On the iPad and iPhone, the scroll to top function (i.e. the “TOP ^” button at the bottom right) is not working for me on your demo site. Tested iPad 1 (iOS 5.1) and iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1.1). Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Confirmed. Can you copy the code from this file and paste it into the js/plugins.js file on an empty line.

Then edit the file js/scripts.js, find this code:
// Bind any links with the class 'scroll-top' to animate the scroll to the top
var scrollElement = 'html, body';
$('html, body').each(function () {
    var initScrollTop = $(this).attr('scrollTop');
    $(this).attr('scrollTop', initScrollTop + 1);
    if ($(this).attr('scrollTop') == initScrollTop + 1) {
        scrollElement = this.nodeName.toLowerCase();
        $(this).attr('scrollTop', initScrollTop);
        return false;
    }    
});

$('a.scroll-top').click(function () {            
    if ($(scrollElement).scrollTop() > 0) {
        $(scrollElement).animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 1000);
    }            
    return false;
});
Replace it with:
// Bind any links with the class 'scroll-top' to animate the scroll to the top        
$('a.scroll-top').click(function () {
    if ($.isFunction($.fn.smoothScroll)) {
        $.smoothScroll();
    }    
    return false;
});

I tested the suggested changes and it is working now on both iPhone and iPad. Thank you!

I am sorry to bother you , but I bought this template for a client and she likes everything but the hide and show media icons. I wonder if there is a way to have simple footer that always shows underneath the end of the content.

I edited my page and the looks looks right except for on a page such as about us (which is longer) it hovers above the content at the bottom of the page. Not sure if this is a easy fix.

Hi,

Add this code into the bottom of the style.css file.

.content-outer {padding-bottom: 50px;}
#footer {position: absolute; }

That should do the trick.

Hi, it’s a great template, but I was wondering, how do I change the twitter pop out box to open the facebook “like” box, shown here, instead?https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/

also, how do I have it so this facebook box is open by default?

also, I’m sure this is simple and I might have missed the explanation somewhere, but how can I use gallery .html pages besides “fullscreen” without the enlarged photos opening in a separate page?

ignore that, i figured it out! I added the jquery.easing plugin to the wrong js. thanks nonetheless!

actually, I thought I figured it out for ajax lol. I guess not; if you can help, awesome, but if not i’ll keep trying to figure it out

You’d need to add the code to call quicksand inside the ajaxCallback function of script.ajax.js. The code below is from our other template Pearl, which may work.
// Portfolio Quicksand filter
    if ($('#portfolio-filter').length) {        
        var $data = $('.portfolio ul').clone();

        $('#portfolio-filter li a').click(function () {
            $('#portfolio-filter li').removeClass('active-filter');
            var filter = $(this).data('filter');

            if (filter == 'all') {
                var $filteredData = $data.find('li.one-portfolio-item');
            } else {
                var $filteredData = $data.find('li.one-portfolio-item[data-type="'+filter+'"]');
            }

            $('.portfolio ul').quicksand($filteredData, {
                duration: 800,
                easing: 'easeInOutQuad'
            }, function () {
                $('.serene-portfolio a.portfolio-thumb-link').serene({
                    onOpen: $.fullscreen.unbindKeyboard,
                    onClose: $.fullscreen.bindKeyboard
                });
            });

            $(this).parent().addClass('active-filter');
            return false;
        });
    }

Hi Ally and All,

Not only is the Ajax driven version of “Storm” a code-master peace!

I have never experienced such a high level of support in my entire life!

On every question I got a clear answer from one of you and at the same time this was the best Ajax /Java Script explanation a person can get.

It made me really understand how it all functions and relates to each other.

Thanks a lot!

David

Awesome template, such a pleasure to work with and your customer service is out of this world. I have bought many templates from Themeforest and yours is by far the most excellent!

THANK YOU :-)

I changed the code to have plain black background on drop menu. It appears ok on background and text but does not go over the grid thumb nails. Also it works on Safari but not on Chrome. I must have deleted the code by mistake but I am not capable to find where. Could you let me know, thank you.

Hi, could you send me a link to your site so I can have a look at the code. You can post a link here or you can send it privately via our profile.

Regards, TC

Hello, I have been working on the template and so far so great. Looks really good!

Question; I want to have a still image (not streaming) as a background of fullscreem-grid page.

I read a thread “Different default background per page” but I do not understand clearly where to locate index numbers and that code per page.

