I would like to setup my site as follows:

On section with galleries of all my photoshoots/trips/sessions etc. (currently called GALLERIES). This can be done with the standard features of SM.

Another section (currently called THEMES) where I want to have a lot of galleries based on keywords like people, architecture, greece, crete, Costa-Rica, Rituals, train ..... I would llike these to be generated from the keywords with the images.
Preferably I would also like a possibility for the visitor of my site to select one of the available keywords.
So in short, a number (larger than 4?) of fixed keyword selected galleries and if possible one gallery where the user can select a keyword.

I have been making some progress with this on my site (www.kooreman.smugmug.com (http://www.kooreman.smugmug.com)) but am now stuck at the point where I want to make more than one featured gallery.
Is there any guru who can help me with this concept?

I am no SM specialist at all.

Hey Jan,

Take a look at your Themes link now :) Both People and Flowers keyworded featured galleries are there. You were very close in your code. There were just a couple of errors that I fixed. To add additional galleries, copy this part of the code in your header JS section:

// FLOWER selection
addKeywordFeatured('Flowers', 'A selection of flower images', 'flower', 'http://Kooreman.smugmug.com/photos/290980400_3yMEU-Th.jpg');

Be sure to keep all of the quote marks where they are, etc., and make sure that the keyword is identical to how you have keyworded your photos. You had flowers without any quotes and your keyword is flower. You will likely want to change the thumbnail for that particular gallery, too.

I hope this helps!

Barb,

That's great. I looked at the code a lot, installed the webdevthing with Firefox but still could not find it. Great that we have experts.
Thanks again.

Barb,
Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap :ivar :D
I got it to work just before leaving for work this morning. Silly I looked over the quotes and on the other side glad to hear that my logic basically worked and all was just down to a syntax error.
Now I can start filling the DB with all sorts of images to complete the thing.
Thanks again:bow , and I exect we will meet again when I get to some more features
