Vanity URL

OneTwoFiftieth

Hello,

It's been a long time since I've done much work on my SmugMug page and a lot has changed. I have had a lot of Vanity URLs in the past and knew how to do it very easily. However, with the new design of the site, I am at a complete loss.

I've figured out how to add the HTML or CSS "block" onto a gallery, but am not sure which one I need to use. A lot of my galleries already have vanity URLs set up for them, so I know the page is already coded to accept them. I'm just looking for the proper information on how to add it to a new gallery that is on my site. Ideally, I would like to see the old text box I used to have with all of my galleries and the Vanity URL code in it, but I presume that is gone?

Anyways, if someone can help me figure out if I need to enter code in the HTML or CSS block and what code I need to enter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Vanity URLs as implemented in Legacy SmugMug used JavaScript, and JavaScript is not supported in new SmugMug.

But - one of the purposes of Vanity URLs was to get rid of the funky characters at the end of the URLs that identified your galleries. If your gallery is defined as public in new smug those characters are not needed - by default the URL is a clean name as you defined it.

This is for a non public, password protected gallery.

If the gallery is unlisted then it has a URL with a set of characters appended on the end.

If the gallery is public the URL is clean, no extra characters.

Both unlisted and public galleries can be password-protected.

As I said earlier, vanity URLs are not supported in new smug. There is a feature request posted, add your comments to Restore Vanity URLs.

So it's public but password protected. Not unlisted.

Yes, only if the gallery is "unlisted" the stuff at the end shows. Not for "public" even with a password.

I found that the hard way today. I didn't realize an unlisted gallery adds "stuff" at the end. I sent a link to about 20+ people and they said my link didn't work. Realized I needed the extra numbers/letters.

Lesson learned...!
