I was looking through your demos and came across some errors. I used IE9 and Chrome on two different computers with the same results and I just wanted to let you know about it.
The last demo with the beach background – the drop-down menu (and I also think the shopping cart) is shown behind the transparent slider at the top.
And when I reduce the browser to look at the mobile version the shopping cart drop-down does not open right unless you first click on, and open the SHOP accordion. I have not actually tried the mobile version on my phone so this may not actually be an issue.
Hi, thanks for bringing this up. We hadn’t updated that demo to the latest version yet, but did so now. Please visit it again. The url’s changed to http://journal.digital-atelier.com/5_3
The Shopping Cart is intentionally turned into a click on lower resolutions because there’s no hover on mobile devices, so you have to click/tap to open it.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
Cheers!
No, I don’t think you understood. When you clicked on the Shopping Cart after adding an item it only showed a small part of it unless you had FIRST clicked to open the SHOP accordion….regardless, the updates you did fixed this too. 
I am seriously contemplating purchasing this…....is it possible to show the “you have added” message in the middle of the screen instead of the corner? It’s easy to miss the way it is now though I REALLY like that it doesn’t scroll the page up!
And my 2 cents … it would be nice to have border options/colors/hovers available and not just changeable background colors in the admin panel.
Hi, we’ve updated a lot of stuff, so that might’ve been one of the fixes.
Yes, you can place the notification in the middle of the screen, we’ll help you out with that if you need it.
As far as the colors go, have you checked out the Colors tab (and its sub-tabs) from the Journal Control Panel? There’s a button next to each element (?) showing its position in the frontend.
We think this theme has probably the most color options available but if there are any particular elements that we haven’t covered please let us know and we’ll put them in the control panel.
Thanks!
I should also mention the notification message you’d like in the middle of the screen has all its colors editable from the Control Panel General tab, Notification sub-tab.
All these control panel settings (colors, fonts, menus, etc) are saved for each skin individually, and you can of course create and save unlimited custom skins. Cheers!
You do have a lot of color choices and I love that you can save each skin individually (that’s a fantastic feature).
Yes, I have checked out the Colors tab in the Journal Control Panel and what I noticed most was that there wasn’t any control for any border colors/widths/hovers etc… especially for grid/list products and the main menu / categories etc… I know I can dig into the css or add to the custom code section but would be really nice if all the color/border options were accessible from the panel. It wouldn’t be a deal breaker though.
You are doing a great job and it’s quite the awesome template so far.
Hi, thank you for your input and kind words, we’ll definitely add more color options as they’re actually easy to implement at this point. However, most of what you’re referring is already editable, like the main categories menu. You can edit font color, hover color, background color and border color. That’s for the top menu, the dropdown has its own settings.
Can you be more specific about which element you’d like to see editable? We’d appreciate feedback like this so we can implement it in our next updates. Thanks!
Actually only about 3 elements have border color settings in the Control Panel. I think it’s one of those things where I will probably have to do some custom css as I would want full control over all elements that could have border settings that I might want to change…...color, line width, top, bottom, left, right, hover settings etc… I guess it’s the artist/perfectionist in me
Not sure if it’s really an issue as again I have not tested it in my phone yet, but in Chrome the reduced mobile version overlaps the prices and discount labels in the list view in what I think would be considered the low resolution screen (narrow). It did it in all the demos I tried.
Can’t wait for the left column category template to come out!
One other thing. Is there a way to preview the fonts without having to select each one by one? It would be a BIG time saver. Or maybe I missed it?
Hi,
That kind of border control is outside the scope of this design, I thought you’re referring to existing elements being editable from the admin. Sure, you can change the entire look and achieve anything with custom CSS.
You’re right about list view on the low res phones, that was supposed to switch to grid view on that resolution. We’re going to style the list view as well for our next update, thanks for bringing it to light.
Font previews are not implemented in the control panel directly but you can easily browse all fonts here http://www.google.com/fonts/ You can input you own text, see which one you like, then load it on your site.
Thanks!
Actually that was my meaning—to have all the existing elements have border control settings in the panel and then use custom CSS if there was something else in the design I wanted to change. (it’s not always easy to explain in the right words to get your meaning across to other people) But it’s no big deal either way – especially with the skin saving feature.
I went ahead and purchased this template last night but it’s not showing it here that I did.
oops – it just changed with my last posting
Hi, and thanks for purchasing our theme. We’ll consider adding border option to all elements in a future update.
Please let us know if you need any assistance with the theme on our support page. Thanks again!
Hi, I ‘d like to ask something.
1- I couldnt have time to search about it, but i want to know if my data going to change if i drag and drop (replace) the updated 3 folders? 2- I couldnt find the icons of the top menu (home,wish list, account etc..) I would like to have them on my theme, dunno how to set. 3- E-mail notifications have your footer copyright info, even though i’ve changed by your main theme module + admin/controller/common/footer.php + catalogue/controller/common/footer.php , couldnt find what a setting else to modify this issue. Thanks You!
Hi,
1. Your data won’t change, just drag the 3 folders over replacing any existing Journal files. Make sure you download the latest version.
2.The icons path may need a refresh. They are in image/data/journal/ Just click on the icon field in your Custom Menus tab to refresh the path.
3. Store information is in System/Settings/General and /Store. Also check Control Panel/Footer/Custom Text. There’s no need to modify core files for this, it’s coming in from the admin.
Please file a support ticket so we can have a look at your installation in case you need more assistance.
Thanks.
I think i will do it by tomorrow, bc i have no custom menu in main theme module. When i creat one, all the previous menus disappears, but anyway, i will create new custom menus. But before doing it, i need my SEO fixed. My host company made a great support also, but there are still problem with SEO URL, i need to work on it. Thank you.
i ‘ve been updated both theme and the admin, btw, Thanks.
Ok, just get in touch through our support page when you need assistance with the theme. Cheers!
just bought this goodie!
I don’t know what i was thinking before
Thanks a lot, we appreciate it!
By the way, left column is still in the works, should arrive before the end of the month. Let us know if you need any assistance with Journal. Cheers!
thank you so much for the info…
I see you’ve been very active with updates and supports and all the things along… really top quality stuff!
thanks for the great theme! its a steal from my part for what i get for this money;)
Thanks so much!
Yes, we’re putting a lot of effort in this theme, both in development and support. This is a win-win for everybody
Stay tuned, even more features are coming.
Cheers!
Hello, going to buy, currently testing on your demo.
1. Bugreport Please check and correct ASAP. In latest Opera (Ver.:12.15 Build:1748) top category menu does not work. It’s impossible to use top category menu. Tested on 3 different machines. For example: After mouse above top category, second layer category opens, but when you wish to click on it and move the mouse to it, second layer category disappear (as soon as you reach banner border) and it works as your click on banner. Tested at Layout 2_3
2. Layout question Same Layout 2_3 Looks like YES, but want to confirm: Is it possible to turn the right column (with categories) ON? May be by changing the zoom way or whatsever? I need to switch right column with categories menu to be ON at all products pages.
3. Points question Same Layout 2_3 Looks like YES, but want to confirm: At the product page I can turn ON: points price, points get and tags? From menu or by EASY editing the file…
4. Language/currency flags question Same Layout 2_3 In the header – if I add MANY languages and Currency to the shop, how much icons will fit at one line? If I add more what will happen? It will add second line for icons below or ruine the whole design?
5. Left column layout question You say that you are working on left column layout. Can you tell us about the release time for this or other major difference theme upgrade? Not exact date, but at least say as you can: “next month” or “in summer” or “not in nearest 3 month”? I plan to modify your theme and want to know when I would receive an update that I will need to change everything again… Thank you
Hi ThemeAnd
1. We’re checking on that right now, it’s an Opera bug, works fine on all others, we’ll let you know as soon as we’ve nailed it.
2. Yes, you can have the side column present on all pages.
3. You can have any options available in the OpenCart system, these aren’t theme related. I think this product has all options available.
4. If you have too many language flags you can turn it into a select dropdown. It involves some custom work at this point, but we’re considering implementing this as an option in our upcoming updates.
5. Left column is coming in version 1.4, should be up before the end of the month.
Let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you.
Hi,
1. Apparently Opera can’t display nested divs within a parent li, if that element is styled as table-cell. It’s not ideal markup, but that’s how the OpenCart default menu is made. We have to use the table-cell styling in order to achieve the flexible menu design we went for. Anyway, we have implemented a fix for this now, please check it out again. Thanks.
Hi, yes, the changes weren’t propagated on the demo previews. We work on our development version and then update accordingly. Please check again. Thanks!
Thank you. I can not resist buying it anymore
Thanks a lot ThemeAnd, let us know if you need any assistance on our support page http://journal.digital-atelier.com/support/index.php?a=add Cheers!
is available in Spanish?
Hi, you can install any language you want. This is default OpenCart functionality. Coincidentally our Journal III example has the Spanish language installed. Click on the flag icon in the header to activate it. Cheers!
I love this theme and just before i purchase would like to check if the the theme can be viewed as by desktop view on a mobile device?
Hi, yes, there’s an option in the Control Panel to turn off the responsive layout. We turned it off for the third preview. Check out Journal III on your mobile device, it wil display like on a desktop. Cheers!
Thank you for the prompt reply! Sorry i think you misunderstood my query. What i mean is, if i were to turn on the responsive layout, can a user choose to view the site in desktop view on the mobile device?
Hi, sorry. So you’re referring to a button somewhere in the frontend that switches the views. That should be possible but it requires some custom work. It won’t be a simple refresh of the page, there are variables that need to be loaded in the session to account for such change. Is this what you’re asking? Thanks.
Yes that is it. So it is not included in the current theme. Is that correct?
That’s correct, this option is not available in the theme right now, it will have to be customized. Thanks.
my problem solved, with a kind support. I couldnt find the rate button on the right, may someone guide, Thanks.
Hi TeeCloth, the rating is found on your downloads page, to the right of the item. Thanks a lot!
i did, thanks!
Thank you, we appreciate it!
- IGNORE THIS I’M BEING AN IDIOT *** Forgot to press the UPDATE THEME button (this is my first attempt at Opencart and Themes so still learning!)
Any idea why after upgrading to 1.3 at re-setting the store image dimensions as per install instructions my site looks like this?
http://www.handmade-items.co.uk/index.php?route=common/homeHi, it looks like you haven’t clicked the blue “Update Theme” button found in the Control Panel. The image dimensions requirements have changed, please readjust accordingly. Thanks!
Thanks for the quick response. I just noticed it!! Fab theme by the way
Thanks a lot mwitcomb, we appreciate it!
Any reason why on my top slider the left and right arrows are on the outside of the images and on your then hover over the image? Have I not set a dimension correctly somewhere?
Hi, there’s an option in each Journal Slider module to place the arrows either outside or inside. Is that it? Also, please file a ticket here http://journal.digital-atelier.com/support/index.php?a=add we’ll manage support much better there. Thanks.
Really sorry. Yes thats correct. Thanks. I’ll be quiet now and go and have a play around. Thanks for the great support
No problem, just get on our support page when you need us. Cheers!
Hi, this is the best theme from opencart i have ever seen, i just purchased with no hesitation, great job thank you. It i meet hard times with that, hope to receive a prompt and possitive response, Thank you.
Hi TeeCloth, thanks for buying Journal! Our support is top notch, just file a ticket here http://journal.digital-atelier.com/support if you run into any issues with the theme and we’ll look into it right away. Cheers!
I did a ticket, there was a problem when i install main theme from modules. I hope the response with a resolution may not so long as im working on the projects and cant move forward now. Thank you.
Hi, we’ve just responded to your ticket, please ensure the database user has full privileges first. Let us know on the ticket thread how’s it working after you’ve done that. Thanks!
I see there are no twitter feeds on the theme. is it possible to replace the Facebook Like feed with a twitter feed instead? which tpl would I need to change?
Hi, we’re looking into that for our next update. If you’d like to play with it yourself, the like-box is loaded dynamically in footer.tpl Cheers!
You know on the demo page the first demo link is broken? Also Admin demo links are broken as well.
Hi, it’s working now, we had just installed the new version on it, link changed to 1_3. Will update the rest of the previews shortly. Cheers!
Hey! I just bought magiczoomplus for opencart en for some reason it won’t show on the productpage. However I got it working on the category page…(jeuh!). I copied the custom css and js to the backend and it still doesn’t work. I’m relay hoping you could help me out! hope to hear from you guys!
category page:) http://www.rijstextiles.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=135
Product page:(http://www.rijstextiles.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=135&product_id=145 (incl multi pictures) Product page:(http://www.rijstextiles.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=135&product_id=7 (jus product pix)
The reason I like to change this is because I need to transfer 5000 fabrics and can’t upload new pictures (taken me weeks to do so). So thats why I need to custom the zoom window.
