Vanity URLs without Javascript

mylifeinfocus · August 2, 2015

I understand that the new Smugmug doesn't allow for Javascript customization, but is there another way to create a vanity URL for a page? I'd like to drop the "n-sfW8Tw" from this URL. http://www.alicethompsonphotography.com/Resume/2015/n-sfW8Tw

Thanks in advance for any help.

You actually name a gallery now and that is the link that shows without the "n-sfW8Tw" at the end. So it works like
the vanity URL's did. What shows now when clicking different photos is the photo ID at the end of the URL. "i-xxxxxxx"

The only way I know of to remove the trailing characters is to make the page public.

Unlisted galleries, pages, and folders always show characters like the ones in your URL.

Thank you both for your help. I've had names on my galleries for a while now and that works well, but I think my issue is with the unlisted ones as Denise mentions. Those seem to be the ones I have the trailing characters. I'll try changing them to public and hopefully that will fix the problem.

Thanks again!

Update: worked like a charm! Y'all are awesome! Thanks!

I'm not clear what you did that worked?

If the gallery is public it won't have the trailing code. She changed the gallery from unlisted to public.
