Hi MagnaThemes,

I purchased this theme a couple of weeks ago and have been updating it with my own content. I am however, having trouble when it comes to adding copy to some of the sections. It seems to cut off the words on the right hand side. I have tried to fix this to no avail. Any ideas?

Best Regards, ChewyDesigns

Hello ChewyDesigns,

To be honest there are many possibilities to spoil the output of the theme, therefore I need to see your site in action for the further help. If you cannot provide an url ( maybe you are working on it locally ), feel free to zip / rar your project and send it for me in email ( info@magna-themes.com ), then I’ll do my best to find out what’s wrong.

Hi,

first of all, the theme is really nice – minimalistic, easy to manage, but still stylish. Still I have some issues with the theme:

I would like to put images in the service section like it is shown works/about me section instead of current option to put icon, which are automatically put in the grey background. How to make it happen?

Thanks in advance,

Tomas

Hello t0masu,

You need to make the css code of the services section identical to the code of the portfolio ( or the “about me” ) circles. The original codes can be found between the line 313 and 315. Feel free to replace them with the following snippet:

.icon_container { width: 260px; height: 260px;  margin-bottom: 35px; }
.icon, .icon img { width: 260px; height: 260px;  border-radius: 130px; -moz-border-radius: 130px;; -webkit-border-radius: 130px; behavior: url(PIE.htc); }

After then open the settings.css and remove the following lines:

.icon_container { border: 1px solid #272727; }
.icon { background: #272727; }

And that’s all. Now your services section should looks like the portfolio :)

Mark

Hi Mark,

thank you for the answer. Unfortunately, I have still have some issues the current question. The images are not shown as it should be – you can see it yourself http://www.peledai.lt

I tried to send you and email with my modified CSS files, but I got it back as for the error [DNS Error: Domain name not found]

MagnaThemes

Hi t0masu,

Yes, I see your issues, but I’m quite sure that you didn’t follow my guidelines properly. Ok, don’t worry, I’m still willing to help you with this issue, but we have to talk about the further details in email ( it’s safer share private information ). Did you try the info@magna-themes.com? That email address should work. Maybe a message via my profile page also can be a good solution.

Hi once again,

is it possible to make a section “clients”, there I would to show company logos and maybe write down some text. “Service” template looks ok, but how to duplicate it and make a theme to recognize it as a another page template?

Best Regards,

Tomas

MagnaThemes

I recommend you to duplicate every code related to the services section with a different ids and classes. For example:

In the html:

<div id="services"> ==> <div id="services2">
<div class="icon_container"> ==> <div class="icon_container2">
and so on...

In the css:

#services ==> #services2
.icon_container ==> .icon_container2
and so on.... 

In the menu you need to use the #services2 in the href attribute of the related item.

<li><a href="#services2">SERVICES2</a></li>

In my opinion it isn’t as difficult to achieve your idea as it seems.

Mark

Hi Mark!

I purchased your “Me” template last year and love it. I was noticing that the “my work” pages don’t seem to work on the newer iPads. It seems that the you have to multi tap the photos and the info icon to get them to function and then the tooltip stays on the screen when it opens the portfolio page. Is there any way to only tap once on the photo once to get the portfolio to open? The website I’m trying to produce is “groftdesign.com/H2test/index.html. Any help would be appreciated.

hello,

I guess I am just having trouble changing the fonts? I have them changed in my styles and stuff but it isn’t showing up on other people’s computers?

Hope you can help

Thanks!

MagnaThemes

Hello jtom24,

I think others people’s computers load the styles and fonts from their cache and this is why they don’t see the changes yet. But there are other possible causes. An url would be helpful for the further help. If you let me see your site, I’ll do my best to find out what’s wrong.

my website is www.janatom.com Thank you so much! im sure it has to do something with my @fontface maybe? I want the text to be bebaus neue and I notice it is in your font list in the files but not sure why when I change it, it doesn’t work

MagnaThemes

Hello jtom,

I just checked the source code of your site and looks like you tried to change the menu & section title fonts by editing the css, but those font families are controlled by cufon. If you want to use Bebas Neue, please follow the next steps:

1) Call the font file in the <head>:
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/fonts/BebasNeue.font.js"></script>
2) Change the font family in the Cufon.replace() function that can be found at the top of the custom.js file:
Cufon.replace('ul.menu li a, div#hidden_items ul li a',{ hover: true, fontFamily: 'BebasNeue' });
     Cufon.replace('div.title h2',{ fontFamily: 'BebasNeue' });

And that’s all.

Hi Mark,

Thank you so much for doing that. I actually wanted the text to be flipped around? so the menu bars were in the serif font and then the text/ copy was in Bebas Neue. Do I need to change the coding for that too?

