Multiply - Blog and Portfolio HTML/CSS Templates

Hi Aristide,

I can’t see any reason why the other jquery popup’s wouldn’t work. Are you trying to use a different one because you can’t get top-up to have a contact form in it? Are you using AJAX to pull in the contact form?

There should be no compatibility issues as the template is HTML CSS and Javascript, nothing special. I’ve emailed you directly to see what I can do, but when it comes to changing major functionality such as the pop up scripts, it takes quite a bit of time to get them working then test them through major browsers including IE6 .

Kind regards,

Ben

Hi Adam,

Specific filters work with the index page only, the other pages are for none Javascript support. Simply click the navigation at the top of the page the index page.

Hi Louis,

The next version is still under development. I can’t see it coming out for a while. As for the blog instructions. This is purely an HTML CSS template. There is no dynamic content besides the items such as twitter feeds/videos which are pulled in via Javascript.

There are many great CMS ’s out there which this template can be used with for blogging. I personally use expression engine, but they all have varying ways of being set up.

There are no specific instructions for setting up a blog, the best thing to do is to do research into your preferred blogging tool. There is normally a great deal of documentation to do with the major blog/cms tools.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Ben! I pretty much figured it’s mostly html/css, but figured I’d ask in case you do have something within the template that can import blogs. I’ve heard of Expression Engine but haven’t checked it out yet, I was told by a friend who said I’d like it…my php knowledge is very limited.

Hi Louis, Glad to hear your sorted. Expression engine is great. Not a great deal of PHP knowledge needed for initial set up (unlike WP) but the tag’s for drawing in content do take a while to master.

Hi Cheffley,

Thank you for your nice comments. Word press theme is under development, but I’m currently under so many deadlines at the moment I wouldn’t hold your breath for a release in the near future!

Hi got light. This shouldn’t be too much of a problem, if your using a cms like expression engine you’d simply remove the JavaScript for the popups and replace it in your cms template with a link to your single gallery page.

Hi bjsiv,

There is not option in the template as default to change your standard filter. I would recommend taking a look at the onload.js file, under the masonry snippet. Masonry is the framework to which there filtering and animation for the template is based. There is some great documentation on it’s site (just google masonry jquery).

I’m sorry to say that there is not an easier answer. The template is built as is. As with all templates you download it’s can’t be everything to everyone. Hope that Ive pointed you in the right direction and look forward to you finding a solution. When you do, let us know and I’ll add it into the next build.

Hi Unityweb,

This would require a little jquery wizardry. If your Jquery’s up to scratch you should be able to make a call to auto filter on page load. I’ll have a little look into it for you, but if you pose this question on a couple of places such as http://stackoverflow.com/ they should be able to come too your aid a little faster as they prowl in greater numbers over there so I hear.

Hi bcworkshop,

The simplest way is to find the curl.jpg image in the images folder. Change this to all white with a slight grey bottom and resave it. This will replace the page curl image. You can change this image to whatever you wish as long as it remains the same proportions.

Hope this helps.

Hi Zoieso,

Thank you for purchasing multiply. The multiply template is purely a HTML CSS JS template. The form will require linking up to a content management system, or hosting a PHP mail script on your server.

There are many tutorials which will help you set up the form with a PHP script, just google “setting up a contact form using PHP ”. The form itself is a simple shell which just carries styling. There is no live functionality behind it as default, because there are multiple ways of setting up a contact form, all methods require server sides scripts.

Hope this helped. Let me know how you get on.

Hi Camolez!

Thank you for your purchase! And hello from England!

Zoieso (see above) just implemented a php contact form using the templaet. I would recommend messaging him, I’m sure if you ask nicely you’ll be able to borrow his php files, or he may even point you to the tutorial he used.

If not, there are a lot of php contact form tutorials on the web. Any of them should aid you. Contact forms are a bit tricky for a complete web novice though!

I’m currently working on a new template, complete with dark option, so do keep an eye out for that!

Hi Dhrylanton,

You can do this quite quickly with media queries, something like this:

/* iPhone [portrait + landscape] */ @media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) { #wrapper { width: 480px; } }

I’ve not tested it but it’ll give you an idea about what you’ll need to do.

Hi Ianstudio,

Multiply uses the fantastic jquery code from jQuery Masonry found here: http://masonry.desandro.com/

Sadly the main code base has now been retired with a new base called Isotope developed. The creators have also removed the category filtering examples which would have made this a lot easier!

Sorry for any inconvenience caused because of this.
