Trouble with gallery settings ...

LA Landscapes

Site is itsjackson.smugmug.com.

1. I've saved gallery settings as a template, yet whenever I apply that template to a new gallery some of the settings don't get applied with it. Namely Auto Sort and Thumbnail (original vs. square). It's possible all of the "Look & Feel" settings are affected by this problem.
2. In two of my galleries, despite setting the thumbnail to Original, the thumbnails are still appearing as Square. In both the "week 2" and "week 3" galleries, the last image in the gallery still has a square thumbnail.
3. Finally, if I click on the "jackson" category in the breadcrumb, all the galleries are listed in one column, requiring the viewer to scroll and scroll and scroll. Can this be fixed?

Quick Settings do not include gallery title, description, keywords, category, subcategory, NiceName. So, the quick setting should apply to all but the "theme" of the Look & Feel section. But, the quick setting won't remake thumbnails so, you will need to set that in each individual gallery. Are you applying these settings to new galleries or existing galleries? New galleries should accept the quick settings. If you're having trouble can you give us some specifics? Which gallery are you applying the quick setting to, which quick setting are you using and which settings aren't applying?

When you do change between square and originals thumbnails occasionally the thumbnails will get stuck. While inconvenient they're really easy to fix. I fixed the thumbnails in your Week 2 and Week 3 galleries by rotating the images.

For the galleries in the Jackson category you're seeing them spread out because of the four across code you added. You currently have 4 galleries in that category, we'll list them side-by-side when you have more than 5. I I think you'd prefer your site without that code. To show you the difference this is what your site looks like now:



If you remove the code it will look like this:



The code I'm talking about is what you got here:

I hope this helps. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask, we are always happy to help.

Thanks, Christina. I copied/pasted a lot of the code from my other smugmug account and I guess that's where the four-across came from.

I chose the gallery settings in the first gallery I created and saved quick settings from those. I've applied those quick settings to each subsequent gallery I've created, yet the Look & Feel settings aren't getting applied as well. I even tried creating a new quick setting, to no avail.

I double checked your gallery settings and I applied the jeh_default quick setting to all of your galleries. I then checked again and all of the Look & Feel settings are the same now. The Look & Feel options were the same for both the jeh_default and the jeh_external quick settings.

I hope this helps! Also, check out the "Multiple Galleries" button at the top of the gallery settings window. It's a great way to apply setting to many or all of your galleries at one time!

Have a wonderful holiday!
