Re: Feature Requests

1. It would be nice if on the Publish page you could put in the baseURL for the gallery so you don't have to recode or carefully cut and paste the embed code. This would save some time when doing additions to multiple galleries. A check box "Yes I'm using a baseURL" when checked it adds the entered URL info.

2. A built in FTP client would be an awesome addition as well, save and upload from one program.

3. A way to adjust the crop on the thumbnail, I have heads cut off in the thumbs.

Thanks

Re: Feature Requests

Hello,
I use a WinPhone 8.1 and I find that the floating buttonbar obscures the image quite substantially when viewing galleries on my site when the phone is rotated laterally (i.e. landscape). My request is for the button bar to automatically fade out after several seconds of user inactivity. :)

Re: Feature Requests

API methods :

1) toggleInfo ()
onInitComplete  I use : $('div.jb-bb-btn-show-info').trigger('click');

2) getJbBtnStatus (): Object
{ShowInfo: true / false,
ShowList: true / false,
autoPlay: true / false,
audioPlaying: true / false,
fullScreen: true / false}
to get the status of  jb-bb-btn-???

For now I use  the "title" attribute, using the plug-in 'tipped.js,' to display  a clear and detailed information about  button's action depending its status.

3) if config.backbuttonposition === "OVERLAY" do not hide it when Hide Information

4) an API method to hide all objects except image

I do it this way :

        $('body').on({
            mouseenter: function() {
                $visible_collection.css({'visibility':'visible', 'opacity':1});
            },
            mouseleave: function() {
                $visible_collection.css({'visibility':'hidden', 'opacity':0});
            }
        });

Thanks for this JuiceBox's  wonderfull world

Re: Feature Requests

Was pleased in 1.4 to see a bug fix for the navigation arrows not showing when using small UI on a desktop browser.

Would still very much like to be able to 'auto-hide' thumbnails.  I'm sure it's not a big deal for you guys to code, but it would make the UI so much cleaner and display images (the whole point right?) so much better.

So my request is : auto-hide / auto-show thumbnails

Display thumbnails on page load, auto-hide them after 5-10 secs if the mouse is not hovering over them.
Auto-display thumbnails on mouse hover.

Re: Feature Requests

Also on Thumbnails ...

Why do we have to have these pages of thumbnails?  Can't they just 'slide'.

(I know they can, because I posted a demo from some javascript geeks site the last time I requested this).

Re: Feature Requests

Setting a custom logo as the gallery title straight from the Lightroom plugin, please.

Re: Feature Requests

@killa

You can enter a Gallery Title (in the 'Web -> Juicebox -> Site Info' control panel) using HTML formatting (just as you would in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro) such as:

<img src="http://www.example.com/images/logo.png" width="100" height="50" alt="logo" />

... and then ensure that your logo image is uploaded to the correct location on your web server.

Re: Feature Requests

I would be nice if JuiceboxBuilder could keep the initial image format after resizing or adding a watermark.

Currently the processed images are saved as JPEGs even if the original images are PNGs.

Re: Feature Requests

please... a share button in the button bar - click reveals panel of share icons

permanently displaying list of share icons in buttonbar is poor design imo

all web gallery/iOS apps use share button

nice design example - Koken lightbox http://madison.koken.me


in hope, thanks
(haven't read the other posts - apologies if already requested elsewhere)

Re: Feature Requests

A "dowload full resolution image" button so the user could download in one click directly whereas today he has to open the image and do a right click / save as...

My clients aren't familiar with that kind of manipulation so a download button would b great for my utilisation !

Re: Feature Requests

@Tiphaine

It would be much easier to implement direct download functionality if all browsers supported the HTML 5 download attribute but this is not yet the case. Please see here for a list of browsers which currently support this feature.
If you would like to try this (though it will only work in the browsers listed in the link above), you could include a link within each image's caption using the 'download' attribute such as the following:

<caption><![CDATA[<a href="images/image.jpg" download="image.jpg">Click here to download image.</a>]]></caption>

If entering the caption directly into JuiceboxBuilder-Pro (in a 'Caption' text field on the 'Images' tab), you would enter just the following:

<a href="images/image.jpg" download="image.jpg">Click here to download image.</a>

JuiceboxBuilder-Pro will enclose the caption in the <caption> and CDATA tags automatically behind the scenes so there is no need to enter them into JuiceboxBuilder-Pro.
(You would need to include them only if entering the caption manually by editing the 'config.xml' file in a plain text editor.)

The href="images/image.jpg" part is the path to the file which will be downloaded. You can use an absolute path (such as http://www.example.com/gallery/images/image.jpg) or a relative path (as in my example above). If using a relative path, it will be relative to the HTML page containing the gallery's embedding code.

