Copy the script that you inserted into your gallery description, and paste it into your bottom java-script box......then on your nav-bar, change the client log-in link to this:

<li><a href="#" id="MY_LINK_ID">Client Log In</a></li>

I copied the code, but left in the class for CSS formatting. However, after inputting the smartname and clicking the button, nothing happens. A test value is cooley092511.

I decided to try this. It was a no go for me. I copied the script in the gallery description, placed it in my bottom JS and then I placed this code

<li><a href="#" id="MY_LINK_ID">Client Log In</a></li>

in my footer.

Hey guys, im working on getting this more simplified and user friendly. Seems to be a lot of interest in this. So stay tuned while I get a tutorial around.

Thanks! That would be great.

Is there a way to get the password box to work with Categories so the correct log-in will send them to all of the galleries within a certain category or Events page?

I'm a bit lost with all this.
Some posts mention the info is in post #50, but that's been removed.
Could someone please point me in the right direction for the information to make this work?

Cheers.

I believe this code is being reassessed to provide optimal performance so stay tuned for further coding updates. I know I'm looking forward to it this feature!

Hi, I have very limited knowledge about codes, but I followed exactly what J Allen posted here. It worked great. I have used it for 2 clients so far and seems to be working ok. I haven't done extensive research on multiple browsers and all that, so please let me know if you are not able to get in.

Any chance the steps to accomplish this are anywhere handy yet? I know that J Allen was working on building a tutorial and since the original postings, pieces of the process have been removed...

I'm trying to piece this together myself, but there have been so many edits to the process through the thread and pieces removed I'm sure I have no idea how this works now. Is the password the subcategory, the gallery name, or...? *brain fried*

Is there an updated thread that I'm not finding? Any help would be fantastic. I have the beginning of this on my trial here: http://suzannecgd.smugmug.com/Other/...0427357_htmGGW

You need to make a new category and name it exactly this: Clients


Then change the link in your navigation from this:


http://suzannecgd.smugmug.com/Other/...0427357_htmGGW



To This:


http://suzannecgd.smugmug.com/Clients




Then add this to your bottom java-script box:

YE.onDOMReady(function(){clientLogin(Sizzle('a[href=/Clients]')[0],'Clients')});function clientLogin(trigger,category){var clDialog=new YAHOO.widget.Panel("clDialog",{width:"325px",fixedcenter:true,zIndex:100,constraintovikrport:true,underlay:"shadow",modal:true,close:true,visible:false,draggable:false,effect:{effect:YAHOO.widget.ContainerEffect.FADE,duration:.7}});clDialog.setHeader("<h1>Client Login</h1><p>Please enter your client login to continue.</p>");clDialog.setBody('<label>client login : </label><input id="clUsername" type="text" />');clDialog.setFooter('<input id="clLoginButton" type="button" value="submit" />');clDialog.render(document.body);YE.addListener(trigger,'click',function(e){YE.preventDefault(e);clDialog.show()});YE.addListener('clLoginButton','click',function(e){var value=YD.get('clUsername').value;if(value!=''){var url='/'+category+'/'+value;window.location.href=url}else{alert('Please enter your username to continue.')}})};

Post back if you run into any snags.....script works by looking for nicename in the url, which you set in the gallery settings......only works for the category Clients

This is such a great customization, the only thing I would caution those using it is to note this is not foolproof and doesn't replace a true password protection like gallery password protection from smugmug. It is very easy to get into all the galleries if this is the only method you use to protect them.

As a means to obscure the clients galleries and make your site appear more elegant and secure it's great. Myself, I will use it as a means for the client to enter the gallery name (which I will protect with a smugmug gallery password, so they are prompted for the password as well).

I was thinking about adding it to my site, but I will wait for the tutorial to put it in action.

Thanks JAllen, awesome work....mad skills!

Ok, sorry so I lied, I had a little free time and decided what the heck, so I did it. Take a look at my site: http://www.rbphotography.info

Click on the Log in link on the top navigation. Enter the following gallery name: test. When you are prompted for a password, it is: testy.

Let me know what you guys think, this works real well. It was pieced together by looking at a couple of sites. Hey JAllen, if you need help setting up the tut, hit me up, sounds like a lot of folks are anxious to get this

I must be have been staring at my SM too long... I was attempting to do what you are instructing Suzanne to do, but I can't for the life of me create a gallery that is simply (for example) "http://eclecticallyforyou.smugmug.com/Clients" because you are required to title and categorize your galleries, so at the best I can do: http://eclecticallyforyou.smugmug.com/Clients/Clients which, then shows up empty and mentions possible "unlisted" galleries once checked as not logged in. Or with the entire address: http://eclecticallyforyou.smugmug.co...0506231_KtbWxS, you do get to my login page, but that's not a "NiceName." What am I missing?

You need to make a category named: Clients

Okay, so now I'm more confused. :( Sorry. I need these galleries to be unlisted/locked down, private. I copied/pasted all of the code that you provided me. I made one gallery temporarily public. On trial, all that came up when clicking on the link was "Clients Albums." No actual thumbnails. Also, I had created a login "gallery" from the beginning of this thread and that is a gallery within the Clients category. So no login works. The login box is at http://eclecticallyforyou.smugmug.co...0506231_KtbWxS

Help?

Did you make a test gallery with pictures....and is this gallery public and under the category "Clients"?


If yes, post a direct link to your test gallery
