1. Juicebox-Pro 1.5.0   gallery Thumbnails image  look like blur image

It looks like the thumbnail images on your server are 85px x 85px and your gallery's configuration file does not entries for thumbWidth and thumbHeight so the thumbnails should be displayed at 85px x 85px (the default values) so everything should be OK.

However, your screenshot ('image1.png') shows the thumbnail images being displayed at a different size (maybe something like 100px x 85px). It looks like your mobile browser might be using an older version of your gallery's configuration file (one with a custom entry for thumbWidth).

I have viewed your gallery on my own mobile iOS device and your thumbnail are displayed at the correct dimensions (85px x 85px) so it looks like the problem may be your browser's cache.

Try completely clearing your mobile browser's cache before reloading your gallery's web page.
This should hopefully solve your problem.

2. i want
    gallery index page -> full screen image

Set showSplashPage="NEVER" (in the 'Splash Screen (Pro)' section) to disable the Splash Page.
You may also like to set showSmallThumbsOnLoad="FALSE" (in the 'Thumbnails (Pro)' section) to initially skip the thumbnail page in Small Screen Mode and go straight to the first image in the gallery when the gallery is loaded.
Alternatively, you could set screenMode="LARGE" to force the gallery to be displayed in Large Screen Mode in all browsers and on all devices. (Large Screen Mode does not use the Splash Page by default.)
For more information about Screen Modes and the Splash Page, please see here.

1. Juicebox-Pro 1.5.0   gallery Thumbnails image  look like blur image

It sounds like your thumbnail images may not be at the dimensions specified by the thumbWidth and thumbHeight configuration options.
Try editing your gallery page, going to the 'Advanced' tab and clicking the 'Rebuild' link.
This should rebuild your thumbnail images at the correct size.
If this does not help, then please post the URL to your gallery page so that I can see the problem for myself.

2. fixed forwarding

I would not recommend loading a Showkase site into a frame (as the code you posted seems to do).
If you want www.clearpix.co.kr to redirect to your main Showkase page, try a meta refresh like the following:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="ko">
    <head>      
        <title>Redirect</title>      
        <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='http://maybi.iptime.org/show_clearpix/'" />    
    </head>    
    <body> 
    </body>  
</html>

Otherwise, you should be able to set up a redirect in your web hosting account's online control panel.

(resolve)

It sounds like you might have already resolved your problem.
If you still have a problem, please let me know in detail what it is and I'll try to help out.

I'm not sure if you are trying to align images within a gallery or a gallery within a page.
If you are trying to horizontally align images within the gallery, then imageHAlign is the config option to use.
If you are trying to horizontally align a gallery within a page, then please post a link to the page in question so that I can take a look at the problem for myself. (A Showkase page should position the gallery appropriately depending on the theme being used and, ordinarily, should not need to be re-aligned.)

If you have already resolved your problem then you don't need to post back.
Thanks.

Thank you for the link to your web page and the screenshots.

It looks like the problem might be the one noted in the FAQ from my post above.
The gallery images do not have the same aspect ratio as the gallery itself in narrow browser windows which results in some space above and below the images.

Try reducing the height of your Juicebox gallery by editing the gallery page, going to the 'Override Site Options' section and entering a negative value for either 'External fit px' or 'Internal fit px'.

You might need to experiment with values but, as a starting point, try setting 'Internal fit px' to -105 (the same as in the Maribo demo gallery). This should hopefully help.

Also, I note that your gallery sets topAreaHeight to -100. Try setting it to 0 instead. (Your gallery does not have any elements positioned TOP so this might not make a difference but topAreaHeight expects only a positive integer if it is to be used.)

Please post the URL to the web page that you are referring to so that I can see the problem for myself.
I do not know if the image you are referring to is a part of a gallery (Juicebox, ListViewer, SimpleViewer) or an image included from the Showkase Library (or something else).
Also, without seeing the page, I do not know whether the margin is connected to the "sub text" or the "pic" from your post above (although I suspect it is likely related to the image).
Please let me know what device and browser you are using and, if possible, provide a screenshot so that I can see what you are seeing. Thank you.

