Juicebox Lightroom Plugin

Follow these steps to automatically build Juicebox galleries usingĀ Adobe Lightroom 4 (Windows or Mac).

Installation

  1. Download and unzip theĀ Juicebox Lightroom Plugin.
  2. Copy the 'juicebox.lrwebengine' file to one of the following locations, depending upon your system. If it does not exist, you may need to create the 'Web Galleries' folder manually.
    • Mac OS X - Users/username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Web Galleries/
    • Windows Vista & Windows 7- C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries\
    • Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries\
  3. Restart Lightroom.
  4. In Lightroom, go to the 'Web' panel. Select 'Juicebox' from the 'Layout Style' Menu.

Upgrading to Juicebox-Pro

Please note that upgrading the Lightroom plugin to Juicebox-Pro does not change the options that are displayed within the Lightroom interface.

To upgrade the Lightroom Plugin to Juicebox-Pro you need to replace the '/jbcore/' folder in the 'juicebox.lrwebengine' package with the one from the Juicebox-Pro download. To do this:

  1. Copy the '/jbcore/' folder from '/web/jbcore/' in the Pro download folder.
  2. Paste it to the 'juicebox.lrwebengine' package, replacing the existing 'jbcore' folder. The location of the package depends upon your operating system:
    • Mac OS X - Users/username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Web Galleries/ (To browse inside the package, use ctrl-click and select "Show Package Contents")
    • Windows Vista & Windows 7- C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries\
    • Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\Web Galleries\
  3. Restart Lightroom. Any galleries you create from now on will be Pro. To verify success, check that the 'Juicebox' badge no longer appears in the lower-right corner of your new galleries.
  4. Enter Pro options in the "Juicebox-Pro Options" text area in the Lightroom Plugin interface. Config options should be entered one per line in the format optionName="OPTION_VALUE". Use Ctrl-Enter to add a new line.

Alternative Methods to set Pro options

In addition to using the "Juicebox-Pro Options" text area to set pro options, there are other methods to consider:

  1. Open the published gallery folder with JuiceboxBuilder-Pro to customize.
  2. Add the Pro options directly in the gallery embed code.
  3. Modify the default options that are applied to new galleries generated by Lightroom by opening the Lightroom plugin's 'config.xml' template file in a plain text editor and adding configuration options to the opening juiceboxgallery tag.
