Hello All-

New Member here.

I've been following the co-branding tips here (excellent, BTW) and have customized my photo page.

One problem however. The private galleries now do no display the password prompt.

Can anyone tell me how to restore the prompts?

Many thanks.

Steve

Thanks. Good to be here.

I think I changed it correctly. It now displays in the homepage section of the public profile. That's what you meant, right?

Regards
Steve

yup - now, we just need to wait for one of the gurus to stop by (i'm an html/css moron) i'm sure you'll get some help soon standby

Once you have entered the password, the prompt will no longer appear since the computer has been cookied. Remove all smugmug.com cookies and it will reappear again.

Apologies for being dumb as a fencepost, but removing the cookies on my machine will make it possible for my sister in another state to see the private gallery password box on her machine?

Maybe I am being dumb, but this line:

Led me to believe that you were no longer being prompted to enter a password on some of your galleries. This is a result of either a) removing the passwords (having a gallery be private does NOT mean that it is password protected) or b) you have already entered the password on your computer (and thus we cookie your computer as having access)

So IF your gallery is passworded AND you send the link to your sister in another state she will have to enter the password. If the gallery is only marked as private, then she will not. Make sense?

Maybe I should rephrase and provide a detailed description of my problem.

- I login to smugmug with my email ID and Password
- I create a new Private Gallery and assign a password.
- I add all the photos I want to add.
- I email my sister telling her to see the, for instance, Birthday Party Gallery.
- She goes to smugmug, sees the gallery (and the private gallery indicator)
- She clicks on it but gets no password box nor can she see any photos.

I have no difficulties on my machine since I can always login with my email and password which gives me complete control over all the galleries without having to enter any individual gallery passwords.

Of course, if I logoff smugmug. I experience what my sister experiences.

Maybe if you go to my site: steve-montoya.smugmug.com and click on a private gallery you'll see what I mean. OTOH, if you DO get a password prompt, then I'm really stumped.

Also, thanks for your time. It is much appreciated.

It also could be that you set the id or class (sorry, I don't know much about css and don't know which one this is} that covers the text of the password prompt to either not display or display in the same color as the background on the page. I did the same thing trying to remove some other text that was covered by the same id / class, but don't recall which particular id/class it was - maybe JT can identify what that particular id/class is for you. Thanks to the tips here I found another way to do what I wanted, so I'm sure you'll find help soon.

ok i looked and don't see a password prompt for the private gallery. i think you torched some css that's needed to display it - i'm sure that jt can figure it out! (i hope i'm right)

LOL
when I first read your reply, I thought you wrote "you touched some css that's needed". Then I see that you wrote, "torched'.

I guess either word is suitable given my situation.

Simply remove the following and you will get your password box back:

.headlg {
display:none;
}

JT, are we supposed to have .headlg in the html anymore?
