A grid of videos is not something that Showkase has native support for so you'd certainly need to find some kind of manual solution.

The first thing to bear in mind is that Showkase fits videos using the FitVids JavaScript library.
If you want to disable the loading of this JavaScript file, open the 'showkase/_themes/base/pagetypes/basetheme.tpl' file in a plain text editor and remove line 170:

<script src="{$ss_themesUrl}/base/js/jquery.fitvids.js"></script>

Now, your videos will no longer be resized by Showkase and will always be at whatever dimensions you assign to them in their iframes.
You should now be able to position your videos side by side using code such as the following:

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="200" mozallowfullscreen="" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/12345678?color=ffffff" style="margin-right: 20px;" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="300"></iframe>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="200" mozallowfullscreen="" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/12345678?color=ffffff" style="margin-right: 20px;" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="300"></iframe>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="200" mozallowfullscreen="" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/12345678?color=ffffff" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="300"></iframe>

Note the style attributes of the iframes (margin-right: 20px;), adding a little space between videos (not required for the last one).

Just use the regular '1-column wide' body text layout for this.

I hope this helps.

Please note that the line number above refers to the current version of Showkase (v1.6.1).

I'm glad you've been able to sort out your default email program.
Thank you for letting me know.

I'm glad to hear that you've been able to resolve your issue.
Thank you for letting me know.

Download the CKEditor 'Full Package' from this web page: http://ckeditor.com/download
Unzip the package and upload the complete 'ckeditor' folder to your 'showkase/admin/' directory (overwriting any existing files).
This, in conjunction with setting config.toolbar = 'Full'; as in my post above, should unlock all the features you are looking for.

Please note that although this should work OK, Showkase has not been tested with the 'Full Package' or this version of CKEditor (v4.5.11) so this modification should be done at your own risk.

You're welcome!

Font sizes may be tweaked between versions (perhaps for layout reasons) but I have just created a sample Showkase site using the current version of Showkase-Pro (v1.6.1) and the Maribo theme and the 'Site heading' and 'Site subhead' are the same size in my test site as they are in the v1.5.1 demo site here.
If you are using a version of Showkase prior to v1.5.1, then perhaps upgrading to the current version will solve your problem without any further action.
Full instructions for upgrading Showkase can be found here.

If you still want to increase the 'Site header' font size but only when Showkase is in Large Screen Mode (when the browser window is wider than 768px), then you can use a media query. Please see this Mozilla Developer Network support page for more information on using media queries: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc … ia_queries

Try adding the following CSS (adjusting the 'font-size' as necessary) to your site's 'showkase/_themes/maribo/css/custom.css' file:

@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {
    .hgroup h1 {
        font-size: 60px;
    }
}

I hope this helps.

Yes. Showkase should run absolutely fine on PHP 7.
I currently run test Showkase sites on PHP 7.0.6 without issue.
However, if you find any oddities that you think might be related to PHP 7, please let us know.
Thank you.

You're welcome.

If you want to try adding an ArtStation icon to the custom font that Showkase uses for the social media icons, then the following might be helpful.

If you do a Google image search for "artstation svg", you should be able to find a suitable ArtStation logo in svg format which you can import directly into the IcoMoon app as a new character.

You could then add it to the custom font that Showkase uses (using the IcoMoon app) and seamlessly integrate it into your social media sharing icons in your site's footer.

(1) Open the IcoMoon app in your browser.
(2) Import the 'showkase/_themes/base/fonts/icomoon.svg' file into the IcoMoon app.
(3) Find a suitable ArtStation logo in svg format on the internet.
(4) Import this svg file into the IcoMoon app.
(5) Tweak the ArtStation logo if necessary using the IcoMoon editor (for example to change its scale).
(6) Select all icons (all icons from the original font and the new ArtStation logo).
(7) Click 'Generate Font' at the foot of the page.
(8) Swap the code for the ArtStation logo with the code for an icon that you do not use, e.g. Vimeo. (Otherwise, you'd need to edit Showkase source files to tell Showkase what the new code is for the ArtStation logo.)
(9) Save the font as a zip file. (It'll be named 'icomoon.zip' by default.)
(10) Replace the files in your 'showkase/_themes/base/fonts/' folder with the files from the 'icomoon/fonts/' folder (from the extracted font zip file).

Now you can use the Vimeo social sharing functionality as ArtStation instead.

The following links might help with using the IcoMoon editor.
IcoMoon Docs: https://icomoon.io/docs.html
Juicebox 'Using Custom Icons' (not 100% relevant but might be helpful): https://www.juicebox.net/support/theming/#icons

If you want to create or edit an svg logo, you could use Inkscape or SVG-Edit or Adobe Illustrator.

