| how can I create a site like this? |
Hello guys. I'm trying to make a personal site for selling artwork I make.
I want the site to have the following pages: Main - about me, what I do Gallery - gallery folders with embedded photos (from imgur.com, tinypic.com, imageshack.us, etc) and videos (embedded youtube videos) Contact - email, phone, send email form, etc. Shop - buy existing artwork: list of items (frames with embedded images/videos, price and paypal) or order your own FAQ - Frequently asked questions (list of questions, cick on one and the answer shows up below it, moving any question below lower to make room) Links - links to other sites, like tools I use for my artwork I want the buttons which link to the pages be in the standard top of the page, below the logo/name of the site (by default they are on the top right of the site) I want to only leave the rss, twitter and facebook buttons and hide the rest. I also don't see a way to change the background graphic of the site. Also, is there a way to hide the "sign-up, login" buttons on the site? It seems pointless for a site like this. Being new to uCoz, I'm having trouble creating my site like this. Can anyone tell me if a site like this is possible to create with uCoz without programming and how I can do this? So fair I've only been able to create empty versions of the pages, except for the "Contact" page and "Main Pages" (though I wanted to embedd a youtube video on the main page which I haven't been able to).

laserist, yes, it is possible to create such website with uCoz.
Quote laserist (  )Main - about me, what I do You can add such info to the home page (Control Panel -> Page Editor -> Page management -> Main page -> Edit information) or to the default Site Info page. Quote laserist ( )Gallery - gallery folders with embedded photos (from imgur.com, tinypic.com, imageshack.us, etc) You can use the Photo Albums module to upload pictures to your website. You can also add photos from other websites with the help of one of the following codes: BB code: [ img]link_to_image[/img ] (remove spaces) HTML: <img src="link_to_image"> Quote laserist ( )videos (embedded youtube videos) You can use the Video module for this purpose. To install the module, go to Control Panel -> Inactive -> Video -> Install the module. Quote laserist ( )Contact - email, phone, send email form, etc. You can add the contact details to any page, and create an e-mail form using the following guide: http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/19-3121-1 Quote laserist ( )Shop - buy existing artwork: list of items (frames with embedded images/videos, price and paypal) or order your own This can be done with the help of the E-shop module. Quote laserist ( )FAQ - Frequently asked questions (list of questions, cick on one and the answer shows up below it, moving any question below lower to make room) You can install the FAQ module in the same way as the Video module. Quote laserist ( )Links - links to other sites, like tools I use for my artwork You can use the Site Catalog module or add links to one of the side blocks. Quote laserist ( )I want the buttons which link to the pages be in the standard top of the page, below the logo/name of the site (by default they are on the top right of the site) Quote laserist ( )I want to only leave the rss, twitter and facebook buttons and hide the rest. Quote laserist ( )I also don't see a way to change the background graphic of the site. Please provide the website address. Quote laserist ( )Also, is there a way to hide the "sign-up, login" buttons on the site? It seems pointless for a site like this. You can either remove them from the templates or just disable the Users module via Control Panel -> Users -> Module settings -> Activate "Users" module. If you need more detailed explanations, feel free to post your questions.

Thanks a bunch. Seems easier than I thought.
Quote Sunny ( )You can use the Photo Albums module to upload pictures to your website. You can also add photos from other websites with the help of one of the following codes: Thank you! Is it possible to have images in albums but still host the images inside the albums somewhere else? Quote Please provide the website address. It is a test site: http://avaritia.do.am/ |
Quote laserist ( )Thank you! Is it possible to have images in albums but still host the images inside the albums somewhere else? If i'm correct , you could use conditional operators to make certain images appear somewhere else on your page.

Quote laserist ( )Is it possible to have images in albums but still host the images inside the albums somewhere else? No, in Photo Albums images are uploaded to the website. You can use one of other content modules for photos, if you want them to be hosted elsewhere. Quote laserist ( )It is a test site: http://avaritia.do.am/ You can create a horizontal menu via Site Menu Builder: http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/8-5638-26197-16-1238853004-1 The social buttons are in Control Panel -> Customize Design -> Site pages. Where exactly do you want to change the background? You've already partially edited it. I'm not active on the forum anymore. Please contact other forum staff.

Thanks guys.
Quote Sunny ( )You can create a horizontal menu via Site Menu Builder: http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/8-5638-26197-16-1238853004-1 Thanks. I find it weird that I couldn't just edit the "Vertical" option of the existing menu to "Horizontal". Anyway, I recreated my old menu and set its mode to "Horizontal" and then viewed the results. It is still on the right side of the page. It's the entries (buttons) that are horizontal and not a vertical list. That's not what I wanted. Quote The social buttons are in Control Panel -> Customize Design -> Site pages. Thanks , I was able to remove few wich I wanted. Don't know how to reposition the ones left now. Centering them would make it look better. Quote Where exactly do you want to change the background? You've already partially edited it. At the moment of asking I didn't know. I figured it out out just a while ago. |

It's the entries (buttons) that are horizontal and not a vertical list. That's not what I wanted. After you have created a horizontal menu, you need to paste its code (e.g. $SMENU_1$) into the necessary part of the page, e.g. "Top part of the website". It won't work correctly if you leave it in a side block. I'm not active on the forum anymore. Please contact other forum staff.
