Any tips? Thanks!!

Which navbar entry is supposed to go to the galleries page?

For example this gallery http://cosgravestudios.smugmug.com/N...37747706_d3idu
the links point to Nature, and then to Cosgrave Studios (which leads to the home page), I'd like it to point to Galleries instead. I had done this before, but don't know what I did to change it. :(

I don't have a script for modifying the category. There is a script to change the top level of the breadcrumb to point to galleries which often works because you already have Home link in your navbar. See customization #1 here if you want that.

Using that as a guide I was able to read through and find the code I needed to put in my bottom java script! I've posted it below in case anyone else needs this. thanks!

//Redirect to second home page for galleries// function hasPath(sPath) { re = new RegExp("\/" + sPath + "(\/|$)"); return re.test(window.location) } if (hasPath("galleries")) YD.addClass(document.body, "galleries"); // // Script to change the breadcrumb link to your homepage to point to your galleries page instead of your slideshow // It also changes that link to say "Galleries" instead of your user name function AdjustBreadcrumb() { // there are something like six different forms of the breadcrumb including search and keyword and date and communities, categories and galleries that we have to make this work for var tags = YD.getElementsByClassName("nav", "a", this); // get all the <a> tags with class "nav" var filteredTags = new Array; // filter out any that aren't at the top level in the breadCrumbTrail (this gets rid of the relatedDate tags) for (var i in tags) { if (tags[i].parentNode == this) { filteredTags.push(tags[i]); } } if (filteredTags.length == 0) { return; } // default to targeting the first filtered tag var targetTag = filteredTags[0]; // see if we have a community here if (filteredTags.length > 1) { // if we have a community here, then the user top level is in the 2nd position if (filteredTags[0].href.search(/\/community\//) != -1) { targetTag = filteredTags[1]; } } // make sure URL ends with a slash var str = targetTag.href; if (str.search(/\/$/) == -1) { str += "/"; } str +="galleries"; targetTag.href = str; targetTag.innerHTML = "Galleries"; } YE.onContentReady("breadCrumbTrail", AdjustBreadcrumb);

I'm still having problems with the Event pages redirecting back to the home page, put I've looked and don't see a fix for that.

I set this code up as shown and the top breadcrumb does now say "Galleries", but the link takes me to my Home page. I entered the galleries URL http://www.tyfiyn.com/galleries and that also takes me to my Home page. Therefore, I don't think there is a problem with how I have entered this code, but my direct link to my galleries doesn't work. Any ideas how/why that would happen?

Thanks.

It doesn't look to me like you've installed the customization to have a separate galleries page (it doesn't come built-in). To install it, go here and follow the steps The Galleries Page I and The Galleries Page II.

John,

I added the code from the link you posted, both steps, and I still do not have a linkable "galleries" setting. That is, http://tyfiyn.com/galleries resolves to my home page as does the topmost breadcrumb named Galleries.

I removed the few other bits of code I had on my Advanced Site-wide Customization screen to avoid any interference or complications.

Would you please see if you can determine what the problem is?

Thanks,

Eric

Several issues:

1) Your custom domain is not configured correctly. It appears to be using a frameset which will not work correctly on Smugmug. See http://www.smugmug.com/help/power-custom-domain for proper setup or contact the help desk and they can help you get it right.

2) Go to the homepage layout button on the homepage and enable your galleries for display.

3) Add this part in red to your existing CSS:

.galleries #slideshowBox,
.galleries #bioBox {
display: none;
}

This script has nothing to do with the home button in your navbar. If you want to change where that links take you, then go into your custom header and modify the link for the Home button. That's 100% in your control to edit the link to whatever you want. Right now you have it set to the top level of your site which is your slideshow. I don't know why you'd want to change it to your galleries page though because you already have a Galleries link in your navbar.

This script changes the top level of the breadcrumb which you appear to have hidden on your site. The breadcrumb is the navigation aid that looks like this:

Home > Landscapes > Kenya > Masai Mara

Thanks John, I knew it would be obvious to someone else. Sometimes I can't see the frost for the trees

Thank you for this Heather! John's code is always brilliant, but sometimes I just can't "see" it right....
Works perfectly for me and for what I was trying to do!!

Would it be possible to only apply this script to a select number of categories in a smugmug account (maybe using CSS). I have setup my travelling section (which uses the alternative gallery homepage) to contain multiple categories relating to my travel photography. I also have other categories not related to travelling which I don't want to change the breadcrumb as they are accessed via the main homepage using the nav bar.

Alternatively if I could hide the "Home" in the breadcrumbs for the categories that aren't part of the travelling section that would also work for me.

Thanks
Bryan

Not possible with this script. It would take custom coding modifications for specific categories.

Updated this script (in the first post of the thread) so that it does NOT modify the top level of the breadcrumb if in an event gallery so that the top level of the breadcrumb continues to point to the event.

This worked perfectly! Thank you!

problem solved

Thanks for this great fix to what seems an obvious issue. So glad you guys are on this stuff and Smugmug lets us work around some of these things.
Cheers

I am having an issue with the breadcrumbs in 4 galleries that are part of an event.
The event includes 9 galleries in total, but only 4 are having the following problem.

CASE 1: When I access these 4 galleries, the breadcrumb reverts to
Home > GAME 20110416
, and the home takes me to the event page, even though I did not access those pages via the event link or page.

CASE 2: When I access the other 5 galleries, I get the full breadcrumb, that I would normally expect.
Galleries > Bellaire Little League > BLL 2011 Spring Hooks > GAME 20110322
http://www.deezunkerphotography.com/...30908860_bsYyL



What should be going on? I would like for the behavior to be based on from where I accessed the particular gallery.

I'm sorry, but I can't really help without the ability to see the actual event page and it requires registration and apparently requires a pre-approved email address which I don't have.
