Custom Menus in a Gallery
You can create a custom menu for each gallery instead of using the built-in menu. A custom menu can include the built-in menu items, such as a drop-down menu of new exhibitions or a link to your blog. A custom menu can also include any text you wish, such as HTML code to link to another website, or even plain text.
Hint: See the sample, below, for Custom Item 1 to see how to make a link to another website. Replace “www.mywebsite.com” with the name of your website. Replace “My Web Site” with the text you want to show in the menu bar.
Let’s say, you want a menu item that links to another website, www.mywebsite.com. And, you’d like a second menu item that doesn’t do anything but show the text, “All pictures copyright © 2009 by David Gross”.
In the Administration of your website, choose the Galleries tab. Click “Edit” for the gallery you want to edit. Then, click “Show/Hide Advanced Features” to see the custom menu settings.
Fill in the “Menu Bar Custom Items”, as shown.
When you save, you might notice that the system has changed your copyright symbol to an HTML code for the symbol, as shown below. This is OK.
Here’s a sample custom menu bar. This will show a link to all exhibitions in the gallery, your custom menu item #1, and custom menu item #2.
Your viewers will see this:
