It’s probably a JavaScript error that is interfering with the form, can you send a link to the page?

OK..Where do I start

Firstly, I would suggest being a novice to open the help file and give it a read through, even if it’s not all relevant it might help grasp how the template works.

Now for your questions:

1: Using the about us page. What I would suggest here is to duplicate the about.html page file and rename it something else like reference.html. (it’s an idea to do this for all pages you make, so you can still refer to the original.) Now open the original file, to start with a blank canvas delete all the code inside the content area which is wrapped inside the div with class="full-width-transparent ". You will be left with this:

<div class="content-inner">
<div class="full-width-transparent clearfix"> 
...
</div>
</div>

Now, copy bits of code from the reference.html file and paste what you need into the empty space. We have comments in the HTML so you know where to copy from.

2: You can create links to any page by wrapping text or images in an a tag and putting a link to your page name. Like this for example:

<a href="about.html">Link goes to my about us page</a>

3(a): Similar to above the text inside the a tags is the text to change to the navigation area. Open all your files and locate the ul with id="horz-nav-ul". Here you can see a list with many links in it. Change the text inside the a tag. There is more information in the help doc for this and how to remove a link.

3 (b) You will need to remove the links to non required pages. again this is in help doc.

3© I’m not sure what you mean exactly. If you want to link to the page with your gallery on it, then it’s the same as above you need to tell the link to go to your page name eg: portfolio.html.

3 (d) There are many different types of portfolio layouts. Choose the one you like and repeat the process of 1. – duplicate the page and keep the original. Now edit the image links inside the img tag so that they point to your new images. I would recommend using the same image location as the examples are in. EG: using a 5 col layout. Image thumbnails are located in images/portfolio/5colums and the pop up images are located in the images/popup folder. The file sizes are in the help doc.

I hope this helps you a bit, but you really need to learn some basic HTML for this template. We can’t really teach you HTML for support. Otherwise you can hold out for the WordPress version which will be available soon. The great thing about WordPress is you don’t need to learn code, just click buttons. With an HTML template it’s more difficult with no experience.

Good luck. Please get in touch if you have more questions.

Hi,

You don’t need Dreamweaver, you can use any text editor (even Notepad) to open the files, it will be easier editing with software like Dreamweaver though. If you are looking for a free text editor for Windows I recommend Notepad++.

If you’ve not found the help files yet, open the file documentation/index.html – it should open in your web browser. There is step by step guide to changing most parts of the site. The help is based on searching for small parts of text to find the correct place to make changes, all text editors will have a search function to help you do this.

The files you need to upload are in the template/ folder, index.html is the home page and the rest you can probably work out from the file names. You should also upload all the subfolders in here, for the images, scripts and the contact form files.

Hopefully this will get you started, feel free to ask if you are still having trouble.

The Cufon font for titles does not include the Japanese characters, so you’ll need to disable Cufon. You can do that in js/scripts.js find this line:

Cufon.replace('h1, h2, h3, h4, h5');

and delete it.

Alternatively you can generate your own Cufon font file from http://cufon.shoqolate.com/generate/ and replacing the code for the 2 fonts from around about the middle of js/plugins.js (it’s commented) with the JavaScript for the font that you generate from that site.

If it’s the content or navigation font that is not working you may need to change the font family in the stylesheet. Open css/styles.css and search for “font-family” then change the font names to a font more suitable for your language.

Regards, TC

If you look in scripts.js you’ll find a line that looks like this, you can just remove the line or comment it out.

Cufon.replace('h1, h2, h3, h4, h5');

If you want to use another Cufon font, keep this line in and instead replace the 2 existing Cufon fonts from inside plugins.js (lines 341 and 359).

Perhaps you could detect a mobile phone with JavaScript and have a different list of background images (resized for mobile) in scripts.js if you detect one. There are plenty of code snippets on the web to do this.

Great job with the site

Storm is not a WordPress theme, it’s an HTML / CSS template.

If you go to scripts.js and remove the lines shown below.

// Create the gallery rollover effect
$('li.one-portfolio-item a').append(
    $('<div class="portfolio-hover"></div>').css({ opacity: 0, display: 'block' })
).hover(function() {
    $(this).find('.portfolio-hover').stop().fadeTo(400, 0.6);
}, function() {
    $(this).find('.portfolio-hover').stop().fadeTo(400, 0.0);
});

Hi

The image will be resized to fit inside the user’s browser window, however this size will vary between different computers due to different screen resolutions. If the resolution is too narrow, the image will be clipped at the top and bottom. There is no way to get it resized and scaled perfectly in all resolutions, but you can change the size of your images if you think another size works better.

Hi,

We made the decision to make our iPhorm WordPress form builder before Storm WP so that Storm and Pearl would have it included. That was the cause of the delay. Now, iPhorm is finished and Storm is first on the list for 2012.

Follow us for updates on Twitter, Facebook or ThemeForest.

Beautiful, great job

Hi, thanks. We will be making a WordPress version however we have no plans for joomla at this stage. I’m sure you could find someone to create a joomla theme on Freelance Switch or Freelancer.com for a good price.

I’ve never heard of Dreamviewer. Did you mean Dreamweaver? Any HTML editor can be used to edit the files.

It will be very straight forward to make the images go to a new page instead of popping up in the light-box. Simply remove the rel= code and replace the href to point to the gallery page. If you need help later let me know.

I could even make you an arrow hover image (or something) instead of the magnifying glass.

Hi,

It will be possible but I’ll need to write the code for it and send it over for you to add in. Could you tell me;

1: Which column option are you using.
2: Where you would like the description to show. Above or below the image? Or you could have it overlaying the image either at the bottom or top?

Hi,

There is no functionality built into the blog, meaning nothing works in the HTML version as it would require server side functionality and databases to be set up. The page has only been designed so that if you required to make your own blog you could build it into a CMS or blogging tool and it would be designed like your website. The other options is updating the blog via HTML , and stripping out the comments etc.

Hi

1. Yes, you can change the menu layout and font using CSS .

2. Yes, you can configure each page to have different backgrounds, if you only have one background for a page it will be static.

3. Yes.

Regards, ThemeCatcher

Can you try using the terminal to unzip the file, as suggested on this forum post.

unzip storm-full-screen-background-template.zip

Hi,

They are all just backgrounds set in the CSS , so you could easily remove them to have the text only on top of the main page background image.

Give me a shout when your ready and I can tell you exactly what to remove.

Thanks
