Australia & New Zealand - Landscape Photography

30 Nov 2010, 20:01

Good day :D

I've upgraded my website with the new imagevue V2 and I'm loving it.
I will upgrade to the brand new one (just released) soon as all the new features look brillant.

Bon voyage!

Your photos speak for themselves, so no need to say anything else in that department.

One thing I would like to comment on, is your menu. It seems a bit mixed-up or unsorted ... Some links are external, some internal galleries, one with a single photo, one folder with subfolders, and one folder with multiple images. Also, I don't like the relatively big gap you have between your menu items, but that is just my person opinion.

My recommendations:
# Wait for Imagevue X2.5 final later this week, so you get the option to sort folders manually

# I would recommend grouping your photo folders at the top.

# Perhaps re-sort and consolidate your links and info somehow? Right now its a bit hard to understand what is internal links and what is external. Also some items could perhaps go into a folder subsection? Why would "links" open a new page to a links section? (which doesnt work properly btw http://www.smikephotography.com/portfol ... LINKS.html)

Hey Karl :P

Thanks for your message!

I agree with you regarding the menus...I'm still in the process of reorganising them.

That's exactly what I'm doing...looking forward to it!

I will reorganise all the menus / folders later on, as soon as I find the time to do so (and with the new version)!

I don't have any galleries with only one photo in them...what are you referring to?

I created another (external) page for my links' section as I've made a flash banner which does not work (as far as I know! :wink: ) inside a text file in Imagevuex. The 'links' page is working well here.... :o


Thanks for your time and advice mate!

Mike

PS How do you make the space in the menu smaller?

I guess I was referring to the one with the FLV / Calendar, but ok ... =) ... In X2.5 you could set this page to open the FLV video directly without having a thumbnail (which is a bit unnecessary with a single video file).

I believe this is in admin -> themes -> edit your theme -> menu.mainmenu.menuitem.space

Good day Karl,


Thanks for your answer :)

I guess the new 2.5 version upgrade is not far away now...cannot wait!

One quick question : would it be possible one day to allow for flash to work inside of textpages (I've read quite a few posts on that in the forum)?...
Just wondering!

have a great day mate!

Mike

PS : Keep up the great work!

You can already embed SWF into textpages ...
Code
<img src="filepath.swf" width="200" height="50" />
Just be aware that you are limited to certain compatibility aspects of the SWF embedded, not everything will work!
