Topic: Submenus in Kosel theme / Linking to particular image in JuiceBox

1) I'm using your software for a new client stanwenocurart.com.  He's happy with the result but wanting the submenu that appears under "About the Artist" to show up on roll-over.  I saw a posting about this a couple of years stating that it was not possible... has this been resolved at this point?

2) Off of his "Current News" page there are various little articles with images of the work.  He'd like to link those images directly into his JuiceBox pages so that if the image on the "News" page is clicked the appropriate gallery is opened with the related image.  Is there a syntax for doing this?

Re: Submenus in Kosel theme / Linking to particular image in JuiceBox

(1) This is still not possible. In the Kosel theme, submenu entries are present only on the pages to which they are relevant.
For example, the "Bio / Exhibits Reviews / Interviews Studio" links are only present on the "About the Artist" page.
If you are on the "Abstract Work" page, then the "Bio / Exhibits Reviews / Interviews Studio" links are not part of the current page so there is no way to display them when hovering over "About the Artist".
Showkase would need to be modified so that all submenu entries are always present in all pages and that relevant ones are visible only when the corresponding main menu entries are hovered over.
This would be difficult to achieve (In-depth knowledge of the Showkase source code would be required.)
If you like, you could post this as a suggestion for a future version of Showkase in the Feature Requests forum thread.
This keeps all the ideas together and ensures that they are not overlooked by the developers.
A possible workaround would be to use the Boma theme (which uses a side menu rather than a top menu) and select 'Show all subnav' (in the 'Site -> Customize Theme -> Navigation' section) so that all submenu entries are always visible.

(2) Select 'Enable direct links' in a Juicebox gallery page's 'General' section and you will be able to use URLs such as http://www.example.com/showkase/gallery/#2 to link directly to individual images within the gallery. (The number after the # in the URL refers to the image number in the gallery.)
Please see the General section of the Juicebox Config Options page for a short description of the enableDirectLinks option.
