Tutorials

Ever find yourself wondering just how someone managed to create an image using different effects?

Here are three simple tutorials we hope will encourage you to try something new.

The Hot Seat

A lifelong interest in landscape photography has led Eyal Oren to make a study of his adopted hometown of Marblehead, MA. As you can see, his dedication is paying off!

Africa!

Dgrinners Harryb, Pathfinder, and others joined Andy Williams and Marc Muench on Safari in East Africa recently. Here are some awesome threads to check out!

Sad a little bit of help needed...please
Hi,
can anyone help??
can someone tell me how I would get my pages looking like this http://www.moonriverphotography.com

I would like the Banner on the home page to be on everypage but with sub text displaying the page you are on...Galleries, Contact etc
also for the link bar to be the same on everypage

so Home Page would just be Banner, Link Bar and then slideshow (without buttons, arrows etc) I tried the slide show thing but it was off centre and displayed arrows left & right if you hover over it, I would also like to have the slideshow clickable which goes to the galleries page
How do I do this??

also I add extra pages as galleries right?
I have added a Gallery Page (for selling images) and a portfolio just to show
my work (but on the portfolio page I cannot put these images into categories, it just addes all photos into 1 page) How do I add categories into my portfolio page?

my url is http://nickhaigh.smugmug.com/ or www.nickhaigh.net

thanks for your time to help

Nick

Link to the category in your navbar.
http://www.nickhaigh.net/Portfolio
like this

<div id="navcontainer">
<ul>
<li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="/gallery/5679090_Erq4o">About Me</a></li>
<li><a href="/galleries">Galleries</a></li>
<li><a href="/Portfolio">Portfolio</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

Then make all your galleries under the Portfolio category public.
The Portfolio category page will show all the sub-cats like Portraiture but
only if the galleries are public.

Put this show code in. Change the 'XXXXXX', to your source gallery number.
Add one of your photos for the splash or remove the line for no splash.
Code:
  <html>
<script>
var ssConfig = {
    AlbumID: 'XXXXXX',
    newWindow: 'false',
    transparent: 'true',
    splash: '/photos/xxxxxxxxx_xxxxx-M.jpg',
    showLogo: 'false',
    clickUrl: '/galleries',
    showThumbs: 'false',
    showButtons: 'false',
    crossFadeSpeed: '350'
};

SM.flash.insertSlideshow(600, 600, ssConfig, 'transparent');
</script>
</html>
Add to CSS to center show.

#userBio {text-align: center !important}

EDIT:
ok, sorted the big black square, but now I have a slideshow playing on everypage and Not Centred (this is not what I wanted), it plays on the left side not in the centre but I did add the script
I just want 'Portraiture' to show up in 'Portfolio' not in Galleries
and to have a slideshow of the 'Galleries' on just the Homepage.


Thanks, I did what you said but now I have a big black square on every page, so I obviously done something wrong!!!

Also when I upload photos they automatically save into 'Galleries' rather than where I specify like in 'Portfolio' so now I have Portraiture photos in both 'Galleries' & 'Portfolio' I have screwed up somewhere.


i'm gonna give up, no way am I paying £78 a year for this...

On your galleries page set the galleries box to display by category.

Put this in your footer javascript and it will hide the Portfolio category from
the galleries page.
Code:
      <!-- Hide Categories -->
function delCategory() {
  re = /\/(Portfolio)$/;

  var oList = YD.getElementsByClassName('miniBox', 'div', this);

  for (i = 0; i < oList.length; i++) {
    if (re.test(oList[i].getElementsByTagName('a')[0].href))
      oList[i].parentNode.removeChild(oList[i]);
  }
}
YE.onContentReady('categoriesBox', delCategory);
     <!-- End Hide Categories -->
Did you put the show code in your biobox and not your header? Only way I
can imagine it on every page. This already in your CSS should hide it on the
galleries page.

.galleries #bioBox {
display: none;
}

This added to CSS will center the show.

#userBio {text-align: center !important}

Look in your control panel under the settings tab for Bio: change and add
some text to active it on our homepage. You can then edit it there.

Don't start from scratch, easier to fix something if the code is there, any part
of it, correct or not. Will look.

Look under the homepage tab in your control panel and click show for your bio if there.

ok, i've put everything back to the way it was, then added everything you have said so far...

have figured out how to show 'Bio'
thanks very much for your help, really appreciate it

the slideshow plays on the front page which is great, but it also plays in the 'Galleries' page!!

and the 'Portraiture' gallery still shows up in both 'Portfolio' & 'Galleries' I want to hide it from the 'Galleries Page?

Add this to CSS

.galleries #bioBox {display: none;}

You are displaying by gallery instead of category on the galleries page. Change to display by category and the Portfolio category will no show.

Thank you very much, all seems fine now

so what would I need to do to add another Category to the 'Portfolio' page and display only in that page?
just for future refrence so I won't screw up again

Thanks again

The 'Portfolio' page is the page displaying the Portfolio category. Add more
sub-categories and/or galleries to the Portfolio category and they will show
only there.

'Galleries' is just a browse page showing your categories with public galleries.
You upload to individual galleries.

All public galleries will show on the galleries page under one of the categories
shown or a new category if you add it. Anything added to a gallery or new
gallery under the portfolio category will not show. Use the direct link to your
Portfolio in the navbar to show those.

Just looked and you created a category named Galleries. You can not use that name
because of the galleries page uses it. So you'll have to delete that category or in your
control panel rename the "Galleries" category to "myGalleries" and it should work and
show on the galleries page.