MagnaThemes

Hi Jana ( I hope this is your name :) ),

Can you please send me a sketch / mock up about your idea. Maybe I misunderstand you, but I cannot image how you wanna flip the text. If you visualize it for me, I’ll do my best to help you get it work.

Mark

Yes that is my name! How do I send you a photo? I would like the “home, works, sevices…” to be in the serif font Fjord One and then the text like in servies “photography, web design, and print design” in Bebas Neue. Does that make sense?

Thank you so much

MagnaThemes

Yes, it is more clear now. There is an option called “Heading font” on the “Theme settings -> Styling” page, but unfortunately you cannot choose the Bebas Neue for the headings. Why? Because the heading fonts are controlled by the Google font library that doesn’t contain the Bebas Neue while the menu fonts are powered by custom cufon font files. I decided to use cufon for the menu, because the anti aliasing of cufon looks much better with dark backgrounds than the Google’s solution. I’m working on the synchronisation of the font families, but currently you can’t choose Bebas Neue for the headings. I’m really sorry. If you need more help, feel free to write me.

Hi Mark, I purchased your template and I like it very well. Is there a way to add a class to already visited work items?

I tried this:
$('ul.sortablePortfolio li .item_content a').click(function(){
  $(this).parents('li').addClass('visited');
});

It works but when I change category with filter option everything is unvisited. I’m not so familiar with jQuery, so please can you help me out.

Regards, Christian

MagnaThemes

If the code works well before the filtering effect, it must be good, but you need to add the code to the callback of the Quicksand too. I recommend you to paste it into the line 120:

if ( visit != "none" ) {
      $("a.link").tipTip({ delay: 100, content: visit });
}
//PASTE YOUR CODE HERE

If you wanna learn more about callbacks, feel free to check out this page:

Hi Mark, It´s possible to add the same element to two categories in portfolio items? Regards, Javi

MagnaThemes

Hello javiervo,

Yes, it is possible. You need to add a ’~’ character to the line 127 in the scripts/custom.js file:

//ORIGINAL:
var $filteredData = $data.find('li[data-type=' + $filterType + ']');

//TRY THIS:
var $filteredData = $data.find('li[data-type~=' + $filterType + ']');

After then you will be able to assign more than one category for a portfolio item. For example:

<li data-id="id-1" data-type="category1 category3">

Mark

I think this template is great. It looks good but also is written very professionally. I have found one problem that position fixed is not supported in mobile browsers. So I’ve moved hidden_menu in DOM to the top of header and add few lines in custom.js:
     /*  9. Show/hide the secondary menu
     ==========================================*/
     $(window).scroll(function(){
               var pagetop = $(this).scrollTop();
               if (pagetop >= 450) {
                         var hmenu = $('div#hidden_menu');
                         if (hmenu.css('position') != 'absolute' && hmenu.offset().top < 400) hmenu.css('position', 'absolute');
                         if (hmenu.css('position') == 'absolute') hmenu.css('top', pagetop);
                         hmenu.slideDown();
               }
               if (pagetop <= 450) {
                         $('div#hidden_menu').slideUp();
               }
     });
 

If hidden menu top position is lower than 400 then we know that browser doesn’t support fixed position. Effect is not ideal but good enough for me.

MagnaThemes

Hello yod-pl,

In fact the fixed position is supported in the most popular mobile browsers ( iPhone4+, Android 3+ ), but thank you for let us know your solution.

I’ve got just another question: sorry, but mail form in contact doesn’t work for me. I just modified error message text but other values not. It also does not work even if i only try to indicate my mail in mail.php in a ‘empty’ project… this cause i’m working on local desktop?

Hello Manuel,

The contact form doesn’t work on a local computer. It should work properly on a well configured webserver.

Hi and thanx for a great looking template!

I need to add Youtube-videos to my site. Do you have any tips on how to position and layout embedded videos and keep the neat look, and responsive functions?

Do you think it would be possible to use (for example) the services-section for youtube videos? Would it be a hassle to use that layout and styles but change the services-images to embedded youtube videos?

Thanx in advance, Jonatan

Hi! I’m a beginner and I know is a basic and stupid question but I don’t know how to resolve it. If I would link the button information on single bubbles portfolio to another page, how can I do that?. I don’t want that page open the information in the same page. Is possible? Regards ;)

Ely

MagnaThemes

Hello Ely,

I think this is not a stupid question at all. It isn’t really easy to show the portfolio details on a different page. The portfolio system of the ‘Me’ is designed to load the portfolio content via ajax therefore the portfolio_item.htm doesn’t contain the <head> section at all ( because it gets its styles from the main / parent page ). Furthermore you need to remove some lines from the custom.js otherwise the browser won’t be able to open links ( because the javascripts overwrites the default behavior of the browser ). Ok, let’s see how to open the items on a different page in some steps:

1) Open the scripts/custom.js file and remove every code from the ‘6. Portfolio: load and show item page’ section.