Of course, you could still just add your own ArtStation link in the {block "footer"} ... {/block} section.

Great stuff!
Thanks for the update.

You're welcome!
Please let me know how you get on and if you need any further assistance.
Thank you.

This sounds like your 'index.php' file may somehow have become corrupt (maybe through manual editing or your web host unsuccessfully reinstating your site from a backup).

However, this sounds like there is more to the problem.
Even if the 'index.php' file is missing, you should still be able to access the admin section of your site.
(The 'index.php' file is required to display the Showkase home page.)

Try extracting your 'showkase-pro-1.6.1.zip' file (you can download a fresh copy using the link from your purchase email if you need to) and find the 'index.php' file in the root 'showkase' directory.
Use this file to replace the 'index.php' file in on your web server (in your 'htdocs' directory).
If you are in any doubt that your existing 'index.php' file is being overwritten, try deleting it first before uploading the new version in its place.

This may help but as you are not able to access the admin section of your site, I suspect the problem may lie somewhere else.

Try installing and running the Showkase Server Compatibility Test.
Even if you ran the test before installing Showkase, please try again in case your web host has made any changes recently which are affecting Showkase functionality.
If any of the tests fail, it might give us a clue as to the nature of the problem. Also, there are troubleshooting tips in the link above.

Also, please contact your web host to see if they have experienced any problems or have made any changes recently which might somehow be contributing to your problem.
It sounds like there's a chance that there is a problem with PHP on your hosting account. Maybe your web host has changed the PHP version or a PHP setting which is adversely affecting your website.

I hope this points you in the right direction.

Your galleries are SimpleViewer-Pro galleries and what you are describing is the Mobile Player version of SimpleViewer galleries.

SimpleViewer-Pro is predominantly a Flash image viewer with an HTML 5 fallback (known as the Mobile Player) for mobile devices and browsers which do not have Adobe Flash Player installed and enabled.

It sounds like the Mac browsers you are referring to do not have Adobe Flash Player installed and enabled and SimpleViewer is using the Mobile Player to display the galleries.

Please see the note regarding Universal Playback here.
Universal Playback automatically ensures that all users are able to see your gallery images, regardless of whether or not they have Flash-enabled devices or browsers.
However, please note that the Mobile Player supports fewer configuration options than the Flash version of the gallery. Here is a list of options supported by the Mobile Player. (The Mobile Player does not support Watermark Options or imageClickMode.)

Please also see these FAQs:
When I view my gallery I see a grid of thumbnails, not the layout I specified. Why?
The mobile player layout does not match the Flash player layout. Why not?

As you have Showkase-Pro, you could use Juicebox-Pro instead of SimpleViewer-Pro for your galleries.
Juicebox-Pro is a fully-featured HTML 5 image viewer that does not require Adobe Flash at all.
More information on the differences between SimpleViewer and Juicebox can be found in this SimpleViewer blog entry.

Juicebox-Pro supports imageClickMode (like SimpleViewer-Pro) but does not support dynamic watermarking.
However, you could create your Juicebox-Pro galleries with JuiceboxBuilder-Pro (the desktop application) which can watermark your images when they are resized for your galleries. Please see here for details.
You can then upload the gallery folders to your web server and import them into your Showkase site using Showkase's 'Site -> Import' functionality.
Once a gallery has been imported, it becomes a genuine Showkase page (just as if the gallery had been created in Showkase itself) and can be edited from within the Showkase interface if necessary.

(1) Upload the complete gallery folder to your web server using an FTP program. (I recommend uploading it to a location outside your Showkase directory.)
(2) Go to 'Site -> Import' in your Showkase site.
(3) For the 'Import path', enter the path to the directory containing the gallery folder (not the gallery folder itself).
(4) Click 'Scan' and choose the gallery folder (or folders - you can import several galleries at once if they are all in the same parent directory).
(5) Click 'Import' and 'Publish'.

The newly imported gallery page will have its own entry on Showkase's 'Pages' tab.

In SimpleViewer-Pro, you can force the Mobile Player to always be used (to display the grid of thumbnails), regardless of whether Flash Player is available or not, by deselecting the 'Use Flash' checkbox in the 'Standard Viewer Options' section.
In Juicebox-Pro, you can force Small Screen Mode (see here for more details) to always be used by setting 'Screen Mode' to SMALL in the 'General (Pro)' section.
Small Screen Mode is similar to the Mobile Player in SimpleViewer in that it displays thumbnails and images on separate pages (not together). (However, Small Screen Mode in Juicebox-Pro supports far more configuration options than the Mobile Player within SimpleViewer-Pro.)
