customizations not taking

[MtnJuniper]

I have tried to set up Shizam's slide show as well as changing "gallery comments" to read "guestbook comments" in my guest book... but no go. I was able to get a simple navbar up however.

I have serached the forum for help, trying to figure it out for myself and I've put in a good effort. But I am a very beginner grinner and I am stumped.

What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. :dunno

Your album id parameter for the slideshow is incorrect. You currently haveoParams.AlbumID = "http://birdsnest.smugmug.com/gallery/4317318_WLTXM#253123171 (http://birdsnest.smugmug.com/gallery/4317318_WLTXM#253123171)";

The AlbumID parameter is just the gallery number, not the url. So change it to oParams.AlbumID = '4317318';
Also, make sure that the gallery is not password protected.

Most of your navbar entries are pointing at nickname.smugmug.com. Even if you aren't ready to point to a specific gallery, you should at least point to your own galleries and not to a demo site.

Also - while your navbar looks like it is trying to point to a separate galleries page, you don't have the code to create that page in your CSS. Go to this tutorial - http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/2160039 - and make sure that you add the code in the sections The Galleries I, II, III, and IV.

Denise- thank you so much for your reply. I'll work on it tonight after the kiddies go to bed.

hmmm.

I put in the correct album ID as indicated, and still nothing. i even redid the whole thing AGAIN. the gallery isn't password protected, but my entire site is. Could that be the problem?

I haven't worked on my navbar yet.

is the album id this- 4306323_dz6xq, or just this- 4306323 ? I tired it both ways for the slide show and to modify the text for the guest book... nada.

Also, before i made the correction to the album id the bio box was large as if the slide show was supposed to play, but nothing happened. in the bar at the bottom of the screen it said- waiting for api.smugmug... something like that, as if the slideshow might be loading? but nothing ever happened.

since making the fix to the album id the bio box is small and it just says done in the bar at the bottom of the screen.

my homepage was done with the spoonman theme- could that be a problem?
