galleries within galleries

crockny

Right now I have a hierarchy of UntamedNewYork - Galleries - and I have 35 galleries within the "galleries" link. I'd like another subset so I can consolidate some of these to be less busy. For instance my individual parades and events galleries could be included in a "Parades" gallery so it would be less messy.

What's the best procedure to follow? IF I click on a gallery in "organze" mode I don't get an option to create ...

You will need to create a set of folders to use as you specified and then move the galleries to the new folders. Both are done in Organizer.

To create a folder, click on the folder in which you want to create the new folder, then click the Create button and specify folder.

Your galleries drop on your homepage is huge. You need to shorten it up some. This CSS
will decease the height of every cell in the drop.

     /* shorter menu drop buttons */
.sm-page-widget-4330022 .yui3-menu-item>.yui3-menu-label {
   padding: 1px 46px 1px 22px;
}

So if my top folder is UntamedNewYork - I would create a folder in there for "galleries" and in the galleries folder I would create another folder for, say, "parades" and within parades I would create separate galleries for specific events?

Hovering "gallery" in your top menu extended off the bottom of the page. Looks like you reduced the
number in the drop so it's ok now.

Yes, thanks, I'm reorganizing - kind of made a mess at the moment ... I do not find the new smugmug to be intuitive when it comes to customizing ...

crockny

Ok I made a folder, folder, gallery - the gallery is "Flora" - when I go to customize Flora there's a block that says "no galleries found" and a block with all my flower pictures showing but no ability to customize how the thumbnails look or move the block around - there's only a wrench ... wah???

crockny

How come my top folder has horizontal thumbnails at a large size, and the next down folder has vertical images at a smaller size, even though I've customized them the same? The next down folder has 7 thumbnails while the top folder has 5 ...

Allen

Your birds drop goes below the browser window, I'd suggest adding the CSS in post #3 in "entire site" CSS.

I can't find the page you're referring to. Got a direct link?

Allen

I see a difference between the nature folder and all galleries under it, this what you're referring to?

crockny

No I'm talking about the difference between this:

http://untamednewyork.smugmug.com/Galleries

and this:

http://untamednewyork.smugmug.com/Galleries/Nature

They are both folders and I believe I have customized them the same way ...

Going crazy now ...

Thanks Allen - I fixed the drop down ...

Psss ... Your solitary vireo is a Blue-headed.

Drop looks much better.

Ah well they changed it on me ...

crockny

Can anyone answer my question about why the thumbnails look different even though I customized them the same? (post #12) ...

Allen

Did you click the wrench on both boxes and checked all the settings under both tabs?

One is a folders box and other a galleries box.

crockny

Both are folders so I customized the folder box ...
