Search options (Page 23 of 38)

Using the Library to store an image and the Image icon in the editor to include the image in a page is probably the best option (whether you use the image as a link or not) to include an image in any page type that does not display images by default. No manual coding is required and Showkase automatically deals with the image sizing (dynamically resizing the image if necessary when the browser window is resized) by adding class="sk-auto-height" to the <img> tag.

(1) This is still not possible. In the Kosel theme, submenu entries are present only on the pages to which they are relevant.
For example, the "Bio / Exhibits Reviews / Interviews Studio" links are only present on the "About the Artist" page.
If you are on the "Abstract Work" page, then the "Bio / Exhibits Reviews / Interviews Studio" links are not part of the current page so there is no way to display them when hovering over "About the Artist".
Showkase would need to be modified so that all submenu entries are always present in all pages and that relevant ones are visible only when the corresponding main menu entries are hovered over.
This would be difficult to achieve (In-depth knowledge of the Showkase source code would be required.)
If you like, you could post this as a suggestion for a future version of Showkase in the Feature Requests forum thread.
This keeps all the ideas together and ensures that they are not overlooked by the developers.
A possible workaround would be to use the Boma theme (which uses a side menu rather than a top menu) and select 'Show all subnav' (in the 'Site -> Customize Theme -> Navigation' section) so that all submenu entries are always visible.

(2) Select 'Enable direct links' in a Juicebox gallery page's 'General' section and you will be able to use URLs such as http://www.example.com/showkase/gallery/#2 to link directly to individual images within the gallery. (The number after the # in the URL refers to the image number in the gallery.)
Please see the General section of the Juicebox Config Options page for a short description of the enableDirectLinks option.

Unfortunately, this might be difficult to achieve as Showkase was not designed with this in mind.
The height of the body content container is determined by the amount of content within it. The body content container's height is not fixed and, therefore, its content cannot be expanded to fill the area.
You should be able to set a fixed height for the body content container via CSS, though.
You can add custom CSS to your Showkase site by following the instructions in the Adding Custom Styles and Fonts support section.
The classes you might need to add rules to are 'page-body' and 'body-content'.
Knowing the container's height, you can then set an appropriate line height.
I hope this points you in the right direction.

You're welcome!

If you are getting errors during FTP, then this could certainly cause problems.
Try re-uploading any files that failed to transfer successfully first time around or upload the Showkase zip file directly to your web server and unzip it from within your web hosting's online cPanel (an alternative to unzipping the file on your computer and then uploading all the individual files separately via FTP). As long as the zip file uploads completely, once you unzip it on your server, there should be no issues with corrupt or missing files.
If the Showkase Server Compatibility Test passes, then there is unlikely to be any problem with sessions variables and if you are already running another instance of Showkase on the same server, then the problem may just due to the uploading of the files. Hopefully unzipping the Showkase zip file on your server will help.

It is not possible to change the currency during purchase (to actually pay in GBP) but you can still use a UK debit or credit card to buy Showkase. Your card issuer will convert the amount to GBP for you (please check with them for their current rates) and they may, or may not, charge a non-sterling transaction fee (again, please check with them to be sure). Some may charge a flat fee of around £1.50, others may charge a percentage of the transaction and others may not charge at all. It really depends on your card issuer and their own terms and conditions.

Please check that the Showkase files have been uploaded to the correct location on your web server and make sure that they have permissions that are not too restrictive. Default permissions of 755 for folders and 644 for files should be fine.
If this does not help, then I might need access to your web server to see exactly what is going on so if you'd like me to take a look at the files on your server, please let me know and I will send you an email where you can send me your FTP login details.

For others reading this thread, instructions for upgrading Showkase can be found here.

Unfortunately, playAudioOnLoad is not supported on iOS or Android devices. (This is noted in the short description of the configuration option here.) Users must tap the Audio Button to start the audio playing.

Juicebox uses the browser's own native ability to play audio using the HTML Audio Element.
I cannot be sure but maybe the web sites that you have visited that have audio playing automatically use a third-party audio player.

I'm glad you've figured it out.
If it happens again, check the permissions on the folders ('System -> Files') in case they are somehow too restrictive resulting in Showkase being unable to move, rename or delete them if necessary (for example when renaming a page or moving a page to the trash).

I'm not sure what might be causing this but bear in mind that if you import a page or gallery (via 'Site -> Import') Showkase copies the required files (to create a new Showkase page) rather than moves the original files. This might be a possible cause for duplicate folders on your web server.
I can't think of any other reason why folders might be duplicated but I would recommend that you do not store any non-Showkase related files or folders in your Showkase directory. (If you are importing pages of galleries, I would recommend that you upload them to a location outside your Showkase directory before importing them.)
I'm not sure if this will help but it might point you in the right direction.

Thumbnails in Juicebox and SimpleViewer galleries are all the same size as each other and, by default, are square.
You can change the dimensions of the thumbnails to match the aspect ratio of your images via the Thumb width and Thumb height options in the Thumbnails (Pro Viewers Only) section of the gallery settings page (or in the 'Site -> Customize Viewers' section for the change to apply to all galleries).

Please note that if you have images of different aspect ratios in your gallery, then because all thumbnails are the same size, some thumbnails will display cropped images.

If you want only the content section of Basic, Gallery Index and Juicebox Gallery pages to have a gradient background, then try the following code in your theme's 'custom.css' file:

body.type-basic section.content, body.type-galleryindex section.content, body.type-juicebox section.content {
    background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#ff0000, #0000ff);
    background: -o-linear-gradient(#ff0000, #0000ff);
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(#ff0000, #0000ff);
    background: linear-gradient(#ff0000, #0000ff);
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Also, you will need to ensure that your Juicebox galleries have transparent backgrounds by setting the Gallery Background Opacity to '0' (zero) in the gallery settings in the Showkase interface.
