Am I correct?

Category: Clients
Gallery Nicename: ClientExample12
Gallery Password: Client Example12
URL: www.alexandramanning.com/Clients/ClientExample12

Is there a way to disguise the URL? Otherwise, there is simply the option for a viewer to type a url into their address bar.

This is going to be where clients have access thought the navigation bar. I'm setting up that mock gallery for potential client examples. I have CSS overriding a variety of my portfolio settings. I'd like some different settings within the password-protected client pages than what are there for a portfolio page.

On this page:

I'd like /Clients to show all pw-protected galleries.
I'd like to use the lightbox, and photo ranking.
I'd like to use image comments not gallery comments.
--OR-- Use Facebook Comments for the photos
Take off the FB like button for these galleries in Category "Clients"

There is no way that I know of to hide the URL..this code is a low security option

I've tried following this and adding the code to bottom javascript, but I still can't figure out what I need to do. I want this http://www.butterflykissesphotography.me/Portraits to come up when Clients is clicked on the home page. And then the clients can click on their locked gallery if need be. What is the best way to do this? Thanks!

This is a lot more simple than you think ...just remove the client script from your bottom js box....then in your custom header box change the clients link to your portraits link:


from this:

<li><a href="/Clients" title="">Clients</a></li>

to this:

<li><a href="/Portraits" title="">Clients</a></li>

Great! Let me ask you this...is there a way to click clients and it only go to a page without the galleries? Just have it a page with clients galleries? (If that makes sense?!) If not, this will work.

Thanks!
Carmen

Ok, I've added the code as suggested in the beginning of the thread. Clients shows up in my nav bar but when I click it takes me to my home screen. Can you tell me what I might have wrong in the code?

Ahhh, nevermind, I figured out if I change it to Portfolio vs Portraits, it will put them in a different gallery!

In your custom header box, you need to change the link in your li:


From this:

<li><a href="http://www.connieandersonphotography.com">Clients</a></li>

to this:

<li><a href="/Clients">Clients</a></li>

You also have the code in your bottom java-script twice...which is making the "error" screen render twice :





.....you can change the wording on that screen in the code if you'd like.....

Also, if you choose to keep the smugmug password on the galleries, then your clients will have to enter a password twice....the code will hide all these galleries from visitors, it's a low security option...you set the "nicename" in the gallery settings and that becomes the password.

Thank you Joe! I have removed the passwords on the galleries and created new nicenames for them but I still can't access them when in visitor view. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

You are not supposed to be able to see them as a visitor...that's how it works...

Ok sorry maybe I'm not making myself understood lol. When I'm in visitor view and try to access a gallery with the nicename it won't let me in. That's what I'm trying to understand what I might be doing wrong. I've tried several of the galleries.

If I manipulate your CSS, I can see only one gallery in the "Clients" category, by looking at the URL the nicename for this gallery is: Clarks This gallery has a smugmug password on it. If you have any other galleries in this category, they must be public, not unlisted.

So when I enter the name Clarks into the pop-up login, it takes me directly to that gallery

Thanks! I think I got the hang of it now :)

Joe I'm not sure what happened but I did have this working but now my galleries are visible on my home page again. Can you tell me what I've done wrong?

Change your view from "galleries" to "Categories":





And be sure to test it in "visitor view"

Thanks Joe, soooo I have to remember to change the gallery view each time I leave my site ore it will show all those other galleries only meant for clients? I work in the other view alot so while I'm there those other galleries are seen by anyone viewing my site? If so I'm not sure that this will work for me :(

I have another silly question but how do you find the threads you have posted on when coming to dgrin? I have never been able to figure that out but I'm sure its right under my nose.

ok I'm realizing something else now which I don't like. Its creating an extra click through to my galleries. I know I don't like that set up. So let me ask this. I now have the clients gallery in my navbar. Is it possible to just create a page of password protected galleries there? I can work with that much better I think. Should I remove all that other code or is there a simple way to make this change?? Thanks so much Joe.

I followed the setup instructions posted from the first page, created 1 test gallery under Clients category and it seemed to be working. So from within Lightroom 4 I dragged 2 other galleries from a different category to the Clients category and republished. I also changed them from Private to Public.

When I enter the name of the gallery, such as "Lucy", which worked earlier, I now get the error for incorrect login. I had made a few changes to the code, which should have only been for text displayed, such as changing user password to Login Name.

My site is http://mrhoni-photography.smugmug.com

All features and tweeks I had put in the CSS, Bottom Javascript, etc was working as expected and still seems to work as expected. Just the Client Login went from working to not working.

Thanks

Log out of your account...be sure to clear your browser out...then try entering this: Jamaica


...it's working for me on my end...remember, the "nicename" is the password

Thanks for the help. Jamaica worked but the other 2 didn't. Original Nice Name was Test-Client and when I changed the Gallery name in Lightroom, I didn't change the Nice Name.

Glad it was something simple. Thanks.
