Topic: Create Landing Page of ONLY THUMBNAILS?

I'd like to create a landing page of THUMBNAILS only and make them about 300 px in size. I'd like those thumnails to link to deeper galleries. Is this possible to do? How do I hide the MAIN image and show only the THUMBNAILS on the page (and create links to deeper galleries)?

Re: Create Landing Page of ONLY THUMBNAILS?

It is not possible within Juicebox to hide the main image and display only the thumbnails. It is also not possible to associate links with thumbnails, although you could use the Juicebox-Pro API onImageChange ( index ) method to listen for an image being changed (i.e. a thumbnail being clicked) to fire a function to then open a new web page depending on which image was selected.

Currently, the only automated method of creating a multi-gallery album in a single pass is to use the Juicebox Skin with jAlbum. However, it uses a JavaScript navigation tree (with text nodes, not thumbnails) to select the gallery to be displayed.

An alternative would be to use svManager. You would be able to create individual Juicebox galleries which would be listed (with thumbnails) on an index page like this sample svManager installation.
Please note that the current version of svManager does support Juicebox but the demo page has not yet been updated.

I built my own landing page which links to 6 separate Juicebox galleries - see what I did here:

Great stuff! Your website looks good.
I'm glad you have achieved what you were looking to do.

I've done a very similar thing using TTG CE2 Auto Index for the main page and Juicebox for the galleries. It doesn't achieve the thumbnail gallery idea so much.. but it helps to break large galleries down into much smaller subsets. Just like Michael's example, I used it to break 300+ photos from a wedding into all the different logical groupings: Pre-ceremony, Ceremony, Reception, Family & Friends, The Couple, Food, etc.
