Minim - Portfolio/Small Business WordPress Theme

Sweet. Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions!

The theme doesn’t have a rtl.css file…so no. sorry. Would probably take quite some time to create one, I might consider doing so in the future if the demand is higher.

Thank you for the interest.

Hi,

Thank you for the purchase.

1. To be honest I never tested the subcategories. It’s a pretty easy fix though. You need to change the “hierarchical” parameter for the category lists to 0 or false. This way they won’t be displayed as separate UL’s. I’ve just updated my theme to fix this issue. If you want to contact me via my profile page I’ll send you the update.

2. Not all scripts can be minified. I do see a couple though I must have forgotten to minify which I will be updating right now and I can send you the updated js files. So you can un-select the option from the chaching plugin.

3. You’ll need to add another parameter to the javascript to define your theme.

theme: 'pp_default', /* light_rounded / dark_rounded / light_square / dark_square / facebook */

example of how to do so in jquery.init (lines 87-93)

$(".prettyphoto-link").prettyPhoto({
                                theme: 'dark_square', 
                animation_speed:'normal',
                allow_resize: true,
                keyboard_shortcuts: true,
                show_title: false,
                social_tools: false,
                autoplay_slideshow: false
            });

4. You can create multiple portfolio pages by using the category structure. If what you are looking is to have a 3 layer portfolio with all > category > sub-category > post - it’s going to take some customization, as I don’t create my themes in this fashion as most customers prefer the other way.

I think what I can do to help accommodate your needs is add an option in the theme settings so that on portfolio categories you can choose for the drop-down menu to show only child categories of the current category as opposed to all categories. Would this help?

WPExplorer,

Many thanks prompt reply and all the great help, I have PM you with more detail.

Many Thanks

CJS

Thanks.

Oh, did you copy the code from the documentation? I need to fix that…see how I closed it with a “box” you need to close with “alert”. Also the color choices are currently only blue, green, red, yellow.
http://wpexplorer.com/premium/minim/shortcodes/

[alert color=red]Your Text[/alert]

If you want a black alert its really easy to ad though as well…you can use the color black then add some css such as this:

.alert-black{margin: 20px 0; padding: 15px; background: #000; color: #fff; }

At the moment no. I have laid out the site to have a static menu so it’s more of a simple portfolio site. If more people start requesting a widgetized sidebar I will consider adding one.

You got both working? They should be explained in the theme’s help file.

Not currently. Let me work on a widgetized sidebar option…should have it done in a few hours. I’m sure many would like this capability.

I added the option for a widgetized sidebar…you can see a live demo here: http://wpexplorer.com/premium/minin-sidebar/

The theme should be updated soon, if you get it and the option isn’t there please let me know and I can email you the latest version.

Installation guide…for what? The theme update? You can open the files mentioned in the changelog then either compare the code yourself or use a file comparison software to see what areas of the files differ – there are many great programs for this.

You mean meta options? These are pretty simple to add. You’ll need to edit the file located at functions/meta/meta-box-usage.php to add your new fields.

Then take a look at single-portfolio.php lines 14-17 to see how I set those meta options as variables for use in the theme.

The thumbnails are cropped by Wordpress upon upload and it uses the “featured image’ function so you can select which is your featured image.

Hello again! Im having problems to build the portfolio page. Although Ive figured out how the galleries work, everytime I upload the featured image, it’s added to the gallery too… I saw in the manual that it should appear a “Include featured image in gallery” but I dont have it Any ideas? Thanx in advance!

Hi,

I just checked out my files and it looks like I might have forgotten to include the meta option for this. Oups!

Please email me via my profile page so I can send you the files to update. Sorry about the inconvenience. And thank you very much for letting me know.

No prob, email sent!

It is extremely simple to add these gallery pages. These are the steps.

1. Create your page. 2. Upload your images while in the post editor for this page, so they are attachments for the post (DONT insert the images to the post, just upload) 3. Select your page template – either gallery or slides.

I am currently traveling, but I can make a video for you if that helps. But it should be that easy to do. Also you can always send my your info via my profile page so I can log into your site and see what’s up.

You’ll need to edit index.php. If you do a search for those 2 strings you can see how they are added as li elements. You should be able to simply switch the order around.