Could you let me know, than you so much.

great, that works, thanks!

Also a question for the typography… How do you change the default font you have for the titles to Arial/Helvetica?

If you edit js/scripts.js, find this line and remove it:

Cufon.replace('h1, h2, h3, h4, h5');
This will disable the font replacement, the headings should then go to Arial/Helvetica, or you can change it in the CSS.

Regards, TC

I have a question about tracking.

Does this template already includes tracking or do I need to write codes from google analytics? Do you have any suggestion/

thanks

There isn’t any tracking included with the template. You’d need to paste in the code from Google Analytics.

Is it possible to add image descriptions that will be displayed in the portfolios when viewing an image?

I like the full screen gallery the most, but would consider the other choices if they allow for image descriptions. If the full screen gallery does not support image descriptions, which of the other gallery types would you recommend instead?

Our WordPress version of Storm supports image captions on the full screen gallery, if you are interested. This is not available in the HTML version.

Otherwise, I prefer Fancybox but it seems you need to make a change to the code to get the description to show. In the file js/fancybox.js, search for the line:
'speedOut': 200,
Below this add the code:
'titlePosition': 'inside',
Now you can set the description by putting a title=”My title.” attribute on the a tag that surrounds the image in the gallery.

Regards, TC

Thank you for that information. I like the look of the image captions in the WordPress full screen gallery demo, but I prefer to stick to a non-WordPress site due to my lack of familiarity with it.

I will try the suggested changes in Fancybox.

Thanks for the great looking template. Is it possible to position the navbar so that it is positioned at the very top of the screen? Right now there is a small black border at the very top, followed by a small section of the background image, then the navbar. For my site, I would like to move the navbar to the very top, and am wondering what changes I would need to make to the css or html to accomplish this.

Yes, I will ask our designer to get back to you.

Regards, TC

Hi, add this CSS to the bottom of the main stylesheet.
#header-outer {border-top: 0 none; margin-top: -15px;}

Regards, TC

Thanks! That works great!

I like this template but I just wanted to know if I could set the full screen image to be static? I will have a need for a slider in the future but for now I need it static.

Thanks

Hi, yes you can use just one image and switch off the slideshow.

Regards, TC

Ok, the problem is fixed.

I added a file .htaccess on root, which contains “SetEnv PHP_VER 5” and all works fine.

Thank you, your template is a real pleasure

Glad you fixed it :)

Hi, I just installed your template, and all works fine, except … the contact form. I believe my server doesn’t have PHP5 (only PHP4), but I’m not sure, I’m waiting his answer. Meanwhile, I’ll contact you on your personal mail and let a link on my site.

Ok, fine, it works ! Thank you

When I start index.html, and when I click on “Home”, I have the same problem : A box of the Mac Finder appears on the main window of the template ! I must tell that I didn’t started to customize te template : I just downloaded it on my disk and started “index.html”. Is there a problem with Mac ? Thank you for your help.

Please see my reply to your other comment.

Regards, TC

Hi, I’m afraid there is a little problem with the template on my Mac OS X. After clicking on “About” or “Blog” or “Contact” : when I click on “Home”, instead of displaying the Home page, it displays a box of my Finder, above the window of the template. But I must say that this phenomenon doesn’t happen when I use index.ajax instead of index (if this information can help …). Could you please help me to fix this problem ? Thanks

If you edit the page and search for href="./" (there are 2 occurrences) and change it to href="index.html" it should fix the problem. You’ll need to make this change to each page.

Regards, TC

About the photos displayed in the “Pretty Photos” gallery : is the title of the photo UNDER the photo, or ON the photo ?

In a single gallery, can I put photos of distinct sizes ?

Thank you for your help

In prettyphoto the title goes above the image. You can use any size of photo for the popup image.

Regards, TC

Hi, Loving the template. Not sure if this has been asked before, or I’m not looking in the right place, but is there a way of making the current page navigation menu item a different colour to the other menu items? I’ve looked in the CSS , but can’t seem to find the right code to do it. Hope someone can help me out. Thanks.

Hi, add this CSS in the styles.css file, at the bottom.

ul#horz-nav-ul li a.on {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: #ffa200;
    background-image: url(../images/nav-a-bg1.png);
}

Then add a new class to the main nav a link called on, like this.

<li class="home"><a class="on" href="./">Home</a></li>
