Topic: Integrating juicebox gallery in my site [SOLVED]

? The photogallery i use now doesnt work on win 10, so I have to look for an alternative and perhaps it will be juicebox. Before i try it Some questionnaires:
Can i easilly integratie the galeries into this site: www.ppphoto.nl
So that i easilly can go back to other buttons in my site?
It should work on the browser of windows 10
i want to use it as a LRvpluginn.

Someone knows whether all this wil work?

Re: Integrating juicebox gallery in my site [SOLVED]

Can i easilly integratie the galeries into this site: www.ppphoto.nl
So that i easilly can go back to other buttons in my site?

Yes. Your current site links directly to full-browser gallery pages with a 'Home' button in each gallery to return to your main page.
You could certainly replicate this setup with Juicebox. You could link directly to full-browser Juicebox gallery pages and Juicebox-Pro features a Back Button which you can configure to link to whatever web page you like.
Check out the Pro Full Browser gallery on the Juicebox-Pro Demos page which is a full page gallery which features the Back Button (the icon in the top left of the gallery).
You can configure the Back Button using the available Back Button options (for example you can use the 'home' icon or custom text).

Alternatively, you can embed Juicebox galleries within existing web pages (alongside other content) by following the embedding instructions here.

It should work on the browser of windows 10

Juicebox galleries can be viewed in any modern browser (Edge, Chrome, Firefox, IE8+, Opera, Safari).
Please see the System Requirements for more details (and check out the demo galleries in your browsers).

i want to use it as a LRvpluginn.

There is a Lightroom plugin available to allow you to create Juicebox galleries with Lightroom.
The Lightroom plugin comes bundled within the Juicebox-Lite and Juicebox-Pro zip packages.
Instructions for installing and using the Lightroom plugin can be found on the plugin's support page here.

You can download Juicebox-Lite (and then try out the Juicebox-Lite Lightroom plugin) from the Download Page. (Please note that the Back Button is not available in Juicebox-Lite and is a feature of Juicebox-Pro only.)
You can also build galleries using JuiceboxBuilder (the standalone desktop application we provide), if you like.

I hope this helps to clarify things for you.
If you have any further queries, please let me know and I'll do my best to answer them for you.

Re: Integrating juicebox gallery in my site [SOLVED]

Thank you for your quick answer! I I,ll try the lite version first and if it suits than I.ll upgrade to pro. One last question: can I go with the home button ( in the pro version) back to any page I want of my site or only to the index? And with the galleries I use now it is possible to insert more than one button, so that you can go back to different pages of my site or is that not possible?

Re: Integrating juicebox gallery in my site [SOLVED]

Thank you for your quick answer!

You're welcome!

One last question: can I go with the home button ( in the pro version) back to any page I want of my site or only to the index?

You can point the Back Button towards any URL you like via the backButtonUrl configuration option (the URL does not even need to be within your site).
The path for the backButtonUrl can be relative (to the web page containing the gallery's embedding code) or absolute (in the form 'http://www.example.com/gallery/index.html')

And with the galleries I use now it is possible to insert more than one button, so that you can go back to different pages of my site or is that not possible?

The Back Button is the easiest way to include a link in a gallery (and the only dedicated feature available to do so).
You can, however, use the Gallery Title as a link and you can also include links in image titles and captions using HTML formatting as noted in these FAQs:
How do I add HTML formatting to image captions and titles?
How do I add HTML formatting to the Gallery Title or Back Button?

It sounds like you might want to have links alongside the gallery (pointing towards other pages within your site).
If so, then you might like to take a look at another of our products, Showkase, which allows you to create a complete portfolio website including Juicebox gallery pages and non-gallery pages (where you can add whatever content you like). Every Showkase site features an automatically-generated navigation menu (with links to all pages within the site).

Showkase is a PHP web application which in installed on your web server and whose interface is accessed via a web browser.
Showkase has full support for Juicebox-Pro and the galleries can be created within the application itself via its interface (or created with JuiceboxBuilder and imported).

You can create Gallery Index pages and have as many galleries listed on each Gallery Index page as you wish.
Each gallery is represented by a thumbnail image with the gallery title displayed below and the gallery is opened when the user clicks on the image.
Demo sites created with Showkase can be found here and a sample Gallery Index page can be found here.

Showkase can also create non-gallery pages (About, Basic and Contact pages) where you can add information about yourself (or any other content you like).
All of this is done automatically within the Showkase interface without the need for any manual coding at all.
You can take a look around the Showkase interface by logging into the Live Demo Admin.