Try viewing this Maribo demo gallery on your mobile device to see how the margin above the gallery images compares with your own site.

Depending on the nature of the problem, you might be able to tweak the margin using custom CSS.
Please see the Adding Custom Styles support section for details.
Your browser's developer tools should help you determine which classes or ids you might need to apply custom CSS rules to.
Please see this forum post for more information regarding using developer tools.

If the image is part of a Juicebox gallery, then this FAQ might help.
My Juicebox gallery shows too much space above or below the main image, how do I fix this?

You can reduce the height of a Juicebox gallery in Showkase by editing the gallery page, going to the 'Override Site Options' section and entering a negative value (such as '-200') for the 'External fit px' entry.
(This will probably help only for a Juicebox gallery where the Splash Page is not being used.)

I'm not sure why this might be happening. I've not seen it happen before and, as far as I can remember, no one else has reported such an issue.

... about 50 or so new 'Gallery" folders were created...

... 93 folders called "Gallery" had been made.

It sounds like, whatever the problem is, it doubles the number of duplicate folders on each iteration.

How are the duplicate folders named? This might give us a clue as to how they are being created.
For example, if you have a gallery page named 'gallery', are the duplicated folders on your server named 'gallery-2', 'gallery-3', etc. or do they use a different format such as 'gallery (2)', 'gallery (3)', etc.?

Take a look at your showkase/_data/pagesdata.txt file in a plain text editor. I expect you might find all the duplicate folders listed in here.
If so, and your Showkase site is self-contained in its own folder (with no non-Showkase content in the Showkase root directory), then the following might work.

(1) If you are not already using the latest version of Showkase (v1.6.1), please upgrade following the Upgrading Showkase instructions.

(2) Manually delete any duplicate folders on your server that you know are not part of your actual Showkase site.

(3) Run 'System -> Repairs -> Repair' to rebuild the page records.

If this does not work, here are a few other things to try.

Try installing a fresh Showkase site into a new subdirectory on your server to see if the same thing happens with this new site. As long as you install the new site into a folder of its own, it should not interfere with your existing site and it will be self contained (so it can easily be deleted after testing if necessary).

If duplicate folders are created within the new site, then this would suggest that the problem is somehow related to your web server or its settings (although I would really need access to both your server and existing Showkase site in order to try to determine the cause of the problem).

If the new site seems to function OK without creating duplicate folders, then you could perhaps use this site as your main site and import the pages from your original site (via Showkase's 'Site -> Import' functionality) to avoid the need to recreate them from scratch.
You could then move the new site into the location of the original site (deleting the original site first) by following the Changing Your Installation Directory instructions.

Hopefully the suggestions above will help.

Important note:
Please take a full backup of your existing site before trying any of the above, just in case anything goes wrong and you need to reinstate your original files at a later date.

Kosel 1.5.0

First of all, it might be wise to upgrade to the latest version of Showkase (v1.6.1) to ensure that any bugs that were present in v1.5.0 and which have since been fixed are not contributing to any layout problems that you may be having.
Please see the Version History for a list of changes between versions.
Instructions for upgrading Showkase can be found here.

title( center align)

main menu (center align)

This might be quite difficult to achieve. The Kosel theme was designed to have a left-justified site heading and a right-justified navigation menu sharing the same horizontal space.
It might be better (certainly much easier) to use the Boma theme and force Showkase to display the site in small screen mode where the site heading is horizontally centered and the navigation menu is horizontally centered below it.
To see this in action, try viewing this demo Boma themed site in a narrow browser window.
In order to force Showkase to always display Boma pages in small screen mode, you would need to change the breakpoints at which Showkase switches from large to small screen mode.
Open the showkase/_themes/boma/css/styles.css file in a plain text editor, search for instances of:

@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {

... and change the min-width values to something much larger, such as 9999px (so that the minimum width for large screen mode is never reached).
You might not want to change all the breakpoints, though. You might like to leave the gallery index page breakpoints unchanged to prevent the gallery index page thumbnails from being displayed too large in large browser windows.

gallery(center align)

