Hide/Show Breadcrumb...

Lou Gonzalez

This is a sample URL I'd send to a client: http://photos.fernandogonzalez.net/Weddings2012/Wilson

In there are their galleries. If they shaved off the /Wilson off their URL, they can see other client's photos. I don't want my clients to see other people's photos.

In the old SM I had it hidden via code so when I was logged in I could see it but to others it would show as a blank page. How do I do this with the new SM?

It would be nice to have an abbreviated breadcrumb just for my clients galleries. Something like this:

Home > Wilson > Getting Ready (note the Weddings 2012 folder is missing from the breadcrumb). I want to completely hide the visibility of this folder from the breadcrumb. Is this possible?

paulbrock

you could put the folder at the top level which would give the URL

http://photos.fernandogonzalez.net/Wilson/Getting-Ready

which would do the trick. otherwise even if you hide the breadcrumb there's nothign stopping people moving up your heirarchy by editing the URL.

You can also set each of the subgalleries under Wedding2012 to be unlisted, so even if someone does find their way there they would be unable to see any galleries.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the reply. Weddings2012 is a top level folder. So I can't move it any higher. See the screenshot below.

In the old Smugmug, the Wedding2012 was in the breadcrumb but when someone clicked on it, it showed an empty page. This was achieved via some CSS code. Maybe I need that again. Unfortunately I did not copy my old code as I thought the new SM would be flexible enough to achieve this via the interface.

I tried setting the Wedding2012 folder as unlisted, however it set the galleries as unlisted as well. And the only options at the gallery level were private, unlisted and inherit which makes all of them un-viewable by guests. Ugh.

Any other ideas?

unlisted is OK. It just means they won't show on the Wedding2012 page, which is what you want, but they will show if someone has the full URL.

If they were private then guests couldn't view them without a password.

Private now means nobody can view it, even with a password or link, except the owner.

You can add a password to an unlisted or public gallery. Unlisted w/password - won't show up in folders but people can access w/direct link and password. Public w/password - gallery shows up in folder with a lock on it.

Ah thanks Jason

I just set the folder to unlisted and it set all other galleries contained in it to Unlisted. They do NOT show at all, even with the direct URL. Give it a try. http://photos.fernandogonzalez.net/Wilson/Getting-Ready

I then tried to set the gallery to public but it won't let me. The only options are Inherit(Unlisted), Unlisted or Private.

Very frustrating.

Yep I'm not getting to see these galleries. As I understand it that is the expected behaviour if the galleries/folders were set to private, so I don't know whats going on sorry

paulbrock

your other high level galleries seem to be behaving though. If I try e.g. http://photos.fernandogonzalez.net/Weddings2011/ the link works, but no galleries are shown.

Lou Gonzalez

Strange. I am logged in and I can't see them either... but that is peculiar. From the client view it is working like I want it to. How bizzare as I did nothing to those prior years galleries. Going to look deeper.
