Gallery customization in new SM - don't want to display keywords

neophyte · July 30, 2013

In trying to 'customize all galleries' in the new SM, when I mouse over the part of a gallery page in the Smugmug style, I see a box called "Area reserved for default Smugmug content." That area contains the standard Smugmug layout, with thumbnails on the left and the larger photo on the right, then the caption for the photo, then a list of keywords and a comment section.

I want to lose the keywords entirely and then drop the comments out lower on the page, but that whole part of the page has a 'locked' symbol and I don't seem to be able to get at it. I'm hoping I just haven't kicked the tires enough and I'm missing something, because the unveiling today claimed we'll be able to customize this thing down to the individual atom.

Don't want to list keywords under photos, and I just kind of want to bust open that "Area reserved for default Smugmug content" on principle. Could it be that one only sees the keywords when logged in? Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks very much.

I think you'd be looking at CSS to change that. the smug boxes are locked down.

Add a CSS block for all galleries with this in it:

.sm-tile-keywords {
  display: none;
}

Looks like that did the trick! Thanks!

I'll second that
Thanks here as well. I was wondering how to solve that problem myself.

Yeah - that helped a lot here as well. Many thanks!!

didn't work for me...

I tried adding css code to galleries content and it still didn't work. I then tried adding it to each individual gallery, ie SENIORS, and it still didn't work. I don't see the keywords on my pc but I see it on my iphone as it scrolls through my galleries.

Meliezza · August 1, 2013

sorry, it did work. I guess I was just a bit too fast. MAHALO!

That worked great, no more keywords.

Now how to get rid of the comments box?

In the Gallery Settings (you can get there by selecting the gallery in Organize mode, or when viewing a gallery choose Customize, Gallery Settings), turn off "Allow Comments" in the "Social" section.

Do you know a way to do it globally, or do you have to go into the settings for each gallery one by one?

You can select multiple galleries in the Organize tool, then click the Settings button at top left. That will allow you to make the change for all galleries in a given folder.

I don't know a way to do it globally.

Any css wisdom on how to also hide captions?

RichmondImage · August 2, 2013

I think you mean gallery description (not captions) but I am looking into it at the moment

jhofker · August 3, 2013

To get rid of comments, add this in a CSS block:

.sm-gallery-comments-container { display: none; }

To get rid of captions AND keywords, use this (Note that more may get hidden - I'm not sure yet what else gets placed in this box):

.sm-tile-info { display: none; }

To get rid of just captions (Note to Smugmug - it'd be swell if captions had a class like .sm-tile-caption) :

.sm-tile-info > p:first { display: none; }

To get rid of just keywords:

.sm-tile-keywords { display: none; }

You can easily combine these types of rules like the following, which hides all the commenting and keywords (note the use of a comma):

.sm-gallery-comments-container, .sm-tile-keywords { display: none; }

You can also have multiple rules in a single block - don't add a new CSS block for every single rule!

jhofker · August 3, 2013

It's worth mentioning that, for something like comments, this doesn't actually disable comments - if someone REALLY wants to and uses developer tools in their browser to unhide the comment stuff, they can still comment.

afarber · August 3, 2013

Very helpful. Thanks!

At what level should this be added? Is it sitewide or can it be specific to certainly folders and sub-folders?

This needs to be in it's own thread and hopefully made a sticky. Then new codes could be added and easily found. This is very good info. Thanks.

We need a specific selector to only show these when logged in.
Like Legacy site .notLoggedIn ..... {display:none;}

aschendel · August 6, 2013

I wouldn't be surprised if you could hook into the new .sm-user-loggedin class... It feels backwards but you might be able to use it for a similar purpose.

I would have to look at someones site that's unveiled to see if notloggedin is there. Surely they would
toggle that class name between logged in and logged out.

Edit: found one unveiled site
The only thing I could find in the page source is this.
loggedInUser=null
No class names anywhere for this part "logged".

aschendel · August 6, 2013

I think you could a pair of CSS rules to get what you want. I haven't tested it but this might be pretty close...

/* hide keywords */
.sm-tile-keywords
{
  display: none;
}

/* make sure this follows the "hide keywords" rule above */
.sm-user-loggedin .sm-tile-keywords
{
  display:block;
}

a.s.

happymatic · August 7, 2013

Worked! Thanks everybody! This is the code I used in a custom CSS block to hide keywords and captions. Wee!

.sm-tile-info, .sm-tile-keywords {
display: none;
}

canderson1229 · August 15, 2013

ok does anyone know how to get rid of the locked down "area reserved for smugmug content" block? I'd like it completely gone. Thanks!

Assuming you have not unveiled sounds like something on your legacy site. You'd have to go there to
work with it. All gallery content from legacy is locked in the sandbox.

Thanks for the response Allen, do you know what I need to do there?

I don't know, what's the link to the legacy site page and what do you want done?
You have not unveiled, correct?

The locked areas appear in specific contexts. For example, on a gallery page. You can't get rid of it from a gallery page, but you CAN do something other than a gallery page. For example, if you want to display a gallery with your own arrangement of text and pictures, you can just create a page, put either the multi-photo or single photo blocks there (as often as you like, arranged however you like), and tie them to what you want to display.

The gallery page (with its locked content) still exists, but if it's not linked to your home page it's not going to show up. You can even make it unlisted if you like (not private as then you can't get the images to appear).

Another locked area is on a folder display -- same principle, if you don't like that kind of display, don't link to folders, link to pages you format yourself.

Now formatting everything you want as individual pages works if you want a half dozen such -- if you have dozens or hundreds it's not viable.