Hi, we have addressed your ticket, please proceed to update the theme and let us know how’s it working on our support page. Thanks!
Hi, behing the slider there is a menu which shows some modules (new arrivals, featured, etc), is it possible that CATEGORY NAMES can be shown here? (instead of “new arrivals” for example, show “men” and when I clic here the products of this category shows below?
If this cannot be done trough the admin panel, do you think it will require some deep modifications to make it work? Id like to have this but i only have intermmediate skills on programming. Thanks for the answer.
Hi, unfortunately this is not possible right now. Those sections are customly created from the Control Panel. You can name them whatever you want and attach any products to each section but you have to do it manually. It will indeed require extensive work to make it pull the main categories automatically. Cheers!
Silly question – sorry but
http://www.handmade-items.co.uk/desktops?product_id=30On my product page the description seems to be aligned to the right hand side of the screen leaving a mass of white space on the left. on your demo it shown on the left hand side giving more room for the description etc.. to be shown. Where do I change this. Can’t figure it out in the Admin? Thanks
Hi, can you please file a ticket here http://journal.digital-atelier.com/support/index.php?a=add and we’ll look into it asap. Thanks!
Hi DigitalAtelier,
When is the update comming you are referring to?
Regards,
Hi Donmiat, we’re finishing up tonight so should be tomorrow, depending on the upload queue. Thanks.
Thanks!
Hi, How did you turn off the product quantity’s in the categories like in your demo. Thanks
Hi, there’s a switch in the Control Panel/General/Product where you can turn it off. Let us know if you can’t find it. Thanks.
Hi, sorry but I cant find any option like that
Hi, perhaps you don’t have the latest version. This was introduced in v1.2. Can you download and install the current version?
There’s actually another update coming tomorrow, v1.3, which brings many more new features. Thanks.
hmm I did update, anyway perhaps I’ll wait until tomorrow for the new update
Hi, I think we’re referring to different things. Go to System/Settings/Option and turn off Category Product Count. Is this what you’re looking for?
lol thanks for that, that was exactly what I was looking for, sorry for any trouble 
No trouble, I was the one who misunderstood Cheers!
Just a suggestion, but “add to cart” is always a nice feature on opencart instead of the scroll up it does as standard. Maybe this is already one of the added extras
Are you referring to the ajax add to cart? Can you be more specific? Thanks.
By default Opencart when an item is added to the cart the page scrolls up and a line appears to say product has been added. The is an “add to cart” mod so when something is added a small box opens in the middle of the screen and says “xxxxxxxxx has been added to the shopping cart (with a picture of the item) and the options continue shopping, view cart, checkout”
I see, this is not implemented right now but we’re planning on updating the notification system in the near future, but can’t tell you an exact timeframe. It’s definitely on the list though. Thanks!
Like on this…. http://demo.bossthemes.com/sunglass/index.php?route=common/home The add to cart feature, menu style and the drop down account box are all nice features. I just prefer the overall style of yours which is why I am going to buy it. I think with the extra bits the theme would be perfect!
Yes, we’ll have a nice notification system for “Add to Cart” in the near future. The mega menu, however, needs extensive work as it requires modifying OpenCart core files and so far Journal does not replace any original core files. We’ll keep it in mind for future updates. Thank you!
I will do. Thank you.
Our update process keeps all your admin settings/changes intact and puts the new stuff on top. You can grab it now and familiarize yourself with it, there’re tons of options already (with even more to come monday). If you need assistace to set it up, contact us through our support page and we’ll help you out.
Thanks!
Very interested in this theme, but is it possible to make more space in the header for a larger logo and full size banner/header image?
Hi, yes, we’re actually finishing up v1.3 which includes a wide screen option of 1220px. Right now it maxes out at 980px. The logo area is also increased on this new layout, but you can easily enlarge it more with custom css. The slider module can have any dimensions, so if its width exceeds the browser width it will resize itself to always be at the edges.
Thanks!
Thats great! Do you know when V1.3 will be available?
We’re shooting for this monday, but it may be tuesday, depending on the upload queue. Thanks!
Brilliant! Last question, will it be a straight upgrade to the current version? If it is I might buy it now and get to work with it and then upgrade when the new one comes out