Galleries should already be horizontally centered in Showkase pages by default. If you find that they are not, then please post the URLs to your gallery pages so that I can take a look for myself and hopefully help further.
Please note that galleries will not be vertically centered as Showkase pages are designed to scroll vertically rather than display all content in the browser viewport without scroll bars. Juicebox and Showkase galleries should be displayed in their entirety though, without the need for vertical scrolling. If you have a large site heading that you find is pushing your galleries down your Showkase pages, then you can compensate for this by entering a negative value for the 'External fit px' entry in the 'Site -> Customize Theme -> Gallery Pages' section (e.g. '-200').

footer page(center align)

Add the following CSS to your showkase/_themes/kosel/css/custom.css file:

footer {
    text-align: center;
}

More information on using custom CSS can be found in the Adding Custom Styles support section.

Be sure to re-publish your site after making any changes.

You are free to make whatever CSS modifications you like to your Showkase site but please note that modifications made outside the Showkase interface are not officially supported. (Showkase may expect elements to be in certain positions and will not be aware of any CSS modifications that you may make.)

If you plan to make many custom modifications to a theme, then you might like to consider creating your own theme instead. Please see the Creating Themes support section for details.

If you go to our own Photoshop plugin support page here, you will find two options:

(1) Photoshop CC 2015
(2) Photoshop CS2 to CS6

If you click the first link in the CC 2015 section, you will be taken to the Adobe Add-ons web site where you can install the plugin via the Creative Cloud Desktop App.

If you click the only link in the CS2 to CS6 section, then you will directly download the plugin in zip format.
You can then install the plugin following the instructions on the support page.

If you have Photoshop CC, you can use either method.
If you have a version of Photoshop prior to CC, you should use the CS2 to CS6 method.

I've tested the current Juicebox-Pro plugin with Photoshop CC 2015.5 myself and it installed via the Adobe Add-ons page successfully (through the Creative Cloud Desktop App).
I also tested the installation process with multiple versions of Photoshop installed side by side (CC 2015 and CC2015.5) and the plugin installed successfully to both installations simultaneously.
The only problem I encountered was that if I installed a new version of Photoshop and immediately tried to install the plugin, it would not work. I found that I had to reboot my PC first. After rebooting, everything worked as expected.

I'm glad you've been able to install the plugin by copying the 'Juicebox' folder from one 'Scripts' directory into another.
(That's all the auto-installer does anyway - unpack the files into the 'Scripts' directory.)

If you find that you ever need a fresh copy of the plugin, you can download it in zip format from the support page on our own website here. (Just download the CS2 - CS6 version. The files are exactly the same as the CC 2015 version. It's just the method of packaging the files that differs.)

If your Showkase site is in a subdirectory, then you can made it accessible from your root (without having to move the entire site) by following the 5 step instructions in the Showkase Home Page support section.

If you really want to move your site into your root, then please see the Changing Your Installation Directory support section for details.

I would recommend the first suggestion above. It does not require moving your entire site and keeping Showkase self-contained in its own subdirectory should help to keep things organized on your web server.

I see the problem that you describe on mobile devices.
The problem seems to be with trying to insert your Showkase Gallery Index Page into a non-Showkase page.

If you view the Gallery Index Page on its own, it is responsive and looks fine on a mobile device.

It would be easy enough to embed a Juicebox gallery created by Showkase into a non-Showkase page (using the baseUrl method) but I don't think there's an easy way to insert an entire Gallery Index Page into a non Showkase page (and have it be responsive and look good in all browser viewport sizes).

The problem seems to be that your web page's layout truncates the height of your iframe on mobile devices.
(This would be the case no matter what content you load into the iframe.)

Your fluid layout looks quite complicated (there seems to be a lot of CSS code relating to it) so it would probably be quite a task to try to get it working well in all browser sizes.

However, here are a few suggestions which might help.

(1) Try using a regular iframe (without any fluid resizing) with a fixed height (rather than a percentage) suitable for the Showkase Gallery Index Page content.
You could maybe use a JavaScript routine to determine when a small screen device is being used and set a different height for the iframe under these conditions.

