When you insert a thumbnail image and add a caption, it gets a nice Lightbox for you to click and check the full image. But the image that opens up is the at the same size of the thumbnail, so it’s kind of pointless. So I fixed by going to ”/wp-content/themes/newstube/js/template.js” and…

Changing: ‘ $this.find(‘img’).attr(‘src’)’” />‘+

To: ‘ $this.find(‘a’).attr(‘href’)’” />‘+

Maybe you guys could make this the default behavior for a future release, since it makes a lot more sense, unless I’m missing something.

Thanks for your time!

HI Prccp,

Many thanks for you suggestion!

That’s awesome. We will apply it in the next version of NewsTube theme.

Best regards,

CactusThemes.

So I noticed that a full-sized image with caption doesn’t have a link inside the “figure”, so my code doesn’t work for that, but the code below fixes it. I’ve tried my best to keep it clean and although the changes are minimal, I’ve posted the whole part so you can locate it easily. So you can just skip the code from the message before. I hope it helps and thanks for your time again! :)

In template.js:

Original code: $(’.body-content > .wp-caption’, element).each(function(index) { var $this=$(this); $( ‘ ‘+ ‘ ‘+ ‘ $this.find(‘img’).attr(‘src’)’” />‘+ ‘ ‘$this.find(’.wp-caption-text’).text()‘ ‘+ ‘ ‘+ ‘ ‘ ).appendTo(’#cactus-lightbox-caption-content-’defaultIndex’ .swiper-wrapper’); $this.on(‘click’, function(){ $(’#cactus-lightbox-caption-content-’+defaultIndex).addClass(‘active’); return false; }); });

Change to: $(’.body-content > .wp-caption’, element).each(function(index) { var $this=$(this); if (typeof $this.find(‘a’).attr(‘href’) === “undefined” || $this.find(‘a’).attr(‘href’) === false) { var $imgurlcaption = $this.find(‘img’).attr(‘src’); } else { var $imgurlcaption = $this.find(‘a’).attr(‘href’); }; $( ‘ ‘+ ‘ ’+ ‘ ’” />‘ ‘ ‘$this.find(’.wp-caption-text’).text()‘ ‘+ ‘ ‘+ ‘ ‘ ).appendTo(’#cactus-lightbox-caption-content-’defaultIndex’ .swiper-wrapper’); $this.on(‘click’, function(){ $(’#cactus-lightbox-caption-content-’+defaultIndex).addClass(‘active’); return false; }); });

Hi

In the latest update, we updated this feature. So it will work if you set caption for the image and link it to the original media file.

Hello!

I’d like to know if the items and subitems on the mobile menu are always on show or if they’d be able to work as an accordion, showing only the main items first and than when clicking it show the subitems…

My project will have a very extensive menu, and it wouldn’t be pratical if everything was on show in the mobile menu…

Hi AtelierAlves,

Thanks for contacting us.

Currently, the mobile menu of NewsTube theme will display all menu items when user click it. And it doesn’t support to expand the sub menus when 1st-level menu is clicked.

2. Can each video shows the total number of views at the top?

3. Can a video be shared via social media?

4. I would like to show the details of a video when mouse hover.

5. Can a user log in to upload a video?

Nice theme though.

Hello, nice reply. Please, can you help look at this link, as this is what am looking at achieving – http://megawards.org/Sample.jpg

There would be a full screen/width video at the top without the menu covering the video.

Then, there would a category layout of videos and when a video is clicked, it plays below.

Also, you can see where the total views, share buttons are, above the video.

Is it something one can achieve with your theme?

Thanks a lot and looking forward to your response while preparing to buy your theme. Cheers.

Hi Gabstine,

Thanks for getting back to us.

1. For Menu: That dropdown menu style is only available on mobile devices. You can see it when you open our demo page on the mobile.

2. For full width page: We can help you make your site full width by using CSS Code feature

3. Sorry, the view count and share bar only show in the single post.

You should add an option to display Poll results all the time, even without voting and before the poll expire. Since my site doesn’t have registration enabled, people have to vote again to check results after clearing the browser’s cache. Thanks for your time. :)

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us.

