Checked it all and finally got it to work. It's a pain to clear the cache in chrome. My bad.

Oh, and is it possible to control the text font?

Yes. Use the galleryFontFace configuration option (in the 'Customize -> General' section of JuiceboxBuilder-Pro).

Where can I find that in my already built gallery? (IOW I don't want to have to rebuild the gallery). Is it possible?

And I would like to add an image <a href> to the lower right of the main gallery image. Is this also possible?

And finally, it does not display in IE correctly for my client. There is a huge space between the caption and the main image. It works in seamonkey, safari, opera, firefox and chrome, but IE doesn't render:

I am going to try setting the overflows to 'scroll' and see if that'll help.

That may have helped (at least I can scroll Windows 7 IE to see the main image). It also helped to up the screen resolution from 800. Now all I have to do is explain to the client why it looks bad on their computer :-0

Thanks for your patience in all this.

You need to increase your gallery's maxCaptionHeight (from 50 to perhaps 100) to allow more space for the captions to be displayed.

Tried that without joy. Set it to 200 and got nada.

Tried removing info from title and then the caption showed. The other titles were unchanged and displayed. It's like it's an exclusive or - either title or caption but not both. I'd like to have both, centered, with title on top and caption below. Is there a way to do that?

Dear JB Support,

On to another problem: I am trying to enter caption data in the config file and it doesn't show. Is there a setting I am missing?

I have just viewed your gallery in 5 different browsers (none of which have previously displayed your web page or cached any of your images) and your thumbnails displayed with no problem in all 5.

Yes, it seems to work ok in safari, firefox, opera and seamonkey. It just does it in Chrome AFAIK.

Well thanks for all your efforts. I'm off to try and fix it all.

Got them all taken care of except for 2 odd things. Everything now works, except you have to click the mouse button somewhere on the page before you can get the spacebar to work and often on first opening the page the thumbs won't load. When the page loads you can hit the spacebar to your heart's content and nothing seems to happen. You have to click someplace on the page to get it to run and the thumbs to load.

Try fixing the HTML errors on your http://www.frontiernet.net/~debartsserv … rgallery2/ page. You can check the validity of your code with the W3C Markup Validation Service.
Using the original code I posted above (without the 'z-index' value) seems to work OK for me. I repositioned the message so that it was on top of the image area and the message was not obscured by the gallery as it loaded.

OK, did that, but most of the remaining errors are from juicebox noscript area. Still not sure where you placed #message to get it to show.

Wouldn't it be easier to simply delay loading the gallery until after the msg fades?

Try using a high 'z-index' value for the message <div> so that it is stacked on top of all other elements on your web page, e.g.:

#message {
    z-index: 9999;
}

Thanks, but that didn't help. I can see the title image and the spacebar message briefly (http://www.frontiernet.net/~debartsservices/sfrgallery2) before the jb gallery loads over them. It still seems to have intermittent captions too even tho I changed the caption to "bottom".

The gallery that seems to work is (http://www.frontiernet.net/~debartsservices/sfrgallery). I may try and use the one that works and see if I can get the spacebar message to work there.

OK, I tried that and I can get the main image to load and the spacebar message displays, but then is immediately overwritten by the gallery load. All I need to do now is delay the gallery load until after the timeout.

Is there a way to add an <hr> between thumbs and image?

No. Introducing a new element with a finite height would likely displace other elements within the gallery.

I also wanted the caption between the thumbnails (on top) and the main image (on bottom) but when I do that they only intermittently appeared. Using thumbsPosition="TOP" and captionPosition="BELOW_THUMBS" should work OK (though you may need to change the default value for the maxCaptionHeight configuration option).

I tried all kinds of maxcapheight values, but it was difficult not knowing whether these were relative or absolute and where it was measured from.

If your captions display only intermittently, please post the URL to your gallery so that I can take a look.

I will post a 2nd gallery so that you can see what happens when I do that. The working gallery I have is at:

http://www.frontiernet.net/~debartsservices/sfrgallery/

The only problem I had was in checking it with an android tablet the first image came up large and covering the whole left side of the screen while the rest of the page looked normal and worked normally too with the autoplay working away behind the large first image.

Also, is there a way to subtly hint that autoplay is available? I am thinking maybe some kinda of timer with a notice "Use spacebar to autoplay gallery images" for a few seconds before loading in the gallery?

There are many ways in which this could be achieved.
Here is a simple example (using jQuery) which displays a message and automatically fades it out after 5 seconds.

Great. I'll give it a try on the 2nd gallery which I will put at:

http://www.frontiernet.net/~debartsservices/sfrgallery2

It actually works. I have an image I would like to have at the page top that I can't get it to show. I also redid the captionPosition="below_thumbs" to show you what happens if I do that (it also messes with the spacebar notice).


Let me know what you think.

Is there a way to add an <hr> between thumbs and image? I also wanted the caption between the thumbnails (on top) and the main image (on bottom) but when I do that they only intermittently appeared. I ended up with them on bottom, but had to use a hard background on them and so end up truncating the main image.

Also, is there a way to subtly hint that autoplay is available? I am thinking maybe some kinda of timer with a notice "Use spacebar to autoplay gallery images" for a few seconds before loading in the gallery?

Any ideas appreciated!

You can set the thumbnail dimensions on the 'Images' tab of JuiceboxBuilder-Pro and the application will set the thumbWidth and thumbHeight values in the gallery's XML file accordingly.
However, all the thumbnails will share the same dimensions. This cannot be changed.

Sounds like a needed feature. It is a lot of work redoing thumbnails to reflect the actual image.

I am trying to get JBPro to display thumbs as I have them saved. Some are 100X75 and some are 75X100. Nothing I seem to do alters the display. I know the xml gives thumbs width and height, but that is forced on all images. I don't want to have to pad images with space to get them to display correctly, the whole image. The images are about equally divided between vertical and horizontal. Anyone have any ideas?

Juicebox counts the number of <image> entries in your gallery's XML file. There is no counter to set.
If you do not see the new images in your gallery when you view it in your browser, please see this FAQ:

Dohhh, it had nothing to do with my way of adding images or cache. It had to do with me accidentally adding a line of code that shouldn't have been there. It made the changes invisible.

I know it is probably easier to just redo my Gallery, but I tried to add 4 photos into my Gallery. I put the large images in Images and the small 85x85 into the thumbs and modified the xml adding four new <image></image> with captions. I looked all over trying to find where the gallery counter is located, but nada. I think it's in the .js file. But until I change that counter nothing shows. Is there any easy way to update the counter? Or is the easy way just to redo the whole gallery?
