Can Juicebox link to and display my photos from Dropbox?

Unfortunately not. Dropbox is a file sharing service rather than a regular web host.
If you uploaded an image to Dropbox, you'd need to be able to just view the image on its own but Dropbox wraps the image within its own 'download this image' web page and it is not possible to just view the image in isolation.

Other than hosting the images on your own web site, you could use a Flickr account as a source of images for a Juicebox gallery. You could upload your images to a Flickr account and then select which images you want to display via Juicebox's Flickr options (see the Lite and Flickr Pro sections in the Config Options page).

Unfortunately, there are no configuration options available to enable the right-click context menu within a Juicebox gallery.

However, it should be possible to copy text within a gallery by highlighting it and using the Ctrl+C keyboard shortcut for the 'copy' action.

Also, if you want to allow users to download images within a gallery, then you can either:
(1) Set showOpenButton="TRUE" (in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro's 'Customize -> Lite' section) so that visitors can click the 'Open Image Button' on the gallery's Button Bar to open the currently displayed image in a new tab where it can easily be saved.
... or:
(2) Set showDownloadButton="TRUE" (in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro's 'Customize -> Button Bar' section) so that visitors can click the 'Download Button' on the gallery's Button Bar to directly download the currently displayed image.
Please see this FAQ:
How do I allow or prevent users from saving gallery images?

Exactly the same plugin (with the same scaling routine) is used for both Photoshop CC 2017 and Photoshop CC 2018 so, assuming the settings and source images are the same, then I would certainly expect the output to be the same, too.

I see that the 1st image in your test gallery is larger (1500 x 1000) than the same image in your 'Chili Night' gallery (1024 x 683) so Juicebox has to dynamically resize the image to a different extent in both galleries when they are displayed.

Please double-check the 'Maximum Image Width, px:' and 'Maximum Image Height, px:' values in the script's interface in both Photoshop CC 2017 and Photoshop CC 2018 to make sure that you are using the same values in both programs.

If the source images are the same, the plugin is the same one and the setting are identical then the only other variable is Photoshop itself but I really cannot explain why CC 2017 and CC 2018 would be producing different results.

If you find that you are not getting the results you like from Photoshop CC 2018, then you might like to try creating your galleries by a different method, such as JuiceboxBuilder-Pro or the Juicebox Lightroom Plugin (if you have Adobe Lightroom).
I realise that this might not be as convenient for you as using Photoshop and you might need to change your workflow a little but if the results are improved, then it might be worthwhile.

You can force the gallery to be displayed in Small Screen Mode (where thumbnails and main images are displayed on separate pages) by setting screenMode="SMALL" (in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro's 'Customize -> General' section).

Please see here for details on Screen Modes.

In Small Screen Mode, a grid of thumbnails is displayed and when one is selected, the large image is displayed (replacing the thumbnail page). The user can return to the thumbnail page via the Thumbnail Button on the gallery's Button Bar.
Click here for an example.

Thumbnails can be sized using the thumbWidth and thumbHeight options (all thumbnails in a gallery share the same dimensions).
Thumbnails in Small Screen Mode are displayed on pages. If there is not enough room to display all the thumbnails on a single page, then additional thumbnail pages are created and the user can scroll through the thumbnail pages via the thumbnail navigation arrows (by setting showSmallThumbNav="TRUE" in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro's 'Customize -> Thumbnail' section).

Try resizing your browser window whilst viewing the sample gallery to see how the thumbnail page reacts to different viewport sizes.

the dialogue boxes in Jb were fuzzy

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this. Are you referring to the Juicebox Photoshop Plugin's interface?
If this is fuzzy (as well as your images), then maybe the problem is a graphics driver issue.
Please check that your graphics drivers are up to date.
Also, make sure that your computer is using a display scale of 100% and is not scaling content up or down at a percentage other than 100%.

Do you get the same fuzzy photos when creating a gallery by another method (for example, JuiceboxBuilder-Pro)?

Maybe you could provide a link to your gallery so that I could take a look at it for myself.
Also, if possible, please upload a couple of screenshots so that I can see what you are seeing. (You can attach them to a post here in the forum of upload them to a file sharing service such as Dropbox and provide links.)
Thank you.

If you have Showkase, then you could use it to create your complete website (without any manual coding).
You can create Juicebox gallery pages within the Showkase interface or you can create galleries with JuiceboxBuilder-Pro and them import them into your Showkase site (via the 'Site -> Import' functionality).
Showkase automatically generates a navigation menu with links to all your pages.
You can also create a gallery index page in Showkase (on the 'Pages' tab) and, to list gallery pages on the gallery index page, just drag-and-drop the names of the gallery pages (again, on the 'Pages' tab) on top of the gallery index page. Be sure to click 'Save' and 'Publish' afterwards.

