Topic: More Support for Lightroom Please!!!

I've just bought Juicebox specifically to use with Lightroom. But... you just get Juicebox lite and you have to do the coding yourself. I'm not very happy about this - I want to spend my time being creative not learn how to move code around. Very disappointed this is not the product I wanted.

When are you going to upgrade the lightroom plugin to the pro version.............?

Re: More Support for Lightroom Please!!!

You can upgrade the Juicebox plugin for Lightroom from Juicebox-Lite to Juicebox-Pro (to remove the branding and the 50-image limit and to allow Pro configuration options to be used) by following the 'Upgrading to Juicebox-Pro' instructions on the plugin's web page.

As far as I am aware, there are no plans to introduce individual fields for every Pro configuration option in the plugin's interface but you can enter Pro options into the 'Pro Options' text area. Each option should be entered one per line in the format optionName="OPTION_VALUE". Use Ctrl-Enter to add a new line.

Otherwise, you can edit a gallery created by the plugin with JuiceboxBuilder-Pro (which has all Pro configuration options available in its interface).

The only products which have full support for all Juicebox-Pro configuration options in their interfaces are:
(1) JuiceboxBuilder-Pro (which comes with Juicebox-Pro)
(2) Showkase
(3) svManager

(None of the Juicebox plugins for third-party programs have individual fields for every Pro configuration option.)

Re: More Support for Lightroom Please!!!

Hi,

I've done all that - and it doesn't work, I just get a white spinning hexagon with a teardrop inside.......... and suggestions why? the code is simply:

optionName="galleryWidth: "100%"
optionName="galleryHeight: "100%"
optionName="backgroundColor: "rgba(204,204,204,.2)"

I've also just been using standalone juicebox - and so have just discovered that you cannot ftp from the software, so I need to add yet another step into my workflow, which now makes it very clunky - so that's not a good option for me either.

This just isn't working well for me :(

Re: More Support for Lightroom Please!!!

And i've just uploaded a gallery built in JB via an ftp programme and it doesn't work. I've uploaded everything in the gallery folder.

I'm not doing very well here, I don't know why.

I hope you can help, I feel that I'm wasting a lot of time here and am close to asking for my money back, surely it shouldn't be this difficult?

Re: More Support for Lightroom Please!!!

This is most likely to be due to an incorrectly formatted gallery XML file.

the code is simply:

optionName="galleryWidth: "100%"
optionName="galleryHeight: "100%"
optionName="backgroundColor: "rgba(204,204,204,.2)"

The Juicebox plugin for Lightroom automatically sets the gallery's width and height both to 100% (to display the gallery on a page of its own, filling the page) and it is not possible to change these values in the interface.
If you want a gallery with different dimensions, then you will likely be embedding the gallery in an existing web page alongside other content and should follow the embedding instructions here.
Also, the background color and opacity can be set in the interface (in the 'Color Palette' section) without the need to enter the values manually in the 'Pro Options' text area.
Other options should be entered into the text area in the form optionName="OPTION_VALUE" as in the following example:

captionPosition="BELOW_IMAGE"
showNavButtons="TRUE"

I've also just been using standalone juicebox - and so have just discovered that you cannot ftp from the software,

JuiceboxBuilder-Pro does not feature FTP capabilities but with a dedicated FTP program such as Filezilla (free), you can drag and drop a complete gallery folder into a location on your web server in a single action.

And i've just uploaded a gallery built in JB via an ftp programme and it doesn't work. I've uploaded everything in the gallery folder.

Please post the URL to your gallery so that I can take a look for myself and determine the cause of your problem.
In the meantime, perhaps the troubleshooting FAQs will help.

I don't know what I want - this was simply the code I copied from JB - in the hope that it would give me in Lightroom the gallery I had created in standalone JB

But I'm not a coder!! - how do I know what I need to put into the Lightroom box? - I just can't do it!! Why do you think I bought JB.....?!

URL is: janesharp.com/galleries/Sarah_Lamond_JB I noticed that JB did not create a index.html file - is that why?

Also, you should be more upfront about the lack of ftp - whilst you can build galleries you can't actually publish them.
Thanks for your prompt replies, hope you can help.

If you want to replicate the layout of a gallery created in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro in Lightroom, then, rather than enter configuration options into the Pro Options text area of the Lightoom plugin's interface, you could:
(1) Create a sample gallery the way you want it to look in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro.
(2) Save the settings as a preset ('Presets -> Save Preset...' from the drop-down menu at the top).
(3) Create your new gallery in Lightroom.
(4) Open the gallery (created in Lightroom) in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro and apply the preset to it ('Presets -> Load Preset...').
(5) Save the gallery on the 'Publish' tab.

how do I know what I need to put into the Lightroom box?

A list of all configuration options you can use can be found here.
Step #4 in the 'Upgrading to Juicebox-Pro' section on the Lightroom plugin's web page tells you how you should enter Pro Options into the Pro Options text area, for example:

captionPosition="BELOW_IMAGE"

URL is: janesharp.com/galleries/Sarah_Lamond_JB I noticed that JB did not create a index.html file - is that why?

JuiceboxBuilder-Pro and the Lightroom plugin always create an index page. This is the page into which the gallery is embedded. Without this, there is no embedding code and no way for the browser to display the gallery.
When using the Lightoom plugin, the index page is always named 'index.html'.
When using JuiceboxBuilder-Pro, you can change the name of the index page if you like (on the 'Publish' tab), although the default name for the file is 'index.html'. No matter what you call the file, there will be only one HTML file within the gallery folder so upload it to the '/galleries/Sarah_Lamond_JB/' directory on your web server and open it in a browser.
It looks like all the other gallery files have been uploaded OK so with your gallery's index page in place, the gallery should display fine.
