No, joi uses CSS instead.

Yes, you should provide an absolute URL to the homeURL parameter. For
example, in the <bins> section of the album.xml, I have :
   <parameter name="homeURL">
           http://sautret.org
   </parameter>

Yours misses the http://

In the same way, I have 
    <parameter name="feedbackMail">
      jerome at sautret.org
    </parameter>
And it works. Can you try it in the album.xml to see if it changes
something ?

Again, here is an example : 
      <field name="sampleimage">
         IMG_0589.JPG
      </field>

It is also possible to use an image that is in a sub-album :
      <field name="sampleimage">
         040_Gardelle/IMG_4039.JPG
      </field>

Can you send an example of the	album.xml ?