If you are looking to link a few galleries together manually (with links at the top of the pages), then take a look at the examples in the Embedding Multiple Galleries support section.
It sounds like the Top Menu example is along the lines of what you are looking to achieve. You can view the source of the example in your browser and copy/modify it to suit your needs.

When you say that your navigation bar is currently positioned top left and you'd like it horizontally centered, applying the CSS rule text-align: center; (like we do in the Top Menu example above) might be all that is required.

I hope this points you in the right direction.

With Juicebox-Pro, you can set the thumbsPosition (TOP, BOTTOM, LEFT or RIGHT) and you can also specify the maxThumbColumns and maxThumbRows.
As an example, you could set thumbsPosition="LEFT", maxThumbColumns="2" and maxThumbRows="6" to have 2 columns of thumbnails to the left of the main image.
In such a configuration, there will always be 2 columns on thumbnails but the actual number of rows will depend on the space available in the user's browser window.

Here's a sample gallery with this configuration:

For reference, a complete list of Thumbnail Options can be found here.

I've never a great deal of luck with frames on mobile devices and there are also drawbacks to loading Juicebox galleries into frames (such as the inability to expand galleries beyond the frames) so I'd avoid frames if at all possible.
For other disadvantages of loading Juicebox galleries into iframes, please see the Using an External Gallery Folder support section (scroll down to "2) Using an iframe").
Thankfully, there are several alternatives that you might like to consider.

Suggestion #1

Take a look at the Side Menu Example in the Embedding Multiple Galleries support section.
The web page is laid out using CSS (instead of frames) and the gallery index is housed in a side menu.
In this example, there is a separate web page (including the side menu) for each gallery but you could perhaps use this layout in conjunction with the Switching between Multiple Galleries using JavaScript technique so that there is only ever one web page and the galleries are loaded into a <div> container (similar to targeting an iframe) on demand.
You can view the source of the example pages in your web browser and copy/modify them as required.

Suggestion #2

You might like to take a look at the Juicebox skin for jAlbum.
jAlbum is not free but the program is quite powerful in that you can point it towards an entire directory structure and the program will create a Juicebox gallery for each and every folder in the input, all at once. All galleries will be linked together by a navigation tree in a side menu. The resulting web page does not use frames (or iframes) and also uses the JavaScript baseUrl switching mechanism to load the galleries when the tree nodes (each representing a different gallery) are clicked.

Suggestion #3

Perhaps the easiest and best option for creating a complete portfolio website from scratch would be to use Showkase.

Showkase is a PHP web application which in installed on your web server and whose interface is accessed via a web browser.
Showkase has full support for Juicebox-Pro and the galleries can be created within the application itself via its 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.

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) 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).

I hope you find this information useful.
If you have any further queries, please let me know.

A Juicebox gallery is embedded into a regular HTML <div> container (see the Embedding Guide for details) at dimensions specified by the galleryWidth and galleryHeight configuration options in the embedding code. If the gallery <div> is the only container on the web page and the gallery has a width of 100% and a height of 100%, then the gallery will fill the page.

However, the gallery does not need to be the only <div> on the web page (and the gallery's dimensions do not need to be '100%', you can use other percentage values or fixed pixel values such as '600px').
Take a look at the Side Menu and Top Menu sample pages in the Resizable Gallery support section for examples of galleries with other <div> containers on the page. These examples are full page demos (where everything is visible without the need for scroll bars) but Juicebox galleries can be embedded in regular scrolling pages, too (see here for an example). It just depends on the layout of your web page and where you position your gallery <div> (and the dimensions of the gallery) as to how the gallery will look on your page.
You can view the source of the demos in your browser and copy/modify them to suit your own needs if you like.

I hope this helps to clarify things.

Does that mean that I have to upload with Lightroom all my new galleries to a location on my site, par example: www.ppphoto.nl/juicebox/"name new gallerie" and put a link from my thumbnail images to such a new gallerie and from which I can go with the home button back to the page with the thumbnails? I think if that works it would be relatively easy to update my site over and over with new photoseries.

Yes, absolutely. It should be relatively easy to modify your custom gallery index page to link your thumbnail images to your gallery 'index.html' pages and keeping all your gallery folders in a centralized 'juicebox' directory, though not essential, will certainly help to keep things organized on your web server.

This works as it should be,  but i cannot go back to my site so i will buy the pro version.

With Juicebox-Pro, you'll certainly be able to use the Back Button to provide visitors to your website with a way back to your gallery index page.

Do you know if is it possible to use the juiceboxlinks for example as a "splashpage" under each little photo (on    http://www.ppphoto.nl/Portfolio_nieuwste%20series.html  so that i every time return to that page and be able to open another album on another picture ?

