Hi,
Great looking template. I have a question before I buy it if you do not mind me asking.
1. Do you think it is a good idea to place the side nav on top where the “Dashboard” button is? That way you have the full width for the content? If so can this easily be done?
also what validation are you using if any for the login page? I didnt know if you already implemented something or I would?
Hey zachstarnes,
1. Yes, this can be very easily done. You can simply use something like this:
<div id="container" class="fixed-header sidebar-closed">
Nonetheless, I personally prefer the sidebar, because in most cases the user have a monitor with a high enough resolution. But you can also easily use the top navigation without the sidebar for full width pages. 
2. I’m generally using jquery-validation for form validation and here are examples, but currently I’ve not implemented this at the login, but it’s definitely planned for the next update. 
Thanks,
Simon
Great theme!
When you shrink the responsive table down enough a plus sign appears so that you can see content in an expanded row that displays on the next row in the table. Is there away to expand the row by clicking anywhere on the row and have it show a form inside? I hope this question makes sense.
Thanks in advance, Jon
Hey Jon,
thanks for your compliment. 
At this point, the DataTables-Responsive-Plugin does not support this feature, but I think it’s a great idea for future updates! It’s noted. 
Thanks,
Simon
Hi Simon,
Great theme!
What’s the easiest way to get the datatables working with a Ajax source – sAjaxSource ?
Thanks,
Luke
Hey Luke,
thank you and thanks for purchasing Melon. 
Yes, the easiest way is to use sAjaxSource. Here is an example for DataTables server-side processing. 
Regards,
Simon
Yeah i’ve used aAjaxSource before. But not sure of the best way to use it with the default data-tables initialization in melon as part of plugins.js ? if it’s at all possible ?
That’s a lovely idea to set an ajax-source directly in HTML. This feature will definitely included in the next update. Otherwise you can use the solution I mentioned in my support forum. 
If you need this feature really fast (before I release the update), you can write me an Email and as far as I implemented this feature, I will provide you with instructions. 
Thanks i’ve put together a workaround for the moment.
How did you solve chrisbjr’s issue with the horizontal scrolling as i’ve come across the same issue
I sent you an Email with the solution, which will be included in the next update. 
I’ve finished the feature to set the Ajax-source directly in HTML. If you want it before I release the update, have a look at my support forum where I posted the feature. 
Nice one! It’s so beautiful!!! I like it so much!
Wow, thanks for your comment, daijiaoking! 
Excellent template. Exactly what I need. Thank you. 5 stars.
Thank you so much ichurakov, I really appreciate it! 
Is it possible to add multiple project-switchers? It would be awesome to add that flexibility for my users. There is probably a way to do it, but I’ve played around for a few hours and cannot get it to work successfully. Any suggestions?
Hey aujenea,
multiple project-switchers are a good idea. Do you mean that you can have multiple buttons in the header which can toggle different project-switcher? 
Thanks,
Simon
Hi Simon -
That’s exactly what i mean! Your thoughts?
BTW, the template is awesome. I was using a different template over the last few months for a huge project I am doing and we’ve decided to use your template instead for its user friendliness.
5 stars!
I think this is a great idea, I’ll definitely implement this. If you can’t wait for the update, you can write me an Email and I’ll provide you with instructions as far as I worked on the feature. 
Thanks for your rating aujenea! 
You’re welcome! I sent you the email. I can’t wait to get it implemented! Great work!
Just sent you an Email with instructions. Feature will be included in the next update. 
YOUR UPDATE WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!!!!! This is so awesome! Thank you!!! I can’t wait to see what goodies you have coming up with the next release! Thanks so much! You rock!
You’re welcome, thanks for giving me such a great feedback, I really appreciate it! 
Hello Simon,
I am having an issue with the sidebar on my Samsung Galaxy S4. On the iPhone it works perfectly but when I open the menu on the GS 4 the sidebar appears blank, just whitespace. Any idea how to fix this?
Hey kanzelm3,
I’ve already fixed this issue and the bug-fix will be included in the next update. Please have a look at this comment where I explain the fix. 
Thanks,
Simon
Excellent, thanks Simon!
Hmm.. I applied the fix, and my sidebar is still blank on the galaxy s4 on the chrome browser. It’s just whitespace.
Hm, thats really weird! I tried it with a Galaxy S3, Galaxy S3 Mini, Amazon Kindle Fire HD and with all of these smartphones/ tablets it’s working. Unfortunately, I personally do not own a Galaxy S4 so debugging is a bit hard for me.
Maybe you could try to add:
android_chrome = false;
directly after:
var android_chrome = /android.*chrom(e|ium)/.test(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase());
Does it work now? I would appreciate it, if you could create a new thread at my support forum, so we can discuss better and solve this problem quicker. 
Thank you kanzelm3,
Simon
Bingo, that fixed it man, thanks!
Great to hear that, you’re welcome. 
Hi Simon! We’re really loving this theme
Great job!
However, as with most database applications, we rely heavily on being able to display data properly using tables. The colvis and responsive datatable plugins work great but can you also give examples on using datatables properly with horizontal scrolling for cases where we still want to show all the data? I’ve been trying but alignment of the table headers doesn’t align with the body.
