I'm hoping you guys can eventually add cdn config option to the plugin.  This works but everytime the plugin is updated I have to re-edit the config.xml.

Great, that worked perfectly, thanks.  I don't guess it makes any difference that the audiourlmp3= url is added into the config.xml config options?  I assume it just ignores it since there isn't an actual mp3 file available.

Would you have a recommendation of a way to do the same type of thing this post was about but with the new plugin?

Please don't get quite so crazy with the z-index settings.  You set the jb-classifier-link-wrapper as z-index: 3000 inline and the touchnav areas a z-index 500.  This can cause problems with other parts of a site layout if something needs to overlay over the gallery like a menu.  It took me a while to troubleshoot.  Something more reasonable like z-index: 5 and 10 and in separate css instead of inline would be a lot better.

Even better, maybe this can be an option in the new plugin.  Thanks.

Awesome, that seems to have worked perfectly.  It makes it so the gallery can't be previewed in Lightroom but that really makes no difference at all.  Now if I make changes to a gallery I can directly ftp them to my website through Lightroom with no extra steps.  If you added some more options to the Lightroom plugin I think that would be a much better alternative to Juicebox builder for most photographers.  Thanks for the help.

Thanks, I actually thought of that and tried it.  The problem is each gallery has a relative path.  In the config.xml it's always just images/...  But I actually have each gallery in a different directory on the site, so the actual path would be like //cdn.ryansmithphotography.com/juicebox/weddings/images/....  So if I just change the template file it would just end up with the links to //cdn.ryansmithphotography.com/images/...   I really couldn't think of a way to do it except for a find and replace in the xml unless you have any other suggestions.  Thanks for the help.

I'm exporting galleries from Lightroom and it works correctly.  I'd like the images to be loaded from my cdn.  I would have to replace the relative url with //cdn.ryansmithphotography.com for each image in the xml.  I could do a find and replace in the xml file, but that would be a pain each time I change the gallery.  Would you have any suggestions for a better way?

I've been having the same issue, but I was also using Chrome 36.  I'll try another browser and see.

I checked out the API a while back and couldn't find any other sizes.  However Flickr creates a number of different sizes such as Large 1600 and Large 2048 that can be accessed from it's interface for downloading an image, I'll copy these below.  I was wondering if there was some undocumented way to get at these, it seems like since they are creating them they would have some way. 


Small 320 (320 x 211)
Medium 500 (500 x 330)
Medium 640 (640 x 422)
Medium 800 (800 x 527)
Large 1024 (1024 x 675)
Large 1600 (1600 x 1054)
Large 2048 (2048 x 1350)
Original (4000 x 2636)

Is there any way with Flickr to use their newer image sizes between large and original.  I looked through the API but couldn't figure it out.  Let me know if this is possible, thanks.

If using the full screen gallery button in IE, because of my transparent gallery background, the gallery drops behind the page header when in full screen mode.  If I use a solid white background, the background of the juicebox div seems to cover up the page header so it looks correct.  Do you have any suggestions for how to get a gallery with a transparent background color working in full screen.  You can see the issue here http://www.myrtlebeachphotography.org/wedding_main.php

I think your confused if you think changing the dpi will do anything.   It's all about resolution, dpi is for printing.  A 1024x768 is always that, you would have to use a double resolution image if you want to support retina.

I haven't removed any version numbers that I'm aware of. I'm using the latest version of Jucebox Pro.  I also haven't modified the css.  I'm using the Cloudflare service, it's possible it's automatically removing comments and line breaks automatically, but nothing is modified myself.  This issue should be seen with any Android device running the latest version of the Chrome (not the older browser) for Android, I'd be surprised if you didn't see it on whatever Android testing device you have.

This might not be something that you can help with the way touch support works.  But there are some issues with the way the iPad detects dragging the page vs the gallery.  If the gallery is embedded and takes up 100% width and height, sometimes it will detect an up and down drag as moving the page, and sometimes it will get stuck and just try to drag the image left and right.  It's just buggy, it can take a few tries to get an up and down page scroll to work.  Would there be any way to adjust the behavior to be less sensitive, to detect a page drag unless a large left or right swipe motion is made on a gallery image.  Or perhaps disable swiping on the gallery all together.

It's Chrome 26.0.1410.58 on Android 4.2.2 Nexus 4.  It seems to happen with any gallery, but you can check mine at http://www.myrtlebeachphotography.org/wedding_main.php.  It's a issue where Chrome highlights the touch zones on the left and right.  It should be easy to see.

I don't know if the Flickr api supports this, but would there be any way to use some of the newer Flickr sizes besides just medium, large and original.  Flickr has a large 1600 and large 2048 size, would there be a way to select for those sizes to be loaded.

And while I'm posting, I'll ask here about a bug I notice in Chrome on Android.  If you touch the gallery, on iOS it will show or hide the controls, but on Android it turns half of the image with a blue overlay.  I assume highlighting the touch areas on the right and left.

I found a 1.2 jbcore to get everything working again. I guess I'll have to wait until this new version is tested a bit more.

I deleted my old jbcore of 1.2 that was working perfectly, 1.3 doesn't work at all for me.  I can't find my copy of 1.2 core folder so I can't go back.  The gallery doesn't even begin to load with Jquery 1.9.1, if I disable that it tries to load but with just a spinning icon, the pictures never show up.  I really need some help quick, my website galleries were all running off of a single jbcore, so none of them work now.

It sounds like there is really no easy way to do this. Maybe it can be in the next version, because I would think this would be a very important feature now that so many displays are going highdpi.  Especially ones photographers would be using.

I don't know exactly how Juicebox is pulling the images from Flickr. I tried looking at the Flickr API to see if there was a way to use the Large 2048 version of the image instead of just Large but couldn't figure it out.  Also, I believe even if you had juicebox use the original size image, which is very slow, Juicebox would need to use scale_down or the image wouldn't fit the gallery and I don't think that after Juicebox scaling it would show more resolution on the Retina display.  I know if you scale an image to 50% using css that it will show full resolution on retina displays.  Let me know if that is incorrect.  So I think if there was a way to pull in the Large 2048 version of the images from Flickr, then scale them using css to fit the gallery that might work on high dpi displays.  But I don't know how to do this.  Thanks.

But I'd really like to serve just larger size images to retina displays but not all the time.  Is there any way to check for a high dpi display and serve a Large 2048 sizes for retina instead of the full size?

I'm trying to get my website updated for retina displays, and Juicebox is the only part that is not.  Is there a way to support retina displays with Juicebox or will there be a future update.  If it could pull the full size image from Flickr for retina that would work.
