View Full Version : Going Crazy.. how to embed galleries in other web site

I've got several galleries in SmugMug, and on one of my sites, I show individual photos that can also be found on Smugmug.

It should be easier if I upload my photos to Smugmug, place captions and then embed the gallery in my "other" website.

I would have thought that this would be easy, like using an iframe html code. But using iframe with the gallery URL (as given with the Share button) makes the page go to Smugbug.

Is there a way??? I don't want a slideshow, just the gallery.....someone take me out of my misery..

You can allow iframe by following the instructions in this thread, but the main reason it is not allowed by default is that it can break cookies for things like the shopping cart. See the warning listed under FRAME-BREAK.

I gave up trying to link my photos ( to forums like POTN (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/))

I tried and tried and tried but if it has to be that complicated that I can't manage it after 3 attempts then - it's to complicated:dunno

Just been playing with it, and it does work, but it takes the whole page, not just the gallery. Since I'm short of real estate onthe screen, it will not work.

Too bad. It's a lot more work for me this way...
