there are settings for crop thumbnails what do you suggest Today 9:59 AM is there any way to modify this view to separate categories anything here? the problem is the folder category shown has nothing in it do its a dead end the yellow folders are empty this is working and now opens the hidden menu items but can you help it look better i cant seem to find where to put the css to make it global this is now set to none it didnt visually change anything but remove horizontal pagging does something can we get closer to i can add some meta text like photo count etc better i dont hate the controls but it looks horrible so either clean it up or remove the controls Pasted text(1).txt Document there seems to be themes too but the link doesnt work because there is nothing in the category Yep. The script only looks for the text “Middletown North Freshmen 2026,” so it ignores the Surron Colin gallery. Replace your existing script with this one. It changes the back link in any Phoca gallery to point to your Photo Galleries landing page, regardless of the category name. One important correction: The selector above might be too restrictive because #phocagallery itself has the pg-category-view class. Use this corrected version instead: This preserves the working Middletown North fix and adds Surron Colin, provided its back link is labeled exactly Surron Colin. If it uses a different label, paste that link's HTML and I'll adjust it. the last version worked the one before that did not Perfect. Keep the last version and delete the earlier one. Both galleries now have a working back link to your Photo Galleries page. No further changes needed. 👍 im never going to remember all these scripts were here 😂 Six months from now, you're going to find that JavaScript and wonder what the hell it's doing. I'd add a comment directly above it in YOOtheme's Custom Code field. Replace your current script with this identical working version, just documented: Even better: Keep all your custom code organized with headings like PHOCA GALLERY, FOOTBALL, and GENERAL SITE FIXES. That way, when something breaks after an update, you'll know exactly where to look.