You could embed all your galleries on your main overview page (please see the Embedding Guide for details) and use the Splash Page for every one (so that a mini Splash Page expands each gallery when clicked and the visitor would be able to return to your gallery index page by closing the expanded gallery).

Alternatively, you could leave your thumbnail images as they are, upload all your individual gallery folders to your web server and link the thumbnail images on your gallery index page (using regular HTML <a> tags) to the 'index.html' files in the corresponding gallery folders (to open full page galleries) with each gallery featuring a Back Button so that the visitor can return to your gallery index page.
For example, instead of using:

<a href="/Portfolio_nieuwste series.html"><img src="/images/miniaturen/Katja2_miniatuur.jpg" alt="Katja" width="120" height="180" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('Katja2','','')" /></a>

... you could use something like the following (assuming that you upload all your gallery folders to a directory named 'Juicebox_Galleries' in your root directory):

<a href="/Juicebox_Galleries/Katja2/index.html"><img src="/images/miniaturen/Katja2_miniatuur.jpg" alt="Katja" width="120" height="180" /></a>

OK. As long as you can get the juicebox_pro.lrwebengine (or juicebox_lite.lrwebengine) folder inside the C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries\ directory, then you should see "Juicebox-Pro" (or "Juicebox-Lite") as a 'Layout Style' in the 'Web' module.

I use Windows 7 and LR 5.2, so it should work?

Yes, the Juicebox Lightroom Plugin should install and run fine on Lightroom 4 or later.

Also when I use the plugin manager of LR and I search for the noticed folder Than I get a failure notice, that LR could not succeed

The Juicebox Lightroom Plugin is not technically a Lightroom 'Plug-in' (and it cannot be installed by Lightroom's 'Plug-in Manager'). It is actually a Lightroom 'Web Engine' and, once installed, shows up as a 'Layout Style' option in the 'Web' module.
Installation instructions can be found on the support page but below are some additional details which should help you to successfully install the web engine.

You should be able to install the Juicebox Lightroom Plugin as follows:

(1) Extract the Juicebox-Pro v1.5.1 zip file and you'll find the Juicebox Lightroom Plugin in this location:
juicebox_pro_1.5.1/adobe-lightroom-plugin/juicebox_pro.lrwebengine

(2) On a Windows PC, juicebox_pro.lrwebengine looks like a regular folder but you should be able to install the web engine by dragging and dropping the juicebox_pro.lrwebengine folder directly onto your Lightroom desktop shortcut (and a small pop-up dialog box should ask you if you want to install it).
On a Mac, juicebox_pro.lrwebengine is seen as a special package and you should be able to install the web engine by double-clicking the juicebox_pro.lrwebengine package. (Please note that this double-click method does not work on a Windows PC.)

(3) If the auto-install methods from #2 above do not work, then you can install the web engine manually by copying and pasting the complete juicebox_pro.lrwebengine folder/package (not just its contents) into the following location:
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\
On a Windows PC, you might need to show hidden files to navigate to this location in Windows File Explorer.

If you cannot find Lightroom's 'Web Galleries' folder on your computer, then please try the following:

  • Open Lightroom.

  • Go to 'Edit -> Preferences...' (from the drop-down menu at the top).

  • Select the 'Presets' tab.

  • Click the 'Show Lightroom Presets Folder...' button.

  • Navigate inside the 'Lightroom' folder in the file explorer window that pops up.

  • Now navigate inside the 'Web Galleries' folder. (If the 'Web Galleries' folder does not already exist inside the 'Lightroom' folder, then you'll need to create it manually.)

Now, paste the juicebox_pro.lrwebengine folder/package directly inside the 'Web Galleries' folder (overwriting any existing juicebox_pro.lrwebengine folder/package).

Before attempting the manual method, try deleting any existing juicebox_pro.lrwebengine folder/package from the 'Web Galleries' folder and re-try the auto-install method for your platform (Windows PC or Mac).

(I realise that you use a Windows PC but I've included some Mac details above, too, as it may help other users facing a similar problem.)

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your quick answer!

You're welcome!

One last question: can I go with the home button ( in the pro version) back to any page I want of my site or only to the index?

You can point the Back Button towards any URL you like via the backButtonUrl configuration option (the URL does not even need to be within your site).
The path for the backButtonUrl can be relative (to the web page containing the gallery's embedding code) or absolute (in the form 'http://www.example.com/gallery/index.html')

And with the galleries I use now it is possible to insert more than one button, so that you can go back to different pages of my site or is that not possible?

The Back Button is the easiest way to include a link in a gallery (and the only dedicated feature available to do so).
You can, however, use the Gallery Title as a link and you can also include links in 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?

It sounds like you might want to have links alongside the gallery (pointing towards other pages within your site).
If so, then you might like to take a look at another of our products, Showkase, which allows you to create a complete portfolio website including Juicebox gallery pages and non-gallery pages (where you can add whatever content you like). Every Showkase site features an automatically-generated navigation menu (with links to all pages within the site).

