Hi Phil,

I'm building a 2nd ning site, www.landscapebliss.com, currently offline. I'd like to have control over the PHOTO gallery to do this:

1. Have one photo gallery that is Admin controlled (only) so we can display a certain type/quality of photos, accessible by it's own page.
2. Have a photo gallery that anyone can contribute to, accessible by it's own page.

Is it possible to do this, and if so, how?

Thanks!

Hi Rockers Team, yes it does, but you will need to wrap the code provided by Google (or any other javascript) in <div></div> tags.

Thanks,
Phil

Hi Alva,

Unfortunately this isn't really possible at the moment; the photos feature cannot currently have multiple instances like the page and forum can, so the only way to separate out admin-controlled photos is to feature them and have them appear on the main page.

Thanks,
Phil

Thanks Phil, if I feature them for the "main page" is that the actual site's homepage OR the "main" page of the photos?

Right now, I have the photos appearing on the homepage, but was trying to keep those the pro shots vs. any random photos uploaded.

Hi Alva,

When you feature photos you can then click Edit on the photos module on the network's main page and opt to display just the featured photos. The photos page will always default to showing (from memory) the latest photos.

Thanks,
Phil

Hi Phill,

How to add flash data files in one of inside the page has created?

:) Thank you.

Hi IMDI Creator,

You can try uploading these using the picture upoading feature in the toolbar (untested so I'm not sure if it will work) and using the supplied url for the binary file. Otherwise you can upload the data file to your network's main directory, or a new directory that you create, and point to it there.

Thanks,
Phil

Thank you Phill, I just did before and didn't work well for reading the sublevel menus.
Thank you anyway, trying to figure out in other way.

Love the code, I read the 10 pages of replies but I still have 2 unanswered question:

1) the first tab/folder created is put as the #6 tab, while the others are #8+ tabs, we have a problem in that the layout of the tabs nolonger work when the tabs are added #8+, we would like to be able to control the location of the tabs, how is this possible?

2) the default sort function is "most recent" but we would rather have it as "most popluar" how do we change that?

Thanks for the help,
Stephen

Hi smart,

There's no mechanism to order tabs right now, so the best you can do is to apply some css to alter the tabs. Each tab has a css id.

You can change the sort by using a tracking code hack to find the url and append a parameter to it so that it carries out your desired sort. That's the quick and dirty way to accomplish it at the moment. The alternative is to request access to the code and dive in there and update the default.

Thanks,
Phil

I'd like to reorder my tabs. This sounds useful. Can you give any more detail on how this works please.
