Thanks for the superb template! I am trying to change the white background color of “The Latest” Section. I am editing “frontpage-b” if that helps. Thanks
Checkout components.css line 1557 where the background is specified as white for the #latest style block.
okay thanks. I should have kept looking in the file. For some reason I couldn’t locate it. Thanks man.
You’re welcome.
Oh I see,
Last question bro. How do I call up the modal window? I can’t find any documentation on that.
You would need to add the class of “colorbox” to an anchor link that surrounds an image, and then when that link is clicked it will show the image in a modal lightbox as opposed to navigating to it.
no, if the theme is $con_color = “xenon”; //blue and I want the back ground color of the div to match that theme. Then If I change the theme to $con_color = “plutonium”; //orange my div adjusts to that.
You need to create the div and give it a class that corresponds with the color, and then in the css/colors.css file you can specify what the background color of the div is for each of the color schemes.
Hello? Do you have a form for this? I’ve can’t find the styled form that you would use for this.
Also I’m using fancybox, is there a way to have the CSS I use the css of the applyed theme?
There actually is not a form that comes with this unfortunately. You’ll have to build your own.
I’m not sure how to answer your second question. What do you mean by the applied theme?
Like if I have a div with a background I’d like to change with the as I change the various themes.
So you would have a div with a css class that has a background image, and when you change themes you want the div to retain the same background image? Is that correct?
Hey Brian, Currently, the breaking news on top is dropped down. Any way that I can hide it and only drop down when viewers click on it?
Thx
Open up js/custom.js and locate the following code on line 2:
$('.demo').hide(); // this is for demo purposes only. you can disregard this line.
Now add this code directly after that line of code:
$('#breaking-wrapper').hide();
(hit enter and put it on a new line)
this is too awesome. it’s would certainly take a real IT idiot not to be able to love your work! Thanks!!
Hi Brian, One word to describe your work – Marvelous! One word to describe others who don’t really understand what you’ve done – Noob! For 15 bucks, I think you’ve solved a lot of time for others! At least you’ve created a fantastic base or framework for us to leverage on & to further develop. There’s a saying that goes..”Blame the user, not the tool, fool!”
Thumbs up, really!
Think I’ll be using this testimonial on my site… 
keep up the good work!
Hi there, thanks for this great theme – brilliant value for the cost and love the lively dynamic feel to it. I do have one small question – I cant seem to find the code relating to the speed at which the spotlight feature changes – just looking to slow it down a little. Could you point it out to me? – many thanks.
Continuum Options >> Front Page >> Slide Duration
Brian – love the theme, picked it up today. I am new to this and I just wanted to know how to add the images to the front page. In other words, in the spotlight, the post displays, but how can I get the image to display?
Sorry if this isn’t very descriptive but if you look at your demo, I can’t get the thumbnails or the pictures that go along with the post to appear.
Thanks,
Phil
Hi Phil,
Just give each post a Featured Image and it will display as the thumbnail. The Featured Image is usually located in the right-hand column towards the bottom of the post edit screen.
Thanks, Brian
next to the logo, which is what I meant, LOL . Not title/heading. I was very tired last night. The template does look fantastic, I will buy the html. thank you,
trox
Ah yes, you can just remove the ad that sits next to the logo and add in a logo image that is 960px wide (the logo can be centered within this image). If you want to center it using css, you would add the following style to the logo link inside of the logo wrapper:
{
margin:0px auto;
width:[the width of your logo image]
}
Hey there Brian,
could you tell me the difference in the html version and the WP version? Is one easier to modify than the other? or is one faster for the user to look at?Also, can the title/heading be centered if you take out the ‘tutorial bar’ thingy?
thanks a lot
trox
They are totally different versions. One can only be used with Wordpress. The HTML version is just straight php/html files that can stand alone without a CMS . Same designs on both. If you’re not using it with Wordpress, get the HTML version. What tutorial bar?
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this file. It appears impossible to change out the images in the template in the HTML version. The template is set up to pull the images from another online server. I have no clue as to why anyone would do this. Most templates are extremely easy to switch out the images and are plug and play. I don’t know why the author chose to structure it this way, but all I know is that it just does not work.
Not user friendly.
It’s as easy as replacing the image URL . I used links to my WP version’s images so I wouldn’t bloat the file with tons of unnecessary images that the user was going to change anyway. Besides, copyright law says I can’t include the images with the downloadable product unless I own the rights to the photos. So, either you need to brush up on your basic HTML , or your copyright law. And I’d throw in some lessons on wrongly bashing a theme publicly. That’s never going to get you anywhere.
I am very happy with this theme Brian. There are lots of really good features and everything works great. Many thanks, Tony.
That’s great to hear! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
Hi,
We’ve mistakenly purchased the html theme instead of the wordpress one, is it possible to switch the item and just put additional $20 instead of puchasing the wordpress theme?
Thanks! Erwin
Send me an email at brianmcculloh@gmail.com and we can discuss it further.
Hi
Many thanks for your response on my YouTube overlay request.
Yes this is exactly what I need so if you can send me instructions I would be extremely grateful, and will purchase immediately, have a feeling I will need 3 or 4 licenses
I will respond to your email.
Just bought this template, it of a very high standard, $15 for what would take me about a month of my spare design time. I think the whole PHP /HTML issues from earlier comes with a lack of understand of what the author is trying to do.
What Brian has done it use PHP include files so that you can edit a HTML file in one central place without having to change it on every page.
One example, next year when you need to change the year of your copy write on your page footer, you could replace it 350 times for every page on your site, or once in the PHP includes footer file. This small change alone would take hours with the pure HTML method and seconds through the PHP includes option.
When I spotted this for Wordpress I almost bought it to take apart for a pure HTML /CSS site, I nearly fell off my chair with excitement when I saw a HTML version.
My hat goes off to your sir!
You have no idea how good it is to read a comment from someone who understands what I was trying to do. I’m glad I was able to provide you with something that will save you so much time. Thanks so much for the kind words! I only hope the guy that was giving me so much trouble comes back and reads your comment
Let me know if you have any specific questions about the theme.
Brian
Both php and html versions are included now?
yes. the html version is inside a folder called html.
Removed the html and replaced with shortcodes, the shortcodes go only half way across the width of the page am I using the wrong code:
div id=feed-panel-wrapper, div class=latest-wrapper, div class=left-panel, div class=content
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
You shouldn’t have to change any html. Just put the shortcodes in the body of the page edit screen for that particular page and the columns should show up there.
Hi Brian
Thanks for a lovely theme.
Is there a way of having the frontpage with the spotlight slider combined with page columns?
When I put a full width page content into one of the html frontpages, it does not show correctly. Can you please advise.
Many thanks.
You should just be able to create a page with the front page template and then enter content into the page content and it will show below the slider. Then, in the page content, if you add column shortcodes, they should show up correctly. Are you having trouble with this?
php and html versions are included sounds like a bargain to me.
I think so!
wow whats with all the crying about php extensions? Its just an extension and a couple includes. 2 minute adjustment to .html, sheesh.
Nice job man, purchasing this one tomorrow.
I know, right? Thanks!
