All Juicebox galleries share the same configuration options ('Site -> Customize Viewers -> Edit Juicebox').

If you have changed any of these configuration options after creating a gallery, you may need to rebuild the gallery (so that it uses the new configuration options) by going to 'Pages -> Edit Gallery Page -> Rebuild this Juicebox gallery'.

If you want an individual gallery to have different configuration options from other galleries, then please see the support section entitled Customize Individual Viewers.

Your home page is an 'About' page and the image uploaded on an 'About' page is also dynamically resized depending on the size of the user's browser window.

If you want to display an image on an 'About' page with fixed dimensions, then rather than point to an image using the built-in 'Image Url' functionality, use code such as the following in the page's text editor (in 'Source' mode):

<script type="text/javascript">
var elements = document.getElementsByClassName('profile-image');
var element = elements[0];
element.innerHTML = '<img alt="image" height="150" src="/showkase/_library/files/image.jpg" width="200" />';
</script>

i couldn't figure out how to adjust the image size on the home image, pls help.

The size of the site logo changes dynamically with the size of the user's browser window but you can set the maximum width for the image in the 'Site -> Customize Theme -> Site Header' section.

and another thing, my menus have gone lower after the update of 1.0.4. how can i fix that?

If you referring to the navigation menu ("Home Gallery Info."), then it appears very close to the top of the page when I view your site in my own browsers.
If you have made any changes recently, try clearing your browser's cache before reloading your site to ensure that your browser is not using older versions of your pages.

It looks like you are using a version of Showkase prior to the text shadow color and opacity configuration options being introduced into the interface.
Please upgrade your Showkase installation to the current version (v1.0.4) by following the instructions here and you should then see the text shadow color and opacity controls.

It looks like your 'Site header link' is empty.
Go to 'Site -> Site Settings', scroll down to the 'Site Header' section, enter /home/ in the 'Site header link' text field and then click 'Update' and 'Publish'.

The slideshow I have on the front page of my website is a SimpleViewer show - that's the one that I can't make AutoPlay work for in iPad and iPhone... Is it only possible for Juicebox - that's how I interpret your answer?

Yes. The Mobile Player in SimpleViewer-Pro (which is used to display the gallery on mobile devices and in browsers which do not have Adobe Flash Player installed and enabled) does not support AutoPlay functionality.
(The Mobile Player in SimpleViewer-Pro supports fewer configuration options than the Flash Player. Please see here for a list of configurations supported by the Mobile Player.)

To remove the shadow from the text within a Juicebox-Pro gallery, go to 'Site -> Customize Viewers -> Edit Juicebox-Pro -> Color (Pro Viewers Only)' and set the Text Shadow Color Opacity to 0 (and then click 'Update' and 'Publish').

Thank you for your remarks and suggestions which we will take on board.
With regard to issues that I might be able to help you with...

I am having issues with the Lucida Console font (built in to Showkase), though, not showing up on other computers than the iMac where I created the web site. It works fine on my iPad and iPhone… Do I need to force download of that font from the site and how do I do it?

Other than Bebas Neue (which is an @font-face font which is loaded by Showkase if required), all other fonts are required to exist on the user's computer. Showkase offers a choice of 'websafe' fonts that are present on most Windows and Macintosh computers. If you want to be 100% certain that your text is displayed in the font you select on every computer display, then you would need to include the font in your Showkase installation as a web font. Please see here for details.

Password protected pages: Any good ideas for how to protect various bits of your site without ruining the ease with which Showkase works? I've tried a few simple methods from Dynamic Drive, which sort of work, but it's not ideal.

Each page you create in Showkase is given its own subdirectory. For example, if you create a page named 'Test Page', then a subdirectory named 'test-page' is created in your root Showkase directory. You could password-protect specific directories on your web server using .htaccess and .htpasswd files. Instructions can be found here.

Slideshows: Don't/can't autostart on iPhone/iPad? At least I haven't been able to make it work...

You should be able to create AutoPlay Juicebox-Pro galleries (in desktop browsers and mobile devices) by setting enableAutoPlay="TRUE" and autoPlayOnLoad="TRUE" in the 'Site -> Customize Viewers -> Edit Juicebox-Pro -> Autoplay (Pro Viewers Only)' section. However, as the Splash Page is displayed by default in mobile devices, you would need to either set showSplashPage="NEVER" or screenMode="LARGE" for galleries to initially AutoPlay in mobile devices.