Showkase can be purchased as Showkase-Standard (which comes with Juicebox-Lite) or Showkase-Pro (which comes with Juicebox-Pro).
The only difference between Showkase-Standard and Showkase-Pro is the bundled viewer (Juicebox-Lite vs Juicebox-Pro).

I hope you find this information useful.

Re: Integrating juicebox gallery in my site [SOLVED]

I tried to install the light version LR plugin, the download and extraction worked okee, but I cannot get it installed in LR.
I use Windows 7 and LR 5.2, so it should work?
I tried it all the ways as described on your site, as well manually or automatically.
Also when I use the plugin manager of LR and I search for the noticed folder Than I get a failure notice, that LR could not succeed
What am I doing wrong?

On the site of adobe i read that the extensions must be: .lrplugin I don,t see this extensions in one of the downloaded juicebox files??

Re: Integrating juicebox gallery in my site [SOLVED]

Yes, the Juicebox Lightroom Plugin should install and run fine on Lightroom 4 or later.

Also when I use the plugin manager of LR and I search for the noticed folder Than I get a failure notice, that LR could not succeed

The Juicebox Lightroom Plugin is not technically a Lightroom 'Plug-in' (and it cannot be installed by Lightroom's 'Plug-in Manager'). It is actually a Lightroom 'Web Engine' and, once installed, shows up as a 'Layout Style' option in the 'Web' module.
Installation instructions can be found on the support page but below are some additional details which should help you to successfully install the web engine.

You should be able to install the Juicebox Lightroom Plugin as follows:

(1) Extract the Juicebox-Pro v1.5.1 zip file and you'll find the Juicebox Lightroom Plugin in this location:
juicebox_pro_1.5.1/adobe-lightroom-plugin/juicebox_pro.lrwebengine

(2) On a Windows PC, juicebox_pro.lrwebengine looks like a regular folder but you should be able to install the web engine by dragging and dropping the juicebox_pro.lrwebengine folder directly onto your Lightroom desktop shortcut (and a small pop-up dialog box should ask you if you want to install it).
On a Mac, juicebox_pro.lrwebengine is seen as a special package and you should be able to install the web engine by double-clicking the juicebox_pro.lrwebengine package. (Please note that this double-click method does not work on a Windows PC.)

(3) If the auto-install methods from #2 above do not work, then you can install the web engine manually by copying and pasting the complete juicebox_pro.lrwebengine folder/package (not just its contents) into the following location:
Mac OS X - Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Web Galleries/
Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 & 10 - C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries\
On a Windows PC, you might need to show hidden files to navigate to this location in Windows File Explorer.

If you cannot find Lightroom's 'Web Galleries' folder on your computer, then please try the following:

  • Open Lightroom.

  • Go to 'Edit -> Preferences...' (from the drop-down menu at the top).

  • Select the 'Presets' tab.

  • Click the 'Show Lightroom Presets Folder...' button.

  • Navigate inside the 'Lightroom' folder in the file explorer window that pops up.

  • Now navigate inside the 'Web Galleries' folder. (If the 'Web Galleries' folder does not already exist inside the 'Lightroom' folder, then you'll need to create it manually.)

Now, paste the juicebox_pro.lrwebengine folder/package directly inside the 'Web Galleries' folder (overwriting any existing juicebox_pro.lrwebengine folder/package).

Before attempting the manual method, try deleting any existing juicebox_pro.lrwebengine folder/package from the 'Web Galleries' folder and re-try the auto-install method for your platform (Windows PC or Mac).

(I realise that you use a Windows PC but I've included some Mac details above, too, as it may help other users facing a similar problem.)

I hope this helps.

Re: Integrating juicebox gallery in my site [SOLVED]

Thank you , i,ll try again and let you know whether i suceedded

Re: Integrating juicebox gallery in my site [SOLVED]

OK. As long as you can get the juicebox_pro.lrwebengine (or juicebox_lite.lrwebengine) folder inside the C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries\ directory, then you should see "Juicebox-Pro" (or "Juicebox-Lite") as a 'Layout Style' in the 'Web' module.

Re: Integrating juicebox gallery in my site [SOLVED]

Yeah, so far suceedded, thank you very much
I tried the lite version on two albums on my site: www.ppphoto.nl
In: nieuwe series: Katja and in portfolio/the making of.
This works as it should be,  but i cannot go back to my site so i will buy the pro version.

