1. My site looks ok in vertical mode on an iPhone 5, but it doesn't fit the screen in landscape.
Does this happen only when rotating the device? Does it fit the screen when reloading the page?
Could you perhaps upload a screenshot somewhere so that I can see what you are seeing? Thank you.
2. Is there a way to enable keyboard navigation immediately on page load? As it is now, the visitor must click a thumbnail or arrow button to go to the next image, and then they use the keyboard. It would be nice if they could just use the arrow key immediately instead of having to click something.
It is necessary to click somewhere within the gallery itself to give the gallery focus (and to enable the keyboard controls within the gallery).
3. I have the nav buttons set to "stage" in the theme settings, but they still land on the main image, as does the screen mode button. I prefer no buttons of any kind touching the photos. What can I do?
When setting imageNavPosition="STAGE", the image nav buttons are relative to the stage area rather than the image and on a small screen device where the image is displayed close to the stage borders, the image nav buttons may overlap the image. It is not possible to ensure that the image nav buttons never overlap the image. You could, however, disable the main image nav buttons by setting showImageNav="FALSE" (in the Main Image Options section) and, instead, set showNavButtons="TRUE" (in the Button Bar Options section) to display image navigation buttons in the gallery's Button Bar.
4. One thing that's not clear is whether I can upload images directly via FTP and have the site update automatically...if so, what directory do the images go in?
This is not possible. New images for a gallery should be uploaded within the Showkase interface.
However, it is possible to upload a complete Juicebox gallery folder to your web server via FTP and then import it into your Showkase installation via the 'Site -> Import' functionality.
5. When editing the order of thumbnails for a page, it would be nice if the thumbnails appeared in the editor as they do in the actual page. Arranging a long vertical list of thumbnails that live together on a page horizontally doesn't make much sense. A grid editor would be much easier to work with.
Please post feature requests in this forum thread. It keeps them all together and ensures that they are not overlooked.
Otherwise, Showkase is fantastic.
Glad you like it!
