How to show folders on the same page ?

Hi, I'm having trouble with clickable folders.
My main menu has a "Travel" section, once selected I'd like the page to show all my travel destination folders folders as a grid. From there I'd like to be able to click any folder, have it display all the galleries it contains and finally display the gallery content itself .

Main menu (Travel) > page showing folders > collection of galleries > pictures

Structure example:

(Menu) Travel > USA (folder) > San Francisco (Gallery) > pictures
> Los Angeles (gallery)
> New York (gallery)
> Canada (folder) > Montreal (gallery)
> Ottawa (gallery)
I can't seem to figure out how to match the structure from the Organizer and the actual menu and its subsections.

Thank you for your help.

Samuel

    Do you have a "Travel" category on your legacy site?
    If so, go to it on NewSmug.
    yoursite/Travel
    Does a folder box show?
    If not click customize > customize site
    Highlight "all folder" in right flyout
    Click "navigation" below to expand it
    Drag a "folders" out to the page.
    Click its wrench and set "select from" to "current folder".
    You should now have a folder box on every folder page showing its current contents.
    Showing sub-folders and galleries when applicable as you go down.

    Thank you very much Allen !
    It works perfectly now.
    It's so simple now that you pointed it out. I've been trying to figure it out for hours...

    Thank you again for your quick and very helpful answer.

    Hey,

    you need to add the gallery content block onto your page (entire site if you'd like that behaviour everywhere).

    The folder/gallery/page block works as well, but co-mingles everything to the same content block.

    Hope that helps.

    One last problem though...
    Folders are visible, but when I click on any of them they won't show the galleries within.
    I haven't used any but you might want to try "folder, galleries, pages" instead.

    Just saw Ann posted.
    Might add a "galleries" below the folder. That's how I do it.

    Well, that's what I just did (adding galleries below the folder) and it works.
    I'll check if this setting becomes default or if I have to do the same for each folder.

    Thanks again for your feedback.

    If you had "all foldres" highlighted on the right it will apply to all folders.

    Indeed !
    One last thing ;-)
    Does anyone know how to set up the breadcrumbs on the whole site except on the homepage ?
    Thanks.

    The only option would be to not include the breadcrumb content block on the "entire site" section and add it only to "all folders" and "all galleries" section from the customize drawer on the side. Note that you would also need to manually add the breadcrumb to each page that you create.
