In order to give the appearance of never leaving your site to review albums with AlbumExposure, youwill need a technique called “cloaking” or “masking.” Fortunately, it’s fairly straightforward.
If your site is wordpress based, check out the photographer connections plugin from Photography Blogsites. Otherwise, follow the directions below:
Download the zip containing the sample files here:
After opening the zip, you need to make two changes to the file named index.html, which you can do in any text editor.
NOTE: TextEdit for Mac is not a plain text editor, try textwrangler instead it’s free :)
- Open index.html and replace [YOUR_USER_NAME] (replace the brackets too) with your AlbumExposure login, and also replace [YOUR_TITLE] with whatever you would like to title the page, then save the file.
- Determine the location on your server that you would like your albums to appear at. (i.e. http://yoursite.com/albums/ ) Then upload both files into the appropriate folder, in this case, “albums”
Test that everything works as expected by visiting the location that you uploaded the files to. You should see the same page as http://albumexposure.com/[YOUR_USER_NAME], but with your url instead.
You can watch an example of this process in our customization video:
