Feature Requests (Page 2 of 4)

The current version of Showkase (v1.0.3) has not yet been updated with the new features available in Juicebox v1.3.0.
Until is it updated, if you would like to incorporate the new features in your Juicebox galleries, you could create a gallery preset file (using JuiceboxBuilder-Pro v1.3.0) and follow the 'Customize Individual Viewers' instructions here.

Thank you for the suggestions.

I realise that this is a request for the interface but it can be achieved manually by entering the following code into your 'showkase/_themes/kosel/css/custom.css' page:

.type-galleryindex .thumbs img {
    -moz-border-radius: 15px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 15px;
    border-radius: 15px;
}

Suggestions:

* Allow cols to be set by page, not just sitewide.
* Allow home page to "not" have to be in upper nav. it's redundant, as site logo usually always goes back to home page by custom
* Add support for email forms (prob simple php coding, which is on nearly every server)
* Don't force table borders by default.

After uploading images for a gallery, go to the 'Images' tab, scroll down to the bottom of the page, select the 'Select all captions' checkbox, enter {file} in the 'Set selected to:' text field and click the 'Set' button.
This will set all image captions to be the filenames.

Please see the 'Editing Individual Captions' section in the Pages Menu support section for further details of other special codes which can be used for the image titles and captions.

Let me start by saying this program is pretty great!  Once I got through the technical hurdles of getting it to play nice with my hosting, the ease of the UI has been a dream.  There are a few things I would really love to see or if you can give me the code I would need to insert etc, that would be great. 

-  The ability to upload custom thumbnails.   -as an artist, I really would like to create custom thumbnails for galleries rather than the auto thumbnails it generates that don't look quite how I would like.  I tried simply copying over ftp a custom .jpg and editing the link in the .html but it for some reason caused some errors and the page got messed up.    But being able to do all that in the showkase program UI would be great, so I could just upload custom thumbnails and assign the links etc...in a gallery page.

-  Being able to set up Mouseover/mouseout  events.   I would love in the case of a list gallery being able to have mouseover on the images in the list, just simple image swaps on mouseover.

- being able to nest galleries inside of other galleries.   (but this one is a minor request)

That's all I Can think of for now.   This is really a great package you've put out, and I hope to see it update and grow and become even more robust over time.

Thanks!

Definitely one of the coolest image browsers out there.  Great Work!!

I've noticed on "list viewer gallery"
when you scroll down to an image that you like, then turn the mobile device to landscape mode, it loses your place in the images. Is there an option that works to keep it on the same image?

Here is a website that uses a similar list viewer gallery:
fengzhudesign.com
On this site. when you turn the mobile device into landscape mode, it stays on the image. This works whether in portrait (holding mobile device upright), or landscape (holding mobile device sideways).

Its not a huge deal, but if you have come across this when designing it, it would be cool to get it working.

Thanks,
John

Thanks for your suggestions.

We intend to add drag and drop ordering of pages in a future version. However it's a little complicated because some pages are children of other pages so it may be a while before we work out a solution that's simple for the user and works in all cases.

Pages hidden in the nav are shown in a paler blue color in the admin pages screen. At the moment there is no indication of hiding in the index pages – we'll take a look at that.

Unfortunately, not that I am aware of.

However, thank you for posting your suggestion in the Feature Requests thread where it will be seen by the developers.

would be great to have a simple way to embed virtual tours.
could you give me the actual procedure? i can't make it and i find no help..
thanks

Could we please think about an additional image import option?

I'm just thinking about saving space and labor. To avoid having to make extra copies of a jpeg and then chase it and erase it. A direct path from Lightroom to export a jpeg into Showkase's import module would help. I think that would require a Lightroom plugin!

There is, unfortunately, no drag and drop from Lightroom into another app that I know of, and anyway, until you export, the Lightroom image doesn't really exist in the form you want.

Thanks,

You can set default values for Juicebox galleries at theme level by going to 'Site -> Customize Viewers' and clicking 'Edit' next to 'Juicebox-Pro'. All configuration options set on this page will be used throughout the current theme as default values each time you create a new Juicebox gallery page. (These options can be overridden on individual gallery pages).

Would it be possible to select a watermark file from the Library rather than supply a path?
Would it be possible to preview the effect of a candidate watermark file on a selected image?
