I'm glad you've got the ability to preview your galleries locally working.

The Filezilla problem is probably something that you might need to work out with your web host.
A Juicebox gallery's files are really just regular files that you might find on any web site (HTML, JavaScript, CSS image and font files) and there really shouldn't be any difficulty in uploading them to a web hosting account's web space.
Your web host should be able to help you out with this.

Incidentally, Juicebox galleries do not use a database at all so it'll not have anything to do with any databases that you might have set up on your hosting account.

Does Filezilla give any indication as to the nature of the failure (maybe an error code or a more detailed description of the reason for the failure) that might point us in the right direction?

You're gallery's XML file looks fine (no errors).

The information in the FAQ (https://www.juicebox.net/support/faq/#local) is still relevant and should work OK.
It is important to note that you can only preview galleries locally (from your computer's hard drive) in Firefox or Safari and only after changing the setting noted in the FAQ.
It is not possible to preview galleries locally in any other browser.

Please let me know what browser (and version number) you are using and please confirm that you have changed the relevant setting in your browser's configuration options.

This only applies to previewing galleries locally. There is no issue once the galleries have been uploaded to a web server where they can be viewed in any modern browser without any settings needing to be changed.

If you have uploaded a gallery to a web server and still see the 'Config file not found.' error message, then please post a link to the dysfunctional gallery so that I can see the problem for myself.
Once I can see the problem live on your web server, I should be able to determine the exact cause of the problem and propose a solution.
Thank you.

(The easiest way to upload and view a gallery is to upload the entire gallery folder to your web server (with an FTP program such as Filezilla) and then open the 'index.html' page (inside the gallery folder) in a browser.)

You're welcome. Thanks for the update!
Of course, I should have read back and realised that you were running JuiceboxBulder-Lite so the AIR and Rosetta tips were not required.
I hope all goes well with Juicebox-Pro and your project.

Link sent.
Many apologies for the delay. I hope you get on well with Juicebox-Pro.

Here are a couple of tips in case you encounter any issues out-of-the-gate.

#1 Be sure to use AIR v33.1.1.744. See here for details: https://juicebox.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5318

#2 If you have a Mac with M1 or M2 hardware, you may need to run JuiceboxBuilder-Pro with Rosetta: https://juicebox.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5289

Sorry, once again, for the delay in processing your purchase.

Loading the AIR v33.1.1.744 version  it worked , I could build my gallery.

That's great! Thank you for letting me know.

I have a grey screen with the message "Juicebox Error: Config file not found".

Please see this FAQ for an explanation and workaround: https://www.juicebox.net/support/faq/#local

I cannot either load it with filezilla  as it says "no file directory found "

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Please explain this problem in more detail and I'll do my best to help you out.
Thank you.

I'm really sorry. I've not heard back from my colleague yet. I emailed him on a personal email address (so he'll definitely receive my message) and he has access to the company PayPal account (so should be able to see your transaction) so when I do hear back, it should be with positive news.
I hope you understand that I can't send out a link at the moment as I have no way of confirming that the payment has reached us.
I know it must be very frustrating for you. It's also frustrating for me. I'd love to help but my hands are tied at the moment. I'm having to rely on someone else to help resolve the problem, just like yourself.
I've sent my colleague another email marked urgent.
Fingers crossed I can resolve this for you soon.
Thanks again for your patience.

I'm still waiting on the confirmation email from my colleague but I'm ready to get the link to you as soon as I can.
Thanks for hanging on.

Thank you for purchasing Juicebox-Pro.
I'm very sorry that you've not received your download link yet.

I've contacted a colleague who has access to the company PayPal account and as soon as I receive confirmation that the payment has been received, I'll issue you a link ASAP.

Thank you also for noting the problem with the contact@simpleviewer.net email address.
I'll point this out to the admin team who will be able to change it.

I'll likely be forwarded your support email in due course so I'll probably be in touch again soon.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding.

Hello.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having difficulty with JuiceboxBuilder-Pro.
I replied to your support query a couple of days ago. Please let me know if you did not receive it and I'll send it to you again.

The short version is as follows:
(1) Make sure that you are using AIR v33.1.1.744 and not AIR v33.1.1.932 (as noted here).
(2) After installing JuiceboxBuilder-Pro, run the application using Rosetta (as noted here).

If this does not help, then there are further troubleshooting tips in this forum post and more information regarding unresponsive 'New Gallery' and 'Open Gallery' buttons in this forum post.

I hope these links help you to resolve your problem.
However, if you continue to experience difficulties, then please post back and let me know:
(1) which version of AIR you are using
(2) if you are able to launch JuiceboxBuilder-Pro using Rosetta
(3) what suggestions you have tried from the forum posts I linked to above

Thank you.

I'm glad you've got it working. Thank you for letting me know.

If I view the 'config.xml file of the working gallery directly in a browser (https://usafach.s3.amazonaws.com/m/albu … config.xml), I see the XML code (as expected).
However, if I try to view the 'config.xml' file of the non-working gallery directly in a browser (https://usafach.s3.amazonaws.com/m/albu … config.xml), I see an 'Access Denied' message.

It looks like the permissions of the 'config.xml' file might be too restrictive.
Check the permissions of the 'config.xml' file (using an FTP program such as Filezila or via your hosting account's online file manager) . Default file permissions of 644 should be fine.

I hope this helps.

First of all, please make sure that you are using the latest version of AIR with WebKit support (AIR v33.1.1.744) and not the very latest version (AIR v33.1.1.932) which does not include WebKit support.
You can download AIR v33.1.1.744 from the AIR download page here: https://airsdk.harman.com/runtime
Please see this forum thread for more details on this issue.