Hi! Thanks your quick reply, I can add gallery and slider page now.

Awesome

Thank you for the purchase.

The lightbox is built-in for the gallery style template:

You can see how to make these in the theme documentation.

If you want to use the lightbox script within the post editor for any post/page it’s also possible. But you must do so in HTML mode. What you need to do is click on “html” in the post editor and add the class “prettyphoto-link’ to the link attribute.

example:

<a href='LINK TO LARGE IMAGE" class="prettyphoto-link"><img src="LINK TO SMALL IMAGE" />

Does this make sense?

I can make a quick video tutorial if you don’t understand. It’s pretty easy though.

Hi,

Thanks for the purchase.

If you go to Appearance—> Theme Options, it’s one of the options near the end of the page. You can enable/disable the static sidebar, which will also enable sidebar widgets.

-AJ

The theme isn’t a “responsive” theme. Did you mean if I am going to release a responsive version?

Well more of an update then another template. Also I have another problem with the template, but I will send you an email about it.

Thank you

Sure, I’ll check it out.

Thanks.

Humm…

Currently the theme uses the SuperFish javascript plugin to make the drop-outs.

1. First you need to open functions.php and remove the Superfish enqueue statement.

2. Open style.css and remove all the sf-menu classes to remove the drop-out styles. So basically only keep the main #menu, #menu a, #menu li styling.

3. Then style your sub-menus like using #menu ul ul{ your css }

Does this help at all?

I think that would do it but which line do i remove in the functions.php – just a bit confused.

Sorry, I was traveling and didn’t have my files with me.

The lines you need to remove in functions.php are 75-76:

wp_enqueue_script('hoverIntent', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.hoverIntent.minified.js');
wp_enqueue_script('superfish', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery.superfish.js');

That loads the javascript for the slide-out drop-downs.

Also you will need to remove the following line in js/jquery.init.js (26-31)

    
         $("ul.sf-menu").superfish({ 
            delay: 600 // 0.6 second delay on mouseout 
        }); 

WOW . Nice customization man! Do you mind if I show people?

I am currently on vacation. If I get some time I can update and add a couple shortcodes for this. Any specific style you were looking for in particular?

Thanks for the compliment. Offcourse you can show it, no problem. It is still work in progress.

The tables must be simple i guess, just a small header with bold text and a color background. Same you do with the buttons with the color options.

I’ve used a great background plugin. You can change the background on every page. And today i’m going to implant google maps for the contact page. Te portfolio is going to change into a webshop. So if you click on an item in the portfolio you can order that product (wedding cards)

Have a nice vacation, thanks for your reply

Ok. I’m trying to get some internet access tonight and maybe I can update the theme with a simple table shortcode. Although in the past I’ve found these to be pretty horrible (aka, hard to use) have you tested any of the table plugins out there?

Also, what I personally prefer, if it’s your own site…to use a program like Dreamweaver to build your tables then paste the code via the post editor in “HTML” mode. That’s what I normally do

Did you use Pippins background plugin?

Good changes so far. Best wishes & happy New Year.

The demo currently runs on a Multisite installation. So yes for that.

However, the theme doesn’t have any buddypress or bbpress support built-in. Those themes typically sell for $40+

Hi,

Yes, to remove the gallery transition it’s very simple. Open the file called template-gallery.php and change (line 44) where it says:

rel="prettyPhoto[gallery]" 

to

class="prettyphoto-link" 

Great. Thanks for that.

By changing that code it kind of breaks the “pop-out image effect”...

When clicking on the image, it opens up a new page to show you the image. I still would like to keep that “pop-out image”... I just want to lose the auto transition.

I tried installing a lightbox plugin to see if that would work but no luck.

Am I asking too much!? Ha Ha.

Also,

I notice when you select Image Slider for the “template setting” you’re able to type text in the body of the page and it will show up.

When you select Image Gallery you lose the option of typing anything and having it show up on the page.

Is there a way to select Image Gallery and also keep the option of typing text and having it show up in the body of the page?

Thanks for the help.

Please contact me via my profile page and I will send you the updated file so that you can have text there – this should have been default, but I must have forgotten something.

While I’m at it, I can customize the file so it opens without the gallery setting for you.
