Topic: Index of galleries [SOLVED]

Hi Juicebox.

I bought your products Juicebox and Showkase  three days ago and I'm beginning to regret it.  I need to build an index of galleries page. Do you have an intuitive step-by-step?

This is supposed to be the Gallery Index page:  http://www.charlesdarwall.com/galleries/

It it should include these pages: http://www.charlesdarwall.com/20160917/  across the top.  I just want thumbnails linked to the individual galleries.

It should not be this difficult.

Sorry for hijacking this thread. I could not see where I could start a new one.

Thanks

Charles

No problem. I've split your post into a new thread.
The 'Post new topic' link is just above the second blue bar at the right-hand side of the page (once you've selected the 'Juicebox-Pro Support' or 'Juicebox-Lite Support' forum).

I need to build an index of galleries page.

(1) On Showkase's 'Pages' tab, click 'New Page', create a Gallery Index Page and click 'Save'.
(2) Now, still on the 'Pages' tab, just drag and drop your Juicebox Gallery Pages (drag and drop the page names in the tree on the left hand side) onto the Gallery Index Page (in the order you want their thumbnails to be displayed).
(3) Click 'Save' and 'Publish'.

Each Juicebox Gallery Page listed under the Gallery Index Page will be represented by a thumbnail image.
By default, the thumbnail image will be the first image in the gallery. If you like, you can change this to be any other image from the gallery by editing the Juicebox Gallery Page, going to the 'Images' tab and selecting a new image in the 'Index' column. Be sure to republish your site after making this change.

Incidentally, I notice that you have a large logo that is taking up a little more that the regular header height and is pushing your Juicebox galleries down their respective pages.
You can compensate for this by going to 'Site -> Customize Theme -> Gallery Pages' and entering a negative pixel value (e.g. "-100") in the 'External fit px' input field.
This will reduce the height of each gallery by the amount you enter and all your galleries will be able to be seen in full (without the need for vertical scrolling) regardless of the height of the user's browser window.

I hope this helps.

Nice quick reply! Thank you!  I recommend you provide a context-sensitive help to say "Gallery display order can be changes and placed below a Gallery Index Page by moving the page using drag and drop."

Thanks for the other suggestion.
