Poster graphic to launch full viewport juice box

Consider the juicebox pro embedded example.
The gallery is embedded on the page, then expands to full viewport when user clicks expand button. Works great.

Is it possible to launch the full viewport juicebox gallery from a poster poster graphic e.g. a single image rather than an embedded gallery.
I don't want to have the gallery running visibly on the page before it launches full viewport.
So the action would be the same as the embedded pro example, but be clicked from a graphic rather than a running embedded gallery expand button.

I would like several such graphics on a page, each launching a different juicebox gallery full viewport.

I currently have this set up to launch each gallery in a new page, with a back button to return. But I feel it would be slicker to have each gallery launch full viewport without having to go to a fresh page and back.

Perhaps there could be an option to embed poster graphic and then to view gallery full viewport.

I have no idea if this is feasible but would be useful if possible

Thanks

I would like to mix photos with videos in galleries.  If the item is a photo, Juicebox would perform as is.  If the item is a video, Juicebox would for it to be played/stopped, etc. as a video.  Juicebox would support the most popular formats that are handled by the most popular players.

I would really like the option of setting the buttons bar to vertical. Is this already something that can be done?

Thanks for your reply, once I had found web browser add-in for jpeg2000 support but that was a long time ago and only for IE.
There is a MS jpeg2000 plugin for Photoshop and it is part of Windows Media Photo. So there is a codec for it. I have found an article of 2006 that Apple and Adobe are blocking any webbrowser support of JPEG2000 because of license payments

Jpeg is not the best quality format for pictures, it is limited to 8bit and sRGB colorprofile. I was hoping that is was possible to build it in Juicebox.

Thank you for posting your suggestion.
For a couple of tips to prevent having to modify the 'theme.css' file each time you update a gallery, please see this forum post.

Small Screen Mode style thumbs for Large Screen Mode

JB fills gallery with the grid of thumbs (with nav if overflow)
Clicking any thumb Expands JB full viewport and shows image.

Current SSM does not expand to full viewport on thumb click.
No need to show Expand button on thumb page since thumb click would Expand JB.
Would like thumbs to be able to populate the the full gallery area right up to edges (without the SSM padding around the outside)

Reason for asking -
I would like to have a grid of thumbs on a web page. Click any thumb expands JB image full viewport, kind of like a lightbox function. I don't want the gallery to play on the page, only full viewport.

Any chance of this?
Thanks

Thanks for the info

For the time being I made thumbs outside of JB as buttons since there aren't too many images in gallery.
Used  toggleExpand() and showImage(index) to Expand a LSM JB instance to the correct image (thanks for your API demo).
It works ok but will wait for next release to do as above.

I would love to see the main image displaying in a popup window!
Is this possible?

Cheers!

Click Image to Expand

When JB is embedded it would be nice to have the option to click the image to Expand JB to full viewport.
Likewise full viewport to full screen

Thank you for the suggestion.
You could achieve something similar using the Back Button. You could change the icon used for the Back Button (for example to an envelope icon) following the Using Custom Icons support section in the Theming Guide.
You could then use the following configuration options in your gallery:

backButtonPosition="TOP"
backButtonUseIcon="TRUE"
backButtonUrl="mailto:email@address.com"

I was able to change the back button icon to mail icon as described in your page, but what a pain!
Also the mail icon is not displayed with others icons in the icon bar which is really confusing.
Could you just add the possibility to have a real contact icon with the other ones, before or after the social icons?

Another request:

I'm using the gallery title to display a custom logo (<img src...) but this HTML tag is now also displayed in the browser caption bar as the page title. Its ugly and I have to edit index.html to change the page title.

Could you add some fields to control the HTML page key elements:
<title>
<meta name="description">
<meta name="keywords">

And finally one more thing:

When using the auto play feature it seems there is no way to click the image to move to the next one without stopping the auto play.
If I click an image, auto play is stopped. This is annoying for a user who'd like to use the mouse click to move to the next image but still watching the slideshow.

Thanks for your attention!

I like juicebox very much! Its easy, simple and very user friendly for my page visitors.

I have 3 whishes:

1. Add option to map geotagged pictures in e.g. google maps (either via separate button in the menu or via a link in the caption)
I am mainly using Lightroom and tried to solve this manually. As Lightroom uses the GPS format containing the " sign its not possible to let a caption be created automatically that links to google maps with the pictures gps coordinates.

2. Add more option for caption editing to the juicebox builder (e.g. use of EXIF and IPTC informations)

3. Option for real full screen on all devices (not sure if possible at all)

Thanks in advance for considering above
