html gallery pages with photo cover?

mogue

I'm able to add text only pages to new, i.e. an empty gallery, but how do I add a cover photo to appear for that gallery on my homepage? Thanks again.

If you're referring to the thumbnail, in the gallery select the photo and in the
tools dropdown pick "feature photo".

In rough outline, try this:

1. put the photo you want to use in that gallery
2. mark that photo as the one featured for that gallery (phototools)
3. use CSS to hide the photo from view on the gallery page if you don't want it visible there

Gotcha! Thanks a lot.

And to the best of my knowledge, you can remove the photo (delete or move it) from the gallery after making it the feature and the thumbnail will remain.

Do you mean actually removing it, not just hiding with CSS/JavaScript, and it will stay "featured" photo? That would be quite useful if it worked.

Yes, that's what others have said here in the past. I tried it once about reading about it and it worked with a public non-password protected gallery. I tried it with a public password-protected gallery and it didn't work (the gallery thumbnail returned to the generic padlock thumbnail). I haven't had a need for it so I haven't tried it again.

Interesting... thanks.
