Topic: Large image not displaying...thumbs only

I had that xml config issue that I've seen before ...

So, looked at previous info and posts... and got that part to go away, (see my code)... but now there is no large image displaying... but a HUGE black box with thumbs visible underneath.


<!--START JUICEBOX EMBED-->
<script src="/scan/gallery/jbcore/juicebox.js"></script>
<script>
new juicebox({
containerId : "juicebox-container",
baseUrl : '/scan/gallery/',
galleryWidth: "100%",
galleryHeight: "100%",
backgroundColor: "#222222"
});
</script>
<div id="juicebox-container"></div>
<!--END JUICEBOX EMBED-->

Here is the link... (yes, it is in a separate folder -- so it is INSIDE scan folder (subdomain), with code residing on that index.html page  -  so maybe that is causing some kind of issue?

http://sme-planner.com/scan

My steps:
I placed a folder called gallery inside the scan folder.
I published the gallery to this folder.
I reworked the code snippet based on what I read, so maybe it's something simple to fix.  (See above)

Hope you can help... need this to be live asap.

IMAGE SIZE QUESTION:
Also... note my image sizes are "max of 1024 x 427", AND  the originals ARE that size... so, they were all very horizontal... again, not sure if that makes a diff either.

Caption question... I forgot that I cannot do captions for the LITE version... is it too late to change the file names on the images themselves, to reflect better captions... OR, can I HIDE the file names altogether?

thanks again...

Re: Large image not displaying...thumbs only

It looks like you main images have not been uploaded to the correct location on your web server.
According to your gallery's XML file, the first main image in your gallery should be located here http://sme-planner.com/scan/gallery/ima … tslide.jpg
... but if I go directly to that location in a browser, I get an error 404 message (file not found).
If I go directly to the first thumbnail in your gallery, the thumbnail displays OK: http://sme-planner.com/scan/gallery/thu … tslide.jpg

Check that the main images are in your http://sme-planner.com/scan/gallery/images/ directory and that the permissions on the 'images' directory (and on the main image files themselves) are not too restrictive. Default permissions of 644 for folders and 755 for files should be fine.

(Your gallery's embedding code is fine.)

IMAGE SIZE QUESTION:
Also... note my image sizes are "max of 1024 x 427", AND  the originals ARE that size... so, they were all very horizontal... again, not sure if that makes a diff either.

It does not matter what size the images in your gallery are (as long as they do not have too large a filesize).
You can have images of different resolutions in a single gallery. The images will all be scaled dynamically when the gallery is displayed according to the value to the imageScaleMode configuration option.

Caption question... I forgot that I cannot do captions for the LITE version... is it too late to change the file names on the images themselves, to reflect better captions... OR, can I HIDE the file names altogether?

Juicebox-Lite does support image titles and captions. It is just not possible to reposition the captions (or use other Pro Caption Options) unless you have Juicebox-Pro.
You can edit your gallery in JuiceboxBuilder-Lite to remove or change your image titles and captions (or you can edit your gallery's XML file manually if you like).
In JuiceboxBuilder-Lite, you can enter individual titles and captions for each image on the 'Images' tab or you can change the titles and captions for all images globally using the 'Images -> Titles' and 'Images -> Captions' options from the drop-down menu at the top.
