It sounds like your web host may not allow you to upload files and folders which begin with characters such as . (such as the .htaccess file) and _ (such as the _themes folder).
Please check with your web host to determine what files you can and cannot upload to your web space.
Also, check the permissions on your 'photographies' folder and try running the Showkase Server Compatibility Test on your server to check that it has all the features Showkase needs.

Re: PHP 5.2 vs PHP 5.4 (1 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Showkase requires PHP v5.2.0 or later. There are no features of Showkase that are available to PHP v5.4.0 users which are not available to PHP v5.2.0 users so you should see no difference at all (either in the admin back-end or in your published site).
As with all software upgrades, PHP v5.4.0 should fix bugs which are present in previous versions so there is usually a strong case to upgrade.
However, if things are running stable on your web server at the moment and you have no PHP-related problems, you may like to stick with PHP v5.2.0.

Re: Resize images after upload (1 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
No. Showkase does not feature the ability to resize images which have already been uploaded.
A possible solution might be to delete the existing images and re-upload your original images with new resize dimensions.

Re: Lightbox instead of open in new window (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
You could hardcode the required linkURL and linkTarget values into the 'showkase\admin\plugins\juicebox\juiceboximage.inc.php' file by changing lines 55 and 56 to something like the following (depending on the name of your JavaScript function):
$rootElement->setAttribute('linkURL', 'javascript: func();');
$rootElement->setAttribute('linkTarget', '_self');931 2013-02-17 22:13:50
Re: Google Analytics? (9 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Unfortunately, there is no set date for the release of the next version.
Any estimate I give you could turn out to be wholly inaccurate and give you false expectations. All I can say is that it will be released when it is ready and that should hopefully be sooner rather than later. I hope you understand.

If none of your custom CSS seems to be taking effect in Firefox, try clearing your browser's cache before reloading your web page to ensure that Firefox is using the most recent versions of all your files.

Re: Add separator between menu items? (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
You could edit the generated HTML pages themselves to include a separator between the links. Such modifications would be lost if updating the pages via Showkase but if you do not have too many pages and do not plan to update existing pages too often, this may be a suitable workaround.

Re: New fonts (11 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
The font appears to render correctly in the body of the page (http://174.122.127.226/~petraluz/DE/uuraaleet//) but not in the nav area. See the last button on the nav.
In the UÜRÄALEËT link, the Ü and Ä characters seem to be rendered correctly but the Ë is not.
This looks like all your own code is correct (otherwise the Ü and Ä characters would be rendered incorrectly also) but there may be a deficiency in the font itself. (This is just an observation. I am not laying blame with the font itself as I do not know the reason for the problem.) Does the Ë character render correctly if used in the body of the page?
Also, on Windows machines in IE 7 and 9, even after installing the Intnl French version of the font, the French accents are not rendering properly: http://174.122.127.226/~petraluz/FR/
I have viewed your web page in IE9 on my Windows PC and the French accents are rendered correctly in IE9 (but not in IE7 or IE8 Browser Mode).
This forum thread seems to describe your scenario but it looks like you already implement the solution that is offered.
Unfortunately, I do not have a suitable workaround just now but I will ensure that the developers are aware of your post above.

Re: Lightbox instead of open in new window (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Showkase does not feature Lightbox-style functionality (and neither does Juicebox or SimpleViewer).
It is possible to open an image within a Juicebox gallery in a Lightbox-style pop-up window (please see this forum post for details) but you would need to create and upload this gallery manually (outside Showkase) and then embed it in a Showkase page.

Re: Juicybox : Randomize and direct link (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Ok, so randomizeImages makes obsolete the direct link function.
If a visitor want to share with a friend a picture and i have configure the juicybox to randomize mode it will never be the pictures the visitor wants to share in the link ...
That is correct. If you want to be able to link directly to a specific image in your gallery, please do not set randomizeImages="TRUE".
Maybe you will implement in a future version adding tags to the url instead of having mywebsite.com/#1 you will have mywebsite.com/#1-my-best-picture where "my best picture" is words of the picture title. Interesting for link sharing and search engines.
An option i would also like to have is to put my last upload pics at the top of my gallery, i know i can change order but when i upload multipe files it's boring to order them all :)
Thank you for posting these suggestions in the Feature Requests thread where they will not be overlooked.

