Once you upload Showkase to your web server and start creating pages, your Showkase site is live.
If you plan to create a development or test site before your main website goes live, then please see the Managing Multiple Sites support section.
do I need to purchase another licence for another website build?
Please see this FAQ:
How many websites can I use Showkase on?
(You need a Showkase licence for each website domain.)
You're welcome.
I'm glad you are getting on well with Showkase!
I'm glad you have been able to find a workaround to your problem.
I have taken a look at your gallery and the problem is caused by the combination of the following two configuration options:
captionPosition="BELOW_IMAGE"
showImageOverlay="NEVER"
This is a known bug but it has already been addressed and will be fixed in the next version of Juicebox.
As you have discovered, in the meantime, the workaround would be to avoid this combination of options and to use a different value for either captionPosition or showImageOverlay.
If your gallery is a Juicebox-Pro gallery, then please ensure that you are using the most recent version (v1.3.3).
It sounds like you might be using an older version of Juicebox-Pro.
There was a bug in a previous version of Juicebox-Pro whereby captions disappeared when the Image Scale Mode was CROSS_FADE the Caption Position was either BOTTOM or BELOW_THUMBS.
This bug was fixed in Juicebox-Pro v1.3.2. Please see the Juicebox Version History for details.
If necessary, instructions for getting the latest version of Juicebox-Pro can be found here.
Instructions for 'Installing a Pro Viewer' within Showkase can be found here.
It this does not help, then please post the URL to your gallery so that I can investigate further.
It is possible to increase the Font Base Size in the 'Site -> Customize Theme -> Fonts' section.
If you just want to change the font size for the site header and navigation names, then you can add the following code to your chosen theme's 'custom.css' file, e.g. '_themes/kosel/css/custom.css':
header h1 {
font-size: 60px !important;
}
header nav ul li a {
font-size: 20px !important;
}
That's great!
I'm glad you have been able to resolve your problem.
Thank you for posting back to let me know.
System Requirements for Showkase can be found here.
Also, please install and run the Showkase Server Compatibility Test to check that your web server has all the features that Showkase needs.
The Showkase Server Compatibility Test can be downloaded from here.
Instructions for 'Installing the Server Compatibility Test' and 'Troubleshooting Error Messages' can be found on the same page.
Showkase was designed to be installed and run on a web server through a browser interface.
It is not a desktop application and cannot be used as such.
Even though Showkase creates static pages, it would not be possible to copy a Showkase site from a web server onto a CD or DVD due to the paths that Showkase uses to refer to resource files.
I'm glad that you've been able to resolve your problem.
Thank you for editing your post to let me know.
@cvleest
Thank you for the suggestions!
The ability to upload custom thumbnails.
I understand your request to be able to do this within the Showkase interface but, currently, you might be able to do this as follows:
(1) Upload the image you want to use as your gallery thumbnail along with all the other images in the gallery.
(2) Go to the 'Images' tab and select the image as the 'Index' image for the gallery.
(3) Edit the gallery's XML file in a plain text editor to remove this image from the gallery itself by deleting the corresponding <image> entry.
(The gallery's XML file can be found inside the gallery page's folder in the root Showkase directory.)
This should work OK but please bear in mind that if the gallery is edited/updated within Showkase, the XML file will be rebuilt and you will need to do Step #3 above again.
I see no reason why the import should not work. (You are using the current version of Showkase, your Juicebox folder is of a standard structure and complete and both your Showkase installation and Juicebox gallery folder are on the same domain).
Make sure that you are entering the correct path in the 'Import path' input field.
If your Showkase installation is in its own folder in your root directory and the gallery you are trying to import is in a folder located alongside your Showkase installation, then the 'Import path' you should enter is simply '/'.
Showkase will look for gallery folders in the import path you specify.
You should specify the path of the directory containing the gallery folder, not the path of the gallery folder itself. In doing so, Showkase is able to import multiple galleries at once (if many gallery folders are in a single directory).
For each and every page in a site, Showkase creates a folder in the root Showkase directory (with the same name as the page itself) and inside each page's folder is a file named 'index.html'.
If you wanted to change the on-screen text in the menu for a certain page name, then you would need to edit all the 'index.html' pages in all the page folders (as the menu is included in every page).
Again, please note that as soon as you update a page within the Showkase interface, the edit will be lost.
It might be easier just to try to give each Showkase page a unique name.
As I noted earlier, I would not recommend trying to import any galleries located within your Showkase directory (though it should still work). If you are trying to import a gallery whose folder is named '2014001' and is located in the root Showkase directory, then Showkase will not be able to create a Showkase page/folder for the gallery in the root Showkase directory using the same name as it will already exist. Showkase will have to name the folder '2014001-2'.
With regard to your problem of not having your Juicebox gallery recognised by Showkase, make sure that your gallery's 'jbcore' folder is located in the root of the gallery folder (just like a gallery created by JuiceboxBuilder). If you have changed the structure of your gallery (using a baseUrl), then Showkase will not recognise the folder as a Juicebox gallery.
If you continue to experience difficulties, please post the URL to Juicebox gallery folder you are trying to import so that I can take a look and help further.
I was composing my response to your first post as you posted your second one (hence no reference to your &nbps; suggestion).
This will not work.
on my FTP I see a folder like 'nbspportraits'
As you have discovered, Showkase strips out non-alpha-numerical characters when using the name for the folder on your web server but escapes XML entites in the name so that it is displayed exactly as you see it in the input text field.
What you were seeing when you thought it was working was likely to be either a page which had not yet been updated and published or a older version of your page cached by your browser.
My suggestion to manually edit the HTML page created by Showkase after it has been published still stands as a possible workaround.
Each page created within Showkase has its own folder (with the same name as the page) in the root Showkase directory (whether it is a top level page or a sub-page). Therefore, it is not possible to have two pages with exactly the same name.
