@Twade

– Yeah, I’ve had this question before. If you refer to the full Documentation by Patrick Fitzgerald, you’ll find a couple of methods including using cookies to open on the most recently selected tab.

The easiest way is to assign the tabbertabdefault class to the div in question (in addition to the tabbertab class) <div class=”tabbertab tabbertabdefault”> – this div will now open as the default tab.

Hope this helps!

@fath – You can use it for whatever you want! Coding the blog or applying the skin to a CMS is up to you though. Hopefully i’ll get around to building a WP theme from Broom Cupboard one day…

@ianyates: Awesome! And good luck, I’m looking forward to it. :)

very nice design

Is it possible to provide more color schemes? I’m looking for some light colors instead of that quite dark brown (maybe a light blue?).

@bogdan_bh – Adding color schemes would be a simple addition to the theme, i’ll see what I can do. As always though, i’ll first have to find the time…!

Purchased and a very nice nice work you’ve done ianyates.

I think coulour variation would be a great features. I need to do it in an #738287 color style, blue/grey.

Maybe in a future release !

Very cool template! Thanks! I have very small problem withe the tabs: For about one second the content is shown on one page, then the tabs appears and it works how it should…

ianyates

Hmm, not sure why you’re getting this problem – it’s not something I’ve seen.. (anyone else?)

I would probably refer you to the author of the tabber script at http://www.barelyfitz.com/projects/tabber/. Maybe there’s some documentation there on your issue.

Hope you’re enjoying the file anyway!

Please excuse my ignorance but what CMS would you recommend we use with this?

I really like all the admin themes here but I am just a little lost as to how to actually apply them to a site with logins and users etc. Really well done thought!

ianyates

It’s entirely up to you.. If you’re competent with a server side scripting language, such as php, then your best bet would be to build the CMS yourself.

Nettuts+ has loads of tuts to help you with this, including this PLUS tutorial Build a Custom CMS Using PHP and MySQLi. That would be a good place to start ;-)

Wow! Great job! Question: if I purchase your design, will I be you able to “remove” the tabber script without disturbing the main html/css code? I think it would be better if I just use the tabs as regular links opening new pages…

Thanks for your time!

ianyates

You could remove the tabber.js if you want – the tabber.css would take care of styling the menu in the same way. You’d just have to make sure you built your navigation like this:

<ul class=”tabbernav”> <li> <a href=””>Tab title</a> </li> <li class=”tabberactive”> <a href=””>Tab title active</a> </li> <li> <a href=””>Tab title</a> </li> </ul>

This mark-up is usually created by the javascript, so the HTML files currently supplied with the template look different – and would be a bit messy without the tabber.js

I haven’t tried this, but let me know how you get on!

I see. OK, well I am very interested in your design. I will purchase it. Just pardon the couple of questions:

I see you use custom buttons. I intend to use the design for my own CMS , based in PHP . Will I be able to use your buttons designs for “submit validations” via these buttons?? Or because of their design, they can’t work as buttons per se?

Is it messy to change the style of the datepicker? I am asking this because with the previous Admin Skin (which I also bought here in themeforest.net) I wasn’t able to do…

Thanks for your time and support!

ianyates

The <button> elements are based on Cameron Moll’s bullet-proof button, the css for which can also easily be applied to <input type=”submit”> and <a> elements.

As for the datepicker, you’ll find a datePicker.css in the “assets” directory which deals exclusively with styling the calendar. Easy!

Hope that helps :)

Is it compatible with IE8 ?

I am about to purchase your design, is it compatible with IE8 ? (It says “unknown” on the features sidebar, right side… thanks!

ianyates

Hi kulander, thanks for your interest in Broom Cupboard :)

I’ve since tested the theme in IE8 and there are no problems whatsoever. It should be good to go..

Also, if I include a modal box, will it affect the already-included jQuery plugins?? Or will you implement a modal box??

ianyates

There are millions of things I could incorporate into the theme, but for the time being it stays as it is.. If you implement a modal box/lightbox I wouldn’t expect there to be any issues, these scripts tend to be pretty non-intrusive. Good luck!

I would like to see more samples of using checkboxes and radio buttons – the theme does not seem to take kindly to them, not with a bit of work on our end, anyway.

I’ve had no problems adding this to an ASP .NET Master Page. I say check your javascript.

The live demo is a 404:

The requested URL /demo/broom_cupboard/1.html was not found on this server.

ianyates

Oops – thanks for the heads up! I thought the live demos were hosted by Themeforest nowadays (removed my own ages ago… d’oh!) Fixed :)

hi this is GD singh

i am having some problem in datepicker, when we generate input field from javascript, date calender is not working through javascript. it is working properly when we using this in body tag, But showing problem when we are generating through Javascript. Please tell me what kind of problem is this & can i use datepicker on inputfield through javascript.

Awaiting your reply. Thanks

ianyates

Hi GD singh – the datepicker script is the work of Kelvin Luck, you can check out the home page for it here. If you’re having problems with it I think your best bet is to rifle through the issues list or drop Kelvin a line directly. I hope that helps!
