Creating a Dir and then shifting sub dir's

BBJ

Hi All, I am new to this but yeh what i want to do is to make a directory and move other directories that are already there into this 1 dir as subs, as i have a 3 events that instead of having 2 galleries of the same even i would like to make 1 directory and then shift the 3 galleries into that dir so as not to clutter galleries up to much. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Cheers

I'm afraid I didn't understand what you're trying to achieve. You're mixing "directories" (usually local objects on your computer) with "galleries" and "categories", which are Smugmug way of information nesting.

I'd be happy to try to help you if you can possibly re-phrase your question...

Cheers!

Top category- Racing
...sub-category - event 1
......gallery - pics 1
......gallery - pics 2
...sub-category - event 2
......gallery - pics 1
......gallery - pics 2
gallery 1 (under top category)
gallery 2 (under top category)

Above has both sub-categories and galleries under top category.
How's this? Best I can figure what you're wanting.

Ok let me try explain, i have a catagory on my main page, in this i have Galleries of each event, only in some cases some events are like over 3 days so i have 3 galleries for that 1 event. i would like to make like 1 gallery and move those 3 days events into it, so 1 gallery with the 3 galleries from each day in it.
Sorry for confusing you.

See if this will work:
Top category- Racing
...sub-category - event 1
......gallery - day 1 (these galleries under the sub)
......gallery - day 2
event 2 (gallery under top category)
...sub-category - event 3
......gallery - day 1
......gallery - day 2
event 4 (gallery under top category)
event 5 (gallery under top category)

I quickly set one up, see if this is what you're looking for.

Hi BBJ, I kind of got what you mean, although not completely clear. I agree this category/subcategory system is confusing and can be troublesome to manage. Would it be correct that you simply want to have sub-galleries inside one other gallery (e.g. gallery/sub gallery/sub-sub gallery and so on)? if so, I am too dying to see this sysetm implemented at smugmug.
kind regards,

BBJ

Yes Fourseasons, thats exactly what i am wanting to do, i would like to shift what i have there, just in that fashion.
It does get a bit confusing sometimes and yes it would make things easier in cases of an event that runs over a few days so you can seperate each day as subs withing the a gallery.