Juicebox gallery: When I add a text description to a gallery, the text is always broken into two columns. Even if it is one sentence. On top of that, the right-most column is always placed so it starts above the left-most one.
Example: sorenstoy.dk/pubgal/souq-waqif-with-the-rx1/

Please see this forum thread for a possible solution.

Viewers: Increased control/customisation of individual viewer on a site would be great.

Please see the support section entitled Customize Individual Viewers for further information.

Thumbnails: How can I control how thumbnails are generated from the original image so that they always reflect an interesting part of that image?

This is not possible within Showkase. One possible workaround would be to create custom thumbnails in an image manipulation program such as Adobe Photoshop and swap them for the thumbnails created by Showkase.

As the page into which you are embedding your gallery is likely to be inside a subfolder (rather than the root Showkase directory where your 'fotos' folder is located), try using the following:

<!--START JUICEBOX EMBED--><script src="../fotos/scotland_2010_08_best_of/jbcore/juicebox.js"></script><script>
  new juicebox({
    baseUrl : '../fotos/scotland_2010_08_best_of/',
    containerId : 'juicebox-container',
    galleryWidth : '800',
    galleryHeight : '600',
    backgroundColor: '#222222'
  });
  </script>
<div id="juicebox-container">
    &nbsp;</div>
<!--END JUICEBOX EMBED-->

Otherwise, you could use absolute URLs such as:

<!--START JUICEBOX EMBED--><script src="http://www.example.com/showkase/fotos/scotland_2010_08_best_of/jbcore/juicebox.js"></script><script>
  new juicebox({
    baseUrl : 'http://www.example.com/showkase/fotos/scotland_2010_08_best_of/',
    containerId : 'juicebox-container',
    galleryWidth : '800',
    galleryHeight : '600',
    backgroundColor: '#222222'
  });
  </script>
<div id="juicebox-container">
    &nbsp;</div>
<!--END JUICEBOX EMBED-->

You can horizontally align text in a 'Basic' page by using the 'text-align' CSS property.
On your 'Basic' page, click the 'Source' button in the toolbar of the text editor and enter code such as:

<p style="text-align: left;">Text aligned left.</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">Text aligned right.</p>

This will justify the text to the margins of your page's content section.

If I uncheck the resize option when uploading, the photo is only partly to be seen.

It sounds like you might have set imageScaleMode to 'FILL' (in your 'Site -> Customize Viewers -> Juicebox-Pro' settings) which will crop the main images to fit the gallery's image area if necessary. Try setting this configuration option to 'SCALE' or 'SCALE_DOWN' instead.
You can check out the configuration options used in an Acqua Photo demo gallery by viewing the gallery's XML file in your browser, e.g.: http://www.showkase.net/demos/acquaphot … config.xml

I am still unsure as to what the cause of the problem is but perhaps the following links will allow you to find a suitable workaround.

It also will work if I move everything to a subfolder but then my home page url would have to change.

Please see the Showkase Home Page section in the User Guide which deals with this scenario.

If I were to try removing the site and starting from scratch, would i be able to re-upoad my site without having to rebuild it?

Please see the Site Backup and Restore section in the User Guide which should hopefully help.

Try installing and running the Showkase Server Compatibility Test just to make sure that your server has all the features Showkase needs.
If it passes all the tests, then at least we can rule these factors out.

My suggestion was not to change the name of the folder on the server.

  • Enter a 'Nav Name' within Showkase using non-cyrillic alpha-numeric characters such as 'Gallery'.

  • Allow Showkase to create a corresponding folder on your web server using this 'Nav Name'.

  • Edit the 'index.html' files for each Showkase page and change the link text (not the link 'href' attribute) to Галерея.

For example, in each page's 'index.html' file, change:

<a href="/showkase/gallery/">My Gallery</a>

... to:

<a href="/showkase/gallery/">Галерея</a>

This error message is likely to be displayed as, not only is the 'Nav Name' displayed in the navigation area of your site but it is also used as the name of the folder on your web server to store the page's files in.
The only workaround I can think of would be to use non-cyrillic alpha-numeric characters for the 'Nav Name' and then edit the generated pages manually afterwards to change the link text to whatever you like.

