Topic: Splash Page on mobile not showing first gallery image [SOLVED]

Almost have the gallery dialed except for one last thing.

When loaded on mobile, the splash page isn't auto loading the first image as the background.

I've tried it with and without showSplashPage="AUTO", but with no success. It's just loading the normal background color set in the lite options.

Any ideas?

Please post the URL to your gallery so that I can take a look.
Thank you.

Hi Steven,

I'm having this issue as well. This fist visit to a page with JB shows only an empty region. If I refresh then the splash page appears and all works fine. Although, a refresh does NOT make a difference when I use Chrome.

I'm using Galaxy S4 and FF and Chrome.

NOTE: Same issue when I visit your Demo page.

@mark44345

I notice that your gallery uses Juicebox-Pro v1.4.0.
Ordinarily, I would ask you to upgrade your gallery to ensure that any bugs that may have been present in previous versions but which have since been fixed are not contributing to your problem.
However, if the problem happens in our own demo galleries, then this is unlikely to help (although you could still upgrade your gallery if you like by following the instructions here).

I do not have a Galaxy S4 on which to test and would appreciate some help gathering some information.
Do all of our demo galleries which use Splash Pages on mobile devices exhibit the problem?
Lite Embedded: http://www.juicebox.net/demos/lite/embedded/
Pro Embedded: http://www.juicebox.net/demos/lite/embedded/
Splash Page: http://www.juicebox.net/demos/pro/splash/
Blog Style: http://www.juicebox.net/demos/pro/blog/
API Demo: http://www.juicebox.net/demos/support/api/

Also, could you please confirm that you are viewing the galleries using a wi-fi connection rather than 3G? (If your 3G provider uses content modification, then this can break Juicebox.)

Thank you for your help.

Well crap! I've been going to JB net and didn't think about checking for updates! Let me do this first then play with it then I'll run your tests. I don't have wifi...failed on router.

I also should have mentioned that I recently (two days ago) upgraded from shared hosting to VPS. New name servers and all that. Propagation could be an issue?

I ran those test using firefox mobile. I also tried with chrome mobile but chrome is worse. Same initial view as above BUT refresh doesn't make any difference.

I also tried showSplashPage="NEVER" still required a refresh.

Re: Splash Page on mobile not showing first gallery image [SOLVED]

Thank you for testing the demo galleries.
I have now notified the developers of this issue. Thank you for reporting it.

Just had a friend try it on their phone (nexis/google not sure of the service provider, but it's not Sprint like mine is), and it works fine.

I'll test this again on my phone when I get connected to wifi later today.

Re: Splash Page on mobile not showing first gallery image [SOLVED]

Thank you for the additional information in the email you sent me.
It certainly sounds like the problem is due to viewing the galleries over a 3G connection rather than wi-fi.

Please see this FAQ:
Why can't I view my gallery on a 3G mobile connection?

If the problem is, indeed, content modification over a 3G connection, then the solution contained within the FAQ should work fine.
If your web server is Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) rather than Apache, then please see this web page for details on how to set the Cache-Control header to 'no-transform'.

I hope this resolves your problem.
