Why can't I find my bio box?

[jennievii]

I'm trying to get my slideshow up and running again with the new code that needs to go in my bio box, but this box is nowhere to be found! I vaguely remember not wanting/needing a bio when I originally set up my website. Is there a chance that I deleted it or something? Does it have some other title on it besides "bio?" Please spell out instructions on where to find in as simple steps as possible. Thank you!

Hi Jennie! Go to your control panel, homepage tab. Your bio is tucked away there, hiding from your visitors. Click the link there, "show" and it'll be on your homepage :thumb

Thanks for the speedy reply. When I go to the homepage tab, I don't see bio anywhere on the page. I clicked on the link you provided for additional help and it says there are up to 9 things that can be on the homepage. I only have 7 listed. Am I somehow missing something right in front of my eyes? Is there a way to get to a second page of homepage options that I'm missing? :dunno

If it's not there on that control panel homepage tab page it's probably enabled
and just hidden. Can you post a link to your site so we can look thru your
code and see what's the culprit?

Sorry - I meant to do that: www.jenniferklemmphotography.com

Thanks for taking a look at it for me.

Your bioBox is on the homepage. Go into your control panel under the settings tab and look for this.
bio: change
You can edit it there.

OK, I found that and put in the code from here: http://wiki.smugmug.com/display/SmugMug/Flash+Slideshow
I made sure I changed the gallery number. I also made sure that the gallery is not password protected and ext. links is set to yes. Is there something that I need to take out from the original code for the slideshow that I originally had up and running? Is that interferring somehow? When I open the site in Internet Explorer instead of Firefox, it says that the page is "done, but with errors on the page" at the bottom of the window. Also, should there still be a way to add my bio to my homepage under the homepage tab in the control panel? It is not listed as one of the things to possibly show or hide, so I don't know how the slideshow could appear on the homepage in that case.

I see your new show code in your page source but not the html. My guess is
it is not between html tags.


<html>
<script>
var ssConfig = {
AlbumID: '2481999',
newWindow: 'false',
transparent: 'true',
splash: 'http://www.smugmug.com/img/ria/ShizamSlides/smugmug_black.png',
showLogo: 'false',
clickUrl: 'http://www.smugmug.com',
showThumbs: 'true',
showButtons: 'true',
crossFadeSpeed: '350'
};

SM.flash.insertSlideshow(600, 600, ssConfig, 'transparent');
</script>
</html>

[jennievii]

Hmmm...They are included in the code. Below is exactly what I put in the box:
<html>
********>
var ssConfig = {
AlbumID: '2481999',
newWindow: 'false',
transparent: 'true',
splash: 'http://www.smugmug.com/img/ria/ShizamSlides/smugmug_black.png',
showLogo: 'false',
clickUrl: 'http://www.smugmug.com',
showThumbs: 'true',
showButtons: 'true',
crossFadeSpeed: '350'
};

SM.flash.insertSlideshow(600, 600, ssConfig, 'transparent');
</********
</html>

[jennievii]

I don't know what the ********* mean. They're not in the box originally.

[Allen]

I don't know what the ********* mean. They're not in the box originally. The forum will not put <script> or </script> on the page and show those ****** instead. I fool it by bolding the s and because of the bold tags it doesn't see it.

<script>
</script>

It looks like this to the forum software without the spaces.
< [ b ] s [ / b ]cript >

********> is really <script>
</******** is really </script>


I think your javascript is hung on the old script code and the one in your bio
is not firing. Remove this old show code from your footer.

<script type="text/javascript">
/* required slideshow variables */
slideshowContainerId = "bioBox";
slideshowUrl = "http://jenniferklemm.smugmug.com/photos/sspopup.mg?AlbumID=2481999";

/* optional slideshow variables */
/* see properties section */
slideHeight="400";
slideWidth="640";

if (YD.hasClass(document.body,'homepage') && !YD.hasClass(document.body,'galleries'))
loadSlideshow ();
</script>

Thank you SOOO very much! It is up and running now. I'm so relieved to see it back there. :ivar

Is there any way to center it on the page? It's off-center in Firefox and Internet Explorer. Is it just because of my computer's resolution and would look centered on other people's computers?

Thanks again for your help! :bow

Sure is, add this to your CSS.

#userBio {text-align: center;}
