Topic: Custom Button or Link

Hi there,

I'm using the Juicebox Pro plugin in Lightroom and have created several fullscreen galleries in own folders of my website. Until now exactly what I want. To give an overview about all galleries I wrote an php-based site where my visiters could see and select existing folders/galleries. This works as well. Now I'm looking for a solution how a visiter, which have opened one gallery could navigate back to my overview page.

I would love, if I could still use the fullscreen mode and add an own button to the navigation bar, an hyperlink elsewhere or anything else. Are there any options for doing so?

Regards
Martin

Re: Custom Button or Link

You can use the Back Button to include a link to a web page.

The Back Button itself can be plain text (set via backButtonText) or you can use the 'Home' icon (by setting backButtonUseIcon="TRUE"). The URL is set via backButtonUrl.
By default, the Back Button appears in the top-left corner of the gallery but you can reposition it via backButtonPosition and backButtonHAlign.
For short descriptions of all Back Button configuration options, please see here.

Alternatively, you could use a standard HTML <a> tag link in your Gallery Title or in an image title or caption using HTML formatting as noted in these FAQs:

Re: Custom Button or Link

One more question regarding the back button. I set the following options:

backButtonPosition="OVERLAY"
backButtonHAlign="CENTER"
backButtonUseIcon="true"
backButtonUrl="/"
backButtonText="Overview"

Everything works fine, except the image hover text. It seems that it is fix set to "Go Back". Is there a way to use the "backButtonText" instead?

PS: It seems that the backButtonText is only used, if backButtonUseIcon is set to false.

Re: Custom Button or Link

The Back Button can be displayed as text (backButtonText when backButtonUseIcon="FALSE") or as an icon (backButtonUseIcon="TRUE").

You can change the rollover text for icons in a gallery using the languageList configuration option.
Please see here for details.

For example, if you wanted to change the 'Go Back' text to 'Click here to return to home page', you would use the following:

languageList="Show Thumbnails|Hide Thumbnails|Expand Gallery|Close Gallery|Open Image in New Window|Images|Next Image|Previous Image|Play Audio|Pause Audio|Show Information|Hide Information|Start AutoPlay|Stop AutoPlay|AutoPlay ON|AutoPlay OFF|Click here to return to home page|Buy this Image|Share on Facebook|Share on Twitter|Share on Google+|Share on Pinterest|Share on Tumblr|of"

The languageList configuration option is not found in JuiceboxBuilder-Pro but it can be set manually, like any other option, by following the instructions here.