2) You need to remove the following code from the callback of the $holder.quicksand() function:

$('ul.sortablePortfolio li a.information').click( function(){
     Cufon.refresh();
     var source = $(this).attr("href");
     $("div#filter_wrapper").slideUp(300, function(){
           $('div.item_container').load(source, function(){
                 $('div.item').slideDown(500,function(){
                       $('.slideshow').flexslider({controlNav: false});
                       $('html,body').animate({scrollTop: $("div#portfolio").offset().top},'slow');
                       $('div.item a.close').click( function(){
                             $(this).parent('div.item').slideUp(300, function(){
                                   $('div.item_container').empty();
                                   $("div#filter_wrapper").slideDown(300);
                             });
                       return false;
                       });
                 });
           });
     });
return false;
});

3) Now you need to add the html code of the header and the footer to your portfolio items. I presume you are good in html, so you will be able to find the relevant line, but if you need help, let me know.

Generally that’s all. I hope this reply makes a sense.

Best regards,
Mark

hello, i have purchased the wordpress theme (not sure how to get to that forum) but i thought i’d ask my questions here anyways.

1. i also want to make my homepage slider larger. i tried to follow the steps you wrote to another comment, but it did not work. is there something different i should try?

2. im setting up my portfolio section and some of my photos and graphics are more vertical than horizontal, which is causing the circles to be odd shapes. Is there a way I can make it crop in on the images so that it will form a perfect circle, despite the orientation of my image? thanks!!

Hi! I seem to be having trouble with the “Works” section of the site when loading it on Firefox 10 on my Windows 8 Touch-Screen enabled notebook. I am using a mouse to navigate. However, when i mouseover each of the circles, nothing happens, and when clicking on the various sorting text links (in Firefox), it just jumps back to the top of the site. It all works fine on Chrome though. This is even happening on the Live Preview version of the template featured here. Would there be a possible fix for this in the near future? Thanks :)

MagnaThemes

Hello yonk,

To be honest I have no chance the test the site on a Windows 8 Touch-Screen enabled notebook, but I think it must be a browser or OS + Browser combo issue, because the code behind those animations is really simple. Did you try to analyze the problem with Firebug? There must be some error message. Maybe the Firefox 10 on the mentioned OS doesn’t handle the hoverIntent() function, but I’m not sure. You can make a try by changing the line 82:

//ORIGINAL:
$('ul.sortablePortfolio li .item_content ').hoverIntent(

//TRY THIS:
$('ul.sortablePortfolio li .item_content ').hover(

Honestly this issue sounds really mysterious… Can you please provide an url? If the site already active, I’ll check it and do my best to find out what’s wrong.

Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark, I’ve tried that but it didn’t make any difference sadly. There doesn’t seem to be any error on Firebug too. In fact, as mentioned, it is also affecting the Live Preview here: http://themeforest.net/item/me/full_screen_preview/1677820

MagnaThemes

Hi Yonk,

Unfortunately I don’t know what’s wrong in this case. It works well on my side and there is no any error in the Firebug. Even though it works well for me, I’ll check the entire javascript structure and refresh the old jQuery functions. Maybe this problems will be gone after the update.

Sorry to trouble you again! I also noticed another odd behaviour, also under “WORKS”. When loading the page on my android smartphone’s Chrome browser, and tapping on the circles, the mouseover blackout effect works fine, and the “i” and “link” icons appear, but when i tap on the “i”, it opens up the description and photo gallery as per normal, but the “click here for more information!” tooltip remains on, and floating above the page contents.

MagnaThemes

Honestly I never experienced this issue, but the following code may help:

$("div#tiptip_holder").hide(100);

You need to place it into the line 91 and line 145. The code must be right above this line:

var source = $(this).attr("href");

It must work, but if you have problems any problems with this process, feel free to send your project ( without project images ) for me in email ( info@magna-themes.com ) and I’ll do it for you.

Hello, I am new to themeforest and am doing sites for friends. I am very old school (html on notepad) and am wondering if this is easy to modify for a small community festival that needs a news page and event page, pictures and youtube videos, a facebook , twitter and tumbler embed. If you think it would be good for a beginner, I will be purchasing.

MagnaThemes

Hello Jyllianm,

Let me start by saying I’m very old school too :)

I think this theme is really easy to modify, but the answer is depends on you skills and goals. The site you mentioned in your comment doesn’t seem very difficult, but I don’t know your exact plan. To be honest I don’t know how to give you a valuable advise in this case.

Anyway, if you are skilled, you will be able to achieve your goals easily with the ‘Me’ theme. If you are good in html / css, it will be OK, otherwise you will have some difficulties.

Regards,
Mark
