Question: How can I reduce clicks in this situation?

spider-t

Hi guys,

I have a single public gallery in the Events Category. But to get into the gallery, you have to click on the gallery once on the home page and again on the category page before you get into the gallery.

I'd like to go straight to the gallery without the second click.

I also have the same situation with Pets.

How should I structure my galleries so I don't have that dumb-looking second click thing going on.

thanks!

Hiya Trish!

You could feature the gallery, and have your featured box on the homepage, that's the easiest way, how about that?

Hi Andy,

I tried the feature gallery and it looks a little odd because it has the same gallery on the front page twice. I don't have a lot of public galleries on the front page so it looks pretty obvious. Is there a way I can feature a private gallery?

thanks,
Trish

No, I'm sorry private galleries can't be featured.

Idea two, make a link to it in your navbar?

You could try a little trick: Make the gallery public, feature it and make it private again. I don't know if this will work, but as a matter of fact I did that to feature a private gallery in a community.

Idea three. Make it public, feature it, then use CSS to hide the 2nd copy on the home page. Requires power or pro account to do custom CSS.

If you don't have many galleries over all, then just change your home page to show galleries instead of categories (it's a setting on the right side of the home page while you're logged in). That setting is designed for the situation where you haven't filled out a bunch of categories and you'd rather just see a list of galleries on your home page.

Thanks guys for all your ideas. I'm going to break the gallery up into more galleries so the category function makes more sense.
