Topic: transferring simpleviewer gallery to juicebox

I'm a little slow when it comes to coding, so please bear with me...

apparently, I haven't updated my galleries in a year, so when I went to do it recently, I couldn't figure it out.  I opened the Juicebox-Pro version and went to update a gallery (which had previously been created with SimpleViewer-Pro), and when it "converted", it seemed to lose the specifications I had set... not all, just some... like transparent background.  Anyways, I can't even figure out how to get it to load...

this is the new gallery I tried to make:
http://www.stephaniesomers.com/recentgallery.html

here's an example of the SimpleViewer style I would like to convert to (or as close):
http://www.stephaniesomers.com/etchingsgallery.html

I don't know why the new juicebox gallery isn't loading... I think I'm doing it correctly... I use a program called Sitespinner to create my website, then it uploads directly to my host (godaddy)... I have a space saver where I want the gallery to go, and it's labeled as an iFrame html... it's pointed to the correct gallery, I've checked that... and I re-uploaded the gallery files (thumbs and images) to godaddy...

please help!

Thanks, in advance,
~Stephanie

Re: transferring simpleviewer gallery to juicebox

For reference (and others reading this post), instructions for converting SimpleViewer galleries to Juicebox galleries can be found here.

I don't know why the new juicebox gallery isn't loading...

Your <iframe> loads the http://www.stephaniesomers.com/index.html page (which is the page into which the gallery is embedded with the JavaScript embedding code).
This embedding code on this page is looking for the 'juicebox.js' file to be located here: http://www.stephaniesomers.com/jbcore/juicebox.js but it is not.
Upload the entire contents of your gallery's folder to the same directory as the page containing the embedding code (in your case, the root of your web space) and your gallery should be displayed as expected.
If you have uploaded your complete gallery folder to your web server, then you can embed the gallery using the baseUrl method documented here.
