Best way to organize a multi-day event?

Hi again all,

Is there a way to organize a single gallery to do something like this?

Johnson Wedding (almost like an album cover, shot of bride/groom)
- Shower: Jan 10th (this section has about 50 pics)
- Rehersal Dinner: March 5th (this section has about 30 pics)
- Wedding: April 4th (this section has about 120 pics)
- Reception: April 4th (this section has about 400 pics)

Essentially, I'd like to make a single gallery but I'd like to organize it by day/event. I know there is a Subcategory option but I'm not certain it will allow me to do the above.

If I could organize it like above, I could 'unlist' the gallery and send out a single url. As it stands now, I've created FOUR different unlisted galleries and grouped them together -- this way, I can generate one URL that people can use to view them. PROBLEM is, when they click to go back to the root (Johnson Wedding), it says there is nothing to view because all galleries are unlisted for privacy.

Big thanks,

tnm

    If you are a Power User or Pro, then you could create the top-level gallery as an HTML gallery, containing links to the sub-galleries (you could then make them all unlisted).

    If you are a Standard User, then I would recommend using a (sub-)category and, instead of making the galleries unlisted, make them password-protected, but with a password that everyone at the wedding would know (e.g. the Bride's first name, or the town where the wedding took place)

    take a look at sharegroups...

    in my gallery description i put link back to sharegroup main page

    <#html#>
    <#a href="http://www.smugmug.com/share/abc123"#>go back to share page<#/a#>
    <#/html#>

    can use hide owner if you want...you will loose customization
    can hide breadcrumbs if you want
    there are several possibilities...
