Add this to your CSS and log out and view....

.notLoggedIn .thumbnail_Clients {display:none}
.notLoggedIn .category_Clients 
#galleriesBox {display:none}

.notLoggedIn .category_Clients .emptyGallery {display:none}

.notLoggedIn .category_Clients 
#breadCrumbTrail {display:none}

First off. Thanks to Joe Allen for all his patience in the Client Log-In work. The purpose of this post is to ask for help fixing my client login page (not the pop-up version).

My site:
www.loveyourart.com

To access Client Login Screen:
In navigation bar, click on Galleries > Client Log-in

History of problem:
Followed J Allen's pop-up script and it was working great, but the iPhone/iPad issue was an issue, so then I followed the splash page log-in and it was perfect. Modified the CSS and it worked exactly as I wanted. Moved my galleries in Lightroom to the new /Clients category, synced with Smugmug and the links seemed to break. Tried to rebuild everything from scratch, but it is not working all the way.

Current State of problem:
1. Hierarchy of my workflow:
Main Category: Clients
Sub-category: Smith, John
Gallery01: Smith Beach Session 01
Gallery02: Smith Beach Session 02

Note: All galleries set to Public. No password.

2. In the Nav Bar, when I click on Galleries>Client Login, my splash screen opens. Here I should be able to enter the nicename of Sub-category (smith) that will display all of the galleries.
Problem:
I had this working before my Lightroom/Smug sync. Now when I enter the nicename (smith) while logged-in I am presented the gallery, but when I try to open, the link goes to a blank page. When I am not logged in, I am presented with the correct gallery, but when I click on the title, it also goes to a blank page.

Problem:
If I enter the wrong password, it goes to the gallery list, where before I had the 'Contact Photographer with the Contact form link & the opportunity to add custom text, 'Forgot Password, etc'

Sorry for the length of post, but trying to make it as clear and easy as possible to understand. I know that I am very close to solving this, just want to get it right.

Regards,
Mike Murphy, studio manager

Just a wild thought.

Thanks Allen, I will do some experimenting (more) and see what results. I was hoping to stick with the gallery niceNames as the password as it fit in my naming convention and made it easy for us and the client to remember. Will get it!

Has this worked for you? I didn't find a final post on what you were trying.

Can I throw a few questions your way? Once a client enters a password and has access, are they able to simply copy and paste the gallery url to access it in the future?

I have made a clients only webpage, is there a way I can have the log-in instructions on the landing page as opposed to having them click a link and then type in their password? Like have a short paragraph and then a box for them to type into on the home page?

try this in your bio box:

That made what I was hoping for, but the passwords do not work. I have made a test client gallery with the password set to "test".

you have to set the password in the source code by adding a line for every gallery:

/////////////////// Add new galleries and passwords below here /////////////////

if (pword=="green") { window.location="https://www.smugmug.com/"; done=1; }

if (pword=="yellow") { window.location="https://www.google.com/"; done=1; }

if (pword=="test3") { window.location="XXXXXX_XXXXX"; done=1; }

//////////////////// end galleries////////////////////////////////////////////////

Yes, yes. Sorry, I was/am using a different login code that looked up the gallery by its nice name and then just redirected. I guess I should have realized that before I posted in this thread.

I am pretty sure I have the code as listed in this post...

http://www.dgrin.com/showpost.php?p=...9&postcount=97

I've been using this code for many years with great success! Thanks J Allen.

Would you happen to know how to make this work with the mobile site? I currently have it disabled since it doesn't show the log-in password bar on the homepage - but instead lists a bunch of categories when it's enabled. Thanks.

Along with what marbles was asking. If a person uses a kindle, ipad, phone or mobile device the clients gallery shows up on the main screen. I would like for people to use mobile and view the site, but not show the clients gallery. Here is what I would like and someone tell me if it's possible or not :)

If i'm logged in I can get to the galleries by typing in http://www.kevinhaysphotography.com/clients

If I'm a visitor I "have" to click on <clients> on the menu. It pops up a password form for them to key in their password. If the password matches a password in a gallery (which they all have to be unique) then it will go to their gallery.

I do not want a visitor keying in "http://www.kevinhaysphotography.com/clients" and be presented with a listing of all my galleries.

Mobile version to not show clients galleries when they go to my index page.

Right now I have the client sub category set with a password along with the nicename being a password. They will go to clients on the menu, put in the nicename, then they have to put in their password I've set on the gallery also. This is so it doesn't show up if they do the /clients or use a mobile device.


ty!
