The Juicebox Lightroom plugin bug manifesting itself in Lightroom 3 (whereby the live preview window does not work) cannot be resolved.
The Juicebox Lightroom plugin officially requires Lightroom 4. Please see this page for details.
However, you should still be able to create a Juicebox gallery using the plugin and Lightroom 3. Only the live preview window should be affected.
Thank you for posting the link to your gallery.
However, I do not see the images flash and disappear as you describe.
Could you please confirm whether you use a Mac or PC and which browser(s) you see the problem in? Thank you.
I do not know why your gallery created with JuiceboxBuilder does not work. I have not encountered this scenario before.
It would certainly help if I were to see the gallery and examine the files.
Would it be possible for you to either upload the gallery and post the URL or zip the gallery folder and upload that instead?
Thank you.

(still can't get border widths in jablbum tho')
Entering something like:
frameWidth=20... into the skin's 'Pro Options' text area should be enough to give the main images a border.
If you continue to experience difficulties, please post a new thread in this jAlbum forum (with the word 'Juicebox' somewhere in the thread's title) and I'll try to help you over there.
@wspollack
(with the possible exception of some really thin borders that seem to have appeared around the thumbnails, but I'm ignoring that for now)
Add the word 'closeups' to your filters to ensure that the drop-shadows are applied only to your main images and not the thumbnails.
filter1 class=XBorderFilter shWidth=23 shTrans=10 shDrop=soft shCol=black bgCol=#E6D4BA shDir=SE closeups
filter2 class=XBorderFilter shWidth=23 shCol=#E6D4BA bgCol=#E6D4BA shDir=NW closeupsYes. Instructions are in the 'readme.txt' file in the skin's folder.
To integrate the Pro version of Juicebox into the skin, replace the Lite version 'jbcore' folder in the skin's folder ('Juicebox/res/juicebox/jbcore/') with the Pro version 'jbcore' folder from the Juicebox-Pro download package ('juicebox_pro_1.0.2/web/jbcore/').
To find the skin's folder, select the skin and then go to 'Tools -> Open Directories -> Skin directory' from jAlbum's drop-down menu at the top.
Only the Juicebox-Lite options are included in the Lightroom plugin's interface.
In order to incorporate Pro Options, you can either open and edit your gallery using JuiceboxBuilder-Pro or edit your gallery's 'config.xml' file directly (to add the Pro Options as attributes to the opening <juiceboxgallery> tag).
Thank you simonjacobs.

As a result of reading this forum, I just upgraded from 1.0.0 to 1.0.2.
I understand your request for an automated update system but in the absence of this, perhaps the next best thing would be to follow us on Twitter @juiceboxgallery. We Tweeted about the update a few days ago.
What I especially like about JB, vs. SV:
- You can set the preload to one image.
- Non-flash - remote device vs. large screen based on browser size.
- You can embed URLs in comments (which Flash doesn't allow).
You can actually do all three in SimpleViewer-Pro.
(1) Set imagePreloading="NEXT" to preload only the next (one) image.
(2) SimpleViewer-Pro supports Universal Playback (thought the Mobile Player has less features than Juicebox). A gallery will always be displayed whether Adobe Flash Player is detected or not.
(3) You can insert links in your captions by adding HTML formatting to your captions. As an example, the first image in this sample gallery includes a link in its caption.
What I especially like about SV, vs. JB:
- You can put thumbs on the left.
- You can create drop shadows.
- You can link to Hi-Res (i.e., full-size) images, for separate-page viewing.
You can use the linkURL entries in the gallery's XML file to point to larger images if you wish (which will be used when the user clicks on the 'Open Image in New Window' button).
If you are referring to the 'hi-res' folder that jAlbum generates whilst using the SimpleViewer Skin, try the new Juicebox Skin which also has this functionality. Just select 'Link to hi-res via scaled images' on jAlbum's 'Pages' settings tab.
@TonyHall
Thank you for pointing that out. I'll try to ensure that this is fixed as soon as possible.
In the meantime, if you need a new download link, please contact support@juicebox.net with your Transaction ID, Date of Purchase, Email Address used for purchase and your current email address to which you'd like the new download link sent.
@simonjacobs
Yes. This is normal. The plugin does not detect for the presence of a Pro version and change the message accordingly.
Thank you for reporting. This is a known bug and a bug report has already been logged so hopefully it will be fixed in the next version.
However, it affects only the live preview window and does not affect the ability to actually create a Juicebox gallery (by changing the required options and then clicking the 'Export...' button).
I see that you have now found out how to download the new version of Juicebox-Pro but for others who may not know, please see the Upgrading Juicebox section of the 'Juicebox Support Home' page for details.
[Topic split to new thread.]
(Starting a new topic to avoid polluting the original thread.)
Thank you. I've just split that thread into two to keep the topics separate.
I just upgraded to v1.0.2 - thank you.
You hid that well! No announcement on this forum, no email (I'm subscribed), however I now know to check here.
We Tweeted a couple of days ago.
Follow us @juiceboxgallery.
I assume that in the future, if I want to upgrade existing galleries, all I have to do is replace each 'jbcore' folder in each uploaded gallery and the galleries will continue to work but with the newer, faster, shinier version of Juicebox-Pro?
That is correct. Please see the Upgrading Juicebox section of the 'Juicebox Support Home' page for details.
The squashed thumbnails should have been fixed in Juicebox v1.0.2 and I am not seeing squashed thumbnails when generating a gallery using the current Lightroom plugin.
Thank you for reporting the bugs you have found in the Lightroom plugin. I will log appropriate bug reports.
