Thanks. Actually, whatever you saw was the unfinished draft. It’s more or less finished now – decided to add a pretty sitemap page and the maps.

Why don’t you do what some authors do and add a selection of customer sites to your sales comments? I actually prefer to look at sites that way and of course you give google brownie points to the sites who use your theme..

One question: I have used the twitter pop-up as a place to stash an address (needed to do it). So, I just changed the title. However, on one page (the contact page) I don’t want the address and I have something else in mind. However, I want the pop-up button to be invisible. I know from firebug that if I delete the background colour the button loses its appearance, but how do I do this? Adding a css rule for the page is great, but how do you tell it to use zero colour as opposed to just changing it?

I’m not 100% sure I know what you mean and I can’t access your site anymore.

You could add a class onto the link on the contact page only like this;
<a href="#" class="hiden-pop-up" id="twitter-pop-out-trigger" />
Then add the class in the CSS doc:
.hidden-pop-up { filter: alpha(opacity=0);
   filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity=0);
   -moz-opacity: 0;
   opacity:0;}

Am I close to what you mean? This will hide the link on the contact page, but the box will still be there and the link will be click-able…

Have to say I agree with the majority of people here: the theme is a doddle to use and looks great. The only problem is finding images to use!

I have almost finished creating a site with it (only need to sort out the maps) and feel free to look ; www.pensionicani.it (it’s for a kennels and cattery in Italy).

Great photographs (!) and nicely put together Storm version, well done! :)

My God, this is not only a beautiful theme but also one of the easiest I´ve worked with. Excellent!

Hi,

just one question – is there any possible problem with using YouTube EMEBED code in this particular theme? I plan to put it there next to images in 2 or 3 column pages..

Thank in advance for your reply.

Best Regards,

Petr

There is no problem embedding a YouTube to page content. If you are wanting to add the videos to the gallery as part of the gallery that can be scrolled through, then Prettyphoto is the best choice as it will not need additional configuration. Colorbox and Fancybox support YouTube videos also, but may require additional configuration.

I’d like to ask what is the time perspective of getting this theme for wordpress (days, weeks or months?).

This theme is really great, but I need a wordpress template, so I would like to know whether it is reasonable to wait or should I look for something else.

It’s at least a couple of months away.

Quick question before I’m ready to buy this tenplate:

I want use multiple galleries where some of them have to be password restricted so they can be accessed/viewed only by users with the correct login/password while the other galleries shall be open for all visitors. Is that possible with STORM ?

Thanks, Mike

It’s possible to do that with .htaccess files, there is no code included to do this though. You’ll find tutorials on the web on how to password protect a page.

Hi, I am a photographer, I like this template for my portfolio, I don’t know anything about programming. I have been reading the posts and it seems it requires knowledge to customize it? Let me know before I buy, thank you!

I’d recommend knowledge of HTML and CSS to be able to customize it.

Sorry.. I correct my post :) For my portfolio I’m undecided between this theme and your Pearl theme.
I ask you: I can enable the buttons to filter categories, such as these

Thank you!

Hi, it’s not currently possible to do this with the Storm theme.

Hello! For my portfolio are torn between this issue and the Pearl.
I ask you: you can enable the buttons to filter categories, such as these

Thank you!

Thanks a lot

Hello ThemeCatcher great theme really so far I have only a small problem but it really disturbs me and,most important my client, here it is there is a black space ( really few pixels ) on the top of the background images tha goes away only whenI click on the minimise-button ( nomenu and footer on screen) I wold really apprciate if you tell me how to remove it many thanks in advance

In the styles.css file, search for #header-outer and remove the line

border-top: 5px solid #000000;

-webkit-background-size: cover; -moz-background-size: cover; -o-background-size: cover; background-size: cover;

Thanks for the suggestion, however these styles do not work in IE 7 or 8 or pre 3.6 Firefox. The full screen plugin included has exactly the same outcome as the CSS3 styles you suggested, but with compatibility in IE7 and 8.

ok, so i went through the installation instructions 12 times now. there is No background image rotator. There’s not even the buttons in the footer for it. Whats the deal dude? I’ve installed plenty of sites before. you script is bad?

