Topic: Import Juicebox galeries (made with builder)

Hello,

Is it possible to import existing galeries made with Juicebox Pro / Simpleviewer Pro builder in Showkase ?

I bought Showkase this week (already simpleviewer and juicebox  customer from several months) and i encounter issue with captions : i work with juicebox's lightroom plugin to create galeries with personals captions such as google maps, author, dates, tags...

I've tried to import "config.xml" from Juicebox builder in Showkase to conserve the <caption> ... </caption> tags but on on the next publish, my captions disapears. Is there a solution to import the previous captions generated by Juicebox ?

Huge work to copy / paste every captions tags ... :(

Thx

Yes. You can embed an existing Juicebox or SimpleViewer gallery in a Showkase page by using the baseURL method of embedding:
Juicebox - http://www.juicebox.net/support/embeddi … ery-folder
SimpleViewer - http://simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/su … l#external

Essentially, create your gallery, upload the entire gallery folder (not just the contents) to your web server, create or edit a page in Showkase (such as a 'Basic' page) and paste the baseURL embedding code into the text editor section of the page (in 'Source' mode).
It does not matter where on your web server you upload your gallery folder to as long as you know where it is and that the paths within the embedding code (the path to the JavaScript file and the baseURL itself) are correct.

Hi,

just purchased Showkase and don't get the embedding to work...
I did it as Steven decribed above.
I guess it's a path thing ??

<!--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-->

And here a screenshot of my directories:

edit: sorry, can't post image link?!
the folder "fotos" is in the main installation folder of showkase...

Re: Import Juicebox galeries (made with builder)

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-->