The download="image.jpg" part is the name which will be given to the file when the user downloads it. (It does not have to be the same as the image's filename, although it should have the same file extension.)

The Click here to download image. part is the text that will be displayed on screen as the caption which, when clicked, will download the file.

Please remember that this will work only in certain browsers and visitors to your web site using browsers which do not support this HTML 5 attribute (such as Internet Explorer and Safari) may wonder why this feature in your gallery does not work as expected. (You may wish to add a note somewhere on your web page to say that direct download functionality is available only in Firefox, Chrome and Opera.)

I hope this helps.

Re: Feature Requests

It would be fine to show only thumbnails, with link.

Re: Feature Requests

+1 @joaqimb ! I'm looking for something to make a mosaic grid !

Re: Feature Requests

What would be awesome (and doesn't look impossible...?) would be an option to have thumbs :
- On the right when device is in landscape mode
- At the bottom when device is in portrait mode (typically on tablets)
- Switching between the two positions when user turns its device

This would really optimize screen space, especially for galleries where half of the images are in portrait mode and half in landscape mode.

Re: Feature Requests

Oh yes and I forgot pinch to zoom !
I have seen that you removed it because it used to interfere with swipe gesture.
But I've seen it working perfectly on some other galleries. And they're open source so it would be easy for you to see how they implemented it. Seemed politically incorrect to advertise them here but I'll tell you which ones if you wish.

Re: Feature Requests

Would be great to be able to sort photos by capture (original file creation) date.

Thanks,
Patrick

Re: Feature Requests

Love Juicebox! It would be even better if the captions with the properties "CAPTION POSITION: BOTTOM" & CAPTION HALIGN: CENTER" would be really centered when "SHOW IMAGE NUMBER" is activated (it's always a little bit off) or to have the option to center the image number, too.


Thanks,
Patrick

Re: Feature Requests

@ps76

As I am sure you are aware, when showImageNumber="TRUE", the caption wraps before it reaches the image number (so that caption will never overlap the image number) and when using captionHAlign="CENTER", the caption will be centered in the available space (which does not count the space taken up by the image number).

I understand your request (and thank you for the suggestion) but I thought that I should point out (just in case you are not aware) that it is possible to tweak the position of the images titles and captions using inline CSS via HTML formatting as documented in this FAQ. (You could perhaps use CSS margin and padding properties to shift the titles and captions slightly.)
You could maybe use a caption such as:

<caption><![CDATA[<span style="margin-left: 20px;">Caption text goes here.</span>]]></caption>

Otherwise, you could maybe just bump your caption along a bit by adding a few spaces (&nbsp;) to its beginning:

<caption><![CDATA[&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Caption text goes here.]]></caption>

Thanks, Steven! This worked pretty good, although it was a bit of pain to do this in 50+ galleries

Re: Feature Requests

@ps76

If you ever need to edit multiple XML files again, you might like to take a look at Notepad++.
It is a free text editor which is capable of editing multiple files at once and it supports regular expressions so you could open all your gallery XML files and surround your existing captions with the <span></span> tags in a single search and replace action across all files.
Regular expressions take a bit of getting used to but they are a powerful tool when it comes to searching and replacing.

Re: Feature Requests

I would like to see an EXIF information overlay window with a link in the Button bar to turn it off and on.

I second this.  I'll happily upgrade to the Pro version of Juicebox if I can get a way to see all EXIF information of an image.  It's too interesting and important to be hidden, specially in a photo gallery.

Re: Feature Requests

Hello,
I would love to see the functionality of selection lists. In short, create a gallery where a click on an image saves the selection and at the end of the gallery you can send off your selections with a commentary to the photographer.
The shopping cart might have been it? But it sent you off to buy an individual print.
Would this be possible with the custom icon controls?

Thanks for listening!

Re: Feature Requests

@Mikael P.

I understand your request for a quick and easy way to select a number of images. (Thank you for the suggestion.)
However, if you are familiar with HTML, JavaScript and PHP, you could perhaps achieve this functionality already using the Juicebox-Pro API and PHP session variables.
You could create a link (either within your gallery or elsewhere on your web page) to 'Add an image' to a selection list.
When clicked, the link would get the current image number (using the getImageIndex() API method) and pass it onto a PHP script which would add the image number to a PHP session variable array.
You could have further links (and separate corresponding PHP scripts) to display the current list of selected images to the user, reset the list and email the list to yourself.
As noted, knowledge of HTML, JavaScript and PHP would be necessary but it is possible (although it might turn out to be a rather complex project, especially if you wanted to extend the functionality by allowing the user to send you notes).

Re: Feature Requests

Thanks for the suggestion Steven! I'll talk with someone knowledgeable in the dark arts of php and html.