Hence 2 url's.
You can use the 'gillrays/gallery.html' URL for both (Flash and Mobile).
The 'index.html' page generated by the SimpleViewer skin is required only when your album uses a menu, header or footer.
I am sure a Lightroom plugin will follow.
The Juicebox Lightroom Plugin is now available from this page.
Thanks for the support it really is appreciated and I really am just trying to be helpful and objective..... :)
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate it!
Although I still need to provide 2 URL's with this solution. One for desktop, one for mobile non Flash.
A SimpleViewer v2.3.0 gallery requires only one URL. The gallery will be displayed with the Flash Player if Adobe Flash Player is detected, otherwise, the gallery will be displayed by the Mobile Player (on mobile devices and in browsers which do not have Adobe Flash Player installed and enabled).
Are you perhaps using a jAlbum skin which uses a version of SimpleViewer prior to v2.1.0 when Universal Playback was introduced? If so, try the SimpleViewer Skin which is up-to-date and incorporates SimpleViewer-Standard v2.3.0.
If you have the time, can you briefly explain in layman's terms why pulling in the IPTC is not possible in SV or JBBuilder, both your products, yet it is possible with Photo Mechanic, (which uses and ancient version of SV with no mobile fallback) the jAlbum skin and Lightroom SV plugins?
This is simply because svBuilder and JuiceboxBuilder were not designed to do so.
This functionality may be included in a future version. Please post feature requests in this thread so that they are not overlooked. Thank you.
Try the Juicebox Skin for jAlbum.
Juicebox has two comment tags for each image entry in the XML file which are displayed in the caption area: <title> and <caption>.
Go to jAlbum's 'Advanced -> Metadata' settings tab and select only 'IPTC Caption' in the 'Comment sources' control panel to display the image's 'IPTC Caption' as the Juicebox <caption>.
You can also set the Juicebox <title> to be either the 'IPTC Object Name' (Document Title) or the 'IPTC Headline' by selecting the appropriate source in jAlbum's 'Title source' drop down menu on the same settings tab.
If you choose 'No IPTC' as the 'Title source', jAlbum will use the image's filename (without the extension) as the Juicebox <title>.
The Juicebox Skin is designed to create multi-gallery albums, linked together by a JavaScript navigation tree.
If you wish to make only a single gallery without the navigation tree, deselect the 'Process subdirectories' checkbox on jAlbum's 'Advanced -> General' settings tab.
It looks like it is not currently possible to use Juicebox with a PHP configUrl.
I will log a bug report and hopefully this functionality will be available in a future version.
Thank you for reporting.
I see an option for adding an expand button in the Lite version.
This option is available to Juicebox-Pro, too.
Juicebox-Lite accepts only the Lite Options and the Embed Options on the Juicebox Configuration Options page.
Juicebox-Pro accepts all options on the page.
Just make sure that you have set showExpandButton="true" in your gallery's 'config.xml' file.
Please note that the 'Expand Button' will be displayed only if the gallery is embedded in a page at dimensions of less than 100% of the browser window size. Otherwise, the gallery will already be displayed as large as possible (100% x 100%) and the 'Expand Button' would be redundant.
@bertrand
Font and Font Size options for caption
You can change the font size and font family of the Caption and Title by modifying the CSS in the 'jbcore/classic/theme.css' file.
Change the '.jb-caption' class for the Caption and the '.jb-caption-title' class for the Title.
For more information on creating a Custom Theme (which allows modification of a gallery beyond that which is capable by changing the preconfigured options), please see the Juicebox Theming Guide.
And because that's the default, I assume it's what I already have.
That is correct.
My issue is that the caption only 'sits over main image' sometimes.
It would be more accurate to say that the caption and title sit over main image area.
You could ensure that the caption sits at the bottom of your main image (though it would still start beyond the left of the main image) by increasing the size of your main images to dimensions beyond most monitor resolutions. Juicebox would then dynamically scale your images down to fit the main image area and there would be no space at the bottom of the main image area (below the main image) where the caption is positioned.
@wspollack
When the user clicks on the 'Open Image in New Window' button, Juicebox will open the corresponding linkURL in the 'config.xml' file. (If the linkURL is empty, Juicebox will simply open the imageURL itself.)
You can, therefore, include a 'Hi-Res' folder of larger-sized images and use the linkURL entries in the 'config.xml' file to point to them. (This would have to be done manually as there is currently no automated way to achieve this.)
@Rainer
Thank you for the suggestions.
every wanted look and feel configurable by user (CSS3 and HTML Layout) - most or all of this might be already exist in current version.
Juicebox features many Configuration Options which can be set by the user very easily.
To modify the layout beyond what is capable with the preconfigured options, please see the Juicebox Theming page. This involves modification of the gallery theme's CSS and/or image files.
complete configuration of the Gallery directly in Lightroom
I think it is unlikely that anyone will write a Juicebox plugin for Lightroom with a user interface which features all possible configuration options.
The user interfaces for most plugins (I'm thinking of AutoViewer, PostcardViewer, SimpleViewer and TiltViewer here) feature only Lite options. In order to incorporate Pro Options in a plugin-generated gallery, the user could either manually edit the gallery's 'config.xml' file or open and edit the gallery in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro (which does have all Pro Options available through its user interface).
export as page or embed info for a page.
JuiceboxBuilder-Pro creates a complete gallery folder. The 'index.html' page within the gallery folder can be used to view the gallery on its own page.
JuiceboxBuilder-Pro also supplies the user with embedding code (on the 'Publish' tab) which can be used to embed the gallery in an existing HTML page alongside other content (following these instructions).
