Pics on Pages

I have two questions….first, is it possible to hide the “add a picture” icon in a Gallery? Second, is it possible to add a pic without starting a Gallery? For example, I have a Gifts Page and have a few lists for different people and I would like to add a pic of that person at the top of their list. If I start a Gallery in between each list for just one pic, it looks clunky and the “Gallery” header looks out of place. I just signed up and am getting used to all the features. Thanks in advance for everyone’s help!

It’s not possible to hide the “Add a picture” icon in the Galleries. And yes you have to add a picture to a Gallery. Pictures don’t stand alone by themselves.

Hope this helps.

Updated: The original code also made the “Add an item” links for lists vanish without a trace. The code below has been updated to resolve this issue. Sorry about that!

Actually, you can hide the “Add a Picture” box.

This is a hack, but it works. This will show the “Add a Picture” box only when you hover over a picture in a gallery. Add a Divider to your page and put the following code in for the title:

Divider Title <style type="text/css"> .gallery_images_wrapper .link_to_add_child { display: none !important; } .gallery_images_wrapper:hover .link_to_add_child { display: block !important; } </style>

You can change the “Divider Title” part to whatever you want. It should be noted that this will only work in modern browsers that support :hover on any element (in other words, IE6 is out).

I just discovered a nice method:

Create a page ‘images’ and upload your image as file or into a gallery on that page. To use the picture in another page, just copy the link of the uploaded image and put that in your new page.

Something like:

Works great!

Ha ha, I mean:
Something like:

<img src="https://yourname.backpackit.com/assets/1227/654/name.jpg" align="right">

Hi
your code work a treat, thanks for it. But, the pic appears only when the page is viewed by logged in users, when you share a page (make it public) the pic does not show up for other people.

I have tried making the assets page public as well as the page that refers to the image, but no joy. Any suggestions?

I know an even easier way. Because you can use Textile in backpackit, you only need to open a note and type the code to make a picture appear in the note. You can find a textile quick reference guide when you click backpackit help at the bottom of one of your pages.
