    You saved my life! I wanted to nest folders, but Squarespace don't play that... Adding a 'Summary' block, I can have the nesting be visual & akin to a blog. I'm hoping the thumbnail gallery full image doesn't crop my images...I'm an artist and that's kinda important...I might have to format the vertical images in a white box.
    Thanks again for the killer run thru!

    I'm just in my first minute of watching this video, because I need information on this topic, but - with all due respect - I don't understand why a lot of RUclips tutorial creators ask you to like the video and subscribe to the channel in the very first minute. I mean, it would make much more sense to watch the video, see if it's brought you what you'd hoped for and if so, like and/or subscribe. If not, leave. That would be the logical order. Why on earth like and subscribe before the actual content has been dropped. I'm now going to finish the video

    First off, I like the friendly style of your video. I like the section on uploading photos, so, if I might ask a question: I'm currently building a site using 7.1 -- and am looking for tips on how best to a) create a page that best displays multiple videos (with brief text along side). I;m currently inserting a video' 'box, pasting in a url from You Tube, and then adding a text box, and one I get that looking more or less okay, (resizing boxes is very limited) I duplicate the page and then repeat the process. Is there a better, faster way to upload say 20 video urls at once?
    I don't mind adding one URL/Text at a time, but just wondering. Also, Do you have any insights on the ideal way, or best practices when creating the home page? Regardless, a good video..cheers, (David P, from Paris)

    I want to build a photo gallery site in Squarespace. I've read everything I can find, but can't quite nail it down. Your video is the closest I've come to a solution. I want to have a home page that shows thumbnails of various generic sections, such as Travel, Landscapes, Wildlife, etc. When a user clicks on a thumbnail, they will be taken to a secondary page with thumbnails for subsections, such as Travel - Japan, Travel - Rome, Travel - Alaska, etc. When they click on a thumbnail there, such as Travel - Japan, they will go to a gallery of photos of Japan. My issue is linking these various levels. Also, I am using Squarespace 7.1. Thanks in advance.

    Excellent video, thanks! The pace may be a little too fast at times and (as you made clear) you've covering some quite advanced features but you cover a lot of bases and details which I've not seen elsewhere. I have one query: can you just confirm that there is no way to delete images or graphics I've uploaded but are no longer in use or needed?

    • @meetdavidalex
      @meetdavidalex  3 года назад

      @John Reeves - THANK YOU for the kind words :) Let me know if you have any specific questions and I can create additional content for that. :) In regards to your question about deleted files from the previously imported section - at the moment, the unfortunate answer is still no. You are unable to delete files from the imported section once they have been uploaded. I believe I understand why they haven't done this yet, but it's a bit troublesome. You can delete images from the website that users will see but not from the backend, imported section. Thanks!

  • @aaroncranfordart9321

    Hi David, I've been using the grid view for my artworks. I like it but my only problem is when someone clicks on an image to increase the image size and then clicks out of it, it sends them back to the very top of the page, making them scroll back down to get to where they left off. It's really annoying and was wondering if it's possible to send them exactly back to where they left off?
    Thanks.

    Hello.. I just found your video. Unfortunately Squarespace changed so many things on their website editor. I am building my own photography website at the moment and I cant figure out how to have a gallery grid & a slideshow together. That when I see the grid and I want to see one specific picture in bigger I just click on it and it opens a slide show or something. I tried so many ways with different templates, using the pages area, using the new site styles functions and so on. I would really appreciate if you could help me with that. All the best :)

    • @meetdavidalex
      @meetdavidalex  2 года назад +1

      Hi @Florian, as of right now, if you create a grid, using the gallery feature, you should be able to have it open as a slideshow if someone clicks on it. Are you using 7.0 or 7.1?

    • @Florian-dg7mi
      @Florian-dg7mi 2 года назад

      Hi @@meetdavidalex, thank you for the quick answer! I guess I am using 7.1, but to be honest I don´t know. I just started to build my website like 10 days ago so I guess I´m on the newer version, It didnt let me chose. My website has three pages: Home, Portfolio and About. On Home you just see an Image on the whole page and my name, if you click on the page portfolio six projects or folders are opening, and for each project have added a Gallery with a number of images to it. I can open the projects and see my images as a grid, but its not possible for me to click on one image to open it into a slideshow. I tried many different attempts and templates and started new, even though I have one of the photography templates already. On a few of them like (TALVA) I was able to open a slideshow, but It´s not possible for me to organize the images into these six different projects or folders if you will. So now I´m not sure if I make some kind of mistake (probably) every time I start again. But according to your answer it should work, so I´m gonna continue trying to figure it out. hahahh... Thank you and any tipps or advice is highly appreciated.

    Once I have created the galleries how do I set up the page to prevent people from right clicking on my images and downloading them?

    • @meetdavidalex
      @meetdavidalex  2 года назад

      There is code you can add that can disable right click, but it's not ideal for accessiblity and also, people can always take screenshots. I've heard this request many times and if your goal is to protect your content, it's not truly effective. If you do not want the option for your content to be downloaded, you should not post it on the web. :)