(2) When you select a gallery from the Gallery Index Page in the iframe, the gallery will still be contained in the iframe. (The iframe size will not change to reflect the change in content. Even if you sorted out the iframe for the Gallery Index Page, there might still be a problem with the gallery pages.)
You could perhaps create your own gallery index page. Some manual work would be required but including a couple of image links directly in your web page would do away with the need for an iframe completely.
For each gallery, you could create a separate page, using your own navigation menu and embedding the gallery using the baseUrl method. (The galleries would still be managed via the Showkase interface.)

(3) Another possible solution would be to use Showkase for your entire site (for your gallery and non-gallery pages).
The Kosel theme has a top menu (like you current site does) and Showkase supports non-gallery features like a contact form (which your current site has).
It might take a bit of work to port your site over to Showkase but it might ultimately be the best solution as all pages would be responsive and display well on mobile devices.

If you really want to include the Gallery Index Page in your non-Showkase page, then an iframe is the only way to do it (although Showkase was not really designed to be loaded into an iframe).
The Gallery Manager theme was designed to create full-screen gallery pages with no navigation to minimize style clashes with the rest of your site. Galleries can be linked to (on their own full-screen pages, with a Back Button to return to the original page) or embedded in existing pages alongside other content (like my second suggestion above).

Hopefully one of these suggestions will help.

If I purchase Showkase standard will I be limited to a maximum number of images per gallery?

Showkase Standard comes bundled with Juicebox-Lite and SimpleViewer-Standard, the free versions of the image viewers, both of which have a limit of 50 images per gallery.
Showkase Pro comes bundled with Juicebox-Pro and SimpleViewer-Pro, neither of which have an image limit.
The third gallery type, ListViewer (unique to Showkase) has no image limit in either Showkase Standard or Showkase Pro.
Here is a demo ListViewer gallery.
Please note that you could purchase Showkase Standard and, at a later date, purchase a Pro viewer and integrate it into Showkase by following the instructions here.

Does Showkase have the ability to password protect subfolders/galleries or albums?

Showkase does not feature password protection functionality. However, each page within a Showkase site has its own subdirectory. For example, if you create a page named 'Test Page', then a subdirectory named 'test-page' is created in your root Showkase directory. You could password-protect specific directories on your web server using .htaccess and .htpasswd files. Instructions can be found here.
Also, Juicebox-Pro (but not Juicebox-Lite) has the ability to password protect galleries (since v1.5.0).
Here is a demo password protected Juicebox-Pro gallery. (The password is 'juicebox'.)

Can I update galleries with new images on the fly?

This can be done if you use a Flickr account as a source of images for a Juicebox or SimpleViewer gallery. (No need for Pro viewers.) You can upload new images to your Flickr account and they will automatically be included in the Juicebox or SimpleViewer gallery.
It cannot be done for a gallery displaying local images (it is not possible to just upload an image to a directory via FTP and have it become part of an existing gallery) but it is very quick and easy to add images to an existing gallery using the Showkase interface.
Just edit the Showkase page containing the gallery, go to the 'Upload' tab, upload the new images and re-publish your site.
It should take only a couple of minutes from start to finish.

Thank you for the link to your gallery and for the additional information.

4. The issue of "Splash Page" I did not understand.

Your gallery sets showSplashPage="NEVER" so, on a mobile device, Small Screen Mode is used without a Splash Page.

I have now been able to replicate the problem in a test gallery of my own.
The problem is with Juicebox rather than Showkase.
It is caused by a combination of the following two configuration options in Small Screen Mode:

autoPlayOnLoad="TRUE"
showSmallThumbsOnLoad="FALSE"

I have logged a bug report with the developers and the problem should hopefully be resolved in the next version of Juicebox.

In the meantime, as you do not use the Splash Page or any regular Small Screen Mode functionality, you might be able to work around the problem by setting:

screenMode="LARGE"

... in the Juicebox Gallery Page's 'General (Pro)' section.

What browser(s) do you see the problem in (Mobile Chrome, Mobile Firefox, Mobile Safari)?
What Showkase theme do you use (Boma, Kosel, Maribo)?

Thank you.

I have been unable to replicate the problem myself so hopefully with some additional information and being able to see your own gallery for myself, I should hopefully be able to help further.