I added the following options to the datatables in plugin.js line#234:
var options = {"sScrollX": "100%", "sScrollXInner": "110%", "bScrollCollapse": true };
Here is a link to a screenshot: http://www.webpagescreenshot.info/img/522c69a19a0311-27685040
Examples for datatables’ freezepane would be great as well 
PS sorry to have to post here but I was getting a 504 error when trying to visit the support page.
Hey chrisbjr,
thanks for your comment. 
I’ve tested horizontal scrolling and everything is working correctly: http://screenshots.stammtec.de/2013-09-08_14-27-36.png
Are you sure your HTML-syntax is correct? I see your search input is not looking properly, maybe there’s something wrong on your side. Could you please send me the URL to your page via my profile page, so I can have a look about it?
Thanks for the idea with fixed headers example, it’s noted. 
Regards,
Simon
Sent you an email 
Fixed. 
Thank you very much for creating this panel. I have tested with nexus 7 first generation using chrome and when its on landscape it doesn’t show the left menu instead there is white space.
Hello ersind5,
thank you for your comment and bug report. You’re right, I found the error causing this issue. 
Please open your app.js and change line 284 from:
$('#sidebar').attr('style', 'position: absolute !important;').css('margin-left', '-250px').css('margin-top', '-52px;');
to:
$('#sidebar').attr('style', 'position: absolute !important;').css('margin-top', '-52px');
// Only hide sidebar on phones
if ($(window).width() <= 767) {
$('#sidebar').css('margin-left', '-250px');
}
For the complete handleScrollbars()-function, see this pastebin. This bugfix will be included in the next update.
Thanks for informing me,
Simon
Thank you, that helped. I am sorry if I annoy you because I will be doing more tests. My aim is to create a desktop/tablet/mobile (application) website without bugs and efficient. So I will be helping you at the same time. If I get anything better I’ll let you know if that OK with you.
You’re welcome.
This sounds great! I also want to offer a bug-free Admin Template, so any help or bug reports are welcome. 
Would be cool if you could open a new thread at my support forum next time. There we have a better overview. 
Can’t see preview via http://themes.stammtec.de/?theme=melon. Link is broken.
Hey mulledreng,
it’s working on my side. What error do you get? Have you tried, opening the Live Preview over this link? 
Amazing theme, congratulations.
Could you please tell me how do i remove entirely the sidebar from certain pages. I would like to have some full width pages. Thank you.
Hello Maxxim,
thank you for your comment. 
You can completely remove the #sidebar-div (optional) and then add the class .sidebar-closed to #container-div, e.g.:
<div id="container" class="fixed-header sidebar-closed">
I will add this into the documentation next time, thanks for this!
Regards,
Simon
BTW, Amazing work.. I’ve been looking for a template for a project I’m working on for months and I think I’ve finally settled on yours. Very happy customer. 
Hey ghenson2,
thanks for your compliment! 
You don’t see the tables turning into DataTables, because you have to include the DataTable-JavaScript plugin. Include this before <script type="text/javascript" src="/public/assets/js/app.js"></script>:
<!-- DataTables -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="plugins/datatables/jquery.dataTables.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="plugins/datatables/DT_bootstrap.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="plugins/datatables/responsive/datatables.responsive.js"></script>
Thanks,
Simon
Great admin theme!
Have you considered adding zoomable charting examples?
-Bobby
Thank you Bobby and thanks for purchasing! Great idea, will be added into the next update. 
Just worked on this feature: http://screenshots.stammtec.de/2013-09-14_17-53-46.png
I’ll include it in the next update which I’ll upload tomorrow. 
Hi,
This theme is fantastic and I bought it. We are using it primarily for mobile devices. Few questions
1. Is there a way to call the pages via ajax? 2. Can you include a google map widget?
Also how do we do a Yes/No toggle (flip) button, if possible?
Hello svasam,
thank you very much for purchasing Melon! 
1. Yep, you can easily use a plugin such as pjax and bind it on #content or #content .container. If you need further instructions with this, please open a new thread at my support forum and I’ll help you. 
2. Great idea, will be included in the next update.
If you need it really fast, write me an Email.
3. You can use e.g. a normal checkbox or a toggle button (see button page and scroll to “Stateful Buttons” on the right side). Or do you mean something like these switches?
Thanks for your compliment,
Simon
Hey svasam,
just worked on the Google Maps Widgets: http://screenshots.stammtec.de/2013-09-15_12-41-05.png
Will be included in the update. 
This theme is amazing! Easy to use and everything I had wished for to create my business dashboard! Many thanks! 
Thanks Daryl! Greet Andy from me. 
Simon instantly helped us out with our issue regarding our server configuration and the jquery.cookie.min.js file. Top quality help and support, much appreciated mate, great stuff!
I really appreciate your positive feedback, thanks Andy! 
Hey mate, My team have bought this theme this morning using our team account. Works perfectly local host, however, when we upload it to our server it seems like some code is missing? The bar charts appear as comma seperated numbers. Do you think its a file permission error on our server?
Hello andyjh07,
thanks for purchasing Melon! This is definitely not the normal behaviour and could be a permission error on your side as you already mentioned. I’ll try to investigate it. 
Can you send me the URL where the error occurs via Email (you can use the contact form on my profile). And to verify the purchase, your team member who actually bought Melon should write me also a quick Email with your username in it. This way I can verify the purchase. I hope you understand. 
Thanks,
Simon
Just messaged you from the profile page mate, included the email address of the account it was purchased from 
Problem solved.
