These solutions worked great! I was worried that each time I re-published I would have to go back and redo these changes, but fortunately they all stay in place. Thanks!

Topic: configuration question [SOLVED] (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
I have "page title" showing on the bottom of my gallery pages (ie. http://djphoto-video.com/architecture/), however on my "basic" pages http://djphoto-video.com/video/ it is showing at the top of the page. Is there a way to get the "basic" pages to keep the placement at the bottom?
Since I am using the "page" title for a slightly different purpose at the bottom of the page (as mentioned above), is there a way that I can still have the actual NAV name show at the top of the gallery image for the gallery category it is in (ie. Architecture, Product, People)?
Is there a way to get the "caption" to be bolder and/or not dim when the cursor is not hovering over it as in this example at the bottom of the main image http://djphoto-video.com/corporate-events/?
Thanks,

I know that Showkase has an option for robots.txt on the "contact" page to minimize spam, but is there also any way to turn on an email verification step?

Ultimately, updating the PHP at the host to 5.5 from 5.4 resolved this odd issue that was occurring.
For those that read these support topics to either fix problems they are encountering or just for general future knowledge, I want to say that the level of support and dedication that Steven put into finding out where the problem stemmed from was outstanding!
Thanks for your time and help!

Re: multi size image support [SOLVED] (16 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
I reinstalled Showkase but still no change. I see what you are referring to as far as web safe names and you are correct, it was my oversight, but I see that Showkase automatically renamed them appropriately. Just in case though I went back and re-uploaded some correctly from the start- still no change.
I have tried using a different browser- same results. Also, all of the images in other galleries on the same website work fine. These problem images when uploaded to the other galleries though, still don't work. Not sure if I mentioned that the other day.
The images do not appear on the 'Images' tab within Showkase or on the "Sort" tab or anywhere. The only place they can be seen is if I go through FTP to the directory. I can see they are there in the images folder, thumbs folder, but not the "large" or "small" folders. The other photos that show on the site are in all of the folders- including the "large" and "small" folders.
Is there anything with Juicebox that can or should be re-uploaded to the directory? The URL to the problem directory is: www.djphoto-video.com/people.

Re: multi size image support [SOLVED] (16 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
All EXIF data is removed and I did get it to display the gallery after running the script, but still no luck within Showkase. What's really strange is once again it is in the folders within the directory, but Showkase just doesn't recognize it being there... and always the same exact images. If I re-upload them again it just puts another set there (with "_1" added to the name). I have renamed the images and uploaded, tried creating a different gallery name but nothing seems to work. To say this is driving me crazy is an understatement.
What else can I try? I need these pictures to be visible.

Steven, please let me know when you have grabbed the files so I can remove their access from directory- thx.

Re: multi size image support [SOLVED] (16 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
The other thing that is strange is when I access the the gallery directory via ftp, I can see the files are there and in fact now there are many copies since I have tried many times to upload them. So they are uploading successfully, but refuse to show either on the web or even in the sort folder within Showkase.
I placed them at: djphoto-video.com/show_jb_test.zip
Please let me know what you find- thanks!

Re: multi size image support [SOLVED] (16 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Thanks for the reply. I actually am using Showkase 1.3.6, but in a subfolder where I am working on a site redesign.
Okay, I have discovered something that may somehow be the cause. I am using the Juicebox Photoshop plug-in to initially prepare the galleries. Some of the galleries output fine and as soon as it's done with the script it opens and shows the gallery in a browser. However, some open the browser but nothing shows- it's just blank. The whole gallery is small, only around 25-images... and the image folder is being populated with all of the files. Clicking on the index file will launch the gallery, but still no pictures show. Manually dragging the files into the Showkase upload box shows them all be uploaded successfully, but when going to the sort window they do not appear. It is always the same 5 out of 25-images that will not upload. I have gone into Photoshop and manually resized and saved these five as jpegs and tried uploading... same problem. Any idea what can possibly be preventing Showkase/Juicebox from accepting these pictures? If I double click on them they open in a browser just fine, but for some reason the gallery doesn't seem to like them.

Topic: multi size image support [SOLVED] (16 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
I'm using Juicebox Pro within Showkase. Everything was working fine until... in order to take advantage of multi-size image support I went into the customize viewer tab and ticked the boxes large, medium and small. Now whenever I update and publish, rather than Showkase opening a browser page with the published site it instead opens a window with the correct address followed by "publish&token followed by a very long number. If I uncheck those selections it once again will bring me to the published site.
So the first question is what am I doing incorrectly with this?
Second question is why is it not placing any images within the large or small folders within the directory?

