Topic: Adding Photos

I know it is probably easier to just redo my Gallery, but I tried to add 4 photos into my Gallery. I put the large images in Images and the small 85x85 into the thumbs and modified the xml adding four new <image></image> with captions. I looked all over trying to find where the gallery counter is located, but nada. I think it's in the .js file. But until I change that counter nothing shows. Is there any easy way to update the counter? Or is the easy way just to redo the whole gallery?

Re: Adding Photos

Are you building your gallery manually? Try using JuiceboxBuilder-Pro to easily create and add images to galleries.

Yes. I am using Pro. Just wanted to add 4 pix to gallery without having to redo the whole thing- dl original modify then upload test etc.

Re: Adding Photos

It would be easier to open your existing gallery in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro (assuming you still have a copy of it on your computer), add 4 images via the 'Images' tab and re-save your gallery on the 'Publish' tab than to place new images in the 'images' folder, create your own thumbnails and place them in the 'thumbs' folder and then manually add new corresponding <image> entries to the gallery's 'config.xml' file.
However, you can manually add images to your gallery (as above) if you wish.
After adding new images to your gallery by either method (whether using JuiceboxBuilder-Pro or doing it manually), you would still need to upload the new images and XML file to your web server. It would be easier to let JuiceboxBuilder-Pro generate the thumbnails and the gallery's XML file for you.

Juicebox counts the number of <image> entries in your gallery's XML file. There is no counter to set.
If you do not see the new images in your gallery when you view it in your browser, please see this FAQ:
When I update my gallery I don't see my changes online. Why?

Dohhh, it had nothing to do with my way of adding images or cache. It had to do with me accidentally adding a line of code that shouldn't have been there. It made the changes invisible.
