You're welcome.
I know there are a lot of links in my reply but once you've digested all the information, you should hopefully have a good idea of whether or not Showkase is right for you (or if you would rather create gallery index pages manually).

As you mentioned WordPress, I should also perhaps note that there is a dedicated Juicebox plugin for WordPress - WP-Juicebox. The plugin allows you to create and embed Juicebox galleries in your WordPress pages and posts but there is no automated method to display an index of individual galleries. Perhaps you could find a third-party plugin to index only certain posts (those containing Juicebox galleries).

Also, you can always just embed Juicebox galleries created with the Lightroom plugin into WordPress pages or posts using the baseUrl method of embedding (without using WP-Juicebox at all).

With Juicebox-Pro, you would be able to create as many individual galleries as you like. However, if you would like to link them all together, you would need to do so manually following the instructions and examples in the Embedding Multiple Galleries support section. There are several online demo pages which you could adapt to suit your own needs. The examples use text links but you could replace them with image links instead. (Knowledge of HTML would be required.)

If you are looking for an automated solution to creating and listing multiple galleries, then you might be interested in another one of our products - Showkase.

Showkase is a PHP web application which allows you to create complete portfolio web sites (integrating multiple galleries) online.
Showkase has full support for Juicebox-Pro (and SimpleViewer-Pro) galleries and the galleries can be created within the application itself in a web browser interface. Alternatively, you can import galleries created by the Lightroom plugin via Showkase's 'Site -> Import' functionality. Once a gallery has been imported into Showkase, it becomes a genuine Showkase page (just as if the gallery had been created in Showkase itself) and you can edit the gallery within Showkase in the future if you need to.

You can create Gallery Index pages and have as many galleries listed on each Gallery Index page as you wish.
Each gallery is represented by a thumbnail image with the gallery title displayed below and the gallery is opened when the user clicks on the image.
Demo sites can be found here and a sample Gallery Index page can be found here.
Another Gallery Index page (using a different theme) can be found here.

Showkase can also create non-gallery pages (About, Basic and Contact pages) where you can add information about yourself (or any other content you like).
All of this is done automatically within the Showkase interface without the need for any manual coding at all.

Showkase can be purchased as Showkase-Standard (which comes with Juicebox-Lite and SimpleViewer-Standard, the free versions) or Showkase-Pro (which comes with Juicebox-Pro and SimpleViewer-Pro).
(The only difference between Showkase-Standard and Showkase-Pro is the bundled viewers.)

More information on the differences between Juicebox and Showkase can be found in this forum thread.

First of all, please try the following:

(1) Close JuiceboxBuilder-Lite and JuiceboxBuilder-Pro.
(2) Delete the following two folders from your hard drive manually:
/Users/your_username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR/ELS/JuiceboxBuilder-Lite
/Users/your_username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AIR/ELS/JuiceboxBuilder-Pro
(3) Open JuiceboxBuilder-Lite and/or JuiceboxBuilder-Pro and see if this has made a difference.

If this does not help, then please try the full re-installation procedure outlined in this forum thread.

Also, in order to open an existing gallery, click 'Open Gallery...' (or 'Gallery -> Open...' from the drop-down menu at the top) and then navigate towards the gallery folder itself (not the 'config.xml' file) before clicking 'Select Folder'. The gallery folder is the folder which contains the gallery's XML file and the gallery's XML file must be named 'config.xml'. (If you have renamed or moved this file, the gallery will not be able to be opened.)

I notice that the embedding code listed on the muse-themes site is sprinkled with <br /> tags. They should not be there.
It looks like the muse-themes blog software has probably inserted these tags when the embedding code was inserted into the page. Just remove all the <br /> tags and the embedding code should work fine.

Incidentally, the # character at the start of your baseUrl should be a ' character instead.
This is probably just a typo but I thought I should mention it.

