hi,
beside mailchimp and campaign monitor, ist we can integrate with other custom form html?
regards zarif
Currently only Mailchimp and Campaign Monitor are supported by default. You can integrate with others if you know how to do that, and you can still use the existing form elements to do it, however this is outside the scope of our support.
We have scripts handling the submission of the forms, so all you need to do is remove a class from the form element to stop that script handling it. Then you could hook up your own.

Hi,
I love this form style http://launchkit.mediumra.re/fitness.htmlBut I have a question. Can I make the background slider? Just only background but form and wording still the same? If can, how to do this?
Thank you, Sohn
Hey Sohn,
You could do this with a little tinkering of the code. Basically you’d place an absolute positioned image slider inside the section with a width and height of 100% and a z-index of 0 so it could sit behind the text and form 
Wow! Thank you very much. I follow your instruction. Now everything works like a charm 
Thank you for your great work and great support 
Happy to help
just open a ticket on mediumrare.ticksy.com if you need help with anything else 
Hi medium_rare,
Is it easy to combine elements from other themes in the Variant builder? In other words, if I were to purchase another one of your Variant-builder-based themes, is there an easy way to mix and match components or would the CSS between each interfere?
It would be cool to have a builder that you could add more and more components to!
Thanks, Todd
Hey Todd,
We don’t recommend mixing the components as there may be unforeseen issues with the CSS of both themes competing to override. We are working toward this but at the moment, I’d give it a miss.
Craig
Figured as much. Read another answer (elsewhere, I think) you’d written about adding your own elements. I might try that.
Yeah that’s the only option at the moment. You can add and tinker with builder.html but we don’t support this.
James
How do I removed the dark overlay that is added to header images by default? My image is bright but when I load it in it adds a dark transparent overlay. Where is the css located on that?
Hey there,
You can achieve that by setting the opacity of the :before element to 0. If you’d like some more assistance you can open a ticket at mediumrare.ticksy.com 
Hi, I’d like to add 9 clients to my landing page but when they appear the two rows are too close. Any idea of how I can fix that?
Hi there,
You might be referring to the WP version of Launchkit? As you are not appearing as purchased on the HTML version.
Yes, I’m on wordpress.
You will need to contact the theme author TommusRhodus here: http://tommusrhodus.ticksy.com/
thanks 
no worries 
Love love love this, but wish there were a few more modules. Specifically, I want a slideshow with fixed text, perhaps like “Image Left” or “Image Right” but with slides instead of fixed image. Can you suggest how best to do this?
Hey there,
You could place an image slider (mentioned in documentation) in place of the static image in the image-left image-right sections.
Thanks. Yeah, it works, I just had to activate it with Javascript.
No worries 
this product is an answer to a lot of my problems, simple and easy to edit as well as affodrable,thanks alot!
Thanks so much for the comment! Glad to hear you had a great experience with our product

I am on a Mac desktop using chrome and when I try and edit elements using the CTRL+click (which would equal right click) it drags the element instead of letting me select from the menu that appears. Is there a work around for this? It’s very frustrating.
Hi there,
You’ll need to enable a natural right-click to work with Variant as there are some quirks with the CTRL + Click functionality on Macs.
Thanks, James
Having problems with the inner-link style and name attribute in links. Having problems with name attribute in links after “Cycling Quotes with Avatar” block. Otherwise a very good theme.

Hi,
Any suggestion what menu can I use to display the lnaguages supported?
Meaning, that the user can switch to a different language…
Thx
Hi there,
You might use the standard menu and place the language options in a dropdown, then separate the dropdown from the rest of the menu with a little extra padding.
That way the user can see that it’s separated from the site’s navigation.
Thx. How would you suggest to do the padding? Can you provide with an HTML example?
Hey there,
If you want to open a ticket at mediumrare.ticksy.com I can inspect your site and let you know which CSS to add 
On submitting a form, you guys hiding the submit button.
I think its ugly and very un user-friendly. User don’t understand the state of his action. Feedback is very foggy.
It would be nicer if you guys, after user submitting the form, would display a progress-bar. Some standard feedback to the user, or even changing the button state to disable, and placing the progress over it, or just display a text – “submitting the form, please wait”.
Just some ideias 
Thank you again for this great product!
Thanks for the feedback,
This will be addressed in the next update
James
Awesome and great to hear that! Love your attitude. This was one of the reasons I decided to purchase this solution. You don’t buy only a product. You purchase support as well, and your level of support is one of the best I’ve seen long time. Congrats & keep on doing that, and you will only continue on escalating.
Question: how can I stay informed regarding new releases (like this update and others)? I have opt-in to receive updates on new releases on the downloads page, but I have never received any.
Thank you!
You can follow us on Twitter where we announce item updates, sneak peeks and new items. @mrareweb 
simple question … as I edit a text block or write my own text, how can me add a new link or make certain text bold? when I select and right click text, there is not option to add a link.
also would make sense for you guys to add social media sharing blocks so that visitors can easily share the page.
Hey there,
You would need to add the link in the output HTML once you’re done editing in Variant.
Cheers for your suggestion on the social sharing integration 
u r welcome … u can check out my landing page – http://cabaranjomkurus.com
Thanks for sharing, nice work 
Awesome page builder, thank you! Quick question…after exporting the HTML file and viewing it in the browser, how come the headlines and body text doesn’t display a text cursor when you hover over it? It makes it seem like the content text is an image, but it’s actually real html text. Please help! Thanks. I’m sure this is simple.
Seems like your other page builders work fine (ie: Pivot). Must be a bug with this release, please fix. Thank you.
Hey there,
You can change this by adding this to custom.css:
h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,p,ul,li,span{ cursor: text; }
We’ll add that in for the next update too 
Thanks man! Awesome theme.
No worries, let us know if there’s anything else you need help with

