Hey Dgrinners,

First.
So, it took a while to wrap my brain around going from three years of code stuff to the new SmugMug format but I must say... I really lie it. Kudos to all.

Question: I have figured out how to setup a Gallery Page so it is only Thumbnails and that is great, however, I am hoping I can now adjust the rows and columns to display larger square grid images similar to if I moved photo to my Homepage and placed them into a grid format? Hope that makes sense.

You can see a page of thumbs on my site.

Cheers and again good work SmugMug.
Thanks,
Richard.

    Open the Galleries page, -> "Customize" than click the header of the Galleries Block. Here you can change to square, the size of the images and the spacing.
    Hope I got you right ;)

    Thanks for the reply - close but still not there.

    When I try to modify the HEADER I get this: AREA RESERVED FOR DEFAULT SMUGMUG CONTENT. I assume this is because they are thumbnails not photos and I set the Style to Thumbnails.

    So, what I did this time is create a PHOTO BLOCK and grid the photos - works great.

    PROBLEM IS Unless I leave the Style as THUMBNAILS the photo arrangement changes AND if i leave it as THUMBNAILS the header has you guessed it - thumbnails above the photos.

    So... is there a way to get rid of the header with the thumbs and leave just the gridded photos.

    TO see what I am talking about please check the site and go to the PORTRAIT SERIES GALLERY which I have made stand alone.
    Thanks,
    Richard.

    Hm, what kind of design / template is this? I would like to check on mine.

    It's based on Octavia with a bit of custom changes to Font and Background colours etc.
    Thanks,
    Richard.

    I was able to blend out the "thumbs" by deleting 
    <div id="yui_3_8_0_1_1375646959498_956" class="sm-page-layout-column yui3-u" data-layout-column="0" style="width: 100%;">
    with the Web Developer Extensions, but I'm not able to "transfer" it (in other words: what to do in HTML or CSS) to the layout in use, very sorry.

    But there must be a way by customizing CSS or HTML to get rid of them.

    THANKS... I was able to achieve the design I am after by creating separate pages for each gallery. Very happy with how it turned out.

    Now just some tweaking and figuring out how to get my Lightbox background white not black.
    Thanks,
    Richard.
