also, come and join. Believe me, scrapbooking is a granny-hobby no longer :wave

I normally set it on the "customize gallery" page, near the bottom of the page there is an option "communities
you may associate this gallery with one of your smugmug communities". If you click on "smugmug communities" it will give you the option of joining communities, once you have they will show up in the drop down menu under communities. This will associate the entire gallery. That is how I do it, I don't know about the method you were looking for, but I am sure it will be explained.

I have to agree with Mary. There is no "Highlight Gallery (community)" option in my photo-tools-drop-down of a gallery that I added to my own community.
Currently I've three of my own galleries in my European-Smugmuggers (http://www.smugmug.com/community/European-Smugmuggers) community and in all of them there're only the standard photo-options.

Obviously it works for some...http://www.smugmug.com/community/...half of the communities already got a picture beside their names. Maybe the feature is just not yet completely rolled out?! ({JT}!?)

Yep, in the Customize Gallery page, I did associate that gallery to a Smugmug community. Still, I see no "Highlight Gallery" in the Photos pull-down menu.

I'll keep trying at it. Thanks!

Just as a clarification. The help says:

"Choosing a photo to represent your community

On smugmug's community page (http://www.smugmug.com/community/), some communities have thumbnail-sized photos by their names. To display one for your community, navigate to a gallery you own that's associated with your community. In the photo tools pull-down menu (http://www.smugmug.com/help/photo-tools.mg), you'll see an option for Highlight Gallery (community). Choose it.

The Highlight Gallery option will randomly display one of the images in the gallery. To highlight just one image, navigate to the photo you wish to display. Then pick Feature Photo from the photo tools pull-down menu."


But there's no such thing as "Highlight Gallery" in my photo-tools:

Any ideas what's going wrong?
Thanks,

Hmmmm... That's odd. We're trying to figure out why it isn't showing in your menus. Here's what it looks like on my machine, and the way it's supposed to look on yours:

Baldy,
any update on this one?
Thanks,
Sebastian

Sorry for the 2nd bump. It's just a little annoying seeing my communities without featured pictures on the start page. :cry

Thanks for an update,
Sebastian

I too would like to see this sorted out so that I can add a featured pic on the start page for communities. :D

Do you need any more help in figuring this out? :wink

Finally works! :clap

It actually always did. You must be using a Style other than Elegant. Was a nasty bug to track down since it worked for 99% of people and we couldn't figure out what the problem was. Turns out Elegant Small and the like didn't have it, which I never use.

Whatever, it wasn't important for me, but thanks for the fix.

We just barely figured it out ourselves. :)

OK I had a picture beside my community for babyphotography and now the picture is gone. I check my gallery and it is still associated with babyphotography's community, but there is no highlight gallery option under the photo options pull down. I checked using every option..smugmug, smugmug small, traditional...all of them.

I really want my picture back up beside the community. Need help.

Did the new change over take that option away somehow??

Anyone? Still can't highlight a gallery in my community...

I hope you get an answer for this one. My pictures are still showing up for my communities, but I did go into photo tools and I do not have "Highlight Gallery (Community) either. In any of the styles.

Thought I would just mention it :)

Anyone? Still can't highlight a gallery in my community...Neither can't I anymore. Seems like add geography replaced this option somehow. So we're back at there the thread originally started. :rolleyes

Any comments on this from our favorite support team? :wink

Yes, I didn't have any problem with my community picture til the day the new changes went into affect, so I am sure its a bug that just needs to be found.

[{JT}]

Yes, I see the same problem. Just fixed it, should be out with the other fixes.
