Hi, first I want to release AngularJS version and then I’ll release a frontend for the Altair (it seems that is no longer possible to include frontend as a part of admin template so it will be separated template in HTML category) This frontend template should be ready in about 4-5 weeks.

Hi, thanks, now I’m working on angularJS version and a few new features for Altair (fixed footer, wysiwyg editor, search page …) I’ll release new version asap.

Great! We have been working with the template for a few days now. We are using the theme with Aurela.js (aurelia.io) which is sooo much more intuitive than Angular and future-ready re. new JS standards. Angular feels now a thing of the past and soo bloated!

A couple of pointers for this or other themes you do in the future which will save devs a lot of time, if you don’t mind, that is:

- Leave all custom code out of the the main libraries. You have things like kendoui.custom.min,js, uikit_custom.min.js which makes it harder to use and manage libraries with jspm or bower. So far, we have managed to extract all your custom code out of those files and have it in separate files. This way we can use the unmodified libraries and, most importantly, update them without loosing that custom code.

- This is more for Angular, Aurelia or any modern JS framework. Try to get every component (md inputs, kendo.ui, ....) as a directive or custom html element (Aurelia calls these custom attributes). This means your init code for those components can be used anywhere within the app and, most importantly, can be initialized when the component has been bound to data. As it is now, you rely on the DOM ready events to initialize components, but this doesn’t normally play well with these frameworks.

For example, all we would have to do to render a input with your md style would be <md-input />.and all your custom init/styling code will trigger for that element.

Thanks for your work, we really enjoyed the theme! and I hope this helps

Hi, thank you for the suggestions.
You don’t need to separate custom code from concatenated/minified files. In /src/assets/js/custom/ folder you can find custom code used in Altair. All concatenation/minification is managed by gulp tasks, eg: ‘uikit_js’ – there are 3 files that have custom code (assets/js/custom/uikit_datepicker.js;assets/js/custom/uikit_timepicker.js;assets/js/custom/uikit_beforeready.js) and a few that comes with uikit (uikit package is managed by bower). You can remove some components from gulp.src and then you can run gulp uikit_js to generate uikit_custom.js and uikit_custom.min.js
About AngularJS, I’ll use custom directives for most of the components and I’ll try to use angularJS native code for every plugin used in Altair.

Hi, I’ll add this feature to my todo list, it will be included in Altair asap.

cool. will wait for it. Also have a look at the sidebar of http://wrapbootstrap.com/preview/WB09498FH

ok, thanks

Hi, I’ll add wysiwyg editor to my todo list. I’ll also add few new examples for tables. Thanks.

Hi, width/height/colors for components are defined in /assets/less/variables_mixins.less, in next update i will add themes (separated less files). Rules from these themes will override main stylesheet. It will be much easier to customize Altair.

Oops, I missed that. Nice, maybe if you can, a table of .less description (general) into documentation would be helpful. I know that you improve code, but add it on the bottom… bottom of the TODO list. Code is more important.

Hi, this feature will be added in next update (today)

• sorry for the duplicate **

Hi, thank you. I’m sorry but this is not possible at the moment, I’ll add this to my todo list.

thank you, I f you do it, It will be a pleasure to buy your template.

Hi, I’m afraid that it will take longer than I thought. I’ll try to release RTL version at the end of october.

Hi, again any news it’s almost november

Hi, I’m very sorry but RTL version won’t be ready at the end of october. I’ll try to release is before end of 2015.

Is it possible to set somewhere in a less file only the Color Pallete name? For example if someone sets red to change all blue-800 to red-800 etc?

Intresting brown, grey, blue-grey doesn’t have A100,A200,A400,A700 palete so less compile fails.

Hi, not at the moment but in next release (2-3 days) will be included theme switcher, it will be much much easier to change colors for the whole template.

Hi, I’m thinking of switching uikit sortable component to this https://bevacqua.github.io/dragula/ Could you check if this plugin works for you?

Great idea! It works fantastic smooth – booth, touch and mouse on my dell xp device with win 8.1 and chrome + on IPAD3 und IPHONE6 it works fine too,

Take it and please fix this problem it in Yukon and Tisa too,

thanks and cheers

and its avaiable for Angular too: https://github.com/realmike33/angular-dragula

Ok, thank you. I’ll include this plugin in next Altair update.

Hi, thank you for the info, I’ll fix this in next update (should be ready in a few days).

Hi, there is already included custom select box – selectize.js ( http://brianreavis.github.io/selectize.js/ ), please check http://altair.tzdthemes.com/forms_advanced.html (Advanced selects)

Hi, sorry, at the moment I’m not available for custom work.

Hi, if you have aby suggestiion/request just let me know. I’ll try to include it in Altair.

Thanks, I know that you use UIKit slider for images but check also this http://www.idangero.us/swiper | http://www.idangero.us/swiper/demos/30-lazy-load-images.html It’s touch enabled and also with API you can enable keyboard mouse etc.

Also I know thats easy someone to build it with modal, but can you add a modal login/register feature. It looks nicer to me.

Can I contact direct to you if I have some more suggestiions?

Thanks again, keep the good work.

Hi, I’ll consider adding this slider component to Altair, I’ll add login/register modal to todo list. You can send me suggestions to tzdthemes+altair@gmail.com

Hi, I’ll add chartist to my todo list for next update, code editor is already included (html editor), please open http://altair.tzdthemes.com/forms_advanced.html and scroll to bottom of the page. This editor is based on http://codemirror.net/#features so codemirror is already included in Altair. With next release I’ll make a separate code editor page. Thanks

Hi, angularJS version should be ready in about 2-3 weeks.

Great. Thank you.

can i do it with nodeJs?

Would you be able to point me to some good tuts that can teach me to do this with Node? Thanks

Hi, check this tutorials http://cwbuecheler.com/web/tutorials/2013/node-express-mongo/ http://theholmesoffice.com/how-to-build-a-simple-webpage-in-node-js/ http://howtonode.org/express-mongodb

Hi, thank you very much, frontent should be ready in about 1-2 weeks but it seems it’s not longer possible to bundle admin template and frontent template in Admin Section. Signup form is already available, click “Create an account” link at http://altair.tzdthemes.com/login.html

That is great news. I’ll pay money for a forntend template that uses the same styling. Thank you for the signup form!

Understood. Will you link the frontend from the Admin Template so we can easily find it?
