Change Username

Nitro · January 29, 2006

I am in the process of setting up ipscaction.smugmug.com.

Can I get my username changed to "IPSC Action" instead of "ipscaction" so it show's up correctly on my home page?

Also, I would like to replace the smugmug logo with my own and I tried the stylesheet example but it's not working. The url to the logo is http://nitrographix.com/ipscaction/logo.gif

Thanks in advance ...

Control Panel>account settings and you can do it yourself

Are you trying to CHANGE the smugmug logo or remove it and have your own header?

I changed it by putting IPSC in the first name field and Action in the last name field. I was hoping to do it in the nickname field instead but this will work fine.

I am trying to change the smugmug logo. I want to keep everything else the way it is except replace the logo with mine.

Thanks ....

Still no luck Andy. Is there a missing open parenthesis and single quote in front of the first http? I put it in but still no luck. I uploaded the logo to one of the galleries. Do I need to be using the url for the gallery instead?

Thanks ...

Nitro,

replace what Andy told you with this...

.smuglogo {
background: url("http://nickname.smugmug.com/photos/XXXXXXX-O.jpg") no-repeat !important;
}

Hey David,

Well, I'm starting to get somewhere. It finally placed the logo but it placed it behind the smugmug logo which is still there.

Just have to get rid of the smugmug logo and I should be set.

Thanks ...

My bet is that you're only seeing both in IE. That's because IE is odd. Change the .smuglogo tag to this and it should work (don't ask me why IE is doing this).

.smuglogo {
background: url("http://nickname.smugmug.com/photos/XXXXXXX-O.jpg") no-repeat;
_filter:;
}

Sorry Mike, no go. Still putting the logo behind the smugmug logo. Just to verify, the only tag I have in the box is the one above. Initially Andy had me put two different tags in the box.

Anybody have any suggestions??

I just need my logo on each page instead of the SmugMug logo.

Thanks in advance ...

Fixed, sort of. Works on Safari and Firefox (Mac and PC). But NOT on IE. Need an IE fix.

I went back to this:

.smuglogo {
background: url("http://ipscaction.smugmug.com/photos/54348450-Th.gif") no-repeat !important;
}

and put this in your body tag:

add the highlighted for IE (should work..not tested tho)

.smuglogo {

Swapping the SmugMug Logo with your own (and link, too!)
DEVbobo gave me this and it's now good in Safari, FF: Mac; IE6 and FF: Windows.

CSS:

.smuglogo {
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(enabled=true, sizingMethod=scale src='http://ipscaction.smugmug.com/photos/54348450-Th.gif') !important;
}
.smuglogo[class] {
background: url(http://ipscaction.smugmug.com/photos/54348450-Th.gif) no-repeat !important;
}

JAVASCRIPT

onload = changeHomelink;
function changeHomelink () {
document.getElementById('homelink').href = 'http://www.ipscaction.com';
}

and this is in body tag:
<body onload="changeHomelink();">

Hey Lee,

This would be the cleanest solution, however with this method, the logo disappears onmouseover in IE.

thx for the test.

no assuming for IE i guess.

Mike Lane · February 1, 2006

Can I just say that the !important rule is generally not required for your smugmug cusotmizations. Additionally due to the odd handling of it by IE6, it is best to avoid it if you don't need it. Our customizations have the benefit of being the last in the source except for the themes. In the event that a theme is overriding your customizations, you can override the theme with specificity 99% of the time. My advice is that if you are using !important in your CSS, don't and if you have !important rules in your CSS remove them.

If you are running into specificity issues, post a question about it and I'll help you out.

Thank You very much guys !! I appreciate the help. It looks great. Now I hate to be a pain in the ... but if I want the logo on each gallery page, do I duplicate the "Sand" theme which is what I'm using and make it a custom theme with the CSS code included?

Thanks again ...

control panel>themes choose Sand as your all pages theme

Nitro · February 2, 2006

Thanks Andy,

I had that set previously but the logo was not showing up in the gallery. Further research revealed I had to uncheck "Hide Owner" to see the customization in the galleries.

One last question hopefully, the logo I uploaded to one of the galleries, how can I remove it from the gallery and still have it available in the system for the customization? If I delete it from the gallery, does it delete from the system?

Thanks for all your help ....

You MUST leave that logo on your site. Keep it in a private gallery - name the gallery Site Files

Nickname vs Domain Name
Hi there,

My domain name is richpics.co.nz but my current nickname on smugmug is KiwiLight. I would like to align the two so that when I send a link etc it is to my domain name rather than kiwilight.smugmug etc etc.

I tried changing my nickname to richpics but someone had already taken that name =(

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Rich
