How to get Breadcrumb to show like it was before Smugmug changed the Gallery Header

AceCo55

Smugmug have now gone live with their "Updated Gallery Header / Cover Image"
http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?p=2034604#post2034604

I must admit that I wasn't aware the new change was going to affect the breadcrumb so dramatically whether you choose to use the new Cover Image option.
It has caught me by surprise - and, in my situation, it just uses up vertical screen space for little gain. (YMMV)

1) is there a way to get the Gallery Name back on the same line as the rest of the Breadcrumb?

2) you can turn off the Gallery Name by using this:
/* Hide the Gallery Title */
.sm-gallery-cover-title {
display: none !important;
}

but the breadcrumb in the Breadcrumb Content Block doesn't pick up my old css to emphasise the last entry. This code was:

/*enhance the last entry of breadcrumb */
.sm-user-ui .sm-breadcrumb h1 {
color: #fbd713;
font-size: 18px;
}

3) This is my solution in the interim (hopefully I can get the whole breadcrumb back on one line with the last entry coloured)
/* Change the font size and font color of the Gallery Title */
.sm-gallery-cover-title {
color: #fbd713 !important;
font-size: 18px !important;
}

Can't wait for the solution as it has messed me up too.

I agree totally with this. If the cover photo is not used, moving the gallery title is completely useless
and looks terrible with the huge size and extra vertical space used on the page.

I couldn't agree more. This unexpected and unwanted change in format is very disturbing.
Let us hope that the matter can be resolved quickly.

Not sure Smugmug are seeing this as a problem:

Totally agree with Allen - IF you are NOT going to use the Cover image, this change doesn't make sense to a visitor (it might make sense for the reason Aaron gave above - but it just adds an extra line that is totally not needed).
It seems much more logical to be able to read the whole breadcrumb in one line - and I have a different view to Aaron. I think it would be easier for visitors to see exactly where they are if the whole breadcrumb was on one line.

I REALLY hope Smugmug will allow us to include the gallery name in the one breadcrumb line if one DOESN'T use the gallery cover image option

I second ALL of this. I do not need a cover image, and it makes no sense for those of us who don't use a cover image. My site is not like 'Facebook'.

Also, for years now, according to that response, the gallery title 'should not have been' on the same line or included in the breadcrumbs? Then, why WAS it there all this time?

For now, I just changed the size of the font so that it isn't so huge. Here is a link:

I think it is an "OK" fix for now

If you do not use the breadcrumb from the the gallery menu but from the right side of the customize content and design menu you should still get the full breadcrumb like you used to - at least from what I saw last weekend

Good luck

I am not using the gallery breadcrumb but the original. The gallery name is shown on a separate line in both. The difference appears (to me) to be the placement of the starting piece of the breadcrumb either inside or outside of the gallery cover image.

OK, I was wrong - or rather didn't get the latest change in the breadcrumbs. When I looked at my page on Thursday (I think it was, could have been Friday) after the release was done I still had the original breadcrumb at the bottom of my page and the cover-breadcrumb at the top. Since I wanted them to look similar and emphasize the current link I did turn "show current page" off for all of them.
Looking at it now: if I add a "normal non-cover breadcrumb" (sm-page-widget-breadcrumb) I get the usual breadcrumb without the actual page anywhere to be visible - not in a new line either. So I suppose that the final breadcrumb change was made after some of the other cover-changes had been released.

@Denise: what you get on your page is the original sm-page-widget-breadcrumb with an additional sm-gallery-cover-title the later you get as long as you enter a gallery title for your gallery, it is now breadcrumb independent. So if you moved your sm-page-wigdet-breadcrumb to the bottom of your page you would only get the "original breadcrumb minus the actual page" and no header. So you would see "Home > Travel Stories" as a breadcrumb at the bottom of your page but not "Home > Travel Stories [new line] Wanderings..."

Thanks!

I know leftquark was recommending using the gallery breadcrumb but that puts the breadcrumb at the top of the cover image. It was hard enough to select a cover image where the bottom of the image allowed text to be readable - finding an image with a readable space top and bottom doesn't work for me. I actually prefer the breadcrumb (minus the title) above the cover image so the old breadcrumb makes more sense to me.

I'll add my two cents to this thread as one who is desparately wanting the old breadcrumb with gallery name back. I see the Gallery Title block as a waste of desperately needed vertical space. Ugh.
