Search options (Page 23 of 39)

Showkase makes extensive use of 'alt' attributes for images throughout a site.

(1) In a Site Header logo, an 'alt' attribute is used, populated by the web site title (from 'Site -> Site Settings').

(2) In a Library image inserted into a page via the editor, an 'alt' attribute is used, populated by the 'Alternative Text' input on the editor's Image pop-up window.

(3) In a ListViewer gallery, 'alt' attributes are used, populated by the image titles (on the 'Images' tab).

(4) In a Juicebox gallery, 'alt' attributes are used in the dynamically generated code (populated by the image titles) and in the SEO content code (populated by the image captions). If you want SEO content code to be included in your Juicebox gallery pages, be sure to select the 'Add SEO Content' checkbox in the 'Gallery Lite Options' section. This is selected by default.

(5) Images within a SimpleViewer gallery are displayed as part of a Flash presentation and are not displayed using HTML <img> tags. However, you can still display SEO content code for SimpleViewer gallery pages and 'alt' attributes are used in the <img> tags here, populated by the image captions (on the 'Images' tab).

If you find any instances where 'alt' attributes are not used in <img> tags in a Showkase site, please let me know.
Thank you.

The meta viewport tag is required only for a full-browser gallery where the gallery has dimensions of 100% x 100% and is the only content on the page.
In Juicebox Gallery Pages within Showkase, Showkase usually has other content on the page (such as the header and the footer) and Showkase already includes a meta viewport tag in every page (even in Juicebox Gallery Pages under the Gallery Manager theme which displays only the gallery and no other content).
Therefore, all Juicebox v1.4.4.1 galleries within Showkase v1.4.0.1 should display fine in iOS 9.

(The meta viewport tag which is currently used for Juicebox Gallery Pages under the Gallery Manager theme will work fine in iOS 9 but it is not the full tag recommended in our recent blog entry. This should be addressed for the next version of Showkase.)

@saidn

Yes. If you want to include custom HTML code at the bottom of all your Showkase pages, then you could add it just before the closing </body> tag (on line 35) in the 'showkase/_themes/base/pagetypes/layout.tpl' file.
The line number above refers to the current version of Showkase (v1.4.0.1).

If you had pure JavaScript code (rather than HTML code such as JavaScript within <script> tags) which you wanted to appear in all pages, then you could add it to your theme's 'custom.js' file, for example 'showkase/_themes/kosel/js/custom.js'.

Incidentally, Showkase has built-in support for Google Analytics. You can enter your Web Property ID in the 'Site -> Google Analytics' section.

Open the 'showkase/_themes/base/pagetypes/basetheme.tpl' page in a plain text editor and add the following line of code immediately after {block "meta"} at the beginning of the file.

<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />

This code will be included in all your Showkase pages and will prevent your site from being indexed (assuming the search engines respect this, which they should).

Alternatively, if your site is running on Apache, you could add the following line of code to your .htaccess file in your Showkase root directory:

Header set X-Robots-Tag "noindex, nofollow"

This would avoid having to modify any Showkase source code.

It looks like this might be the root of the problem: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/email-service … 24016.html

In order to work around this problem, please try the following:
(1) Open the 'showkase\admin\plugins\contact\master\contactcore\contact.php' in a plain text editor.
(2) Change line 84 from:

$mailer->setFrom($userEmail, $userName);

... to something like:

$mailer->setFrom('showkase@site.com', $userName);

... using a valid email address from the same domain as your web site.
(3) Republish your site.

When email enquiries come through to you, they will have whatever address you entered in the 'From' field but the 'Reply To' field will still have the user's own email address.

I'm glad to hear it's now working for you. Thank you for letting me know.
I expected my suggestion would work (but I couldn't test it as I could not replicate your problem) so I expect your most recent problem was, indeed, due to caching.

You're welcome.

I'm not sure a permanent fix is going to be possible. It looks like the 'fitvids' JavaScript library might not have been designed with multi-column displays in mind.

However, here's another suggestion which you might like to try.

(1) Set the 'Body text layout' to '1-column wide'.

(2) Add your video iframe embedding code to the editor, such as:

<p class="vid"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CH880_VrxxU" width="560"></iframe></p>
<p class="vid"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CH880_VrxxU" width="560"></iframe></p>
<p class="vid"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CH880_VrxxU" width="560"></iframe></p>

(3) Add the following to your 'showkase/_themes/kosel/css/custom.css' file:

@media only screen and (min-width: 768px) {
  .body-content .vid {
    width: 49%;
  }
  .vid:nth-child(odd) {
    float: left;
  }
  .vid:nth-child(even) {
    float: right;
  }
}

The suggestion above, using a single-column layout for your video page or disabling 'fitvids.js' are possibly your best options. (I would probably edge towards a single-column layout for your video page as this will retain the responsive video functionality that 'fitvids' provides.)

New for v1.4.0:

Please see the Version History for a full list of changes.
Instructions for upgrading Showkase can be found here.

You're welcome!

I'm sure they'll take a look as soon as they can (although, unfortunately, I don't have a timescale for you) and I'll post back here with any news as and when I have any.

In the meantime, if you really want to have responsive videos in your site, you could always revert to a single column layout (narrow or wide) for your video page (rather than remove the 'fitvids.js' code).

You can change the Caption Back Top Color (and Caption Back Top Opacity) either in 'Site -> Customize Viewers' (which will apply to all Juicebox galleries under the current theme) or in the Juicebox Gallery Page (which will override the theme-wide settings).
If you change the values in the Juicebox Gallery Page and then change the values in 'Site -> Customize Viewers', then custom values in the Juicebox Gallery Page will still be the ones used.

I have just double-checked using the latest version of Showkase (v1.4.0.1) and it seems to work fine.

Please try again (changing the values in the the Juicebox Gallery Page), click 'Update' and 'Publish' and try clearing your browser's cache after making the changes.

Thank you for reporting this problem.
I have been able to replicate the problem in a test site of my own and I have notified the developers who will investigate further.
In the meantime, it looks like a possible workaround might be to remove the 'fitvids.js' script from your page (as you suggest). The video dimensions will no longer be responsive but the videos should no longer be cut in half.
If you just want to remove it from your 'Video' page, open the 'video/index.html' file in a plain text editor and remove the following code (near the bottom of the page).

<script src="/showkase/_themes/base/js/jquery.fitvids.js"></script>
<script>
    $("section.content").fitVids();
</script>

(Please note that if you edit the page and re-publish, the code will reappear.)
