I realize that you can view your categories on your home page, but I'm looking to add a link in my nav bar for a separate 'category' view so that when someone navigates to another part of the site, all they have to do is click the 'gallery' link at the top nav bar and it will bring them to a separate page with the category view as it is on the main page.

Is this doable?

Brett

Brett,

Check out devbobo's hack over here: http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=39470
It might be what you are looking for.

I set up my site for you to see how it works.

Home page with bio, popular, featured and gallery categories:

Then try this. Gallery categories only: edit: removed links

Just checked the site and that's it! Is the code I need in the hack that you provided? I'll have to wait til tomorrow to get to it, but thanks for showing it to me.

Yes. All the info is there.

This is what I used to get mine going.

In the css section:

.categories #categoriesBox {display:block;}
.categories #featuredBox {display:none;}
.categories #bioBox {display:none;}
.categories #popularPhotos {display:none;}

In the footer section:

 
if (hasPath("categories"))
  YAHOO.util.Dom.addClass(document.body, "categories");
 
function hasPath(sPath)
{
  re = new RegExp("\/" + sPath + "(\/|$)");
  return re.test(window.location)
}

Change the stuff in red to suit your needs.

what are examples of categories?

Not sure what you mean.
The code above is used to display the "gallery categories" on their own page. Without this script you are not able to directly access the gallery categories with a url. Unlike the popular photos, keywords, date; were you can access them via url like: http://smugmug.com/keyword/
