Hello Imagevue,

I'm currently doing a trial of your software before I purchase. I'm almost 90% sure that I'm going to buy it but I want to make sure that some of my problems/queries can be address first.

First question, how can I move the horizontal menu under the background logo? Please check here what I'm trying to say: http://larryanda.com/sample/#/content/portrait/ as you can see the menu is overlapping on the logo.

Second question, I would like to put a client area where they can view their photos but instead of having a sub-menu I would like to have a text page where I can put a thumbnail photo, name of the client, type of event and date. I would like the name and thumbnail photo to be clickable and will redirect them to password protected folder?

Third question, I would like to have the HTML and Flash page to be seamless... in other words, I would like to make them as close as possible similar to this website: http://www.gonzalezphoto.com/. I have tested imagevuex in Opera, safari, chrome and IE... in Opera and Safari, imageuvuex fallback to HTML because I don't have flash player installed. I want users to view it in flash but the software has nothing for me to trigger and advised the user to install flash.

Fourth and last question (so far).... which licence should I supposed to get?... I don't think I can't afford the commercial licence just yet. I only do photography as a hobby and my clients are all pro-bono but the reason why I'm buying this software is because I want to show some of my photos for prospective paid clients...

Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully for the replies as well..

You can try to go to admin -> themes -> edit your theme -> menu.mainmenu.vertical_margin

Unfortunately, the Horizontal menu was just an experimental spinoff of the vertical menu. It simply looses some of the functionality that the vertical menu has, so unless you have a very simple menu structure, I might reconsider. We hope to launch some form of flexible and improved horizontal menu in a future release.

Just a suggestion: If it is a client area that is protected and/or hidden from the public, then why not simply hide the folder in the first place? You can then provide a link to your client for example gallery/#/content/clientName/ ... Your client will see their gallery, and the public will not. For added security you could also add a password although this may be slightly redundant. To do what you say is possible, but slightly tedious perhaps - 1. Create your client folder 2. Select "use as textpage" 3. Create your textpage, and add any normal link to the image and/or any textlink. The link would use the # to create an internal link in Imagevue. Something like this:

Let me put it like this: If the visitors browser does not have the flash player installed, it pretty much means they don't want it installed. Most desktop browsers simply have flash these days (I think it was 97% penetration last time I checked) ... However, there are now new devices like smartphones and tablets that don't support flash, and they need to see the html version instead. Our plan is to improve the Html version considerably in the next few releases, and target it for smartphones and tablets ...

Then I suggest the Private license. Commercial license is only if you are using it to support a professional business.

figured it out...

This is not CSS ... CSS only can edit text-formatting. The option above is in your theme. Go to admin -> themes -> edit your theme.
