Re: Thumbnails quality [SOLVED] (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Make sure that you set the 'Thumb width' and 'Thumb height' (and 'Save' the changes) before you upload the images for your gallery.
If you set the 'Thumb width' and 'Thumb height' after uploading the images, go to the 'Advanced' tab (whilst editing the gallery page) and click the 'Rebuild' link (the only option in the 'Gallery repairs and updates' section). This will re-create the gallery's thumbnails using the new dimensions.
Be sure to re-publish your site after clicking 'Rebuild'. You may also need to clear your browser's cache to see the changes.
This should hopefully solve your problem.

Not a big problem to fix (just a typo) but a small bug, nonetheless, so thank you for reporting it!

Re: Back button (4 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
This problem will be fixed in the next version but if you want to implement the fix yourself just now, it should be quite easy to do.
Open the showkase/admin/plugins/juicebox/defaults.ini file in a plain text editor and change line 134 from:
BackButtonUseIcon = "false"
... to:
backButtonUseIcon = "false"
... (note the lowercase 'b' at the beginning).
Be sure to republish your site after making the change.
Otherwise, you can still use the Back Button using text instead of the icon until the next version is released.
Please note that the line number above refers to the current version of Showkase (v1.6.1).

Re: Contact Page email problem (1.5) (15 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
I'm sorry to hear that running PHPMailer in debug more produced less error output than before.
Have you checked with your web host to ensure that PHP mail is enabled and set up correctly on your hosting account? If so, what did they say?
If you have not yet contacted them, please ask them why PHP mail does not seem to work on your hosting account. They may be able to tell you right away exactly what the problem is.
I'd be happy to investigate further myself but I'd really need access to your web server.
If you are agreeable to this, please let me know and I'll send you an email address where you can forward your FTP details to me.
Thank you.

Thank you for letting me know.
Just to clarify (and for others reading this thread), custom colors set in the 'Site -> Customize Theme -> Custom Palette' section will become active only after selecting 'custom' as the 'Overall color scheme' in the 'Site -> Customize Theme -> Color Scheme' section.

Re: Contact Page email problem (1.5) (15 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
I did not republish the page (should I have done so?) as this script is not part of the theme.
Yes, you'll need to republish your site after making the modifications. Sorry for not mentioning it before.
When you publish the site, Showkase will copy the contact form files from the 'master' folder into the '_viewers' folder (which is used in the live site).
Hopefully using PHPMailer in debug mode and without suppressing errors will result in a more detailed message which will help to determine the exact cause of the problem.

Re: About page [SOLVED] (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
No problem. I'm glad you've got it sorted out.
The About page has a different layout to other page types and expects an image to be used (and displayed on the right), hence the 'Image Url' input field (with the 'Browse Library' button) which other page types (such as the Basic page) do not have.
In the About page, space is reserved on the right for an image (the 'Image Url') and whatever you enter into the editor will be displayed on the left.

Re: Contact form and translation [SOLVED] (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Edit: solved with edit index.html
If you manually edit any of the HTML pages generated by Showkase, your modifications will be overwritten the next time you publish your site.
Instead, edit the showkase/_themes/base/pagetypes/contact.tpl file (the file that Showkase uses to generate the HTML pages).
You can change the 'Name' on line 68:
<label for="name">Name <span class="required">*</span></label>
... the 'Send' button's label on line 76:
<input type="submit" id="submitbtn" value="Send">
... and the "Please complete all entries" text on line 77.
Be sure to publish your site after editing the 'contact.tpl' file.
Please note that the line numbers above refer to the current version of Showkase (v1.6.1).

Re: About page [SOLVED] (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
By default, the About page under the Kosel theme is designed to display text to the left and an image to the right.
There is no need to worry about the page layout or HTML tags.
Try the following.
(1) Upload the image you'd like to display on your About page to the Library ('Library -> Upload').
(2) Create a new About page.
(3) In the 'Page Content' section of the About page, click the 'Browse Library' button (next to the 'Image Url' box) and select the image.
(4) Enter your text in the editor (there is no need to enter 'Source' mode or use any HTML tags).
(5) 'Save' the page and 'Publish' the site.
Hopefully this will give you the layout you are looking for.

Re: Contact Page email problem (1.5) (15 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
I see the problem you have with your Contact Page.
The problem still looks to be related to PHP mail support on your web server.
Is there something I ed to add in .htaccess?
You should not need to add anything to your .htaccess file for the mail functionality to work but there could potentially be an entry already in your .htaccess file which is somehow preventing the mail functionality from working.
You could try temporarily removing your .htaccess file completely to see if this make a difference.
Showkase uses PHPMailer to send contact form emails.
If you Google "PHPMailer Could not instantiate mail function", you'll find a lot of pages and suggestions. The problem could be one of many.
It might be an idea to run PHPMailer in debug mode to see if it produces a more detailed error message.
Open the showkase/admin/plugins/contact/master/contactcore/class.phpmailer.php file in a plain text editor and change line 316 from:
public $SMTPDebug = 0;
... to:
public $SMTPDebug = 2;
Also, remove the @ characters (before 'mail') from line 629:
$result = @mail($to, $subject, $body, $header);
... and line 631:
$result = @mail($to, $subject, $body, $header);
Hopefully this will generate a more detailed error message and point us in the right direction.
Please note that the line numbers above refer to the current version of Showkase (v1.6.1).

