Editing sales options

jcdill

Somehow, a whole bunch of galleries that weren't supposed to have an option to buy photos now have that option. :-( I need to turn it off for all the galleries, then turn it back on for just a few galleries. Is there some way to do this besides going gallery by gallery to turn it off for all the galleries I don't want to sell images out of?

Have you seen our Quick Settings?

First, you'll want to customize a gallery with all of the settings the way you want. To remove the Buy button, go to the Printing box and set Printable to No.

Save that gallery's settings.

Then, go back into Customize Gallery, and in the Quick Settings box at the top of the page, click "Save settings on this page as..." and give your Quick Setting a name. Then Save.

Now that you have your Quick Setting saved, when you create new galleries you can choose to have this applied, and the galleries will have your preferred setting from the get go, before you even upload photos.

And you can apply this Quick Setting to other galleries. To do so, you'll go into the gallery you want to apply it to, and you'll choose the Quick Setting at the top, and Save.

And to apply this Quick Setting to other galleries in bulk, you'll go into any gallery > Customize Gallery, and at top and click the "Apply to other galleries."

You can highlight all of the galleries that you want to have this Quick Setting, choose your QS from the drop down menu, and click Apply.



Does that help? Holler if you need anything else.

Take care,

AHA. There's the trick I couldn't find. THANKS

My prefered method is to use the SmugBrowser extension for FireFox. You see your site similar to the directory tree you would see in your computer's file browser. You can right click on any level of the tree, including your site title, and select Bulk Update and change just the Printable setting (or any other settings you wish). After turning off printing for the whole site, it's just as quick to turn it back on for a whole category or sub-category at a time.

I find it much quicker to browse through my site through SmugBrowser than to go to the gallery pages and use the tools there.

Sounds great, but I'm using Firefox 3.5.3 and the extension is only for 3.0.1 - 3.0.3 :-(

Looks like addons.mozilla.org only has version 0.5.8, but http://smugbrowser.introversion.com.au/beta/ has a 0.5.9. I think mine upgraded automatically when I installed 3.5, because I could have sworn I installed from addons.mozilla.org, but I just checked, and I've got 0.5.9 now...
