Re: Feature Requests

Please don't get quite so crazy with the z-index settings.  You set the jb-classifier-link-wrapper as z-index: 3000 inline and the touchnav areas a z-index 500.  This can cause problems with other parts of a site layout if something needs to overlay over the gallery like a menu.  It took me a while to troubleshoot.  Something more reasonable like z-index: 5 and 10 and in separate css instead of inline would be a lot better.

Re: Feature Requests

Would love to see a way to specify the size of each individual thumbnail in the xml file.  I have a special album that requires thumbnails of different widths.  Am currently using a flash album (see update note below) that allows the thumbnails to be individually specified in the xml file.  I have converted all my many albums to Juicebox pro and would love to get rid of this one last flash album!  The current album with flash is at:  http://www.fdnytenhouse.com/fdnywall/bravest.htm

(Update:  Just found an album that does not use flash and allows different width thumbnails (link above). The above link to the former flash album has been replaced with the html version.  It's not bad.  Just be nice to do this with JuiceBox to keep all my albums with the same user interface.)

JuiceBox Pro would be perfect if I could just specify the width of each thumbnail.  During it manually in the xml file would be ideal since this would be very few albums that I need to manually edit.

Re: Feature Requests

Please add the option to SLIDE when clicking the left/right arrow button overlays or icons, even when "imageTransitionType" is set to FADE.

Reason: While I generally like FADE (or CROSS_FADE) better, SLIDE is a more intuitive feedback with these left/right buttons as the user immediately sees in which direction the slideshow moves. Doing FADE with imageClickMode="NAVIGATE" is fine though.

Please modernize the update process!

Almost every other piece of software I own checks for updates, alerts me, and then offers a one-click option to download the update. The install process rarely requires more than typing in admin credentials and clicking OK.

Juicebox seems more inclined to send us on some kind of vision quest— in search of new updates, and then in search of the How to Update instructions on the site, and then into the bowels of our own email records to try to find the original email receipt ...
All this just to send a web form requesting a download link. This followed by a few days wait, a manual download, and a manual uninstall and reinstall...

Honestly, it's the most Byzantine update process I've encountered in the last ten years.

Please spare us.

Re: Feature Requests

I'm using a web service to dynamically supply the file information to build a Juicebox display. 

Webservices today generally emit JSON, yet  Juicebox only consumes XML.  It would be ideal if Juicebox could support JSON, so that I didn't have to build a specific webservice to only feed Juicebox's XML needs.

Re: Feature Requests

JSON support would be great, would allow a lot more service integration with little extra effort as the flickr integration already allows. Even better would be integration into other photo services, especially smugmug, since smugmugs built in embedding is still flash based and isn't changing anytime soon. This would be a huge consumer base to tap. THeya re currently working on a new api

Re: Feature Requests

I agree the current update process is not ideal. We are looking at ways to improve it.

Re: Feature Requests

While this might be available in any of the offered software-programs, I am not aware of a solution.

I'd like to see a way where a photo which is extremely wide, as it is a panorama, being shown with an automatic sliding from left-to-right. So the user will see the most left part of the picture after which it is slid out on the left side revealing the whole pictures gradually. Currently I am unable to show panorama's (normally).

If, as said, I am unaware, but such is possible, please do excuse me and hint me in the direction of either the way how to do it or the software which is capable of adding this.

This (together with zooming often called Ken Burns Effect) would be very much welcome and was indeed the main reason why I chose Monoslideshow some years ago. As that software was Flash only, I switched to Juicebox, and it's much more mature, but - no Ken Burns effect! So, yes, I'd like to see this, too. I would even be willing to pay extra for this feature.

Re: Feature Requests

@Ruud Westerhout

Just to clarify, there is currently no way to pan across or zoom into an image within a Juicebox-Pro gallery.
The only way to have a panoramic image displayed in full would be to set imageScaleMode to SCALE_DOWN or SCALE (although if your gallery is narrow, then the image be be displayed very small).
You could always set a large value for your gallery's width and visitors to your web site could horizontally scroll across your page to see the entire image. Perhaps not an ideal solution but one you might like to consider.
In any case, thank you for your suggestion.

Re: Feature Requests

I would like to see the following features in the next update:

1. While using Picasa as the image source setting the number of images to load from a album with a parameter

2. While using Picasa, an option to show the images in reverse order

3. instead of a background I would like the stage to be transparent (so my site background will be visible. Especially in full screen mode this is something I miss

4. when the image_overlay hides I would like the captions to stay visible (also set to overlay_image). So buttons etc hide/caption stays visible

Re: Feature Requests

@edwinoonk

Thank you for the suggestions.
It sounds like you are referring to WP-Juicebox. If so, you can use a transparent background by setting the Background Opacity in your gallery settings window to '0' (zero).

Also, if you wanted to reverse the order you Picasa gallery images, you could change line 105 of the 'config.php' file from:

$attachments = $Juicebox->get_attachments_picasa($custom_values['e_picasaUserId'], $custom_values['e_picasaAlbumName']);

... to:

$attachments = array_reverse($Juicebox->get_attachments_picasa($custom_values['e_picasaUserId'], $custom_values['e_picasaAlbumName']));

... although this would reverse the order for all Picasa galleries. (I understand your request for a new option to toggle this image order per gallery.)
Please note that the line number above refers to the current version of WP-Juicebox (v1.4.3.1).

