Wedding Photographer Portfolio Template

This template provides an easy to navigate layout focusing on the display of the images, and is completely XML configurable. It supports deep linking (allows you to share links to any sections in the website).

You can create different menus, and attribute one of the following modules to each:

- portfolio (fullscreen gallery of images)
- link (direct link to another website)
- swf (loads an image or a swf into the website)
- text (creates a text section, and adds a scroll when there's more than can be seen)

The website works on two levels, and you can edit or create new levels in the main.xml file. Each module comes with it's own XML settings file, so you have complete control on colors, size and content.

The name of my title is longer than the original , and when I click on ABOUT ect. , the menus interfere with my title.

Like the title is " Joseph Davis Castleberry Photography "

and the last 4 letters of PHOTOGRAPHY bleed into any menus that pop up. - where can I adjust the menu position , maybe move it over a little bit ?

Also - can I make the menu a little wider ?

Also - Can I increase the size of the " GO BACK " at the bottom of the portfolios ?

Hello Joe,

You can make your title work with the text box by adjusting these properties in the main.xml file:

titleFontSize = "35"
titleXPosition = "50"
titleYPosition = "60"

textX = "490"

textWidth = "480"
textHeight = "253"

The distance between the menu and the submenu is this property in the same XML file:

horizontalOffsetSubMenu = "15"

Just increase its value to make it wider.

Sorry, there isn't an option to make the "Go Back" button bigger.

Thank you very much !

Is there anyway that you guys can add the back button size in an update - alot of my clients all say they have had trouble figureing out how to go back to the main page without looking really hard for it - it almost microscopic on high resolution monitors.

Also , there is this little CIRCLE in the middle of the screen within my portfolios , can this be turned off ?

Hello Joe,

We noted your suggestion and we'll see what we can do in a future update.

The circle in the middle of the screen indicates that the pictures are loading. If you don't want it to be displayed, the project would need some small ActionScript changes. If you need our help, we can do it as custom work. Please send an email at [email protected], if you're interested.

Don't know if someone asked this already - but if you goto my page , you will see my catagory under photography called AGENCY TEST - is it possible for me to create sub catagories there for each models name ?

example :

Photography -- Agency Test --- Sarah
--- Brit
--- Ashley
--- Tara

Hi Joe,

We're sorry, but the menu works only with two levels. You can only have a main menu button that opens another menu. But that submenu can't open another submenu. So you can't do what you explained above.

Ok thanks , let me ask this then.

Is it possible to add new submenus that align horizontally , rather than vetically , because my customers with low-res 1024x768 laptops seem to get words cut off if I add any more catagories ?

Alternatively - is there a way to make the main page resizable for people with lower resolutions ?

Hi Joe,

The menus are aligned only vertically, one after the other. They wouldn't look right, if they were aligned horizontally too. What if the other menus on the left have submenus? It would not look nice.

The template looks good for resolutions as low as 1000x600. For less than that, with more menu items, we didn't implemented a solution.
