OK, I think I've got to the bottom of it, and the answer, as you suggested, is to use absolute URL's for the config.xlm and theme.css files. The juicebox.js link doesn't care if the path is relative or absolute.

Here are the links, as shown in Chrome's Developers tools:

URL re-write off, relative paths - WORKS

http://stevemortonphotography.uk/juiceb … uicebox.js
http://stevemortonphotography.uk/juiceb … /theme.css
http://stevemortonphotography.uk/images … config.xml

URL re-write on, relative paths - FAILS

http://stevemortonphotography.uk/juiceb … uicebox.js
http://stevemortonphotography.uk/galler … /theme.css
http://stevemortonphotography.uk/galler … config.xml

URL re-write on, theme url absolute, others relative - FAILS

http://stevemortonphotography.uk/juiceb … uicebox.js
http://stevemortonphotography.uk/juiceb … /theme.css
http://stevemortonphotography.uk/galler … config.xml

URL re-write on, theme and gallery url's absolute, jbcore relative - WORKS

http://stevemortonphotography.uk/juiceb … uicebox.js
http://stevemortonphotography.uk/juiceb … /theme.css
http://stevemortonphotography.uk/images … config.xml

The difference between the juicebox.js path and the others is that it is set up directly in the embed code in the page source, while the other two are (presumably!) passed through some of your code, as they are defined as part of the 'juicebox' structure, and are then getting re-written by Joomla.

I think the reason that absolute URL's didn't work when I first tried them was due to a typo, which I'd managed to copy and paste to each address - sorry about that.

I'm happy to live with the use of absolute URL's, and everything else seems to working very well, so, unless you want to dig into it further, you can consider this one solved.

Again, thanks for your time.

OK - some progress! Doing as you suggest, using the default setup, with a stock jbcore folder in the same folder as the images, and with the default theme loaded from the jbcore folder, it all works. I can start to change things to locate the problem now, and I'll let you know when I find the culprit.

Many thanks for your help.

Thanks very much for your response.

Changing the URL's to absolute paths was the first thing that I tried, and it made no difference.

The re-writing functionality is a core Joomla feature, and, as I understand it, uses the Apache  Mod-rewrite function. When it is turned off,  site links appear in the form "http://smpj3/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19:town-crier-competitiion&catid=12&Itemid=123", but when turned on, they look like "http://smpj3/galleries/12-events-albums/19-town-crier-competitiion" - presumably the latter is easier for the search engines to understand. (Note: smpj3 is my localhost site; the live site is stevemortonphotography.uk).

The option is applied site-wide, and I can find no way of preventing it being applied to specific pages.

Here is what I have found so far:
The jbcore Javascript is being run - the gallery container is created on the web page.
The link in the embed code to the gallery config.xml file seems to be correct - if I manually insert a link in the text on the page, I can display the confi.xml file.
I've tried using Chrome's Javascript console to see what is going on, but nothing is shown - is there any way that I can see what the JB code is actually doing?

If you would like to see the gallery pages, one is here :

http://stevemortonphotography.uk/index. … Itemid=123

At present, the SE friendly URL re-writing on this site is off - let me know if you want to take a look at the problem, and I'll turn it on, or I'm happy to give you administrator access to the backend of the site, if you wish, so that you can turn it on or off.

Finally, it isn't really a big deal for me - this is just a hobby site, and my query is mostly to satisfy my own curiosity!

Best wishes

I am using JB on a Joomla site here: stevemortonphotography.uk.
The galleries are embedded in Joomla articles, and a typical section of embedding code is:

<script src="juicebox/jbcore/juicebox.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">new juicebox({
baseUrl:"images/TownCriers/",
themeURL:"juicebox/jbcore/smp-theme/theme.css",
containerId: "juicebox-container",
galleryWidth: "75%",
galleryHeight: "75%",
backgroundColor: "rgba(64,64,64,1)"
});</script>
<div id="juicebox-container" class="jb-container">&nbsp;</div>
<!-- Image gallery content for non-javascript devices --><noscript><!-- Image gallery content for non-javascript devices --><noscript><h1>&nbsp;</h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img src="images/20190910_DSC5198.jpg" title="Town Crier 1" alt="" /><br>Town Crier 1 </p> <p><img src="images/20190910_DSC5199.jpg" title="Town Crier 2" alt="" /><br>Town Crier 2 </p> <p><img src="images/20190910_DSC5200.jpg" title="Lady Town Crier" alt="" /><br>Lady Town Crier </p> <p><img src="images/20190910_DSC5201.jpg" title="Town Crier with Consort" alt="" /><br>Town Crier with Consort </p> <p><img src="images/20190910_DSC5203.jpg" title="Town Crier 3" alt="" /><br>Town Crier 3 </p> <p><img src="images/20190910_DSC5204.jpg" title="Town Crier Consort" alt="" /><br>Town Crier Consort </p> <p><img src="images/20190910_DSC5207.jpg" title="Town Crier 4" alt="" /><br>Town Crier 4 </p> <p><img src="images/20190910_DSC5210.jpg" title="Town Crier Consorts" alt="" /><br>Town Crier Consorts </p> <p><img src="images/20190910_DSC5211.jpg" title="Town Crier 5" alt="" /><br>Town Crier 5 </p> <p><img src="images/20190910_DSC5218.jpg" title="Lady Town Crier" alt="" /><br>Lady Town Crier </p></div></div><!--END JUICEBOX EMBED--></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></noscript></noscript></div>

Everything works well until I turn on Joomla's Search Engine Friendly URL's and URL Re-writing. This works normally on the whole site, but it seems as if JB can no longer find the galleries. It does seem to find the JBcore files, which are in their own folder, but not the gallery files.

Any ideas?

If you need administrator access to the site, e-mail me privately, and I will send you the details.
