Topic: Adding new images to existing gallery (online)

Hi,

My client wants to use Juicebox gallery (pro version) on the website and I played with this a few times (I am new to this ). I created gallery through adobe air and embedded the html and resources produced to the page of current website.

If clients want to add some more image to the current gallery, do we have to re-create the gallery through the tool and replace with it (replace only config.xml and new images I guess) or can we set the gallery to load images dynamically from a specific folder?

Any suggestions for this will be appreciated!

Re: Adding new images to existing gallery (online)

That would certainly work (and you are correct in thinking that only the updated 'config.xml' file and the new images would need to be uploaded).

Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to set up a Juicebox gallery using a Flickr account as the source of images.
The user could then simply upload new images to the Flickr account and they would automatically be included in the Juicebox gallery (without the need to modify any gallery files).
For reference, a list of all Flickr configuration options can be found on the Config Options page (in the Lite and Flickr sections).
Please note that the configuration options in the Flickr section are Pro only and not available in Juicebox-Lite.

It would also be possible to use a PHP script to instruct Juicebox to dynamically display all images in a designated folder.
Please see this forum post for details on how this could be achieved.

Both these methods work equally well with Juicebox-Lite (the free version) and Juicebox-Pro (although Juibceox-Pro has many more Flickr configuration options than Juicebox-Lite).
