breadcrumb is working nice but browse level never appears so we must come back to homepage and choose browse again to come back to main galeries page

how can we add browse level ?

    I don't think that's the default browse page; I believe that Andy has a folder named Galleries.

    Hi, Denise and Andy! Long time no chat! Glad to see you guys are still on here!

    I have a question that kinda relates to this in the new SmugMug: I have a folder named "Galleries" which displays correctly in the breadcrumb. But, if I go a couple layers deep, "Galleries" turns into a folder icon with a downward-facing arrow. Is this normal? I would expect to see: [home icon] > Galleries > Family > Disney World. Instead, I'm seeing [home icon] > [folder icon] > Disney World.

    Thanks!

    hallo denise and andy,
    nice to hear you again :-)

    not sure i understand.
    in the past, when i started with smugmug, i created some galeries animals with subgaleries horses and dogs and nature with subgaleries landscapes and flowers.
    a example of link is :

    http://labrophotography.smugmug.com/Nature/Landscapes

    it becomes in breadcrumb : home>nature>landscape but i'd like it becomes :
    home>browse (or galleries)>nature>landscapes


    to allow the visitor to come back to main galery page
    what must i change ?

    best regards
    marc

    Well, shoot...I don't really want to restructure my folders to have a top level Galleries folder since I've used the simple links built from the old "nice names" far too often, and the user-friendly URL changes when you move galleries around.

    Oh well...it seems like a bug that the "browse" level of navigation doesn't work in the breadcrumb since it is a step along the path...I've filed a bug report and we'll see if that one ever gets fixed.

    I actually prefer the new breadcrumb style where every level isn't shown but that is a choice on the breadcrumb.

    If you want every level shown have you tried going to options for the breadcrumb and setting Display Full Breadcrumb to on?

    Yes, I have "full breadcrumb on". So if I go to "browse" in my menu bar, then to a folder called "Trips", then to a folder called "Hiking", then to a gallery called "Wyoming 2012", my "full" breadcrumb shows:
    home -> trips -> hiking -> wyoming 2012

    I would expect it to accurately report my full path, which was:
    home -> browse -> trips -> hiking -> wyoming 2012

    So there is no way to follow your breadcrumb back to where you started...you have to go back to the menu if you want to start at the top level again.

    same for me ! browse level is missing and it is an important one because it contains the main gallery page

    I believe browse is a page and I don't believe pages are shown in the breadcrumb. You could file a request in the SmugMug Feature Requests after checking to make sure it isn't already there.

    hallo,
    I have found the solution !!!
    I have a folder "events" in which i have several albums of our family holidays,... and several galeries "animals", "nature",...
    browse menu shows folders on top (events !) and galeries below. It is ugly.
    I have created a folder "galleries" because i noticed in andy's url that this name always appear for each gallery. i have drag and drop all galeries in this new galleries folder.
    I have deleted browse menu in customize site and added two new menus : events and galleries on which i have copied pasted the URL given in organize for these folders (settings tab).
    so now I can directly access to event galeries or portfolio galeries AND, cherry on the cake, events and galleris appear in breadcrumb

    YOUPIII !!!

    best regards

    Hi, Denise! I did as you suggested but didn't notice any changes. "Galleries" still turns into a folder icon. I did notice, however, that if I click the folder icon, a dropdown appears that contains the link to "Galleries".

    I wonder if this might be a bug?