Hi guys! I like very much you launchkit, thanx in advance for your care.
I have a couple of questions:
1. Is it possible to allow that the user download a file AFTER filled the form?
2. Your Launchkit generate html and php files and later we have to connect with database?
Is there any information about how it works, because we never use it
thanx a lot!
we are a bit rush 
Hi,
Yes this is possible, as you can set a success message for after they have submitted the Mail Chimp form – however due to Mail Chimp’s double opt in confirmation, you may be offering a file before the user confirms their email address. You could set up a “Confirmation – Thanks” page in Mail Chimp with the link to the file which will only be shown after the user has really confirmed the email address.
PHP files for email sending are supplied but no database connection is supplied. Mail Chimp signups are the only kind of list building offered so far.
James
Hi, is it possible to integrate mailchimp with this? Are any of your other themes/builder compatible with mailchimp?
Yes, most of our templates are – simply use the form code generated by Mail Chimp. If you are building in Variant, you simply paste that code into a dialog box (available on specific MC forms) and scripts do the rest.
James
How do I create internal pages for the site. I would like a traditional navigation with main menu and sub menu. Do i need to replicate the page, with the original menu, then design the internal page?
Hey there,
Yes, as you described, you’d duplicate the page then build the internal page 
Hi guys! These are presale questions, thanx in advance for your care. 1. Can I add my own elements to your template? E.g. I need an countdown, it seems to me you dont have one. I’ve a countdown wrote for myself, can I add it to my copy of Variant? 2. If I can, what is the best way to do it? I mean you might have some predefined sections to add custom content…
Hey there,
Thanks for considering Launchkit!
You are free to add your countdown to the HTML, but at this stage you can’t add custom blocks to Variant in the way you’ve described.
We’re still considering how best to manage custom content / code editing in Variant.
Cheers, Craig

Theme is still not working. Please refund my order
Hi there, to initiate a refund you’ll need to contact Envato support as they handle all the payments on TF and we aren’t able to offer the refund from our side.

Hi. Some doubts before purchasing.
I would love to understand the forms integration… how its implemented. Where exactly the submission goes to, and how do you configure it. Same goes to mailchimp.
Thank you!
Forms are handled by jQuery’s ajax functions meaning that they are asynchronous, and do not require a page refresh. You can set a redirect address after success and set your own success/error messages simply by changing some attributes on the form element. Those things can be done in Variant too. Settings for where the form is sent and what the email contents looks like are handled in a server-side php file called mail.php. You can easily enter settings in the file to send via an SMTP server or use php’s built in mail() function.
Mail Chimp forms are handled by embedding the form code that you get from your Mail Chimp account. To use the MC form in its default configuration, you just paste the code into a box in Variant and the form code is embedded in the page.
Try out the demo pages and see if they exhibit the behaviour you are looking for. Also check out http://launchkit.mediumra.re/variant/builder.html to see how easy it is to embed the Mailchimp form code. At this time there is no complex form editing functionality in Variant. Placeholder text, and button text can be set but validation controls must be edited after exporting to HTML from Variant.
James
Thank you Medium_Rare for your great & fast respond!! I`m happy to see that you provide great support.
Is there documentation I can see form components and behaviour? I wish to see if I would be able to play with the flow of the page.
I mean – user will reach my landing page. I`ll ask him to click if his interested. Than I wish to show another form, asking what exactly he is interested in.
How will I`ll be able to achieve that? Exist a build in option? Maybe redirect between pages? (I guess that what it is for
)
I can suggest that you could use a button at the top of the page (“what are you interested in”) – user click which one they are interested in. That links to a section in the page (via smooth scroll) which has an email form on it to collect that information. Connecting a button or any link to a section is simple in Variant. Simply rename the section on the toolbar at the left had side and you then get to choose that section you renamed from the drop-down list on the “edit link” dialog box.
Also, if you add ?ref=something to the URL of any launchkit page, each form will automatically be updated with a hidden “referrer” field and the word “something” will be passed through to you when the form is sent. This is in the documentation at http://launchkit.mediumra.re/docs/launchkit_docs/index.html
Hope this helps. James
This is a minor cosmetic thing….
on this page (http://launchkit.mediumra.re/index.html) is it possible to get the big rounded “build yours” button to be squared off like the “start your free trial” button further down the page?
Looking for some consistency.
Thank you in advance!
Hey there,
You can do this by adding some custom style to custom.css:
nav .btn{ border-radius: 3px; }
That’ll give it the same roundness as the form button