It sounds like there may be a problem with the 'index.php' file in the root of your Showkase installation (in your case, your web site's root directory).
Try re-uploading a fresh copy of the file from the extracted Showkase zip file (in the root directory alongside the '_themes' and 'admin' folder) to see if this helps.

A fix will be included in the next version of Showkase but, until then, you can make the change manually by editing the '_themes/kosel/css/styles.css' file in a plain text editor and changing line 31 from:

[data-icon]:before {

... to:

#menu-anchor [data-icon]:before {

(The line number above refers to Showkase v1.0.3.)

Thank you very much for the additional information.
I have now been able to reproduce the issue myself and have logged a bug report with the developers.
It does, indeed, seem to be a conflict between Showkase v1.0.3 and Juicebox-Pro v1.3.0/Juicebox-Pro v1.3.1 though I do not know the exact cause of the problem, and unfortunately do not have a solution at the moment.
However, having notified the developers, this bug should hopefully be fixed in the next version.
Thank you for reporting the bug.

Do you use Juicebox 1.3.1 in your Showkase test installation, too?

Yes. I used Showkase-Pro v1.0.3 with both Juicebox-Pro v1.3.0 and Juicebox-Pro v1.3.1.

The problem occurs only on your pages which have Juicebox galleries so it does look like a Juicebox-related problem but I still cannot replicate the problem myself.

Try installing a fresh installation of Showkase (into a completely different folder to your existing Showkase installation so as not to interfere with it) and create a Juicebox gallery page with the new installation to see if the problem still occurs.
If you upload the Showkase zip file to your web server and unzip the file on the server (from within your web account's CPanel), the whole process should take only a few minutes and might give us some useful information.

Also, please try installing and running the Showkase Server Compatibility Test.
It sounds unlikely that any problems will be highlighted but if you run the test then we can rule this out.

I see the problem on your web site but have been unable to replicate it in a test Showkase-Pro v1.0.3 installation.
It looks like a missing font from certain pages (your home page and gallery pages).
I would first try re-uploading the '_themes/kosel/' folder to your web server to ensure that all files are present and correct. Be sure to make a backup of the existing '_themes/kosel/' folder first, just in case anything goes wrong or if you have modified any files (such as 'css/custom.css') that you might want to reinstate at a later date.
Then rebuild your home and gallery pages (there should be no need to rebuild the galleries themselves, just the pages they are in) and finally clear your browser's cache before reloading your site to see if this has helped.

The current version of Showkase-Pro (v1.0.3) has not yet been updated to include the latest version of Juicebox-Pro (v1.3.0).
You can manually upgrade your Showkase installation to use the Juicebox-Pro v1.3.0 files by replacing the 'jbcore' folder in the 'showkase/admin/plugins/juicebox/master/' folder with the 'jbcore' folder from your Juicebox-Pro v1.3.0 download package.
However, the new Juicebox-Pro options will not yet be available in the Showkase interface and if you wish to use any of them, you will need to manually enter them into your gallery's XML file.
Showkase-Pro should hopefully be updated soon (although I do not know exactly when this will be).

You could perhaps use a blogging tool which features an RSS feed, create a custom web page to display the blog's content using a utility such as RSS2HTML (modifying the template that comes with RSS2HTML to match your Showkase pages, e.g. same background color, etc.) and include the custom web page in a Showkase page using an iframe. You would not be able to include RSS2HTML directly into a Showkase page as RSS2HTML requires PHP and Showkase generates HTML pages. (You could change the file extension of your Showkase page from .html to .php but the next time you update the page in Showkase, the .php page would not be updated and a new .html page would be generated instead.)

Yes. Both SimpleViewer-Pro and Juicebox-Pro support the flickrSetId configuration option to display all images in a specified Flickr Set.
SimpleViewer-Pro - http://simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/pr … tml#flickr
Juicebox-Pro - http://www.juicebox.net/support/config_ … kr-options

When creating a SimpleViewer or Juicebox gallery page in Showkase, select Flickr as the source of images and enter the Flick Set Id into the 'Flickr set id' text field.

The current version of Showkase (v1.0.3) has not yet been updated with the new features available in Juicebox v1.3.0.
Until is it updated, if you would like to incorporate the new features in your Juicebox galleries, you could create a gallery preset file (using JuiceboxBuilder-Pro v1.3.0) and follow the 'Customize Individual Viewers' instructions here.
