Sidebar Customizing

[TheSalt]

Hello Gang,

As some of you might already know I'm using the gallery as a coral identification tool and I will be the only one uploading to it for now. Because of this I would like to dumb it down a bit so there is not so much to look at.

Can you help me with hiding a few of the side bar blocks? I would like to hide Media Navigation, Albums, Recent Comments, and Top Contributors. Are these things that I can just be commented out and if so do you know what template they are in?

Thank you for your help,
Nick

Anyone?

Comment out the blocks in the template. To find the template, do a search for one of the phrases, as I said in your other thread.

Thank you. I'm trying, I'm searching those phrases in the search bar but no templates or coming up for them. Some of them don't even have results.

What did you search for, exactly?

Media Navigation, Albums, Recent Comments, and Top Contributors.

 

[Amaury]

Search the phrase names, not the phrases themselves. Try {xen:phrase media_navigation}.

 

[TheSalt]

I'm kind of a new noob...

 

[TheSalt]

I searched {xenhrase media_navigation} and nothing came back then I tried "xengallery_media_navigation" and it came back the option for "phrase".

Hello Russ, I'm looking over it now.

 

[TheSalt]

It's a lot to look over. Should I be looking for Media Navigation, Albums, Recent Comments, and Top Contributors within the code?

 

[Amaury]

Yes.

Actually have you seen Applications -> Gallery Options -> Block Options?

Yes thank you. I was able to remove Recent Comments but that is all. You would think all the blocks would be in there but I dont know anything about this stuff so I'm sure there is a good reason. On another note I messed up something and I'm having to restore... lol

There's an option to disable the Show Top Contributors Block as well.

For the Media Navigation open: xengallery_wrapper_media_home

you can clear out the contents of the template(will effect other pages where it shows the navigation)



For the albums, remove/comment out this:

    <xen:if is="{$canViewAlbums}">
       <div class="section">
         <dl class="secondaryContent">
           <h3>{xen:phrase xengallery_albums}</h3>
           <ol class="categoryList albumCategory">
             <li class="{xen:if {$albumsSelected}, 'selected'}">
               <a href="{xen:link 'xengallery/albums'}">{xen:phrase xengallery_browse_albums}</a>
             </li>
             <xen:if is="{$visitor.user_id}">
               <li class="{xen:if {$ownMediaSelected}, ' selected'}">
                 <a href="{xen:link 'xengallery/users/albums', $visitor}">{xen:phrase xengallery_your_albums}</a>
               </li>
               <li class="{xen:if {$sharedMediaSelected}, ' selected'}">
                 <a href="{xen:link 'xengallery/albums/shared'}">{xen:phrase xengallery_albums_shared_with_you}</a>
               </li>
             </xen:if>
           </ol>
         </dl>
       </div>
     </xen:if>