Re: screensize of an album (1 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Can i change the theme or album or whatever so that they will fit automatically to the size of the browser?
So that it's not possible to scroll up / down when viewing the album?
No. Showkase was not designed to fit a browser window and resize dynamically like an individual Juicebox or SimpleViewer gallery does.
Your scrolling problem may be because your heading is taking up two lines and pushing the gallery down.
A gallery height adjustment is planned for the next Showkase release.

Re: Problem with password change (5 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Is it possible that Showkase doesn't like any special charakters in the password? Or is it with 50 charakters too long?
Showkase should be able to handle non-alphanumeric characters (but perhaps not control characters or extended characters such as accented letters).
I do not know what the maximum number of characters that Showkase can handle in a password but try a password with fewer than 50 characters to see if this helps.

Re: Juicybox : Randomize and direct link (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
i've just buy the pro version of juicybox and i saw that when i activate the randomize option, url link doesnt refer to the good picture. May i do something wrong ?
When setting randomizeImages="TRUE", the images are ordered randomly when the gallery is initially displayed and the direct linking image numbers refer to the new order of the images reflecting the order of the thumbnails displayed in the gallery.
Is it possible to add tags in the url ? I only have #<number>.
Juicebox-Pro supports only the #<number> format for linking directly to individual images within a gallery when setting enableDirectLinks="TRUE".
Another question when i upload picture they always go to the bottom. But i would like to know if is it possible that the picture i upload go to the top of the library picture. To be seen first.
You can change the order of images in a gallery by dragging and dropping the thumbnails on the 'Images' tab.

Re: Question before buying Showkase Pro Bundle (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
But there is no integrated security feature?
That is correct.
Is there something planed?
Not as far as I am aware.
It's also not possible to hide a album or? It should not be visible but accessable.
You could create a page (whether a basic page or a gallery) and then remove the link to that page from all other pages.
You would still be able to access the page itself directly via its own URL.

Re: Question before buying Showkase Pro Bundle (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
* Can i make an Album like "2012" and below some other albums? So that the user can choose if they want to view the Photos of 2012 or 2013 and then they can choose an specific album? Because i have a lot of albums currently. And each year there will be like 30 or 40 new albums.
You could, for example, choose to have a Gallery Index page named '2012' and another Gallery Index page named '2013', with each index page containing as many galleries as you wish.
*Are there some restrictions about the amount of Albums?
No. You can include as many galleries as you like within a Showkase installation. The only limitation is that it is possible to have only one gallery per page.
*Can i make an album with password protection?
This can be achieved using .htaccess and .htpasswd files on your web server to protect individual pages (each of which is given a separate directory on your web server).
*What type of statistics are possible?
Google Analytics support will be included in the next version of Showkase.
*Are there Logfiles available?
Your server log files should hopefully provide you with any information you may require.
* Can i link to a specific album? I mean, currently i create an album in my CMS and then i post the link directly to the album on Facebook. So everybody can directly view the Photos and it's not necessary to browse through the different albums?
Yes. You can link directly to a gallery's web page within Showkase.
*Can i check or try some of these features on the demo sites?
Yes. Showkase Site Demos and a Live Demo Admin section (where you can try the Showkase admin interface) can be found here.

Re: Images not showing after upload (29 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Could be switching browsers when I log in cause this issue - I'm using Safari and Chrome.
There should be no problem with either browser but I would recommend using only one browser per session.
Try using only a single browser to see this helps.
Also, have you tried all 3 possible modes for the upload module: HTML5, Flash and Basic?
Try changing the upload mode (using the links at the bottom-right of the upload module) to see if this makes a difference.

Re: Multiple-language versions of the same site (4 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
That would be wise. Otherwise, subsequent Showkase installations would exist within your first one and that would cause problems.
Whatever you do, please be sure to make a complete backup of your existing site first, just in case things go wrong at some stage in the process and you need to revert back to the way things currently are.

Re: Google Analytics? (9 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Is there somewhere in the Showkase admin to do this? If not, do I add it via ftp somehow? _themes > kosel > js ?
No. The <head> section of the Kosel theme can be found in the '_themes\kosel\pagetypes\layout.tpl' file.
Insert your Google Analytics code immediately before the closing </head> tag in this file.