Showkase is a PHP web application which in installed on your web server and whose interface is accessed via a web browser.
Showkase has full support for Juicebox-Pro and the galleries can be created within the application itself via its interface (or created with JuiceboxBuilder 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.

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) 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).

I hope you find this information useful.

Can i easilly integratie the galeries into this site: www.ppphoto.nl
So that i easilly can go back to other buttons in my site?

Yes. Your current site links directly to full-browser gallery pages with a 'Home' button in each gallery to return to your main page.
You could certainly replicate this setup with Juicebox. You could link directly to full-browser Juicebox gallery pages and Juicebox-Pro features a Back Button which you can configure to link to whatever web page you like.
Check out the Pro Full Browser gallery on the Juicebox-Pro Demos page which is a full page gallery which features the Back Button (the icon in the top left of the gallery).
You can configure the Back Button using the available Back Button options (for example you can use the 'home' icon or custom text).

Alternatively, you can embed Juicebox galleries within existing web pages (alongside other content) by following the embedding instructions here.

It should work on the browser of windows 10

Juicebox galleries can be viewed in any modern browser (Edge, Chrome, Firefox, IE8+, Opera, Safari).
Please see the System Requirements for more details (and check out the demo galleries in your browsers).

i want to use it as a LRvpluginn.

There is a Lightroom plugin available to allow you to create Juicebox galleries with Lightroom.
The Lightroom plugin comes bundled within the Juicebox-Lite and Juicebox-Pro zip packages.
Instructions for installing and using the Lightroom plugin can be found on the plugin's support page here.

You can download Juicebox-Lite (and then try out the Juicebox-Lite Lightroom plugin) from the Download Page. (Please note that the Back Button is not available in Juicebox-Lite and is a feature of Juicebox-Pro only.)
You can also build galleries using JuiceboxBuilder (the standalone desktop application we provide), if you like.

I hope this helps to clarify things for you.
If you have any further queries, please let me know and I'll do my best to answer them for you.

I'll try the work around you have suggested.

The workaround should work fine. I tested it myself before posting it. Hopefully it will be a suitable solution for you.

When I open my gallery structure I notice that there is index.html...index2.html up to index6.html. Is it just the index.html that I need to change?

That's strange. When creating an album with the Juicebox skin, there should be only one 'index.html' file (in the root output directory). The skin should not generate additional index pages (like 'index2.html', 'index3.html', etc.). Such files are usually generated by skins that do not display all images on a single page and split the images over a number of different pages. I'm wondering if maybe your additional index pages are remnants of having made an album with a different skin before switching to Juicebox (and are actually redundant and do not play a part in the Juicebox album). Otherwise, I'm really not sure what settings would cause the Juicebox skin to generate more than one index page.
In any case, it is the 'index.html' file in the root output directory that you should add the code to (or the skin's template 'index.htt' file if you want the code to automatically be included in all albums made by the skin).

Your embedding code looks like it should work fine as long as the following points are followed:

(1) Make sure that you load the 'juicebox.js' file from one of your galleries into your web page (before the embedding code).
For example:

<script src="netting1/jbcore/juicebox.js"></script>

(2) The baseUrl paths are relative (to the web page containing the embedding code) so make sure that you have uploaded your 'netting1' and 'netting2' gallery folders (the complete folders, not just the contents) to the directory that contains the gallery's embedding page.

I hope these notes help.
However, if you continue to experience difficulties, please post back with the URL to your web page so that I can take a look at the problem for myself.
Once I'm able to see the problem live on your web server, I should hopefully be able to determine the cause of the problem and propose a solution.
Thank you.

When setting enableDirectLinks="TRUE" (in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro's 'Customize -> General' section), the unique links to individual images within a gallery are the gallery's URL with a # at the end, followed by a number (representing the image's position in the gallery).

For example, the direct link to the 7th image in a gallery might look something like this:
http://www.example.com/gallery/index.html#7

If you want to create a bulk list of direct links, you could copy and paste the gallery's URL into a plain text editor (as many times as there are images in your gallery) and just add #1, #2, #3, etc. to the end of the URLs.

Otherwise, you would write a script (in a programming language that you are familiar with) to do this for you.

Here is a quick example using JavaScript.
Just create a new HTML file from the code below (copy and paste it into a plain text editor and save the file with an .html file extension, e.g. "script.html") and open the file in a web browser.
Now enter your gallery's URL and the total number of images in your gallery into the input boxes and click the 'Submit' button.
A list of direct link URLs will be output to the browser window and you can then copy and paste the entire list to wherever you like.

The code is basic but functional. (It works fine but, for example, it does not catch user errors such as a non-numeric entry for the 'Image Total'.)

I hope this helps or at least points you in the right direction.
