@Steven - thanks for the prompt reply. I've come up with a workaround.

I'm embedding the Juicebox into a page, so I've included the necessary styles into a custom.css file which is loaded with the pages and used !important to ensure that Juicebox's styles don't override them. Clumsy, but it's working.

Can I add another feature request. The nature of my galleries is that the thumbnails aren't self-explanatory and it would be very useful to be able to have a brief caption for each to be able to see at a glance what they are.

I'd second the suggestion earlier to have title/caption text attributes (font, size, weight, line-spacing etc) settable in the options.

I need to regenerate a gallery on a regular basis, including varying other parameters, but when it comes to title/caption text I then have to go into the CSS each time and make a number of changes each time in order to match the site style.

Steven - thanks for a very comprehensive and prompt reply. I'll take a closer look and use the information to see what I can do.

I am developing several old-photo archive galleries with JuiceboxBuilder-Pro, and there's a lot of visitor interaction involved to identify subjects and/or locations. With as many as a dozen changes a day, I have a couple of suggestions

1: In the Images section, it would be very helpful to have some indication of each image's filename or title, preferably as a caption (underneath or overlaid) - or provide an Explorer-style details view of the image gallery. This would make searching for a particular image very much easier.

2: In the Publish section, it would make a lot of sense to be able to FTP the resulting changes straight to the server (with the option of which files are to be transferred). This would certainly improve workflow efficiency by a significant amount.

3: I don't use the offered embedded code as it results in a web page that takes an eternity to load when there's no JS as the whole gallery has to load (which can be >40Mbytes, and most of my visitors have limited internet speeds). Instead, I either offer a link to the non-JS page or a warning that JS is required. It struck me that it would be useful to be able to customise the embed code and save it (I'd actually love to be able to customise it to provide a thumbnail gallery with direct links to the photos).

4: I would love to be able to have non-published notes associated with each image. I've written an external program to read the XML file and keep a separate database of notes, but having that integrated with JuiceBox would be a nice-to-have.

5: Visitors are complaining bitterly that they're unable to access the full image to download as the images have no Save Image As option (there's no problem with this as far as I'm concerned). It would be lovely to have "download" as an option button.

Thanks

I'm planning a section of one of my sites that will include a gallery of photos, and Juicebox seems the smoothest of the packages around. But there's one feature that will be essential, and that's the ability to receive comments and have a limited discussion on each individual photo (they're historical photos and we'll be looking for feedback as to where they were taken).

Basically what I want is to be able to embed Juicebox into a page, and have the relevant comments/thread come up when a picture is selected. I'm sure it can be done via jscript and the Juicebox API.

I've spent ages searching, but have so far not found any ideas via Google - so, before I go and reinvent the wheel, I wondered if anyone had done such a thing. I'm not looking for a ready-made solution, just some basic ideas.

Many thanks in advance.