If you have a Mac with M1 or M2 hardware, you may need to open JuiceboxBuilder-Pro using Rosetta.
This is noted as a Known Issue on the AIR download page (link above) and it's also mentioned here in our forum.

Also, this forum post has several troubleshooting tips which might help.

If you continue to experience difficulties, then please post back with further details of your problem...

  • What operating system do you use (Mac vs PC)?

  • How far into the installation process do you get and what error messages (if any) do you encounter?

With a little more information, I should hopefully be able to help further.
Thank you.

Edit:
[Problem resolved. Confirmed via email.]

Please see this sticky forum post for information on the problem you describe (live preview obscuring content) and a solution. (The solution is to use AIR v33.1.1.744, available on the AIR runtime download page.)

Thank you very much for the report.
That's great to hear and I'm most grateful for the information. Cheers!

That's great! Thanks for letting me know.

I've just tried out the latest AIR runtime from Harman (v33.1.1.932) and I can now replicate your problem.

Use the latest AIR runtime with WebKit support (WebKit is the embedded browser that JuiceboxBuilder uses for the gallery's live preview on the Customize tab) and this should solve your problem. (Please see the links in my previous post.)

Be sure to uninstall AIR v33.1.1.932 first before installing AIR v33.1.1.744.

Hello.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having difficulty with JuiceboxBuilder-Lite.
The problem that you describe seems very strange and not something that I've ever seen myself or, as far as I can recall, something that has ever been reported before.

First of all, could you please confirm the following:

  • What version of JuiceboxBuilder-Lite are you using ('Help -> About JuiceboxBuilder...')?

  • What version of AIR are you using?

  • What operating system (Mac vs PC) and version number are you using?

I do not know if the information above will help in troubleshooting but as I've never heard of this problem before, the more information we can gather about it, the better.

Things to check/try:

(1) Make sure that you are using the latest version of JuiceboxBuilder-Lite (v1.5.1): https://www.juicebox.net/download/

(2) Make sure that you are using the latest version of AIR which includes WebKit support (v33.1.1.744). You can download AIR v33.1.1.744 from the foot of the AIR runtime download page here: https://airsdk.harman.com/assets/downlo … obeAIR.exe
Direct links:
Mac: https://airsdk.harman.com/assets/downlo … obeAIR.dmg
Windows: https://airsdk.harman.com/assets/downlo … obeAIR.exe

(3) Make sure that your system's graphics drivers are up-to-date.

(4) Does the problem happen every time you use the application or just sometimes?

(5) Does the problem happen with local image galleries and Flickr image galleries (or just one or the other)?

(6) Have you tried using images from a different source to see if it happens with all images (or maybe just images from a particular source)?

Also, it might help if I'm able to see the problem for myself. As I can't replicate the problem on my own system, perhaps you could upload some screenshots which demonstrate the problem. You could either attach them to a post here in the forum or upload them somewhere (for example, your website or a file sharing service such as Dropbox or Google Drive) and provide a link.

Sorry about all the questions but in all the years I've been supporting and using JuiceboxBuilder-Lite, I don't recall ever having encountered this problem before.
Hopefully, with a little more information, we can get to the bottom of this.
Thank you.

It looks like you are using the regular embedding code (https://www.juicebox.net/support/embedd … -html-page) so your gallery's 'jbcore' folder should be in the same directory as the embedding page ('pumpkin-gallery-jb.html').

Therefore, your gallery's 'juicebox.js' file should be located here: http://www.pumpkingutter.com/jbcore/juicebox.js
However, going directly to that location in a browser results in an error 404 (file not found).

Upload your gallery's 'jbcore' folder to your root directory (alongside your 'pumpkin-gallery-jb.html' web page) and your gallery should display as expected.

Please let me know how you get on.
Thanks.

(Incidentally, I see a white screen in my desktop browser, too. It's the same problem, though, so the solution above should allow the gallery to be displayed in all browsers.)

The problem occurs because your gallery has a fixed size and shape (a fixed aspect ratio) but your images are of different shapes and sizes and, when using the default imageScaleMode (SCALE_DOWN), the images are scaled to fit within the gallery without cropping but if the images do not have exactly the same aspect ratio as that of the gallery itself, then there will be some space surrounding the images in the gallery (either to the left and right or the top and bottom, depending on the image's aspect ratio). The space surrounding the images will show up as the gallery's background color.

The solution would be to give your gallery a fully transparent background color (rather than the default grey color) so that the space surrounding the images is not visible.

In your gallery's embedding code on your 'chboxtester.html' page, change:

backgroundColor: 'rgba(34,34,34,1)'

... to

backgroundColor: 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)'

This should hopefully resolve your problem.

Incidentally, I notice that you do have a solid white backgroundColor set in your gallery's 'config.xml' file (which would also work as as it would invisibly blend in with your embedding page's background color which is also white) but configuration options set in the gallery's embedding code take precedence over configuration options set in the 'config.xml' file (as noted in the short Setting Config Options support section) and you still have the default grey backgroundColor set in the embedding code.

Harman has just released new AIR runtimes with WebKit support (AIR v33.1.1.744).
You can find download links at the foot of their AIR runtime download page here: https://airsdk.harman.com/runtime

I haven't noticed much slowness...

That's good to hear.

... the real long-term (and expensive!) fix would be to rewrite JBPro to work natively with the M1 Macs — and with M2 ones too.

Indeed. I'll bounce some ideas off the decision makers. I don't know where it'll go but I'll be sure to post back here if I have any news on the subject.
