Integrate SmugMug with my own site?

mmahoney · March 13, 2007

Can I have SmugMug galleries integrated with my current website? .. in other words have a seperate section of my site dedicated to SmugMug but have it appear seamless to the visitor?

Sorry if this has been asked and answered to death but I looked at the FAQ and did not see anything on it.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

There are several ways you could achieve this result, depending on your level of expertise.

Firstly, say your main website was www.domain.com, you could point photos.domain.com to smugmug (requires pro account). Then style your smugmug pages to what you use on your website (pro or power account)

Alternatively, you could do some integration via smugmug's api. This methods requires alot more expertise, and I would only suggest this method if you really know what you're doing.

Using the first method, a lot more people will be able to help you here on dgrin.

Cheers,

David

Thanks David .. I have no expertise with this kind of thing at all, which is why I've been paying a programmer to do it for me.

I am working on a simple integration between sites: smugmug, my own web site and a Google Blog. The main site is http://[URL="http://www.liquidairphoto.com"]www.liquidairphoto.com[/URL], the smugmug site is http://gallery.liquidairphoto.com and the blog is http://blog.liquidairphoto.com. It is still a work in progress, but you can take a peek to see what I have done so far. You will need to set up the various sub domains at your registrar. The rest of it is essentially done with some shared CSS with a few twists to integrate in to each of the different environments. I am not quite done yet--the blog only has a banner; no nav bar.

That's what I need .. except no blog. I'd use SmugMug to create & manage galleries. But I need simple solutions .. I'm still not sure if HTML is something I write or need a prescription for

In addition to my own domain I have a Flickr site which is great for creating sets and making changes & additions to photo sets as everything is basically drag & drop, but the look is limited and really can't be integrated into my site that I'm aware of.

Thanks for all replies and I'll spend some time over at the SmugMug site this weekend and see what's up.

Dont know if this is what you are looking for, my website www.coastalimpressionsphotography.com links from my "Current Galleries" page to the apporpriate smugmug page, I modified the toolbars to point back to my website if they want to link to another page.

Integrate SmugMug with my own site?
