@Bricolage

Thank you for your suggestion.

My notes below may help to clarify some things for others reading your post.

- return to the previous page (by accessing the gallery from the site where it is located),

The Close Gallery button (displayed in place of the Expand Gallery button after the gallery has been expanded) will return the user to the gallery's embedding page.

- access the home page of the site (when the gallery is accessed from a search engine or an external link).

This, as you suggest, can be achieved with the Back Button. Please see here for a list of Back Button configuration options.

And if a hijacked use of the gallery title can fill this gap (add a link...

You can certainly add a link to a Gallery Title using HTML formatting as noted in this FAQ:
How do I add HTML formatting to the Gallery Title or Back Button?

... to avoid that the gallery title overlaps with the home page button icon!

You can use different values for backButtonPosition/backButtonHAlign and galleryTitlePosition/galleryTitleHAlign to ensure that the Back Button and Gallery Title do not overlap one another.

You can set a font family and color for all gallery text (globally) via the galleryFontFace ('Customize -> General') and textColor ('Customize -> Lite') configuration options respectively.

You can style all image titles and captions at once using CSS such as the following (using whatever CSS properties and values you like):

/* IMAGE TITLE */
.jb-caption .jb-caption-title {
    font-family: Courier !important;
    font-size: 20px !important;
    color: #000000 !important;
}

/* IMAGE CAPTION */
.jb-caption .jb-caption-desc {
    font-family: Courier !important;
    font-size: 18px !important;
    color: #000000 !important;
}

/* IMAGE NUMBER */
.jb-cap-frame .jbac-number {
    font-family: Courier !important;
    font-size: 12px !important;
    color: #000000 !important;
}

Depending where you set the CSS, you might find that you need to use !important (as above) to override Juicebox's own CSS rules.

You can also style the Gallery Title and individual image titles and captions using HTML formatting as noted in these FAQs:
How do I add HTML formatting to image captions and titles?
How do I add HTML formatting to the Gallery Title or Back Button?

A sample caption with a font-family of Courier, a font-size of 12px an a color of black (for example) would look like this:

<span style="font-family: Courier; font-size: 12px; color: #000000;">Image caption text goes here.</span>

In the gallery's XML configuration file, the caption would look like this:

<caption><![CDATA[<span style="font-family: Courier; font-size: 12px; color: #000000;">Image caption text goes here.</span>]]></caption>

(If you enter the image caption directly into JuiceboxBulder-Pro's interface, the  the application will automatically add the <caption> and CDATA tags so you need only enter the <span> tag (as above).

I hope this helps.

With Juicebox-Pro, you can create as many individual galleries as you like.
However, if you would like to link together a number of different Juicebox-Pro galleries, then you would need to do so manually following the instructions and online examples in the Embedding Multiple Galleries support section.

Alternatively, if you are looking for a fully automated and customizable method of creating and displaying multiple galleries, then you might like to take a look at another one of our products - Showkase.

Showkase is a PHP web application (installed on your web server rather than your computer) which allows you to create a complete portfolio web site (integrating multiple galleries) online.
Showkase has full support for Juicebox-Pro and the galleries can be created within the application itself in a web browser interface (or created with JuiceboxBuilder-Pro and imported).

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 created with Showkase can be found here and a sample Gallery Index page can be found here.
Please note that the Showkase navigation menu supports only two levels. Gallery pages can be top or second level pages but Gallery Index Pages can be top level pages only (with gallery pages grouped under them).
It is not possible to group Gallery Index Pages under other Gallery Index Pages.

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.
You can take a look around the Showkase interface by logging into the Live Demo Admin.

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

If you use Juicebox-Pro on its own, then each gallery can have its own unique password.
If you use Showkase, then all Juicebox-Pro galleries within a Showkase site share the same 'jbcore' folder and will, therefore, have the same password.

A link in an image caption will take on the gallery's textColor (in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro's 'Customize -> Lite' section) and will be underlined by default (like the link in the image caption for the first image in this demo gallery).

You can style an individual link using HTML formatting (inline CSS) as noted in this FAQ:
How do I add HTML formatting to image captions and titles?

If you enter your image caption directly into JuiceboxBuilder-Pro's interface, then you can use something like:
<a href="index.html" style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">Link</a>
If you edit your gallery's 'config.xml' file in a plain text editor, then you can use a <caption> such as:
<caption><![CDATA[<a href="index.html" style="color: #0000ff; text-decoration: underline;">Link</a>]]></caption>
(JuiceboxBuilder-Pro will automatically add the <caption> and CDATA tags for you.)

Otherwise, you could set the styling for all links within your gallery at once using CSS (either in your gallery's embedding web page or in your gallery's 'jbcore/classic/theme.css' file).
Try adding something like the following to the end of your gallery's 'jbcore/classic/theme.css' file.

.juicebox-gallery a {
    color: #0000ff;
    text-decoration: underline;
}

Be sure to clear your browser's cache after making any changes to ensure that your browser is using the most recent versions of your gallery files (instead of older cached versions).

I hope this points you in the right direction.

