Source of images for Map page

rustyblades · September 12, 2013

I have a gallery that has a geographic context and would like to display the locations of the images on a map. I created a page and inserted a map. But the only choice for sources for the images are Recent and Popular. Is there any way to add a gallery or perhaps a folder as a source?

Thanks

Can't be done yet in the new smugmug. Apparently they are working on getting that feature back.

Paul, have a look at:

and

It works for me, but it is still being tweaked.

This is even better than what I tried to do with a map on a separate page. I had seen the globe icon before and when I tried it, it only showed one image. I only had one geo tagged image in the gallery at the time so I erroneously assumed that the map this showed you where the one image was taken.

Anyway this is great. The application I want the feature for is to display the photos in this gallery which I am still building, but it will be great for any vacation trips.

Thanks again. You made my day.

Hi James

I looked at your site and great images. Nice to see some of the same places I've been to. One more favour. Could you please share your CSS code to add text next to the globe icon the way you have done. I think it makes the globe icon more visible for new visitors.

thanks

Paul, Thanks for your kind comments. The code below works for me. Put it in CSS for whole site.

/* To show Map This. New feature (at last) on 12-9-13 */
.sm-button.sm-button-image-map:after {
content:" Click for MAP"
}

Have fun!

I found a big problem. I do not geo tag every photo in a gallery, only a few highlights so that the general gallery photos
location is found. As a result I have to look at every photo until I find one with a globe to click. This could
be many photos into the gallery.

We need a general gallery globe "Map This Gallery" to click including the individual one on tagged photos.

I second that! Let us have it working in the same way as legacy SM.