Do you know if is it possible to use the juiceboxlinks for example as a "splashpage" under each little photo (on    http://www.ppphoto.nl/Portfolio_nieuwste%20series.html  so that i every time return to that page and be able to open another album on another picture ?
Or is this not possible? If possible I would like to integrate the juiceboxpages without have to rebuild my whole site.

But first I wish you a happy new year , I.ll hear you reply in the new year

Re: Integrating juicebox gallery in my site [SOLVED]

This works as it should be,  but i cannot go back to my site so i will buy the pro version.

With Juicebox-Pro, you'll certainly be able to use the Back Button to provide visitors to your website with a way back to your gallery index page.

Do you know if is it possible to use the juiceboxlinks for example as a "splashpage" under each little photo (on    http://www.ppphoto.nl/Portfolio_nieuwste%20series.html  so that i every time return to that page and be able to open another album on another picture ?

You could embed all your galleries on your main overview page (please see the Embedding Guide for details) and use the Splash Page for every one (so that a mini Splash Page expands each gallery when clicked and the visitor would be able to return to your gallery index page by closing the expanded gallery).

Alternatively, you could leave your thumbnail images as they are, upload all your individual gallery folders to your web server and link the thumbnail images on your gallery index page (using regular HTML <a> tags) to the 'index.html' files in the corresponding gallery folders (to open full page galleries) with each gallery featuring a Back Button so that the visitor can return to your gallery index page.
For example, instead of using:

<a href="/Portfolio_nieuwste series.html"><img src="/images/miniaturen/Katja2_miniatuur.jpg" alt="Katja" width="120" height="180" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('Katja2','','')" /></a>

... you could use something like the following (assuming that you upload all your gallery folders to a directory named 'Juicebox_Galleries' in your root directory):

<a href="/Juicebox_Galleries/Katja2/index.html"><img src="/images/miniaturen/Katja2_miniatuur.jpg" alt="Katja" width="120" height="180" /></a>

Re: Integrating juicebox gallery in my site [SOLVED]

Thank you again  and I must give you a compliment that you reply so quickly!
( the reason that I step over to juicebox is because I got no answer to solve my problem from the developers of the viewer I use now)
One last question,( I know it's a bit beyond the helpdeskfunction):
Your last described selution seems to me the most easiest one, but I am not so got in html language . Does that mean that I have to upload with Lightroom all my new galleries to a location on my site, par example: www.ppphoto.nl/juicebox/"name new gallerie" and put a link from my thumbnail images to such a new gallerie and from which I can go with the home button back to the page with the thumbnails? I think if that works it would be relatively easy to update my site over and over with new photoseries.

If you could help me with this last question I would be glad and the thread be set as solved :)
When I am so far that everything works as it should I will let you know and show you the result

Yes, absolutely. It should be relatively easy to modify your custom gallery index page to link your thumbnail images to your gallery 'index.html' pages and keeping all your gallery folders in a centralized 'juicebox' directory, though not essential, will certainly help to keep things organized on your web server.

I'm sure you'll get on fine!
If you run into any difficulties, just let me know and I'll do my best to help you out.

Re: Integrating juicebox gallery in my site [SOLVED]

I, v bought the pro version and updated my site with the plugin. You can see the result on:
www.ppphoto.nl  Everything is working fine except one thing: on pc and tablets no problems, but on mobile devies the "home" button doesn,t appear. Do you know the reason? Is this not possible on mobile phones or did i somthing wrong with the settings in lightroom?

Re: Integrating juicebox gallery in my site [SOLVED]

For the Back Button to appear in Small Screen Mode, you'll need to set showSmallBackButton="TRUE" (in the Back Button section).
Please note that in Small Screen Mode, the Back Button will be displayed on the main image pages but not the thumbnail pages.

If you really need a link on the Small Screen Mode thumbnail pages, then you could use HTML formatting within the Gallery Title (as noted in this FAQ) to include an <a> tag. For example, you could enter a galleryTitle (in the 'Lite' options section) such as:

Click <a href="http://www.example.com/index.html">here</a> to return to main page.

If you choose to use display a Gallery Title in your gallery, then it will be displayed in Large Screen Mode and on the thumbnail pages (but not the main image pages) in Small Screen Mode.
You can position the Gallery Title (for Large Screen Mode) using the galleryTitlePosition and galleryHAlign configuration options (in the 'General' options section).
