Gallery Setup Questions
Having found most answers in the online resources and this forum - I have a few items I would appreciate assistance on.
1) Is there a way to display galleries on the Galleries page non-Alpha/Numeric? If I have a gallery called 'Framed Photos' that I want at the end of all other galleries is there a way to to that?
2) Where can I choose a specific image as my 'Gallery Thumbnail'?
3) Where can I set the background color for my galleries 'Thumbnail and Title'? On the site, it's the white portion of the page I'm referring to: http://www.wyjim.com/imagesofthewest/galleries.php
Thank you for any suggestions you can provide,
Jim

Re: Gallery Setup Questions
Hi Jim,
1) Is there a way to display galleries on the Galleries page non-Alpha/Numeric? If I have a gallery called 'Framed Photos' that I want at the end of all other galleries is there a way to to that?
Not really. The best way to place galleries on the Galleries page is to name them so they show up where you want them to. And that's alpha-numerically.
There are some advanced options that allow you to reverse or shuffle the order, but those don't really apply to what you're asking to do. But here they are: http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … x_advanced
2) Where can I choose a specific image as my 'Gallery Thumbnail'?
http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … thumbnails
3) Where can I set the background color for my galleries 'Thumbnail and Title'?
In Pages that's found in :
Appearance > the AutoIndex : Background-color and Background-color :hover

Re: Gallery Setup Questions
Thanks for the quick response and good info Rod!
I really like your 'thumbnail.jpg' trick and the custom-thumbnails folder method. I'll be trying both.
Yes, the background color setting should have bit me. I see I need to spend more time in the documentation.
Moving forward again - I sincerely appreciate your help,
Jim

That's all Matt.
Don't feel bad about missing some settings. There are A LOT of options and it takes some time getting used to where they all are (or even remembering they're there 
)
