Gallery categories with gallery count and photo count

[stanf]

I'd like my "galleries" page to show my Gallery Categories with the number of galleries and the total photos in the galleries listed. I've seent this on other sites but haven't found how to do it. Any help will be sincerely appreciated.

Stan.Sounds like you have the galleries set to 'clean', this will remove the update information and descriptions.
Go to the <gallery tools> menu | customize gallery | under 'look & feel' select 'clean - no'.

Thanks for the quick reply. What I really want is to have categories listed, instead of galleries on my "Galleries" page. I want the Category names listed with the information as to the number of galleries and photos listed next to each Category.

This site will host pictures from various youth sporting events and I want them categorized by month/year shot. So there will be a category listing on the "Galleries" page for each month/year. When they click on the Category that matches the date of their event, they will see all the galleries of photos taken during that month.

Any idea how to accomplish this? Am I only not seeing categories now because all of our galleries are in the "April 2008" category and no other categories exists?

Thanks.

You have the box set to display by galleries. In the upper right corner click "display by category".

Thanks for the reply... worked like a charm. Sorry to have missed something so simple.

Now, when you click on April 2008 category, you see the breadcrumb at the top that says "smileforthemom - April 2008" I would prefer "smileforthemom" say "Galleries" Is this possible?

Also, I want to have an "About Us", "Fundraisers" and "Contact Us" pages and, on these pages, I don't want breadcrumbs at all. Can it be turned off for specific pages?

I have questions about how to make my informational text (with some graphics/photos where appropriate) pages, such as About Me, Fundraisers, Contact us, but I'll save those for another post.

Thanks again!

Take a look here (http://allen-steve.smugmug.com/gallery/3819841_ywRwQ), it can be expanded for any amount of text and photos.

This kind of worked. But it's not wrapping the text and now it shows the photo twice, once in the size I want it and another time down lower in a larger form. But, the text isn't wrapping and I chose to have the photo on the right but it's on the left.

What did I do wrong?

Thanks.

Is it your about gallery? Looks like you got the photo on the right. You don't have enough text to flow around the photo.

I played with it and made a few justments, shown in bold, see if trhis is any better.

.gallery_4740797 #albumDescription {
margin-top: 40px; /* gap from navbar at top */
background: none; /* background of description box */
padding: 20px 50px 40px 50px; /* top right bottom left */
} /* spacing inside box from edges */

.gallery_4740797 .myPhoto {
float: right; /* allows the text to flow to the right */
padding: 0 0 10px 40px; /* top right bottom left */
} /* spacing of text around photo */

.gallery_4740797 .myText {
font-family: Comic Sans MS, verdana;
font-size: 130%;
color: #aaa;
font-weight: normal;
text-align: justify;
}


.gallery_4740797 .myEmail {color: #aaa;}
