I am unable to embed Vimeo videos or YouTube videos via the embed code. Ive tried staying in HTML view only, taking off the embed code and leaving just the url. Works for YouTube, but the size of the file is not what I desire. I’ve tried for three days, different ways. Seems like it’s a lightbox issue with iframe. What can I do to work around? I want my videos to be larger than the default 500x size. Thanks

you are not suppose to use the embed code for for youtube and vimeo. check out the included directions for adding your videos. no embed code is needed. It also show how to make the videos the size you need.

Hello mlando,

I bought your theme and am using it to build my portfolio website. Looks amazing.

I have two issues though, if you could help me with.

Firstly The text in the tiles no doubt relates to what you type in the blog post. Is it possible to make the text in the tiles respect the formatting? Not much, at the very least, I want sentences to go to the next line.

For eg…In the blog post, the following text…

Credits •Technical Director •Videographer

‘Name of show’ has been running for # years.

Becomes…

Credits •Technical Director •Videographer ‘Name of show’ has been running for # years….

In the tile I’d like “name of show…” to be either on the next line or low enough for more details to appear before it.

Is that possible?

And Secondly

I would like the default home page to be linked to Category All and not Featured in the lightbox. I had featured removed because I didn’t need it, but when you open up the webpage, the lightbox still shows only a limited no. of tiles that are featured.

I Would really appreciate your input on this.

Thanks Floyd Fernandes

Quick way to do 1. is to use simple html in the excerpt field <br /> for a line break. I believe that will work for simple line breaks

2. in the theme option you may be able to just add the portfolio ID # for the feature field.

Default-user

Alright so no.1 worked perfectly.

However for no. 2 . Added the portfolio Id to Featured but it doesn’t work. Is it just possible to make the homepage load by default on category All.

Also, good job on the acoustic covers.

mlando

It actually does work but the navigation logic would have to be redone. this is in header.php it will need some customizing

Great theme – thanks. 2 Questions: 1. is there a way to switch the functions of clicking on the thumbnail vs clicking on the play/enlarge button? I’d like clicking the thumbnail to play the vid (or show the fullsize image, if it’s an image). I would then change the image for the play button to something like “more info”. 2. once the lightbox is invoked, whether reversed as above or not, can images be set to display at full size by default (rather than scaled to the window)? Similarly, can videos default to full screen? I’ve read through the discussions and know how to set a specific size for vids, but that won’t translate across devices as well as full screen.

Thanks in advance.

mlando

1. it would take a bit of customizing on multiple files to do this. Not something easily explained inan email. 2. the image displays within the functionality of the lightbox (prettyphoto). The script that controls it is in the scpript/folio.js. You can add settings that are available on the prettyphoto website but it only does what it can do.. which is to the window size. Video… I don’t believe it can but you may be able to append the link per youtube and vimeo… like appending the size. It would take a little research and testing.

Greetings,

Another satisfied client; thank you.

...one question:

Is it possible to have more than 99 images to be shown in a single category?

mlando

Never tried, but I would expect a performance hit. I would recommend using subcategories..

Thanks for your hel a couple of threads back. New problem: when I have a portfolio item that’s taller than the screen allows, it’s impossible to scroll down. Or sometimes it will scroll just a little, then freeze the image and no further scrolling (up or down) will work. For an example: http://targetdev.pocketstudios.com/category/portfolio/printing-and-design/ Any of the items on the 2nd row are will be too tall for most screens. I know these images are being displayed pretty large (client request), but even if that was negotiable, they’d have to be pretty small to make sure they wouldn’t need scrolling on ANY monitor.

Also, is it possible to display the close box top right instead of bottom right? Even if it floated over the image, that would be okay.

Thanks again for the help and the great theme.

One more question: what’s the correct format for setting width and height for youtube videos? Adding “&width=640&height=480” works fine for vimeo, but when using the address bar url for youtube, that format for width and height doesn’t work. I get an error message “Image cannot be loaded. Make sure the path is correct and image exist” when trying to play.

mlando

Youtube: take the link from the browser address bar and add
&width=980&height=500
where you see the & use &amp as it is not formatting correctly in this forum

I’ve noticed that the videos (I think just Vimeo) do not work in lightbox on iPad/iPad Mini, even in your live demo. Is there a fix? or have I missed something.

Thanks Naz

Sorry, this is an older theme and is not optimized for mobile.

hello, I’m a regular user of Folioflip. Good job. On the main page, I would like to disable the + link (hide it and unlink) as I don’t want the thumbnails to get bigger. In which file do I modify this ?

Also, when I flip a thumbnail, I want to change the text of “more details”. In which file is it ?

Kind regards

mlando

You can add display none to the: .zoom, .zoom-mov class in styles line 993. the more info you will find in the all-categories.php, and index.pho 3 spots in both

Is there an XML import file to make this install look like the one that is in the demo on the ThemeForest live view? I love to get it if possible.

how can I make the excerpt longer? My flipped image returns just two rows/quarter of the text written, approximately 100 cgaracters. How can I do it longer? In function.php i cannot understand how the limit $num+1 works.

mlando

look in the all-categories.php, index.-php for the excerpt tag. you will see a number in the ( ) to change

Hi mlando,

How do I use code within the code editor to retrieve the ALT text for an image attachment (media library) to be displayed?

Tks!

P.S. Also sent you an email on this.
