Theme editing

[rothschilddesign]

Hi,

I have customized the CSS on my site for my photography business (rothschildesign.smugmug.com), but I also am doing some other genealogy sites (e.g. http://rothschilddesign.smugmug.com/gallery/4083270).

What I would like to do is to customize the look of the genealogy sites without changing the photography business site... I understand that I can do stuff like hide the owner, and do basic modifications through the customization page. However, for example, if I want to hide the smugmug logo, or the cart icon, I can't do that through the customization page...

It would be good if I could just duplicate the "old family album" theme, rename it "old family album 2" or something like that, and then go from there (without redoing all of that background layout, etc..).

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Mike

Mike -
You can create your own theme - from control panel, customize tab, click themes. You should be able to copy the CSS from the old family album theme as a starting point.

I have this same question about changing themes. I know how to get to the customization page but what exactly do I copy from the theme page that I want. Do I go to that page and click on vew source and where do I see the code? What do I copy and paste?

If you want to copy the theme code, I think that the easiest way is to use webdev in Firefox, available from http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/ or https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60. If you don't already have Firefox installed, you can get it from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/.

To see the themes, go to http://themes.smugmug.com/ (in Firefox) and select the theme you want to use as a starting point. Use the CSS dropdown, edit css to show the CSS. The theme CSS will be on a tab labeled with a name starting with theme. You could pick up that code as a starting point and paste it into a new theme in your control panel (customize tab, click themes). That would be a starting point, and you can customize it from there.