In the meantime, if you are currently viewing your Juicebox gallery over a 3G or 4G connection, please try using a wfi connection instead. This may or may not be relevant but it cannot do any harm. Perhaps this Juicebox FAQ will help:

It sounds like you've found what you were looking for.
Thank you for editing your post to let me know.

I expect that much of what your were looking to duplicate would be found in the _data folder.
For example, gallery settings for individual themes are stored in files such as:

showkase/_data/themedata/kosel/juicebox.xml

The _data folder is not part of the Showkase package. It is created when the gallery is setup. As such, it will not be overwritten if/when you upgrade Showkase.

Please check out this forum post for more detailed instructions for copying settings from one Showkase site to another.

Checking your website with Google's own PageSpeed Insights tool reveals the render-blocking JavaScript and CSS being referred to.
They are gallery and theme related external JavaScript and CSS files which are necessary for the functionality and styling of the content above-the-fold. (In a typical Showkase page, pretty much everything is above-the-fold.)

Suggestions to defer or asynchronously load them might not help much as your above-the-fold content would not look the way it should until the files are fully loaded anyway and there is not a great deal of code on a typical Showkase page that the render-blocking elements would be holding up.

If you like, you could certainly try deferring the loading of the theme related JavaScript files.
Open the showkase/_themes/base/pagetypes/basetheme.tpl file in a plain text editor and add the defer attribute to all <script> tags between lines 33 and 44 (the 'scriptlinks' section). Please note that the line numbers refer to the current version of Showkase (v1.6.1).
However, please be aware that this is not officially supported or tested and might even break your Showkase pages. (For example, if you defer the loading of the 'juicebox.js' gallery file in a Juicebox gallery page, the gallery will simply not display. The 'juicebox.js' gallery file cannot be deferred or loaded asynchronously. The file needs to have been loaded synchronously before the JavaScript embedding code is executed.)
It is certainly something that you could try, though. It is easy to revert if it does not help.
(Be sure to re-publish your site after making any modifications to source files.)

The other suggestion to inline the code would probably also not help much in real terms and would require the structure of Showkase to be changed significantly.
The render-blocking JavaScript and CSS is mostly theme related and I expect that restructuring Showkase to inline the theme code (rather than have it modular in discrete external files) would make maintaining themes and creating new ones a much more difficult process.

Just for the record, I picked a couple of websites at random (youtube.com and wordpress.org), analyzed them with the test website you quoted and got exactly the same message that you reported. It does not seem to be an not uncommon occurrence.

Incidentally, the test website's own pop-up results page (after clicking 'See what to fix') does not fit within my laptop's screen and I have to press F11 to go fullscreen to see the close button. Even though their own web page passes all their own tests, usability is perhaps more important than ultimate speed (although it would be nice to have both in an ideal world).

Ok. If you do changes in index.html how can i keep them because index.html gets overriden everytime i click publish.
Is it possible to do changes and keep them when you click publish.

No. Any changes to the HTML files generated by Showkase will always be overwritten when the site is next published.
Showkase recreates all pages from scratch. It is not possible to leave sections untouched.
If you cannot customize your pages to your liking with the available configuration options and by using the custom CSS and JavaScript files (see the Adding Custom Styles support section for details) then you could modify the source template files that Showkase uses to create the HTML pages.
Take a look at the TPL files in the 'showkase/_themes/base/pagetypes/' folder.
The 'layout.tpl' and 'basetheme.tpl' apply to all pagetypes and the other TPL files apply to individual page types (the TPL filenames correspond to the page types they refer to).
Open these TPL files in a plain text editor and hopefully you will find the right places to make your modifications.
Any modifications you make to these files will be carried over to the generated HTML pages on publishing.

For anyone looking to customize Showkase beyond what is possible via the interface, please see the Customization support pages.

Yes i have upgraded to v1.5.0 but im still able, from Chrome, to save the whole page and in that directory i find all the pictures that are in the Gallery ?? How is that possible ? showdownloadbutton is FALSE.

