Glossy - Modern Drupal Theme

Hi @Guyto, have you tried admin as username and password? no client has got that issue! please insert following characters in the password field of admin record that can be found in the users table:

$S$DDdQqiHqCfNeyCGNeJIOv/JZsdolB.Jr8JPr3LuG5VrpOTVWoWEa

and try again with admin as default user/pass.

Thanks.

Hi and thanks for your prompt reply dropletz. I get this error when trying to enter admin as username and password as password or the password you gave me:

Warning: file_put_contents() [function.file-put-contents]: Filename cannot be empty in file_unmanaged_save_data() (line 1904 of /home/content/45/8883945/html/includes/file.inc). The file could not be created.

please see this thread: http://support.dropletz.com/comment/64#comment-64

Thanks,

I got the issue resolved. I am in heaven now with this theme. SUPERBBBBBBBBBBB . You are very talented dropletz.

does clean url is enabled on your server?

The answer is yes we do have clean url enabled on our server.

please send me your website URL + admin login

It work just like the documentation stated, but I am confused why do we use portfolio item content instead of slideshow content? I got a lil confused on that one part. But the slideshow is working really great!!! Thank you so much!

PS How do you enable the 3D slideshow?

To enable 3d slideshow you just need to place ‘Front featured slideshow – piecemaker slider’ block under a region and add items to portfolio items, BTW there is some issues related to contributed “piecemaker” module so i highly recommend you to use just ‘Front featured slideshow – piecemaker slider’ till new release of this module,

Thanks.

I have been trying to access the forum but so far I have been unsuccessful. Can you please help me out. Thanks before hand.

you can place all needed styles in “sites/all/themes/glossy/css/global.css” file, also in the “sites/all/themes/glossy/css/” directory all files have a meaningful name that makes it easy to find where you must place/find styles.

I was able to find the eaxct css stylesheet that I need to modify. I have a problem though. I want to place the horizontal login bar in the “User Bar Second” region but everytime I try the user login refuses to be displayed horizontally there. I think it has to do with the width of the “User Bar Second”. Which css name controls that area in the global.css? These are the codes I used to try to make the login bar horizontal but still it refuses to be horizontal:

/* 4.2.3.4 Login block —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-——- */ #user-login-form .form-item-name { float: left; } #user-login-form .form-item-pass { float: left; } #user-login-form .form-submit { float: left; } #user-login-form { float: left; } #user-login-form li { display:none; }

you can change with of any regions or zones via theme settings UI, just navigate to “admin/appearance/settings/glossy”, click on ‘Zone and region configuration’ tab, then under ‘Header Section’ click on ‘User Zone’ then click on any region you want to customize, you can change width of any region by changing ‘Width’ value. to learn more please see Configuring Regions

Kind Regards, Carlo Carlos.

I tried everything but cannot get the user login to appear horizontal. This is my site talkconnected.com and can you tell me what I am doing wrong. I changed the Zone information as you indicated to make it be to the far top left, changed the css to make each element float to the left ex) float:left; but the user login is still not coming up horizontal. I want the username and password fields to be on one line. I tried everything. Please help

Hi, First you need to remove any suffix or prefix of user zone from Glossy admin UI, then remove any added styles to make a horizontal login block then add the following line to the global.css file that is placed under “sites/all/themes/glossy/css” directory

.zone-user #block-user-login .clearfix{clear: none; float: none !important;}
.zone-user #block-user-login .form-item, .zone-user #block-user-login .form-actions{clear: none; float: none; display: inline-block; padding: 0; margin: 0 10px 0 0}
.zone-user #block-user-login .login-options{display: none;}
.zone-user #block-user-login .form-submit{float: left; margin: 0; color: #DDDDDD}

Then find ‘glossy_helper_form_alter’ function that is placed under “sites/all/modules/glossy_helper/glossy_helper.module” file and replace it with the following:

/**
 * Implements hook_form_alter().
 */
function glossy_helper_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id){
  switch ($form_id) {
        // alternate user login block
        case 'user_login_block':
            $items = array();
            if (variable_get('user_register', USER_REGISTER_VISITORS_ADMINISTRATIVE_APPROVAL)) {
                $items[] = l(t('Join'), 'user/register', array('attributes' => array('title' => t('Create a new user account.'))));
            }
            $items[] = l(t('Lost password'), 'user/password', array('attributes' => array('title' => t('Request new password via e-mail.'))));
            $form['links'] = array('#markup' => theme('item_list', array('items' => $items, 'attributes' => array('class' => 'fancy_list'))), '#prefix' => '<div class="clearfix login-options">', '#suffix' => '</div>');
            break;
    }

    // alternate user login block
    if (strstr($form_id, 'comment_node_')) {
        $form['author']['name']['#size'] = 60;
    }
}

Finally clear the cache and enjoy Glossy

Kind Regards, Carlo Carlos.

You have been so helpful dropletz. The username and password fields are now horizontal after I followed the instructions you included here. I told all my colleagues about this site and especially about Glossy. This theme is very powerful if one knows how to tweek it. It is very modern and highly customizable. You Rock man.

Thanks dude, please don’t forgot to rate it if you are happy with it

This may sound like a silly question but I could not get it done somehow. I read the documentation that came with the theme but I cannot find the location to change the layout from a full width to a three column or other. Can you please tell me exactly where I can locate it. Also I have to say this. I have visited other sites and looked at their forum. I have to admit that not only I get a quick reply here from the author of the theme, but he is willing to provide very useful technical help. That is why I chose this theme. The Support that dropletz provides is very useful. Thanks Man.

All content on a Drupal website is stored and treated as “nodes.” A node is any posting, such as a page, poll, article, forum topic, or blog entry

2- non node pages that called “custom pages”: content of these pages are created automatically based on page callback function that hardcoded into module files, system.api.php/function/hook_menu/7”>see this to learn more

As it mentioned in Documentation on page #22, in Glossy you can change the layout of every node page in the add/edit node form – click on context tab and choose layout from right panel.

but to change the layout of non node pages you need to add new rules such as path comparison to the built in layouts that can be found in the Context UI, to learn more please see:

Kind Regards,