You could choose a different name for one of your pages and then manually edit the Showkase page which displays the text but the edit would be lost (and you would need to correct it) each time you modify the page within Showkase.
If you do not plan to modify your pages very often, this might be a suitable workaround.
Please see 'Editing Individual Captions' in the Pages section of the Showkase User Guide for details on how to extract the image's IPTC title and description.
There are some special codes that can be entered into titles, captions and descriptions:
{iptctitle} causes Showkase to look for embedded iptc metadata in the image and insert the contents of the title field if present.
{iptcdescription} is translated into the iptc description field if present.
If entering IPTC data via Adobe Photoshop, {iptctitle} corresponds to the IPTC 'Document Title' field and {iptcdescription} corresponds to the IPTC 'Description' field.
You can import Juicebox (and SimpleViewer) galleries into a Showkase installation and once they have been imported, each gallery will be given its own genuine Showkase page (just like if the gallery had been created by Showkase itself) which can subsequently be edited within the Showkase interface.
Just upload your complete gallery folders to your web server (I would recommend uploading the gallery folders to somewhere outside your Showkase directory) and go to the 'Site -> Import' section. Further instructions can be found on the 'Import' page itself.
Please note that this functionality was introduced in Showkase v1.1.0.
For a full list of changes, please see the Version History.
Instructions for upgrading Showkase can be found here.
You can add a custom favicon by opening your Showkase theme's 'layout.tpl' file (e.g. 'showkase/_themes/kosel/pagetypes/layout.tpl') in a plain text editor and adding the following code immediately before the closing </head> tag.
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
Make sure that your chosen 'favicon.ico' file is in the correct location on your web server and that the path to it is correct in the code above. (The code above will work for a 'favicon.ico' file in your web space's root directory.)
Just enter the code above into the Gallery Title text field.
The target attribute goes inside the <a> tag. Please see here for details.
(Technically, the default value for the target attribute is '_self' so you do not actually need to include target="_self" to have the link opened in the same web page.)
Unfortunately, there is a bug in the current version of Juicebox (v1.3.3) whereby a link in a Gallery Title will not be active if the Gallery Title is positioned on the image overlay.
We have already addressed this issue and it will be fixed in the next version of Juicebox.
In the meantime, the workaround would be to set galleryPosition="TOP" (in the 'General' section).
In order for the link in the Gallery Title to open in the same tab/window (rather than a new tab/window) use the target="_self" attribute in the <a> tag. For example:
<a href="http://www.example.com/" target="_self">Click here</a>
When uploading images within the Showkase interface, Showkase uses the maximum quality value of 100% by default when resizing the images.
If you deselect the 'Resize images' checkbox in the upload module, the images will not be processed at all and will remain at their original file sizes (and resolutions).
Alternatively, you could change the quality setting by opening the showkase\admin\settings\constants.php file in a plain text editor and editing the 'IMAGE_QUALITY' value on line 52.
Please note that the line number above refers to the current version of Showkase (v1.2.0).
Incidentally, changing the name of a file will not alter its file size at all.
It is not possible to rename image files within the Showkase interface for a gallery which has already been created.
Perhaps the best course of action would be to use the SEO functionality available in Juicebox-Pro galleries.
You can assign image titles and/or captions to individual images and then:
(1) Set captionPosition="NONE" (in the 'Pro -> Caption' section of the Juicebox gallery page) so that the titles and captions are not visible in the gallery.
(2) Select the Add SEO Content checkbox (in the 'Gallery Lite Options' section of the Juicebox gallery page).
The image titles and captions will not be visible in the gallery but they will be used in the SEO code on the gallery's HTML page in the following form.
<img title="image_title" alt="image_caption" src="/showkase/gallery/images/image.jpg">
It is not possible to set exact sizes for images in a Juicebox-Pro gallery. The size of the image area within a gallery will depend on a number of factors:
(1) The size of the user's browser window.
(2) Whether or not space is reserved in the gallery for other elements (such as thumbnails, captions, gallery title).
If you use SimpleViewer-Pro and use a Fixed Layout, you can specify exact dimensions for the gallery's image area via the imageAreaWidth and imageAreaHeight configuration options.
You can hide thumbnails in a Juicebox-Pro gallery by setting showThumbsOnLoad="FALSE" and showSmallThumbsOnLoad="FALSE". (You can also hide the Thumbnail Button (to prevent users from displaying thumbnails) by setting showThumbsButton="FALSE" and showSmallThumbsButton="FALSE".)
For a SimpleViewer-Pro gallery, set thumbPosition="NONE".
You can hide captions in a Juicebox-Pro gallery by setting captionPosition="NONE".
For a SimpleViewer-Pro gallery, set captionPosition="NONE".
Please feel free to post suggestions for future versions of Showkase in the Feature Requests forum thread.
It keeps them all together and ensures that they are not overlooked.
By default, the Showkase menu changes when the user's browser window becomes narrow (or on a mobile device where the screen width is already limited).
In Boma, the menu moves from side to top and in Kosel, it auto-hides under a menu icon. (This is designed to use the limited available space on small screens as best as possible.)
This behavior cannot be changed in the Showkase interface and may be difficult to change in the source code (with each theme and page-type needing to be considered).
If you want your Juicebox-Pro galleries to look the same in desktop browsers and on mobile devices, you can force the galleries to be displayed in Large Screen Mode by setting Screen Mode to LARGE in the 'General' section of the gallery settings page.
For more information about how Juicebox adapts to different devices and screen sizes, please see here.
It certainly sounds like it was your web hosting account which was hacked rather than your Showkase site specifically.
Use strong passwords and change all the passwords which were associated with your web hosting account (web page login, FTP, databases, etc.).