Yes, I'm referring to WP-Juicebox and yes I would like to toggle that image order per gallery.

BTW, I am running v1.4.3 where can I get v1.4.3.1?

Re: Feature Requests

Option to "stack the thumbnails on top of the main image (overlapping it)". This is one of the must have features for me and I had to skip the juicebox pro because it's missing this. It would be way more fluid user experiense when having the gallery full screen and hiding/unhiding thumbnails. Just look at the iPad's default photo gallery app and see how fluid it is when the image doesn't resize all the time when you hide/unhide the thumbnails.

Re: Feature Requests

Option to load images from imgur.com. Reasons to choose imgur over flickr:

1. imgur allows hotlinking
2. imgur allow now unlimited uploads free for everyone
3. flickr is fading. imgur is #1 image sharing site after instagram (alexa rank #45, flickr #137)

Re: Feature Requests

I am using juicebox for wordpress to show my picasa webalbums. It would be neat if the picasa comment system could also be showed on the page.

Another neat option would be to show a thumbnail of the previous and next image where the plugin now shows an arrow on hovering over the image.

Another option I would like is to have a parameter to force showing the splash page of an album, clicking on the splashpage would take the user to a page which I can define in another parameter.

An example of juicebox on my site: http://www.edvervanzijnbed.nl/bhutan

thanks for the great work/plugin

Re: Feature Requests

@edwinoonk

Thank you for your suggestions.

I am using juicebox for wordpress to show my picasa webalbums. It would be neat if the picasa comment system could also be showed on the page.

By default, WP-Juicebox already uses the Picasa 'title' as the image title and the Picasa 'summary' as the image caption. ('title' and 'summary' are fields defined in the Picasa Web Albums Data API.)
If you enter a caption for a Picasa Web Album image, it should be displayed as the image caption in your Juicebox gallery.
If you have an example of this not working, please post a link so that I can take a look. Thank you.

Another option I would like is to have a parameter to force showing the splash page of an album...

This can be achieved by setting showSplashPage="ALWAYS".
For reference, the Splash Page configuration options can be found here.

Thanks for your reply, but what I meant was the comment system of Picasa, e.g. the comments or reactions of viewers to my pictures. The titles and descriptions I have given the pictures are indeed shown just like you explained.

Also I am aware of the showsplashpage=always parameter, but I would like to combine that parameter with a parameter in which I specify an URL where the user would go if he/she clicks on the splashpage. I announce to the readers of my blog that there is a new fotoalbum available in a blogpost. I would like this blogpost to be the splashpage, and when they click on the splashpage be taken to the URL where the album is shown entirely.

Hope this clarifies what I meant.

Thank you,
Edwin

Re: Feature Requests

Thank you for clarifying your suggestions.

With regard to the Splash Page link suggestion, the Splash Page is actually part of the gallery itself (which is displayed only by embedding the gallery in a web page) and clicking the Splash Page expands the gallery (like clicking the 'Expand' button on the Button Bar). It is not really possible to have the Splash Page (on one page) redirect to a different page containing the same gallery (and other custom content). (The gallery would have to be embedded into both pages.)

I hope that makes sense.

It sounds like what you are looking to achieve could be done with a standard HTML image link such as the following:

<a href="gallery.html"><img src="image.jpg" width="100" height="50" alt="gallery" /></a>

(You could overlay some text onto the image link using CSS to resemble a gallery's Splash Page.)

Re: Feature Requests

Need user driven filter menu capability for your photo gallery.  For example, Picassa lets you create tags or key words as well as title. 
1) You should support generic search capability for description/title of a photograph
2) You should offer multilevel filter capability so you can sort by category and/or sub category for a particular grouping of photos/images.  It would be nice to sort on more than ONE dimension or element.  For example, I might want to filter on a product category and I also might want to sort on a timeframe (mo/year/decade/etc.)
          I believe there are a lot of uses for this photo database filtering capability.  It is UNREASONABLE for anyone to assume that a USER will KNOW what categories and tags you have in your database.   You need to be able to display them so they know what their OPTIONS are upfront.   I have not seen this capability anywhere.  I have been designing web applications almost since the INTERNET began (I am NOT a programmer) but our Thomas & Betts web order entry system has generated over ONE BILLION DOLLARS in orders for the company. 
           Sorting photos by face recognition and/or object recognition, GPS, time stamps, etc are all neat BUT they do not provide a clean consistent categoration of information.  Photos are NOT necessarily random images ... they need to be indexed and cataloged in a logical way so that someone can quickly view precisely what they are looking for.  Hope you will give this idea some consideration as I believe you would find it to be financially beneficial for a number of business and historical reference applications.

Re: Feature Requests

As requested by Steven (http://juicebox.net/forum/post.php?tid=1892), I'll post my request here.

I would like to have a(nother) Juicebox version without the jQuery library included. As long as I know what versions of jQuery are compatible with Juicebox, I can make sure this version is included myself.
Since I'm working with Drupal which has jQuery build in, it's a waste that jQuery is loaded twice.

Re: Feature Requests

I'm using wp-juicebox and would love to have the option to change the working of the full screen button per album. So it would either work like it does now, or open the picture(s) in the default lightbox.
