Badge - Disable clicks?

binaryeric

Is it possible to disable "clickability" on a badge that we create? I have created a badge to serve as a random image display - but these aren't images that I intend for anyone to within the SmugMug gallery. The gallery is unlisted, which keeps someone from navigating to them directly but if the click on a photo within the badge it launches the gallery URL with the photo.

Any attribute that I can add to the badge code to disable this functionality?

Thanks,
Eric

It's easy to remove the clickability from a badge. You'll have to share the HTML you are using for your badge (or the page link it's in) and we can then advise on how to change that HTML to remove clickability.

Thanks! Here is my badge code:

?Can I see the link to the page that contains the badge? I didn't realize this was all flash, so perhaps the clickability isn't customizable.

Might have to add a spacer.gif and move it on top the flash.

This the standard SmugMug badge (Flash). How could I add the spacer.gif? I have a spacer image that I can use, but how do I set it up to be on top of the flash badge?

Thanks!

As I said before, we need a link to the page you're using the badge in.

Allen, do you know how I might do this?

Be much easier if we could see where it's used. I imagine enclosing it in a
div with gif might work but don't know till try it.

<div id="myBadge">
<img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="750" height="100" border="0" alt="">
<object>
...
</object>
</div>

jb,

I was never able to dedicate enough time to this to solve it but since then I have decided to abandon the flash badge and see if there is any way to create something extremely similar using javascript, dhtml, etc. So far no luck but I am still hoping to find someone clever who has done something like this. Flash components like the SM badge are troublesome, you have no ability to configure or modify them, and they can slow down your site.

I'm really hoping that I can locate a non-flash alternative to the badge.

Thanks. there is some customizing the badge here. What is very nice about it, is that for the use i am wanting all i have to do is collect new photos and drop them into the gallery and they become active on the site i have embed the code. So when there is a new project done i can remove the old and add the new with out have to recode the home page. 30 second process. verses a 20 minutes or so.

thanks for the up date!
