Make the subcategories gallery titles disappear

[sherman]

Hi All,

As above on my website (http://www.ashspix.com) is it possible to make the subcategory titles hidden so you can't see their name? or not?
Also, how do you make the gallery name appear, so you know what pictures you're looking at? Is it possible to get this name in the page title that is at the top of you browser, instead of it saying "Ash's Pix - powered by smugmug"?


thanks,
Ash

The gallery name occurs by default in the breadcrumb. You've turned that off... What I've done on my page is to put the gallery title at the beginning of the gallery description.

The name in the page title can be changed. There are a couple of versions of the code to do this in this thread - http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=25861. Gary Glass has placed his version in the wiki at http://wiki.smugmug.com/display/SmugMug/Titlebar+Customizer. I use a different version of the code, available in this post - http://www.dgrin.com/showpost.php?p=546098&postcount=76.

On your subcategories question, I don't know if this what's you're looking for, but that a look at this thread - http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=71978.

Thanks for all of that, it helped a lot and have already implemented it all....now I have one last question. How do you get the slideshow button to appear in the galleries, it used to but I think that there is some kind of coding in my navbar or something that has mucked around with it.

It still shows in the 'owner's view' though.

Having said that when you try to go into an option whereby the menu overlaps and you try and click on that the menu disappears. It happens in the circle that I've drawn in the image (http://www.ashspix.com/photos/304523570_r4q2H-X2.jpg). Do you know why this happens or how to fix it?

Thanks,
Ash

One last thing, it should be an easy question. how do you remove the gallery categories that you have from the homepage? I'm guessing that there is something you can click somewhere...but I don't know where it is.

Thanks, once again, ash

how do you remove the gallery categories that you have from the homepage?
To remove the gallery categories from your homepage, go to this tutorial - http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/2160039 - and follow the instructions in the entries The Galleries, Page I and II. You already have the navbar on your site, so you don't need that piece of the tutorial.

The slideshow button is part of the breadcrumb entry. Here's the code I use on my site to hide the breadcrumb but still show the slideshow button:

/* ---- always show breadcrumb when logged in ---- */
#breadcrumb {visibility: hidden;}
.loggedIn #breadcrumb {
visibility: visible;
}
#altViews {
visibility: visible;
}


I initially had it as display: none; - but that doesn't allow the button to show. Using visibility instead of display does work though.

...when you try to go into an option whereby the menu overlaps and you try and click on that the menu disappears.
Unfortunately, I haven't experimented with drop-down navbars at all, so I can't help with this one. You might want to post it in the navbar sticky (at http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=48349) though, it will probably get better attention there.

Ok I've done all of that and posted in the other thread, that was nearly what i was looking for but i'd like to remove the share button and only have the slideshow button viewable....but i'd like to be able to use the share options in owner mode.
So what i'd like is other words is to view all options in owners view and use the share options, but i don't want other people to see the share button.
is this possible? if it is would the coding have something to do with 'alt views'?

thanks for all your help to date,
ash

Add this to your CSS:
.share_button {
display: none;
}
.loggedIn .share_button {
display: block;

thank-you very much for all of your help!!!!!!!:clap

lolz...it seems you keep of think of more things to do to your website, i just thought of another, is it possible to make my footer smaller, so it's barely noticeable but still readable?

thanks for you all help once again:thumb

It's pretty small right now. The only thing you can really do is remove the login/out and shopping cart links. Making it barely noticeable seems - to me at least - to be flaunting the terms of your agreement with smugmug.

See # 17 in the advanced customization FAQ for help removing pieces of the footer - http://www.smugmug.com/help/customize-faq.
