Hello World

Allen

This is confusing, does it mean just this gallery or whole site.
Does this have to be set in every password protected gallery?

hello world! ? Yes: No: can Google find your smug mug?
hello smuggers! ? Yes: No: do you want your photos in SmugMug's search?

Setting this seems to be not relevant to PW'd galleries except maybe
once for re-indexing the whole site.

I've set it in only one PW'ed gallery, not the others. The keywords added in
this one gallery and all the other PW'd galleries show on the keyword page
logged in but not logged out, great. BTW, almost all KW's were added after
setting this and no re-indexing was needed.

Hi Allen,

Sorry for the confusion! We're working on making this more clear in the help pages and the customize gallery page.

Essentially, a "yes" on the customize gallery settings means that it will inherit whatever your hello world and hello smuggers settings are in your control panel. A "no" on the customize gallery page will keep that gallery out of all searches, regardless of your site-wide settings in the control panel.

EXAMPLE: You have "hello world" set to "no" in your control panel, so this your site-wide setting. You have "hello smuggers" set to "no -make me an island" in your control panel.

You have one gallery where you want to tweak the settings. It doesn't matter what you set "hello world" to in that gallery's settings. A "yes" will inherit your site-wide setting of "no", and a "no" will mean "no".

If you set the "hello smuggers" gallery setting to "yes", it will use your "make me an island" site-wide setting. If you set the "hello smuggers" gallery setting to "no", it will prevent your visitors from searching this particular gallery and its associated keywords, popular photos, etc.

Important point: When you are logged in as account owner, you'll always be able to search your own SmugMug site, regardless of passwords and hello smuggers settings.

Clear as mud?

Thanks Anne, clear as mud now. Basically understand all that but it
doesn't help anyone with a passworded family area and there are a lot of
them. The site owner logged in would be the only one able to search for
grandma. Works great btw.

Need to have the keywords of a passworded gallery appended to the keyword
list when password is entered. Then each different PW area entered the KW's
would show.