Setting showDownloadButton="FALSE" will ensure that Juicebox-Pro's Download Button is not displayed on the gallery's own Button Bar.
However, it does not disable core browser functionality (such as Chrome's 'Save page as...' feature).

If a user is determined to download an image and is familiar with the structure of a Juicebox gallery, it is possible to view the source of the web page in a browser, find the URL of the XML file and view this file to find the image URL. There is nothing that can be done to prevent a user from doing this (as the 'View Source' functionality is built into each browser).
Anything you do to try to prevent a user from directly viewing an image will also prevent Juicebox from doing the same.

It is also not possible to prevent users from taking a screenshot of the web page displaying the image.
To deter users from doing so, you might like to watermark your images. You could use JuiceboxBuilder-Pro (the desktop application which comes with Juicebox-Pro) to watermark your images. Please see the Adding Watermarks support section for details.
You could then import the gallery (with watermarked images) into your Showkase site using Showkase's 'Site -> Import' functionality.

It might also be wise to ensure that your images are of a file size suitable for web gallery use but not large enough for other purposes (such as printing).

Setting showDownloadButton="FALSE" and showOpenButton="FALSE", disabling the right-click context menu (by using Juicebox v.1.5.0), watermarking your images and making sure that your images are not too large are probably the best preventative steps you can take and should hopefully deter the casual user from downloading your images.

How can i group few galleries under one main gallery and when i click on that main gallery, it will not display any pictures (from main gallery) but
will continue to display all the pictures from the first subgallery.

I'm not exactly sure what you are looking to do.
It sounds like what you are looking to do might not be possible with Showkase but using a Gallery Index Page might be a suitable compromise.

You can group multiple different Gallery Pages under either a Gallery Index Page or another Gallery Page.

If multiple different Gallery Pages are grouped under a Gallery Index Page, then on the Gallery Index Page, each gallery will be represented by a thumbnail image which, when clicked, will open the corresponding gallery.

If multiple different Gallery Pages are grouped under a Gallery Page, then when the top-level Gallery Page is selected, the top-level gallery will be displayed and there will be links to all the other galleries in the navigation menu.

Please note that the Contact Form within Showkase requires PHP mail support on the server and this is the only method that is officially supported.

However, as Showkase uses PHPMailer internally, you could try the following.
Open the 'showkase/admin/plugins/contact/master/contactcore/contact.php' file in a plain text editor and change line 21 from:

$mailer->isMail();

... to:

//Tell PHPMailer to use SMTP
$mailer->isSMTP();

//Enable SMTP debugging
// 0 = off (for production use)
// 1 = client messages
// 2 = client and server messages
$mailer->SMTPDebug = 2;

//Ask for HTML-friendly debug output
$mailer->Debugoutput = 'html';

//Set the hostname of the mail server
$mailer->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';

// use
// $mailer->Host = gethostbyname('smtp.gmail.com');
// if your network does not support SMTP over IPv6
//Set the SMTP port number - 587 for authenticated TLS, a.k.a. RFC4409 SMTP submission
$mailer->Port = 587;

//Set the encryption system to use - ssl (deprecated) or tls
$mailer->SMTPSecure = 'tls';

//Whether to use SMTP authentication
$mailer->SMTPAuth = true;

//Username to use for SMTP authentication - use full email address for gmail
$mailer->Username = "username@gmail.com";

//Password to use for SMTP authentication
$mailer->Password = "yourpassword";

This code was taken from the gmail.phps example file from the PHPMailer package.

You will need to fill in your own unique SMTP details (as noted in the comments within the code).

You might also need to ensure that the 'From' address is a valid email address.
Try changing line 91 from:

$mailer->setFrom('mailer'.strstr($siteEmail, '@'), $userName);

... to:

$mailer->setFrom('username@gmail.com', $userName);

If you find that it does not work, then here are a few things to try.

  • Try setting Host to gethostbyname('smtp.gmail.com') instead of 'smtp.gmail.com'.

  • Try setting Port to 465 instead of 587.

  • Try setting SMTPSecure to 'ssl' instead of 'tls'.

  • If your Google account uses 2-Step-Verification, try using an App Password (and setting it as Username above).

  • Try allowing less secure apps to access your account.
