4 gallery thumbnails

[thepinkangel]

I know it must be easy and I know I changed it before, but I can't find the customization forum I used last time.

I recently added a Prints category and there is only 3 gallery thumbnails across instead of four like in my Portfolio or Clients sections. Is there a code I should add or remove. My code has gotten so crazy I can't keep track of things.

I also wanted to arrange my galleries to stay in one place instead of having the most recently updated move to the top. There is usually an option at the top to do this, but some part of code I put in must have removed it. Can I get it back, but only to change it and then it can be hidden again?

I'm sorry to ask multiple questions, but I've been searching for a few days for the answers.

I would also like to add a link list page to my site. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance!!! :D

This is a consequence of how smugmug handle 4 or less galleries vs. more than 4 galleries. As far as I know there is no way to change that.

The thumbnail sizes are 150x150 if there are 5 galleries or fewer in a category (or sub-category) and 100x100 if there are more than 5 galleries. Unfortunately, as cart said, there isn't any way to override this size at this point in time. I'd love to override it and always have big thumbs....

As far as losing the ability to arrange your galleries, that's usually on your home or galleries page. I can't imagine what in your customization would hide that, but try this as a workaround. Access your site in Firefox, and use webdev (it can be installed from http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/ if you don't have it). With webdev, you can remove your customizations temporarily by clearing the entries in the tab that shows your customizations (after you have selected "edit css" in the CSS toolbar dropdown). Make the change to order your galleries, then just uncheck "edit css" in webdev and you will have your customizations back. webdev doesn't save the changes permanently. No matter what you do though, you should always make sure that you have a current back-up copy of your customizations.

A link list page can be done as an html-only gallery. See number 42 in the customization FAQ for the CSS - http://www.smugmug.com/help/customize-faq.mg. You could also use any style gallery if you also want photos in that gallery - you could then put the links in either the gallery description or in the photo captions. For example, take a look at my gallery at http://www.denisegoldberg.com/gallery/3175657_h2V6S. It's a journal style gallery that includes links both within my galleries and to other sites.

In either case, you can use <a href= statements for the links.


Here's an example of the html that you can use for a link - but remove the *s, they are included only to keep the forum software from swallowing the html:<*a href="h*t*t*p://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/denise2007Maine">A coastline beckons</*a>

Holler back with any more questions!

thank you both!

I guess I can live with the large thumb :P

I had the webdev, but uninstalled it because I couldn't figure out how to use it! LOL I'll try again!

ok, sooooo...

I installed webdev and read the short tutorial. Went to my site clicked on my portfolio category and removed all CSS under my user name stylesheet and I still don't have the option to arrange my galleries.

is it possible I changed some sort of option?