We will consider your suggestion if we can implement it.

Also, you can refer this document to know more about Poll settings http://newstube.cactusthemes.com/doc/docs/other-settings/poll/

At Poll settings > Who can vote > you can choose all visitor can vote.

Best regards,

CactusThemes

Hi,

You can use this ShortCode to display the result of a poll all the time with the id of your own poll:

[cactus-poll-result id="4752"]

First of all thanks to do such a good theme. Im beginner user so for a month i didnt ask you how install things or fix error. But now still the error continue. Techv3 (if i can remember the exact name) doesnt let me to change logo. But other page let me change it. The second things i couldnt change admin Language and site language like buttom Next, Read More etc. its shows only English in General. I follow your step and still doesnt work. The other things i want to make thinner the bottom bar so i even tried with css codes but still the bottom is too large (i guess its for ads but i dont want that much big bottom of the page).

Hi,

1. To use your custom Logo, in your Front Page edit, you should use Page Template is Front Page.

2. You can change your language at Settings > Reading > Site Language Also please follow our video tutorial to translate other text (e.g. Next, Read more, etc) using PoEdit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwc0uLbvb7c (This video is recorded on University theme, but the process on NewsTube theme is similar)

3. For bottom bar, we are not clear about your point, could you please create a ticket to our Ticket System and describe more details by text/image, so we can help you better.

Best regrads,

Greetings,

I am wondering if you have full width modules available to include in a page builder page. A full width background or full width parallax background element module for example?

Hi,

Your desire seems like this layout of NewsTube http://newstube.cactusthemes.com/v5-travel/ with full-width header.

Also, please contact us in our Support System at http://ticket.cactusthemes.com/ and explain more cleary about your point (with an image) so we can help you better.

Best regards,

CactusThemes

Your support website is redirecting me to an envat api signin when I try to create a ticket.

I’m wondering if it is possible to have a full-width module in the middle of a pages content. Something that looks like this: http://prntscr.com/bz7ser only in the middle of the page, and not at the header.

Thanks for your help :)

Hi,

It is only possible if your site is already in Full Width mode, we can also help you make the body of page is full-width as well as header and footer by Custom CSS code. But if your site is in Boxed mode, it can not be full width.

Maybe, your support time has been expired, so the Support System redirected you to the Envato API page.

Thank for your understanding.

When scrolling down on mobile it brings up the sticky menu. How do I use this on mobile and no other header? I want to remove the grey box with the logo in it. The menu and logo is much nicer once scrolled down a little. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi WRTUJus,

- In order to display Sticky menu please go to Theme Options > Theme Layout > Sticky Menu choose ON, and Sticky Menu Behavior choose Always Sticky, then Save

- In order to remove the grey box with the logo on mobile view please try to add this CSS in Theme Options > General > Custom CSS

@media (max-width: 767px){
#main-nav {
    display: none;
}
}

main-menu .navbar-default.cactus-sticky-menu .navbar-nav>li>a {color: white;}

main-menu .navbar-nav>li ul li a {

color: rgb(255, 255, 255); }

Hi I’m interested in purchasing this theme. Can users via front-end create their own channels? I want to create something similar to youtube where users can create their own channels and upload their own videos to that channel.

Sorry, also, can videos be uploaded or does it have to pull in from a url?

Hi Dotcreative,

Thanks for contacting us.

Unfortunately, NewsTube does not support user creates their own channels as YouTube. User just can subcribe to channels. And user need to enter the Video URL in submit form to submit the video.

What is the difference between NewsTube and TrueMag? I’m trying to decide between the two, but I can’t get a clear grasp on what the differences are besides the premade home screens and premade layouts. Do they have the exact same features?

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in our themes.

Both NewsTube and TrueMag are powerful and flexible theme for videos.

However, TrueMag especially regards videos with great video features (video series, auto fetch video title, description… from the video source). While, NewsTube is designed to support magazine and blog as well.

For more details, you can find in our demo pages, we have listed almost theme features to help customer refer and make decisions.

With the question about the premade home screens and premade layouts, could you please clarify us more by text/image?

Again, thanks for contacting us and looking forward to hearing form you.
