Thanks. does it take awhile to "take"? The subcategories have disappeared from the page, only the galleries are listed now.

EDIT: I had to remove the // so the subcategories would show again, until I know what the fix is. Thanks.

No, there's a line of CSS you have to comment out too.

Find this line in your CSS:

#subcategoriesBox {display:none;}

and change it to:

/* #subcategoriesBox {display:none;} */

John, when I turn these back on, I realized I will need the subcategories on the top now, not the bottom. What should be the changes when I do that? Thanks.

I don't believe that is customizable without more custom scripting. Can you think of a different/better way to organize your galleries that doesn't present this issue?

Actually, isn't the default location, subcategories, then galleries? I think you had written the special script to reverse that (see your post #12 in this thread). and that's what I've had in place up 'til now (galleries then subcategories). I'm hoping to un-do that and go back to "normal", which I think is subcategories then galleries? Thanks.

As best I can tell your site is now showing the normal location of subcategories in their own box followed by galleries in their own box. If you're looking for something different than that, please describe in more detail what you're looking for.

I'm sorry for the confusion. I will at some point go back to the "joining" as you had set it up, by removing the blocks you gave me for JS and CSS. When I do that, I believe you set it up for galleries to come first, then subcategories.

So I will want to join them again, but in the format subcategories then galleries. I think that would mean I can't just remove the blocks you gave me today, because won't that put in place the special reverse (galleries then subcategories)? I think the customization you gave me long ago reversed everything to galleries then subcategories. I want to make sure that is not the rule in place when I join them.

Well then, just remove everything from your bottom javascript that you see in post #12 and install the standard code from post #1.

all of my thumb nails are in the one box but I still have a sub categories box on top ( with no thumbs) Is there a way to get rid of the box and double post?

Read the instructions in the first post again and make sure you do the first part that starts with "Add this CSS:". If, for any reason, that doesn't work, then post back again.

Wow it is amazing how much better things work when you follow the instructions.
I total blew right over the add to css part. That was the problem.
Sorry to bother you over something so simple
Thank you for getting me back on track.

this is great might I say. Does anyone know how I might go about setting my thumbnails to be the same size? The one in question is a category thumbnail (topmost-'Katie and Alan') at http://www.johnparliphotography.com/Weddings?ao=0

There is no supported way to control the thumbnail sizes. If you have 1-5 galleries in a sub-category or category, you get large thumbs (150x150). If you have >5 galleries in a sub-category or category, you get small thumbs (100x100). If you are using this script to combine them, the only way you will get the same size thumbs for both is if you have >5 galleries in the category or sub-category so they are all small.

I've been working on a general purpose script to "hack" the thumbnail sizes for awhile now, but it is a long ways from being done and I'm not sure it will ever work well so that is not an option any time soon.

Bummer. So, my one single thumbnail in that gallery which is the only with sub-categories (2 to be exact) is always gonna be smaller than the rest?

thanks jfriend! It's much appreciated.

At present, I just have one sub-categories thumbnail, which is for my Photojournal.

I tried the code to combine these, but it then shows just the galleries without the Photojournal subcategory thumb included.

I imagine this is because my galleries are not on my homepage, the way I have my site customized.

I would like to know how to modify the CSS code to make this work.

Thanks.

I don't see the code in your page. I can't help you figure out why it didn't work unless you put the code in your page so I can see what's going on.

Hi John.

I took the code out when it didn't work, but have now replaced it. Still doesn't work for me.

Thanks,
Andrew.

UPDATE:
Sorry for the bother... it DOES work now! I see that I had not copied the two final brackets that end the bottom javascript code.

My fault, but it would be much better if codes displayed were easily visible complete. The way they are in those boxes with horizontal and vertical sliders makes it impossible to see a long piece of code all at once, and difficult to copy.

Glad you got it working. I think dgrin just sort of does what it wants to with the sliders, not sure what I could do differently there.
