Matrix - Responsive Tile-Based Template

Didn’t see this question anywhere. When a fancy box overlay is invoked, if the View more -> link happens to be over the quotes tile the URL that the View more -> changes to the next lightbox.

Tried changing z-indexes but didn’t seem to help and it’s been a while since I’ve done front end work.

Love the ability to create ‘widgets’ and drop them as needed.

Again.. Great Job!

Hi ekennedy6334,

Thanks for purchasing my theme! Is it possible for you to give a link to show where the problem is so that I can diagnose the problem?

Thank you.

Thanks for the quick reply!! You do provide great support for your work!

If you open the online sample:

http://themeforest.net/item/matrix-responsive-tilebased-template/full_screen_preview/2761654

Open a blog tile so that the View more -> link happens to be over the quotes tile. You may need to scroll the page depending on browser window size. (Yea it’s an odd situation!) If you get it positioned right the View more -> link will have the wrong link. Clicking will take you to the next lightbox link. I think it is something positioned over the lightbox window and not really that the link itself is changed. I just don’t know what is getting positioned over it!

Thanks again! If I can clarify more let me know.

Hi ekennedy6334,

That problem seems to occur in webkit based browsers (Chrome / Safari) only and it only happens when the tile beneath it is a flipping tile. I don’t know why those flipping tiles can ‘penetrate’ the lightbox (it only happens in webkit-based browsers) and I’ve tried different methods (z-index, display etc.) but couldn’t solve it.

So, at the moment, I can only recommend putting flipping tiles away from any links (i.e. at the left / right side of the grid of tiles) or not to use them at all. Sliding tiles would work without any problems.

Thanks for reporting and sorry about the problem.

Not a problem! Re-confirms my desire to work on the server!! :)

Thanks!

Hi, is it possible to get your sample content for this site? I’m a bit of a newbie and I think it would help me set up my site. Thanks, Ange

billyf

Hi designerange,

Thanks for your interest but since this is a HTML template, there is no ‘sample content’ available. Everything in the package is already the ‘sample’ because I can’t distribute the images used in the demo and I believe the only difference between the online demo and downloaded package is the images.

Thank you.

Billyf,

How would you recommend arranging the tiles such that they form a non-rectangular shape? A circle or pyramid, for instance.

Just to elaborate, let’s use the pyramid as an example. Let’s say that the bottom row of the pyramid contains 5 tiles. The row above it would contain 4. The row above would have 3. And so on, and so forth. All rows would be centered within the enclosing container.

I’m rather impressed with this template thus far. If the question above isn’t too much trouble to implement, I’ll certainly use this template in a project that I’m working on.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Cheers, J

Hi jludev,

Thanks for your interest in my theme! To form different shapes, you just have to use different containers. It is possible with the HTML version (which you are interested in) but it’s not practical to do so in WordPress.

It’s much easier to form a pyramid than circle because there are only 6 columns of tiles, so a circle will probably end up looking more like a ‘diamond’.

Feel free to contact me if you still have any queries.

Thank you.

Hello,

Great theme! Are there any additional plugins I need to install to have this fully functional, just like the live preview? Right now, the live tiles aren’t working for me. I don’t even see the “Tile Settings” section in the admin, and that’s left me stumped. Please help. Thanks!

Hi covenantchild,

Thanks for purchasing my theme but as a standard practise in ThemeForest, we authors cannot provide support unless a client has verified himself as a buyer.

To do that, you can either ask your queries using the account which you purchased the theme, or send the licence certificate to my email.

Thanks for your understanding and sorry for any inconveniences.

covenantchild

Thanks for getting back to me. I just sent you an email.

billyf

Hi convenantchild,

Thanks for verifying your purchase status! You don’t need any extra plugins to make a website which looks exactly like my demo using this theme. The ‘Tile Settings’ section is just below the post editor in the Post Edit screen (where you Edit / Add new post).

If it is still not there, can I have access to your WP admin panel to check out the problem?

Thank you.

covenantchild

Thanks! I was able to figure it out. Now, how do I remove a post’s tile from the frontpage?

billyf

Hello,

You can only do that by some code modifications. You need to assign the posts which you don’t want to appear at the homepage to a category and add the following code at the top of index.php : query_posts( ‘cat=-1’ );

In the example given above, 1 is the ID of the category which you want to hide from the homepage. You need to change it to the ID of your category.

Thank you.

covenantchild

Thanks so much. As I said before, awesome theme. Really makes my site look awesome :-)

Thank you for your time.

Where do I go to or how do I customize the toggle bar (bar with the ) color when it is normal, hovered over, when its click and the content show, and when it closes back? How do I change (customize) the indicators ( and – ) ?

Also when I add text to the span, when I open or close the toggle the text disappears. How do I fix that?

Also when view it initially in portrait its fills the whole screen of the phone but when I go landscape back to portrait it does not fill the screen. There is white space on the right side . How do I fix that?

Thanks for any assistance you could give.  By the way the template is still awesome.

Please see my reply on another comment. I guess this has been double-posted due to some technical problems.

Thanks.

Hello atruindividual,

Thanks for purchasing my theme! The + and – symbols at the toggle bar has to be modified at scripts/javascript.js at line 113 because it is not commonly modified by buyers (there are less than 5 requests for help on this up to this moment). You need to add your text in this code in order to prevent your text from getting replaced by what has been defined here.

As for the problem with switching between views, does that happen to your website only or it also happens on the live demo? I have just tried at my phone and I did not see any problems there. If it happens only on your website, can I have your website’s URL?

If there’s still any problems, feel free to contact me again.

Thank you.

I noticed from the live preview this is using JQuery 1.6.1, can this be updated to 1.9.1 without breaking any of the features?

billyf

Hi kbeezie,

Thanks for your interest in my theme :) I have not tried it out with jQuery V1.9.1 yet and I’ll do that this weekend. If I haven’t given any reply next week, please remind me as I might have forgotten to test it because of all the work I have at the moment.

If you still have any queries, feel free to contact me again.

Thank you.

kbeezie

I noticed your wordpress based theme off this is 1.3 and is using Jquery 1.8.3, would it be safe to say that if I purchased the non-wordpress version and upgraded jquery to 1.8.3 from 1.6.1 that it should in theory work all the same?

I’m mainly concerned because if I decide to use other plugins or write up my own modifications most of the documentation and other codes appear to be deprecated after ~1.7 if I upgrade the jquery version itself.

billyf

Hi kbeezie,

In that case, it is safe to say that the theme can run with jQuery 1.8.3 because both versions use the same scripts at the frontend.

If there’s any problems, don’t hesitate to contact me again.

Thank you.

Hi! This is an amazing template! Are you able to provide contact information of the authors of the images you used on the live demo?

billyf

Hi rvlira,

The sources of the images used in the live demo are provided at the bottom of the item’s page, as well as the documentation. You can follow it to the source and contact the author via those places.

Thank you.

Hi,

Could you please tell me where I can change the colour of the space that surrounds the Lightbox. I would like to change it from white to black if possible.

Thanks :)

billyf

Hi courtneynovits,

Thanks for purchasing my theme :) To change that, you just need to paste the following code in Theme Options > Custom Style (change the colour to anything you want) :
.home #fancybox-content, .search #fancybox-content, .archive #fancybox-content{
border-color:#fff;
}

Thank you.

Default-user

Hi billyf,

Thank you for such a quick reply.

Is this info for the Wordpress version? I purchased the HTML and CSS template. Which file do I change in this version?

Thanks,

Courtney
