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!

Use a custom banner for an Event
Hi there,

I am wondering if there's a way to use a custom banner for an Event page. I have several banners that I use for different categories, but when I add the galleries to an Event, the banner changes back to my default banner. I would like to organize 6-8 galleries (all from the same category) into a single Event to send to my clients, but I need the appropriate category banner to show.

Also, along the same lines, how can I change the banner on the "Password Request" page?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I managed to do it by adding a custom header to the specific event (using .event-page.tempClass.EventName) so it will work for now, but I would really like to be able to set this header for all events under the same category. Does anyone know if there's a way to do that so that I don't end up with a long list of individual events in my CSS?

So the events are not actually tied to a category. They are a separate thing. So even if the event is using galleries from a certain category the event page will need to have the header specified for it.

This is a problem for me; I have a lot of CSS differentiating my homepage (www.ericscottphotography.com) from my wedding category (www.ericscottphotography.com/weddings).

I only use events for weddings but this isn't the default header on my site. Each time I create a new event I have to go into my CSS and add more than 20 individual lines of code for the individual event page. I created an event page for a wedding here: http://www.ericscottphotography.com/.../4bPc6fPhI2Onk

Search my CSS for "Julia-and-Mike" and you'll see how much customization this took - is there an easier way??

The easiest way to do something like that would be to just modify each of those lines to add the event instead of making a new 20 lines. But for what you are wanting you could also create something for all event pages, instead of just one if all your events are created for weddings. Then every event will take that customization and you don't have to specify code for a new one each time you create an event

Thanks for the quick response. Making code so this customization applied to *all* events is exactly what I need - what is the CSS I need to target all events? I've tried .category_Event and _Events with no luck.

I appreciate the help!

All of my non-wedding galleries are hidden behind this one login. I set it up with the info from this thread: http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?...ferrerid=35884

Back on topic, anyone know how I can set up a custom banner for all of my events (to match the /wedding category).

Thanks!

Can't really work on the banner without seeing one of the event pages.

Hi Allen,

I don't really need work on the banner, I just need to know the CSS code to target all event pages.

I tried .category_Event with no success.

My custom header is currently live in this event gallery http://www.ericscottphotography.com/.../4bPc6fPhI2Onk password:Loafie.
However, I had to link to the individual gallery .event-page.tempClass.Julia-and-Mike for every CSS edit. I don't want to have to do this for every new event I post but would like to replace this with code that targets all of the event galleries.

Thanks for your help,

Does this work for all event pages?
Code:
.event-page #myGeneralLogo {display:none;}
.event-page #myWeddingLogo {
    display: block;
    width: 430px;
    height: 40px;
    margin: 0;
    background: url(/photos/i-SzVtNDn/0/O/i-SzVtNDn.jpg) no-repeat;
    background-size: 430px 40px;
}
Remove the extra red }

#WeddingInfoPhoto { background-image: url(/photos/i-2f9PkW9/0/O/i-2f9PkW9.jpg);
}
}
