Myhre Studio

Abbie and Nathan were in for their 6 month photos. Quite a pair. Abbie is always smiling and Nathan is always moving. With two-year-old Jacob at home, I'm sure there's never a dull moment in their house!

Spending an evening with just about every player in the Luverne hockey program is quite an experience. The program seems to grow in number of players each year, the sign of a vibrant organization. Brenda and I spend about four hours on the ice. Now I know what frozen fish feel like.

Every year we do a fun pose of the high school girls. Last night we suggested the do a monkey-pile on the three goalies and they took us up on it. This isn't the one I selected but it's the most fun of all the frames. Can you spot the missing player?

This is all in an attempt to get blogging with images working in a way that gives me a respectable layout. The goal is to blog like frank.

Changed css in modules/plainjane/common.css. Added lines from the g2image docs to reflect css. added my own syles to get images bigger in my posts. Edited /www/modules/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/g2image/config/php and changed the lines (and similar):

g2ic_custom_class_1 = 'g2image_float_left_250';

That wasn't necessary. the g2image section of the admin settings gallery page has a field for it and overwrights the above config.php file

From the Gallery Tips page, made gallery2/modules/core/templates/blocks/local/BreadCrumb.tpl to eliminate Base gallery link. This will make it possible to have the base gallery unavailable from senior (and other)pages

Todo list involves much content creation.

• Front Page. This needs to have some current events sort of stuff along with the rotating senior favorites image. Maybe the current special or a link to the current special. Something about the studio, mission statement, USP.
• Families Rotating image here? Specials? Maybe the best thing here would be tips, examples of what works well for clothing, best time for a family portrait, how valuable they are, what a great experience. The only sublink here would be gallery, at least for now
• Testimonials! This is going to be important to every aspect of my marketing so it's a good time to get going on this. Phone calls are in order.
  

Created a forms page called View My Images where the user could enter their username and password to access their online images. This is using the existing Thumbs+ generated webpage, thumbnails and images. Each client has their own folder and the forms page and resulting php page opens an iframe at the address ending with the client id.

I can't do proper error checking until I get the client images folder transfered to the new server. I will do this right before switching over.

Webform did not work with $_POST. I don't know if this is a bug or if I'm not using it correctly. I scoured the drupal site but found no mention of this behavior.

Using the html tag iframe or inline frame, I made a node so that it will display my old client pages in a node. Iframe has to be frameborder="0" height="1300" and width="100%". If something doesn't work, just change the order of the attributes. I also editing the plainjane/style.css #main width to 575px so there wasn't a scroll bar on the bottom of the page

 

Object, and php redirect did not work. They only redirected the entire page to a new site.

 

Redirect:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="2; URL=myhrestudio.com">

Using editor nano for the first time.

Installing G2image into tinymce is a trick but this page helps plus following the links to gallery installation:

I have this working in a 4.7

 Just make sure to edit config.php in the g2 folder and the modules/tinymce/plugin_reg.php config file.

 Also today set up the test site for access. Needed to set a link for this to work.

 

Today is the first day of the new Myhre Studio site. I have changed hosts to Hostmonster. So far the site is very fast and the customer service is responsive
