I currently have a splash page, but I would like to have a slideshow running on the second page of my site, what is now my portfolio page with my four portfolio galleries available underneath it. Can someone explain to me how to do this? Would this simply be like creating another gallery and then putting the code in the description for that gallery?

Hi Sheba,

If I'm understanding correctly, you have your normal landing page here: http://www.pictureyourworld.net which is fine, yes?

But you want to include a slideshow on your Portfolio page here: http://www.pictureyourworld.net/galleries ?

Not a problem! We'll be working from the tutorial here: http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/2160039 It looks like you already have most of this in place.

First a word about how the second homepage/separate gallery page hack works. This customization basically duplicates your homepage, making an exact copy of it, but calling it /galleries, then through CSS, you specifically include, or exclude elements from each page, your homepage, and this separate galleries page, to make them 'appear' different. They're really the same page, but the code is telling the browser that if accessed through the homepage show (these) things, but if accessed through the /gallery link, only show (these) things.

With that said, all you need to do is enable the biobox, then follow the tutorial above for adding a slideshow to your biobox area. Through CSS customization, you'll then want to EXCLUDE the biobox slideshow from your homepage, and INCLUDE it on your /galleries page.

1) In your Control Panel>Customize>Site-wide customization, CSS box change this:

 .featured #bioBox,
.homepage #popularPhotos,
.homepage #featuredBox,
.galleries #keywordsBox,
.galleries #bioBox,
.homepage #keywordsBox,
.galleries #popularPhotos,
.galleries #featuredBox,
.homepage #galleriesBox,
.homepage #categoriesBox {
display: none;
}

to this:

 .featured #bioBox,
.homepage #popularPhotos,
.homepage #featuredBox,
.galleries #keywordsBox,
.homepage #bioBox,
.homepage #keywordsBox,
.galleries #popularPhotos,
.galleries #featuredBox,
.homepage #galleriesBox,
.homepage #categoriesBox {
display: none;
}

which will EXclude the biobox from your homepage. Then change this:

 .featured #keywordsBox,
.featured #popularPhotos,
.featured #featuredBox,
.galleries #galleriesBox,
.galleries #categoriesBox {
display: block;
}

to this:

 .featured #keywordsBox,
.featured #popularPhotos,
.featured #featuredBox,
.galleries #galleriesBox,
.galleries #categoriesBox,
.galleries #bioBox {
display: block;
}

forcing the biobox to be displayed on your galleries page.

2) From your homepage, click on the Homepage Layout button, and toggle the Bio on.

3) Visit your /galleries page, and edit the bio, and put in the code for your new slideshow according to the slideshow tutorial http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/3624147 . Done!

Let us know if you have any problems or if I missed anything.

It looks the slideshow is still on homepage and not the galleries page. I would like to block it from the home page, but show it on the galleries page. Please assist. Thanks

I've had a look and I'm not seeing it on either page. Can you reenable your bio so we can have a look?

If you want slideshows on both the homepage and galleries but different ones see this thread.