Step 5 in the Embedding with Adobe Muse instructions refers to setting the gallery height in the embedding code.
If your embedding code currently looks something like this:

<!--START JUICEBOX EMBED-->
<script src="jbcore/juicebox.js"></script>
<script>
    new juicebox({
        containerId: "juicebox-container",
        galleryWidth: "100%",
        galleryHeight: "100%",
        backgroundColor: "#222222"
    });
</script>
<div id="juicebox-container"></div>
<!--END JUICEBOX EMBED-->

... then you can change the gallery height (to something like 600px) in the galleryHeight line as follows:

<!--START JUICEBOX EMBED-->
<script src="jbcore/juicebox.js"></script>
<script>
    new juicebox({
        containerId: "juicebox-container",
        galleryWidth: "100%",
        galleryHeight: "600",
        backgroundColor: "#222222"
    });
</script>
<div id="juicebox-container"></div>
<!--END JUICEBOX EMBED-->

For reference (and to help anyone else reading this thread), instructions for embedding a Juicebox gallery into Adobe Muse can be found here: http://www.juicebox.net/support/embeddi … adobe-muse

There are alternate embedding instructions here: http://www.muse-themes.com/blogs/news/6 … adobe-muse

You have given your gallery a fixed width of 600px so your gallery's width will always be 600px in all browsers and on all devices. It will not be responsive.
Instead, try giving your gallery a width of 100% so that it fills the width of its parent container, no mater what it is.
This should hopefully solve your problem.

Juicebox-Pro does not have any built-in zoom functionality.
You would need to use your browser's own zoom functionality (or perhaps a browser extension).

If you are using WP-Juicebox, then here are a couple of things to try:

(1) Reinstall the plugin from scratch, following the instructions here, to ensure that all files are present and correct (in case something happened during the initial upload which has somehow resulted in corrupt or missing files).

(2) Deactivate all plugins (other than WP-Juicebox) and reactivate them one-by one, checking the functionality of WP-Juicebox after each one to see if you can find a conflicting plugin. The problem might be related to a security or caching plugin.

Hopefully this will help.

I'm glad you've found a suitable workflow. Perhaps not ideal but probably the best solution for your problem.

...Juicebox seems to allocate the originals to the images folder ...

Just to confirm, if you deselect the 'Resize Images' checkbox on the 'Images' tab, Juicebox will copy the source images across to the output 'images' folder without any processing/resizing.

Good looking output by the way and just what I was after!

That's great to hear! I'm glad you're getting on well with Juicebox!

I'm glad you've been able to resolve your problems.
Thanks for updating your post to let us know.

You're welcome.

(1) Try increasing maxCaptionHeight from its default value of 120.
When the captionPosition is on the image overlay, which it is by default in Small Screen Mode, maxCaptionHeight is used as a maximum value (rather than an actual fixed value) and each caption will take up only as much space as it needs, up to the specified maximum.
This should hopefully help.

(2) That's just how Mobile Safari iOS 8 works. You should see the same behavior on all web pages, whether they have Juicebox galleries embedded in them or not.
In portrait orientation, the lower toolbar will disappear if you scroll down a page (with scrollable content).
In a 100% x 100% Juicebox gallery on a page of its own, there is no scrollable content (the gallery fills the viewport and there is nothing below the gallery) and the lower toolbar will always be visible (in portrait orientation).

You can download a fresh copy of Juicebox-Pro using the link in your purchase email.
If you no longer have access to this, then please fill in the Download Link Request Form to the best of your ability and the admin team will send you a new link.
You can then extract the zip file and install JuiceboxBuilder-Pro following the instructions here.

It sounds like the problem might be with the paths to your images.
Please check that your image and thumbnail files have been uploaded to the correct location on your web server and make sure that the imageURL and thumbURL entries in your gallery's XML file point correctly to the images.

Please also see this FAQ:
My images show locally, but not when I upload them to my website. Why?

Another possible cause of your problem might be with permissions. Please check that the permissions on the image and thumbnail files (and on the 'images' and 'thumbs' folders) are not too restrictive. Default permissions of 755 for folders and 644 for files should work fine.
You can check permissions on files and folders on your web server with an FTP program such as Filezilla or by using the File Manager within your web hosting account's online cPanel.

I hope these suggestions help.
However, if you continue to experience difficulties, then please post (or email me) the URL to your gallery's web page so that I can take a look at the problem for myself and hopefully help further.
Thank you.

If you are trying to create a gallery locally with JuiceboxBuilder-Pro, then you will need to have the images on a local drive. JuiceboxBuilder-Pro cannot create a gallery from images on a web server (except when using Flickr as a source of images).

