Thanks Steven,  I did try entering the background color in the body tag and thought that because it didn't work that something in the program was stopping it. I looked back at my file and saw that I had entered it incorrectly.

I just noticed a problem with the final screen after changing the color scheme from white to a dark grey. The width of the screen shows 100% the new background color but on height the bottom 10% stays white.

When checking the gallery screen on several different sized laptops  the main image overlapped the bottom so I changed imagescalemode from none to scale_down and then added padding to the image. In searching about the use of scale and scale_down I came across a post you had replied to https://juicebox.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1771
in which you had said "Set your gallery's dimensions to be percentages (rather than fixed pixel values) and ensure that all your gallery's parent containers also have percentage dimensions." Can I asume that Juicebox always uses % unless I specifically change to pixels?

Thanks that should make it easier when I upload the files.

I have been creating a website on a local PC

I used a link back to the gallery directory in the backbutton url. I used the format directoryname/gallery.html and when tested it indicates page not located. I was able to get it to work by using file:///C:/directoryname/index.htm

So when I upload this to our website it will be in the main directory and the gallery file folder will be in a sub directory. So do I just change the xml file to enter in place of  file:///C:/directoryname/index.htm the following; maindirectory/gallery1 ?

Sorry my post today confused things. Everything is now good.  Solved and happy.

Thanks Steven, I had done what you indicated but the outcome was not correct.

Using your example it works perfectly.

Thanks for the explanation on presets and caption height.

I am having a problem understanding how to deal with the example of wrapping the gallery in a parent container.

Do I incorporate that into the index.html file juicebox creates?

As an example this is my index file what do I need to do to get that gallery into the wrapper?

Sorry for my lack of knowledge on this.

Have been creating many Galleries to see what appeals to my wife for her site and have some questions that I cannot get answered with my search.

I am trying to get a handle on just what the presets are. It appears they just provide a starting point using different criteria but that you could start with almost any of them and make adjustments that would create any of the presets, is that correct or is there anything in some of the presets that cannot be achieved without using a specific preset?

Can you tell me just what Max caption height does? Changing this sometimes keeps the caption if 2 lines readable.

Some galleries I have made using thumbs right would look better if there was more space on the right side of the thumbs. I found that by putting the thumbs Nav arrow there but not needing it gave a bit more edge space. Is it possible to get more space? A work around seems to be to set the width at say 90% which if using a white background works to accomplish that but this will not work with a color other than white. I also see that if you use say 90% the web page defaults to the left. Is there any adjustments that would center the page?

Thanks once again.

I have purchased the pro license and will play around with it. I am sure to have more questions but will open a new topic if needed in the pro forum

Looking at the Juicebox-pro demos I notice http://www.juicebox.net/demos/pro/top/#1 and http://www.juicebox.net/demos/pro/simple/

Is it possible to make adjustments to these galleries? For example the pro top has the thumbs on the right and on my screen uses only the left half of the screen not centred or using full screen. Can the thumbs be on the left and can the gallery comprise the whole screen? The simple gallery leaves a lot of space between the thumbs and the main image which seems small, again are these spaces and size adjustable?

Thanks for the additional info. I think we are going to purchase the ShowKase - Pro.

I have installed the test folder sktest and ran the tests. It indicated the basic PHP was fine but the file handling test showed numerous errors. I contacted mt Website host and they dis something and the tests all then performed okay. This is what they told me

"Those settings tend to be top-down, inherited from the main subfolder. We've done a recursive reset, and the test script comes up with everything passing. It may need to be like that for the initial install, and afterward probably will not require everything to be that way. We can reset things post-install if need be."

I assume from this that after I instal ShowKase something may again need to be reset but then the program should work fine. I assume the actual website files when created should run fine.

Can the program be used to also run a separate site on the same server or are you only allowed one installation?

How does the program deal with security? Once Showcase is installed is there a password system to ensure someone else cannot access the program, make changes and publish?

Thanks again for all your assistance.

Thanks for all the  help Steven appreciate your detailed responses.

I may be little confused as to the difference between Juicebox-pro and Showkase.

For example the demo sites shown  such as the Sarah Lee site on ShowKase seem to be all made using Juicebox-pro and created from a browser linking to the website.

Can Sarah lee template be created on local PC for upload using Juicebox-pro.

Does using Juicebox-pro give more flexibilty in designing a website than ShowKase which is limited to 3 themes.

On the Paul Bica template the listing of links to galleries etc. is on the left. It shows four. I assume the list could contain more, is the number limited to what would look okay on the page?

Are the fonts that are used on the Showkase theme builds interchangeable? Can you upload special fonts that the program will use?

If I decide to completely change the theme from say Kosel to Boma can that be done.

Is there any ability using Showkase to alter the visual theme. For example on the index home page and other pages can the name be placed by an image or is the Sarah lee only changeable by font?

Will the Showkase program work on any hosted site? We are with https://hostmatters.com/

Lastly if I started by purchasing Juicebox-pro and then decided I wanted the simplicity of Showkase do I just pay for the standard license and use my Juicebox-pro license with it?

Does http://www.juicebox.net/demos/support/r … /gallery1/ require pro or can it be produced in the lite version?

The galleries on this demo page are Juicebox-Lite galleries but there is no automated way to create such a web page with either Juicebox-Lite or Juicebox-Pro. You would need to download the files used to create the web page and modify them to suit your own needs.

If I wanted to test these files how do I get them.

Thanks

Thanks for the detailed response.

After reviewing demos and reading your material several more questions please.

Juicebox-lite indicates multiple galleries are possible. To produce this do you need to link to the galleries from a separate web page and is the gallery then embedded and if so can the size be adjusted? Does http://www.juicebox.net/demos/support/r … /gallery1/ require pro or can it be produced in the lite version?

After producing and testing on local PC is anything other than the juicebox folder  required on web site to  publish?

Is this site http://raymondprins.com/travel/greece/ an example of multiple gallleries using Juicebox-lite?

With ShowKase do you put the program on your web site and do all changes and build their?

I am looking for a solution to allow me to revamp my wife's website artbyjudy.com and noticed this site
http://stanwenocurart.com/abstract-work/

Is this possible using Juicebox-lite Is it possible to try it to see if I like it.

I certainly have no problem spending to buy the full license even the Showkase license if I find I like the results.

Also is Showkase easier to use? What are the differences between Juicebox and Showkase?

Can you show me links to other visual artist sites using your products?