In the section:

"<!-- Image gallery content for non-javascript devices -->"

and then of course it was the ol' usual html code/etc to show pictures.

This is the SEO content code which is used primarily to help search engines find and index gallery images in their search results (but it is also used to display gallery images in browsers that do not have JavaScript enabled).
It is generated in the gallery's 'index.html' file (and also presented on JuiceboxBuider-Pro's ''Publish' tab) when the 'Add SEO Content' checkbox is selected in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro's 'Customize -> Sharing' section.
Please see the Search Engine Optimization support section for further details.

Is there a way to do a mass edit of the URL for the images...since my main .HTML file will not be inside the same folder as the /images folder?

JuiceboxBuilder-Pro constructs galleries only with the default structure (with the images stored in a folder named 'images' directly within the gallery folder) and all paths (in the gallery's 'config.xml' file and also in the SEO content code) point to the images in this location.
It is not possible to modify the image paths within JuiceboxBuilder-Pro.
You would need to modify the SEO content code (and possibly the paths in the 'config.xml' file, too) manually in a plain text editor (such as Notepad++).
However, you could quite easily modify all paths in a single search and replace action.
For the SEO content code that you refer to, open the gallery's 'index.html' file in a plain text editor (or copy and paste the embedding code from JuiceboxBuilder-Pro into the editor), then search for:

<img src="images/

... and replace all instances with something like the following (changing the new path as necessary):

<img src="new_path/images/

Also I have the layout to where the thumbnails are above the main image.  Is there any way to lessen the distance between the bottom of the thumbnails and the top of the main image?

Please see this FAQ which may help:
My Juicebox gallery shows too much space above or below the main image, how do I fix this?

If you use the default imageScaleMode of SCALE_DOWN, then your images are likely already displayed as large as they can be within the gallery's image area. (They probably span the entire width of the gallery's image area from left to right with space at the top and bottom.) If they were to be scaled any larger, then there would be less space at the top and bottom but cropping would occur at the left and right.
Two ways to compensate for this would be to either:
(1) Reduce the height of your gallery (to change the aspect ratio of the gallery's image area to better match that of your images).
... or:
(2) Increase the size of the images by setting imageScaleMode to either SCALE or FILL (but please be aware that cropping will likely occur).

You could also perhaps reduce the default thumbPadding (in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro's 'Customize -> Thumbnails' section) from '10' (pixels) to something smaller (but please note that this will affect the spacing around all sides of each thumbnail).

I hope this points you in the right direction.

I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do and whether the hashtag you refer to is an actual Flickr Tag starting with a hash or a hashtag in a Flickr photo title or description (which ends up as an actual Flickr Tag anyway?).

According to these two web pages (notes from Flickr users rather than official Flickr documentation), Flickr seems to treat tags and hashtags similarly as far as searches are concerned.
https://www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us … 655377495/
https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-effec … ickr-photo

Also, I see no specific mention of hashtags in the Flickr API (which Juicebox uses to fetch the list of images to display in the gallery).

If you set flickrUserName and flickrTags in your gallery's configuration file (as you currently do), then only those images from your Flickr account with the specified tag(s) will be displayed. (Tags and hashtags being treated equally according to the web pages above.)
You can remove flickrUserName to display tagged images from all public Flickr accounts and/or you can add multiple flickrTags (separated by commas) in conjunction with setting flickrTagMode to ALL (images need to have all of the specified tags) or ANY (images can have any of the specified tags).

I'm sorry but I don't fully understand your query.
Maybe if you could explain it again, I might be able to clarify things a little better.

According to the documentation I've found online, if you add a hashtag to a Flickr photo title or description, then Flickr will automatically add the hashtag to the image as an actual Flickr Tag and then treat it as a regular Flickr Tag (without the hash). For example, if you use flickrTags="test", then images with Flickr Tags of either test or #test should be displayed. (My understanding of this may be wrong.)
If this is not what you find is happening, then there may be a bug in Flickr's system and you could perhaps contact Flickr's own support team. for further help.

However, it sounds like you've found a workaround "I have to upload to a Flickr album, log in then add a tag." which is not too difficult or time-consuming so maybe that's just the best course of action.

Just thinking out loud as I'm not sure exactly what you are looking to do...
I hope these notes help somewhat.

Juicebox has no built-in support for displaying Instagram images (like it does for displaying Flickr images).
It might be possible to do so via the Instagram Graph API (it looks like they are currently in the process of deprecating their Instagram API Platform) but it looks like it might be a rather complex project.
Even if you were able to use the Instagram Graph API to fetch a list of images to display in your gallery, you'd still need to write a script (in PHP or another server-side scripting language) to dynamically generate a gallery's configuration file (in either XML or JSON format) from the data gathered via the API.
All things considered, it would not be a quick and easy task (if at all possible).

Thank you for the clarification.
Yes, I did not realise that the gallery you referred to was not a Juicebox one. (It sounded to me like it might have been a Juicebox gallery with a custom file structure.) Sorry for the misunderstanding.

If I use the ones already watermarked then Juicebox will put another watermark on them unless I find the original (not watermarked) images to use.

