customizing individual galleries

[mmrphoto]

Maybe there is already a thread on this, but I couldn't turn one up.

I'm definitely no pro when it comes to code, but I wanted to customize more than just my homepage. I have found some different sites that I like, but I don't know where to enter what code. For example, I have found that I can put some code in the description box in my individual galleries, but I don't really understand what I'm doing...

Can I put CSS in the description box? If not, how do I use CSS to customize specific galleries, and same with HTML? Or do I just enter code for different galleries on the same "CUSTOMIZE" tab as where I have entered my code for my slideshow and home page?

In any text box including the album description, captions and bio you can
only put html in there. The CSS is to style the pages and only goes in the
CSS customize box.

See examples here (http://allen-steve.smugmug.com/gallery/3235336) and here (http://allen-steve.smugmug.com/gallery/2320726) of adding html to a gallery description and using
CSS to format it.

Hi Allen- I did see this on the other post, so maybe I shouldn't have started this thread, but I guess it didn't make any sense to little old me.:scratch What I want to do, is take the slideshow I have on my home page right now and copy it to my wedding portfolio page and then just keep the slideshow settings on the homepage and replace the gallery with a new one (Which, I actually think I know how to do by just changing out the gallery info). When I try to copy the code of my slideshow into the gallery description, the text is showing up so I can't be doing it right. Really, I don't understand the differences between all the code types, so what can go in the description box, not CSS, but html, javascript, what? I'm so confused!

You want another show in that gallery and keep the one on your home page?

[mmrphoto]

Yes, that's exactly what I want :)

So you want another show in the Wedding Portfolio gallery? You can put one
there but it'll be on every gallery page. Is that what you want?

Another idea is create a landing page for the Wedding Portfolio gallery with
the new show and link to the real Wedding Portfolio gallery from there. This
would be a basic html type page with the show in the album description.

Any thoughts?

OK, so i missed the easy way.... where i just chose slide show as the style of the gallery... so that just leaves me with one little problem... I want to get rid of all the options on the page, like the play button and fade and all. How do I do that?

Just had that question this morning. See this thread (http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=75586).

#slideshow .toolsbox {display:none;}

I see the thread, but where do I put it... I thought it went in the description box, but apparently not. It shows up where I put it. Check it out...

On all my other galleries, I also want to put the shopping carts at the bottom of the pages and get rid of all the slideshow and share picture buttons.... again, I don't have a good enough understanding of this to know where to put the code.

It goes in the CSS and that does all the slideshow style galleries.

If you only want that one gallery to not have the toolsbox.
Use this.
