Sharegroups and Domain Names

SamirD

I don't know exactly what I'm doing wrong or have set wrong, but I can't seem to get a sharegroup to work right.

This link works:
http://www.smugmug.com/share/T35WWN5vvPH0w

But this link that it gave me during setup doesn't: :dunno
http://huntsvillecarscene.smugmug.com/share/T35WWN5vvPH0w

I'm not exactly sure what is preventing it from working with the domain name. There is some CSS customization on my site, but it's from before SM even had sharegroups. :rofl

Any assistance appreciated.

In your customization, this CSS rule is hiding all the content of the sharegroup. Remove that rule and your sharegroup works. The www.smugmug.com link works because it bypasses your customization. So, remove this CSS rule:

#content {display:none;} /* removes no gallery msg on homepage */

This generic a rule is a very bad idea because there are lots of things that live in the content div. Password prompts, search results, keyword search, etc...

If you wanted to hide something that was in a #content, then you need to scope it a lot more specifically so it won't hide all these other things like:

.homepage #content {display:none;}

Thank you for the reply. I knew it had to be something like that.

That's actually a part of my homepage that's been broken for a while anyways. It doesn't show the html message I've put in there and instead seems to hide everything. Will the code you posted above get rid of only the no galleries message on the homepage? I believe that's all I need to do on the homepage, although I have to admit it has been a few years since I've touched the CSS on my site. Thank you again for the help.

There is no easy way with CSS to get rid of just that "No galleries found" message on your homepage without affecting other things on your homepage. Right now nothing shows on your homepage. What do you want to show on your homepage?

If you aren't going to displayanything else on your homepage (which doesn't seem like a useful plan), then you could use this CSS to get rid of the "No galleries found" message. But, if you had other things on your homepage, this CSS might mess up some of those other things - I'd have to see them specifically to know.

#homepage h2.title.nomargin, #homepage p {display:none;}

It's kinda complicated what I've done with my SM homepage, but basically it mirrors another web site to make for what users think is a seamless single website experience.

If people ever try to hit the homepage directly, I want them to see a similar error message to what they would see from the website. That worked for a short time after I set it up. Some upgrade on SM broke it and I never bothered fixing it again since it was just blank.

I'm going to try the CSS you posted and see if it does what I want. If not, I'll report back here and we'll go from there.

Code worked great! Did exactly what I wanted. SM rules! :ivar