If you plan to create a Juicebox-Pro gallery using both watermarked and un-watermarked source images, then perhaps the best thing to do would be to let Juicebox-Pro watermark all images and then overwrite the double-watermarked images in the gallery's 'images' folder with your original watermarked images.

Otherwise, you could do one of the following:

(1) Find the original un-watermarked images (if you still have them somewhere) and use them to create your Juicebox-Pro gallery.

(2) Watermark your currently un-watermarked images (by whatever method you used to watermark your other images) so that all your images are watermarked before you feed them to Juicebox-Pro (and then do not use Juicebox-Pro's pwn watermarking feature).
You could actually use Juicebox-Pro to watermark your images. Run through the process of creating a gallery using Juicebox-Pro's watermarking feature just to get your images watermarked (you'll find them in the gallery's 'images' folder).
You can then create a fresh gallery using these newly watermarked images along with your existing older watermarked images (turning off Juicebox-Pro's own watermarking feature).

I'm not sure if any of these suggestions will help but I thought I should mention them just in case.

Many thanks for the link to your gallery's web page.
I do not have an iPhone X on which to test but I do have an iPod Touch 6 running iOS 12.1.1.
I viewed your gallery in Mobile Safari and let the AutoPlay run through your 39 images.
All images loaded smoothly (without exception) without the spinner ever appearing at all.
I also viewed your gallery (allowing AutoPlay to run through the images) on a desktop browser (Firefox 64.0.2) without the spinner ever appearing there, either.

Just for the record, I am not on particularly good wi-fi at the moment (10.95 Mbps download speed going through a wi-fi extender).

I realise that the iPhone X is more modern and powerful than my iPod Touch and that your wi-fi is probably much better than I currently have but the results of my tests seem to suggest that the gallery on your web server is fine.

I'm really not sure what the problem could be.
You do not see the problem with any of our demo galleries so this suggests that your iPhone X and internet connection are not at fault.
I do not see the problem with your own gallery (with a lesser device and probably slower wi-fi) so this suggests that the gallery on your web server is fine.
Do you still see the problem with your own gallery on your iPhone X?
It sounds like there may have been a temporary glitch with either your web server or internet connection which has since been resolved.
I can't think of any other cause for the problem at the moment.

I should perhaps mention that if you set changeImageOnHover="TRUE" (in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro's 'Customize -> Main Image' section), then the main image and its caption will change when you hover over the thumbnails, rather than having to click them (in Large Screen Mode only).

It's not what you suggest (your suggestion is now in the Feature Requests thread), but it does involve hovering over thumbnails so I thought I should mention it for others reading this thread.

Thank you for letting me know.

As you suggest, there are numerous ways to add the code to your web pages.
It could certainly be done with just CSS:

.menu-item: z-index: 9999;

I realise that you say you have "excelent network connectivity and modern equipment on the client side"  but this certainly sounds like a problem with either:
(1) Your web server
(2) Your internet connection
(3) Your browser

Do you see similar problems with any of our demo galleries?

Does the problem happen if you try viewing your gallery in different browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari)?

Please post back with 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.

... but config.xml and jbcore/pswd.php are both accessible from the client side.

A gallery's 'config.xml' file is easily found and visible to all but no web site visitor should be able to access the contents of a gallery's 'pswd.php' file (as long as the web server is configured correctly).
Also, in my experience, people don't seem to use very secure passwords for their Juicebox galleries.
Typically, people like to password protect galleries to allow only friends and family to view them and frequently use passwords which are easy to remember.
With rainbow tables readily available on the internet, keeping a password hidden in a PHP file might still be a better option than putting its hashed form in plain view (especially for weak passwords).
However, this is a design choice for the developers to make so I've copied your post to the Feature Requests thread here.

Feature request from bjbarouch (original thread):

Bug: password handling

It is inconvenient to have the password stored in a separate file from the config file. I was told this was for security, but config.xml and jbcore/pswd.php are both accessible from the client side. To be secure, instead of storing passwords in plain text in any file, passwords should be passed through a secure digest such as SHA-2 and the result of that process stored. If this approach is taken, they can be in config.xml, because knowing these values does not inform anyone of the passwords themselves.

Direct linking without changing the URL in the location bar

In the best of both worlds, one could allow for direct links to individual images, but also have the url in the location bar remain the beginning of the slideshow instead of the current image, in case that is bookmarked partway through a gallery. The direct link to image feature could pop up a tiny window with the link to the image ready to be copied or put into a bookmark without being a #image reference in the location bar.

To make it work right I will need to find the original non watermarked versions of my current (non-juicebox) gallery images...

If the source images are still in the same location on your hard drive as they were when you first created the gallery, then JuiceboxBuilder-Pro will automatically find them via the sourcePath entries in the gallery's 'config.xml' file. There will be no need to go looking for them yourself or to manually re-add them to your gallery.

Otherwise, you could certainly find them yourself (if they are no longer in their original location) and re-add them to your gallery or just copy the watermarked gallery images (in the 'images' folder) to a safe location and use them to overwrite any double-watermarked images (again, in the 'images' folder) after you have edited your gallery.