You could, however, create a gallery manually (following the instructions here) and use absolute URLs for the imageURL and thumbURL entries pointing to the images on your server.

If you wanted to create a gallery populated by images in a designated folder on your server, then you could implement the suggestion in this forum post. However, this would work only when the gallery is uploaded to your server. You would not be able to run the gallery locally (from your own computer) as it relies on PHP (a server-side scripting language) to dynamically build the gallery's XML file.

You can add a languageList into the Pro Options text area of a gallery's settings window (or the Pro Options text area of the Set Defaults section of the Manage Galleries page) as follows (changing the values as necessary):

languageList="Show Thumbnails|Hide Thumbnails|Expand Gallery|Close Gallery|Open Image in New Window|Images"

(The Pro Options text area will accept any configuration options not catered for via individual controls in the plugin's interface.)

First of all, please make sure that you are using the most recent version of Juicebox-Lite (v1.4.4.1) to ensure that any bugs which were present in previous versions are not contributing to your problem.

If this does not help, then the most likely cause of the problem is some conflicting custom CSS code which is affecting all images on your web page (including those in your gallery).
Check your web page (and all external CSS files loaded into your web page) for any CSS rules being applied to <img> tags which might be causing your problem. (The developer tools in your browser, usually accessed via F12, may be useful.)
If you find any such rules, I would recommend applying them only to those elements on your web page which require them through use of CSS selectors.

If you continue to experience difficulties, please post the URL to your gallery's web page so that I can take a look at the problem for myself and hopefully help further. (Your web page is not currently loading using the URL in your screenshot).
Thank you.

'juicebox_pro.lrwebengine' is a folder, rather than a file (as you noted), although it is seen as a special package on a Mac which can be double-clicked to install. On a Windows PC, you will need to follow the Manual Installation instructions on the plugin's support page.

Just copy the 'juicebox.lrwebengine' folder to your Lightroom 'Web Galleries' folder and the web engine will be accessible via Lightroom's Web module.

  • Mac OS X - Users/username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Web Galleries/

  • Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 - C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries\

  • Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries\

Adobe have discontinued Extension Manager (please see here for details) and, according to this page, it should no longer be possible to use Extension Manager to install the .zxp version of the plugin in Photoshop CC 2015.

Note:

In Photoshop CC 2015, you can no longer install add-ons directly using Extension Manager. Instead you must use the Creative Cloud desktop app.

(Incidentally, contrary to this information, I have been able to install the .zxp version of the plugin in Photoshop CC 2015 using Extension Manager CC v7.3.2.39 on PC.)

We are currently in the process of updating the Photoshop plugin to ensure that it is can be auto-installed via the Creative Cloud Desktop App but, in the meantime, the easiest way to install the plugin is to grab the CS2, CS3 and CS4 .zip version from the plugin's support page and follow the manual installation instructions. The resulting files in the 'Presets/Scripts/' folder will be exactly the same as if installing the .zxp version. Only the packaging of the files differs between the two.

Unfortunately, there is currently no version of the 'juicebox.js' file which does not contain jQuery and there is no way for a user to remove jQuery from the 'juicebox.js' file. (Incidentally, the version of jQuery bundled within the 'juicebox.js' file is a simplified version rather than the complete library.)

Removing jQuery from the 'juicebox.js' file would require that the user includes jQuery in their web page.
This might be easy enough for yourself but it would be another step in the embedding process and we try to keep the embedding instructions as simple as possible. Also, there is the risk that the user would include an incompatible version of jQuery. As it stands, Juicebox will work with any (or no) version of jQuery loaded into the web page.
Also, if the simplified version of jQuery was removed from the 'juicebox.js' file (Juicebox essentially becoming a jQuery plugin) and the full version of jQuery was loaded into the web page alongside the slimmed-down 'juicebox.js' file, then the total size of both JavaScript files would exceed the current size of the 'juicebox.js' file alone.
This would be a benefit only for those users who already load jQuery into their web page.

Having said that, the developers have been looking into ways to minimize the 'juicebox.js' file.

Also, I would also encourage you to post your suggestion in the Feature Requests forum thread. This keeps all the ideas together and ensures that they are not overlooked. Thank you.

You're welcome!
I'm glad I was able to help.