Re: Juicebox Pro upgrade not working [SOLVED] (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
As long as you are following the Install a Pro Viewer instructions, all your Juicebox galleries should be upgraded successfully.
After republishing your site, try clearing your browser's cache to ensure that your browser uses the most recent versions of your gallery files.
If you like, please post the URL to your gallery's web page so that I can take a look. I'll report back to let you know what I see (Juicebox-Lite or Juicebox-Pro) and if I find anything odd with your Showkase installation.
Incidentally, if you have Showkase-Pro (rather than Showkase-Standard), then you might like to try upgrading Showkase-Pro itself. The current version of Showkase-Pro (v1.6.1) comes bundled with the latest version of Juicebox-Pro (v1.5.1).

Re: Kosel theme and Basic page [SOLVED] (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
If you are not entering any text for the 'Page title', then the space at the top of the image will be slightly less than the space at the bottom.
Perhaps the easiest method to increase the space at the top would be to enter some non-visible content for the 'Page title' in the form of some empty HTML tags, for example <span></span>.
Entering a non-breaking space instead should increase the space some more.
If you want more control over the space, then you can use CSS in your theme's 'custom.css' file.
Open the '_themes/kosel/css/custom.css' file in a plain text editor and enter the following:
.type-basic .page-title:empty {
margin-bottom: 18px;
}
This will add a margin (of 18px, which you can change if necessary) to the bottom of empty page titles on all 'Basic' pages.
You could use further CSS selectors to apply this rule to only one specific page if you like, for example:
.page-2 .page-title:empty {
margin-bottom: 18px;
}
You can check which CSS class to use by viewing the source of your web page in a browser and checking the classes used in the <body> tag.
More information about 'Adding Custom Styles' can be found here.
If you find that this does not help, then please post the URL to the web page that you are referring to so that I can take a look at the code that you are using and help further.
Thank you.

Re: Contact Page email problem (1.5) (15 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
The contact form requires PHP mail support on the server (noted in the Version History for v1.4.0).
It sounds like this is not currently available on your hosting account.
Please check with your web host to make sure that PHP mail is enabled.
This should hopefully solve your problem.

446 2016-06-01 09:31:46
Re: Gradation on caption [SOLVED] (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
It looks like your problem has something to do with the caption gradient (captionBackTopColor) which was introduced in Juicebox-Pro v1.4.4 and perhaps more specifically the change to its default value for Small Screen Mode in v1.4.4.1.
For reference, these changes are noted in the Juicebox Version History.
Make sure that both captionBackColor and captionBackTopColor (both found in the 'Color' options section) are exactly the same (color and opacity) and there should be no gradient effect.
Also, to be sure that default values are not being used (which might be the cause of your problem in your chosen theme and color scheme), set them both to non-default values. (Just change the color or opacity to values fractionally different to the defaults and all should hopefully be well.)

Re: New Juicebox features [SOLVED] (4 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Unfortunately, not yet.
Upgrading Showkase to use Juicebox-Pro v1.5.0 replaces the core Juicebox files but does not change the Showkase interface.
Showkase itself needs to be updated to incorporate all the new Juicebox configuration options.
There will be a new version of Showkase released soon with full support for Juicebox-Pro v1.5.0 and all its new features.
I do not have an exact release date but it should not be too far away.

Re: Add facebook like/share button on mp4 [SOLVED] (7 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Thank for you the clarification.
Here is one possible solution. Hopefully the comments in the code will help.
It uses the JavaScript SDK Version of the Facebook Like Button. You'll need to replace the sample Facebook Like Button code below with your own (and also make sure that the path to your video file is correct in the video tag).
<!-- Wrap video tag and Facebook Like Button in parent container with position relative -->
<div id="wrap" style="position: relative;">
<!-- Video tag -->
<video src="/movie.mp4" width="800" controls>Your browser does not support the video tag.</video>
<!-- Facebook Like Button - JavaScript SDK Version - Code from Step 2 -->
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.6";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
<!-- Facebook Like Button - JavaScript SDK Version - Code from Step 3 -->
<div class="fb-like" data-href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/" data-layout="standard" data-action="like" data-show-faces="true" data-share="true"></div>
</div>
<!-- jQuery script section -->
<script>
// Execute following when DOM is complete
$(document).ready(function() {
// Show Facebook Like Button only when mouseover video
$('#wrap').hover(function(){
// Mouseenter
$('.fb-like').first().show();
}, function(){
// Mouseleave
$('.fb-like').first().hide();
});
// Initially hide Facebook Like Button, stack it on top of video and position it in corner of video
$('.fb-like').first().css({
'display': 'none',
'position': 'absolute',
'top': '10px',
'left': '10px',
'z-index': '999'
});
});
</script>

Re: Add facebook like/share button on mp4 [SOLVED] (7 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
You can insert whatever HTML code you like (for example an <iframe> or <video> tag) into the text editor on your 'Basic' page.
Just make sure that your text editor is in 'Source' mode (click the 'Source' button in the text editor's toolbar).
For example, if you want to host a video on your own web server and embed it into a 'Basic' page, then try the following:
(1) Upload the video file to your web server. In this example, we'll call it 'movie.mp4' and upload it to the root directory.
(2) Enter something like the following code into the text editor (in 'Source' mode), changing the width as necessary:
<video src="/movie.mp4" width="800" controls>Your browser does not support the video tag.</video>
The leading slash in the 'src' attribute denotes your root directory. If you upload your video file to a location other that your root directory, make sure that the path to the video file is correct. (If it is a relative path, then it should be relative to the 'Basic' page's location, i.e. one directory down from the Showkase directory.)
More information about the <video> tag and its attributes can be found here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/W … ment/video
