Topic: New Themes

Are there any plans for releasing new and/or updated themes (JuiceBox or otherwise) to use with Showkase?

Re: New Themes

Forgot to mention...
Also, a theme that would allow video to be shown would be a great addition!  Please let me know if new themes are coming.

Thanks!

Re: New Themes

Sorry, there are no new themes in the pipeline.
If you're adventurous and proficient in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, you could perhaps create your own theme.
Check out the Creating Themes support section for details.

With regard to videos...

If you have a video uploaded to Vimeo or YouTube (or a similar service), then you can grab the video's embed code from the site and insert it into a Showkase page (e.g. a 'Basic' page).
You can insert whatever HTML code you like (e.g. a video's embed code) into the text editor on a Showkase page.
Just make sure that your text editor (on the Showkase page) is in 'Source' mode (click the 'Source' button in the text editor's toolbar).

Otherwise, if you want to host a video on your own web server and embed it into a Showkase page, then try the following:
(1) Upload the video file to your web server. In this example, we'll call it 'movie.mp4' and upload it to the root directory.
(2) Enter something like the following code into the Showkase page's text editor (in 'Source' mode), changing the width as necessary:

<video src="/movie.mp4" width="800" controls>Your browser does not support the video tag.</video>

The leading slash in the 'src' attribute denotes your root directory. If you upload your video file to a location other that your root directory, make sure that the path to the video file is correct. (If it is a relative path, then it should be relative to the Showkase page's location, i.e. one directory down from the Showkase directory.)

More information about the <video> tag and its attributes can be found here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/W … ment/video

Showkase's own video fitting routine ensures that the video fits within the theme's 'Max site width (px)' and the user's browser window.

Re: New Themes

It would be great to see some updates, but nonetheless this is good info to have. Thank you!

Re: New Themes

You can always post suggestions in the Feature Request thread.
I don't know what suggestions might be implemented in future versions but it's the best place for ideas to be seen by the developers.
Thanks!
