Few personal site customization

blanaru

Hi guys!
I have to rearrange the way my site is structured. For that I wanted to change some appearances, but some of them are not quite "handy" to be changed easily.
I saw an awesome site of another smugmug fellow and I think I can "borrow" some of his settings. Website is https://www.aaronmphotography.com/
Here is what I want to change (the points are also in the attached print-screen):
1. "Powered by Smugmug" in the bottom page to be smaller and faded
2. I want some folders to not show the folder logo
3. How can I have the titles on top of folders/galleries to be like that?
4. the search function is very useful on some pages on site. Can I add this feature?

Very much thanks in advance for all the help!
Cheers!

Add this to your theme's custom CSS:

.sm-page-powered-by a {
    font-size: 10px;
    opacity: 0.5
    }

Edit the font-size to suit. The opacity is 0 to 1, being transparent at 0 and full at 1.

When you viewing your folder(s) go to 'Customize > Content and Design'. You'll see all of the folders listed. There is an icon that looks like a wrench, click on that and click 'Display'. Turn 'Show Icon' to OFF,

Add a Title block on top of your folders.

Add a Search Block to the top of your galleries.

for a page,

• Edit...
• Content and Design...
• Hover over the content block containing the galleries or folders
• Select the wrench icon
• Click the display tab
• Change Info Style to Bottom Bar

The same can be done for each gallery style.

I have updated all these points.
Never thought it was that easy
Here is my website: https://www.blanaru.net/

Thank you very much for this intervention. Any other advice for improvement will be highly appreciated.

By the way, do you guys have any guidance on how is this page made?
aaronmphotography.com/Pages/Prints

Also the bio page seems to be different than smugmug default galleries style:
aaronmphotography.com/Pages/Bio

Again, thank you for your valuable input!

Years ago, this was SmugMug's product page. Aaron just copied the HTML. I did the same thing, just updated it a bit: https://www.imagesinthebackcountry.com/purchase/

It's just a page, not a gallery.

Thanks Mike!
I was thinking if Smugmug has a product page for more information like that. If I was a potential client of someone's images on a site, I would probably searched for more details or descriptions on how and what I will probably get. Not everybody knows all the options and quality Smugmus has to offer unless we can show them at least online on our websites.
If it is already one detailed product catalog, I will be glad to integrate this into my site :smile:

Cheers!

It would be nice if SmugMug would include all of the products in our own websites. That's why I created one on my website, although my page is on WordPress, you can do the same on a SmugMug site. I have some free time, so I can put something together and post it when I'm done. Been wanting to do this for a while anyway.

Just added this tutorial: https://dgrin.com/discussion/264265/tutorial-create-a-tabbed-smugmug-product-page#latest

Let me know how it goes.

blanaru

Wow that is awesome! :smile:
I will take some time to configure this on my site and will let you know.
Many thanks for the help!
It can be distributed this thread along with the "beginners" here on this community as this tutorial might be very useful when it comes to show valuable info about what we do :blush:

Cheers!
