Yes, this is fine (for this new release).
The only change in the v1.4.4.2 release (from v1.4.4.1) is to JuiceboxBuilder-Pro (the desktop application) which now includes the required meta viewport tag in the gallery's 'index.html' file.
The core Juicebox files (in the 'jbcore' folder) remain the same as in the v1.4.4.1 release so the internal version of Juicebox-Pro is still v1.4.4.1.
For more information on the new Juicebox-Pro v1.4.4.2 release, please see this blog entry.

@saidn
Is this also where we would put javascript tracking code from, say, StatCounter?
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.

Re: I don't want to be searched through Google search (1 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
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.

Re: Error message when Publish updates (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
OK. Thanks for the update.
As I mentioned, this may only become a problem if or when your site becomes really large and Showkase needs a longer time to process all your pages and/or images.
If it does become a problem, you'll see an error message rather than just a warning.
Even if your web host in unable or unwilling to allow the use of set_time_limit(), as long as you do not see an error message, you should be able to continue using Showkase successfully.

Re: Cannot send mails to Yahoo, Gmail & Hotmail due DMARC [SOLVED] (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
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.

Re: Error message when Publish updates (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
That sounds like a limitation imposed by your web host.
Maybe you could contact them and ask them to enable set_time_limit() in your PHP settings.
Do you see a "You have warning messages, continue with publishing?" alert box?
What happens if you click 'OK'?
As long as you don't have a huge number of pages or images in your site, it is likely that the publishing will complete successfully (within the default time limit) and you can just skip these warnings although there may come a time, if you plan to have a large site, when this becomes a problem. The solution is to allow Showkase to use the PHP set_time_limit() function to increase the time allowed to complete the publishing process so, ideally, it needs to be enabled in your PHP settings.

Re: Basic page config issue (9 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
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.)

Re: CONTACT page : error message [SOLVED] (5 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
The contact form requires full PHP mail support and it sounds like your web host may have disabled some of this functionality.
You could perhaps contact your web host and ask if they would allow full PHP mail support on your hosting account (including the fifth parameter to the function which seems to currently be disabled).
Otherwise, you could try the following (although I do not know if it will work).
(1) Open the 'showkase/admin/plugins/contact/master/contactcore/class.phpmailer.php' file in a plain text editor.
(2) Change line 631 from:
$result = @mail($to, $subject, $body, $header, $params);... to:
$result = @mail($to, $subject, $body, $header);This should ensure that the fifth parameter ($params) is not used in the PHP mail function.

Re: gallery problem on smartphone (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Shouldn't it be sizing the image up to fill the width?
Juicebox will scale the image to fill the gallery's width only if there is sufficient height to do so.
The gallery needs to have enough space in both dimensions to scale the image so that it fills the gallery's width.
If your gallery was taller, then your wide image (Image #3) would be able to be scaled larger (in both dimensions, retaining its aspect ratio) and it would become wider (and taller).
By default, a Juicebox Galley Page will display the header at the required height and will then display the gallery with the bottom of the gallery resting at the bottom of the browser window. This is always the case whether the page is viewed in a desktop browser or on a mobile device.
Your logo is taking up more height than a standard text heading would, resulting in less height available for the gallery.
This will be most apparent on a mobile device in landscape mode.
You can compensate for this by instructing Showkase to increase the height of the gallery.
Edit your Juicebox Gallery Page, scroll down to the 'Override Theme Settings' section and enter a positive number for 'External fit px' to increase the height of the gallery by this number of pixels.
Try a value such as 200 for a starting point.
Hopefully this will help with your gallery's display on small screen devices.

Re: gallery problem on smartphone (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Thank you for reporting this problem.
It looks like a CSS conflict between Showkase and Juicebox which manifests itself only when a Gallery Title is displayed on a thumbnail page in Small Screen Mode.
I have logged a bug report but workarounds would be to avoid the above combination of circumstances by either:
(1) not using a Gallery Title, or
(2) setting screenMode="LARGE", or
(3) setting showSplashPage="AUTO", or
(4) setting showSmallThumbsOnLoad="FALSE" and showSmallThumbsButton="TRUE".
I realise these are not ideal solutions but hopefully they will keep you on the right track until the bug is fixed.

Re: Basic page config issue (9 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Any chance that the developers will get to this anytime soon?
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.
Truly, I'm grateful that this works as an interim measure, but it would be much better if the videos did size responsively like the rest of the site.
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).

Re: Image Padding (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
There is no configuration option to add padding to only one side of an image in a Juicebox gallery and I would advise against trying to do this with CSS as as Juicebox would not know of your modification and might expect gallery elements to be in certain places. This could have unforeseen and unwanted knock-on effects.
You might be able to reach a suitable solution with the available imagePadding and thumbPadding configuration options.

Re: New gradated caption bar (1 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
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.

Re: Basic page config issue (9 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
You could certainly remove lines 170-173 of the '_themes/base/pagetypes/basetheme.tpl' file which will prevent the 'fitvids.js' code from being included in all your Showkase pages (even after publishing).
<script src="{$ss_themesUrl}/base/js/jquery.fitvids.js"></script>
<script>
$("section.content").fitVids();
</script>The 'fitvids.js' code should affect only videos within Showkase pages so removing the code should have no other adverse effects. Just republish your site after removing the code and the 'fitvids.js' code will no longer be used.
Please note that the line numbers above refer to the current version of Showkase (v1.4.0.1).

Re: Basic page config issue (9 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
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.)

Re: Image Padding (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
If you change configuration options in the 'Site -> Customize Viewers' section, then they will apply to all galleries in the current theme. (Otherwise, if you just want to change configuration options for a specific gallery, you can do so by editing the gallery's own page.)
Either way, just be sure to click 'Update' and 'Publish' after making any changes.
I have just double-checked and the imagePadding is working fine when changed in the 'Site -> Customize Viewers' section. Please note that the imagePadding is applied to all sized of the image (not just the bottom).
Also, it should not be necessary but if you are not seeing the changes you make, try clearing your browser's cache before reloading your gallery's web page.

Re: Maribo (1 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Try copying the file '_data/themedata/kosel/juicebox.xml' to '_data/themedata/maribo/juicebox.xml' and then republishing your site.
If the directory '_data/themedata/maribo/' does not already exist, then you could either create it manually or modify a Juicebox gallery setting under the Maribo theme (in 'Site -> Customize Viewers -> Juicebox') in order for Showkase to create the directory.

Re: Switch mobile to desktop site option (1 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Showkase is already responsive and a Showkase site will adjust to the size of the user's browser window or screen.
Try viewing a Showkase site (demos can be found here) and reduce the size of your browser window or compare a desktop browser display with that of a mobile device. For example, on a small screen, the menu is hidden under a menu icon.
However, it is not possible to allow users to choose which display they want.
(I guess everything is technically possible but I expect it would require a huge amount of work and in-depth knowledge of the Showkase source code.)
Perhaps the best thing to do would be to post your suggestion in the Feature Requests forum thread.
This keeps all the ideas together and ensures that they are not overlooked by the developers.
I do not know what ideas will be implemented in future versions but this is certainly the best place for all suggestions.
Thank you.
Edit:
Thank you for posting your suggestion in the Feature Requests thread.