Re: Embedding YouTube video in Showkase (5 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
The only glitch I am encountering is regarding the size. You are correct in that YouTube does automatically list the size in the code to be pasted... or you can specify the size preferred. On my videos YouTube has it listed as 560x315 which would be fine, but on my page they are appearing 1024px wide. http://djphoto.com/video/
Is this because in Showkase under "customize theme" it calls for my gallery pages to be 1024px? I did put the videos on a "basic" page... not a gallery one. How can I get Showkase to honor the dimensions for the video on this page?
Thanks for your help!

Topic: Embedding YouTube video in Showkase (5 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Looking to place (embed) a couple YouTube videos on a page in my Showkase website. I am currently using Showkase Pro with Juicebox galleries and believe the YouTube videos need to be put into iFrames. Can this be done with Showkase? Please provide some steps to get me started. For example, what type of page can this be put on? Is there anyway to show the starting video frame within a gallery page?
Thank you!

Topic: Slow page loading after latest update (1 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Since updating to newest version of Showkase, my website djphoto.com is loading in browsers very slowly. I have not made any changes to picture sizes, turned on any new features or anything else. I just uploaded new version and republished. I don't think this is a server issue because this has been going on for days and other sites I visit load fine.
Any idea what is going on or what I can do to correct?

Re: multi size image support (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Thanks for the reply. Just a couple more questions...
The large, medium and small image size boxes call for maximum dimensions. Providing I can supply large enough pictures, are the default settings I am seeing of 2048x1536, 1024x768, 800x600 ones that should be used? I guess what I am asking is whether there is a basis for why these pixel dimensions were chosen as the default or are they simply just a starting guideline?
Also, the quality settings are showing as 80, 85 and 80 respectively? Any specific reason why these vary?
One last question. By design, I have all galleries currently showing as one size throughout my website, except for the Home Page. You can see for example on www.djphoto.com versus http://djphoto.com/architecture/. Is there a way to set this up while utilizing the multi-size image support and still be able to keep the home page gallery's maximum size different than the remaining galleries?

Topic: multi size image support (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Just downloaded Showkase update (going from 1.3.0 to 1.3.2) to take advantage of multi size image support. I am using Kosel and Juicebox as my gallery viewer. To use the multi size image support do I just go to customize viewers, customize juicebox, multi size images and make a tick in the boxes for large, medium and small images? Are any other steps required?

Topic: activate url in gallery page (3 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
I am using a Juicebox Pro gallery and have a title over-layed on the large gallery image. I want to be able to click on the title and have the page re-directed to another page on the Showkase site. I would like it to open within the same window (not another tab or additional window). I had this working previously on my site, but now after replacing the gallery images and several other changes... it no longer works and I cannot figure out how I did it before.
I do have the url to the other page I want to direct to listed on the images page. How can I get that url to take effect when the title is clicked on?

Re: rename files (5 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Just to clarify, the file sizes on my desktop are exactly the same as what the files were in the Image folder. It's only after uploading through Showkase that they are so much larger in comparison to what they are on my desktop.

Re: rename files (5 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
Overall it worked well, but I do have a a follow-up question. There was some portfolio pages where I chose to download the files from the Image folder via FTP, rename then and then through Showkase I selected the same exact pictures that were renamed and uploaded them again. When renaming then on my desktop I had right clicked the name and entered the new name. Now when I look at the file size I notice that the files sizes have grown (nearly doubled) for each picture. Why would this upload process cause the files to increase so large? I understand the name may have a small insignificant affect on file size, but each one almost doubling seems odd.

Topic: rename files (5 replies, posted in Showkase Support)
I am using Showkase 1.2.0 with Juicebox as my viewer. I want to rename files in already existing galleries so they have descriptive names for better search engine results. I am not seeing a way to rename them within Showkase. I tried renaming one file directly in the image folder via the server's FTP site, but it caused Showkase to no longer see the picture.
I realize using a title or caption for each picture may help improve SEO, but I would rather not have the names visible as the galleries are viewed (just personal preference). Is there a way that I can manually rename them without starting all over with everything?
Thanks for any ideas or solution you may be able to think of!