There is nothing wrong with the script.

You need to add more than one background image for the footer controls and the slideshow functionality to activate.

Also, to answer your other comment, the resolution we have suggested allows most of the background to show in most screen resolutions while keeping the file size reasonably small. If you think about it, you can’t have a full screen background on all screen resolutions, while maintaining aspect ratio, without some of the image being clipped. You can choose your own image resolution if you want.

If you are still having problems, please post a link to the site and I will highlight any problems.

Hi,

Love the theme really happy with the way it’s worked out.

I’m trying to convert it to PHP so I can just add images to the folders and the gallery will just update with the new files.

Im having trouble with the <li class="one-portfolio-item" />, php does not recognise the <li classpart and I can’t seem to find anything on it (Mainly because I don’t know what I’m looking for)

So far I have this but it just makes one long list of images and the hover graphic doesn’t work.


<!--Portfolio content-->
            <div class="plain-black clearfix">
                <div class="portfolio prettyphoto-portfolio grid-portfolio grid-prettyphoto-portfolio clearfix">
                    <ul>

                                <?php /** settings **/
$images_dir = 'images/portfolio/Draft2/Popup/';
$thumbs_dir = 'images/portfolio/Draft2/Grid/';
$thumbs_width = 99;
$images_per_row = 1;

/** generate photo gallery **/
$image_files = get_files($images_dir);
if(count($image_files)) {
  $index = 0;
  foreach($image_files as $index?>$file) {
    $index++;
    $thumbnail_image = $thumbs_dir.$file;
    if(!file_exists($thumbnail_image)) {
      $extension = get_file_extension($thumbnail_image);
      if($extension) {
        make_thumb($images_dir.$file,$thumbnail_image,$thumbs_width);
      }
    } 
           echo '<a href="',$images_dir.$file,'"  </ul><a class="portfolio-thumb-link" rel="prettyPhoto[portfolio]"><img src="',$thumbnail_image,'" /></a>';
    if($index % $images_per_row == 0) { echo '<div class="clearfix"></div>'; }
  }
  echo '<div class="clear"></div>';
}
else {
  echo '<p>There are no images in this gallery.</p>';
}

    ?>        

                </div>
            </div>

            <!--End Portfolio content-->

Thanks for any help.

In the line where you start echo’ing out the “a” tag, you are opening the “a” tag and go straight into a closing ”/ul” then you open another “a”. You’ll need to fix that line to so that it goes “li” then “a” then “img”. Then outside of the foreach you should have the closing “ul”.

I have tested this site on the iPhone4 running iOS 5. Everything scales nicely and scrolls smoothly. It works great.

thanks TC, i solved my problem. regards…

hey, I bought this theme, its great!!!

Im having trouble on some Turkish characters with the “Comfortaa” font. Is there any solution?

thanks

Yes, you will need to regenerate the Cufon JS files from the included font file and choose the glyphs that you need from here (http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/). Note that you can upload both the regular and bold font at the same time.

Once you’ve done that, replace the existing code from lines 324 – 369 of js/plugins.js with the JS you download.

Beautiful template indeed!

Before I purchase, one question: naturally this site is designed to be viewed tablets or better yet, larger monitors. That said, how does the home page background render on an iPhone? Apple’s bug where images with a total pixel size of 2,000,000 or more shrink or won’t render at all.

Have you encountered this and is there a template work around?

Thanks. SD

Hi

We have not encountered this and we don’t have an iPhone to test it on, so there is no workaround included.

Regards, TC

TC, can you have a Flash background image for each page?

Ken

It’s not part of the template, if you wanted to do this you’d need to figure it out yourself by following web tutorial for example, it is possible though :)

So I cannot use it without WordPress under (or something like that)? DO you have a WordPress template for the blog? I really like your work in this template…. Thanks so much for any reply.

Hi, there is no Wordpress version available at the moment. We will be making it available in the future.

You can build the template into a Wordpress blog or another blog system, but this will require some coding knowledge.

Please follow us for updates on our WP version.
