I just purchased this theme today and having trouble getting the sidebar menu to accordion down when sub categories exist. When I click the button for it to expand, it tries to fetch a url.

There are so many files that I am thinking I might be missing a script somewhere.

Found missing script. Thank you for the fantastic full featured theme!

Ahh, great to hear that.

Have fun using it.

Hi guys

Integrating this with a .Net website and going great, however I have hit a snap with the forms.

With .Net you have a single form tag around the whole page which sits just after the div for page-container.

However when i insert a snippet from forms-main.html the form items are all jumbled on the page. If I take the form element out, then it works fine, but I obviously need it in.

Anything that can be done as I love the theme, but bit of a showstopper.

Thanks!

So just to confirm, if you move the form tag to just after the page-container class it will recreate the error.

Cheers!

lol hi again Arlind, after all that I have fixed it!

Obviously I was removing the form element as it already has a .Net one in, but the form had the class on it for styling:

<form role=”form” class=”form-horizontal form-groups-bordered”>

So I just changed that to a div instead to maintain the style, ie

And now it works awesome. Thanks for the initial reply. Great to know we can get in touch with you guys about stuff :)

Thanks Simon

Hi SImon,

Hi!

I’m reading the documentation and it looks like it is outdated.
The only file needed to compile is assets/css/neon.less
But I don’t have such file. I can compile assets/less/neon.less to neon.css, but it is not included in the pages by default. Should I include it? What is the difference between neon-core.css and neon-theme.css? Does neon.css include them?

What I want to achieve is to add custom.less file with my custom less code. What is the best way to do it?

Thanks!

Hi ajayver,

Here is the updated version for this topic:

http://documentation.laborator.co/neon/#5_1

I will update the documentation in Zip file.

As described in the documentation here is the answer:

The reason why these files are separated is because in some IE browsers the maximum number of CSS rules is limited and the full-feature bundled version is not supported. So they are each the same priority and all of are required to include

I hope I was clear in my answer.

Arlind

Thank you for the reply!

Ok, now I understand the system, but have a follow up question. In my zip file neon-theme.css and neon-core.css are almost the same. I checked now and the first 2700 lines are identical. I can fix that by disabling some imports in neon-theme, but I wonder – what was the reason to do so?

Hi ajayver,

The difference between these files is that some of the plugins (included in Extra pages) have custom styling so neon-theme.css is all about that. If you don’t use the components that start with extra-{component-name}.html you can eliminate neon-theme.css

Sure you can disable imports and then compile the files, you can even join all the files and this way you have easier to manage the imports. For example see: neon.less , this contains all the imports.

Hopefully you will find this easy.

Hi there,

we bought the theme and are happy using it! :=)

One question concerning the sidebar menu: Is it possible to expand menus with submenus by using the Neon API or any other JS function calls?

Many thanks and best wishes!

Having a look at http://documentation.laborator.co/neon/#4_1 solves the problem – sorry!

Good that you fixed it on your own :).

Hi,

We are having issues with daterange picker javascript. I am getting date range values from backend and trying to dynamically change the date of existing date range picker but daterangepicker function is not changing date range dynamically.

Following is my code snippet :

$(’#myDiv’).daterangepicker({ format : ‘MMMM D, YYYY h:mm’, startDate : jsonObj.offer_start_date, endDate : jsonObj.offer_end_date, min_date : jsonObj.offer_start_date, start_date : jsonObj.offer_start_date, end_date : jsonObj.offer_end_date }, function(start, end) { });

Hi dhavalyours,

Sorry but we have lost this topic and now saw it was unanswered for 8 days.

Have you tried this using the other method from the daterangepicker api

For example this way you can apply new options, here is one example:

$('#daterange').data('daterangepicker').setOptions({ format : ‘MMMM D, YYYY h:mm’, startDate : jsonObj.offer_start_date, endDate : jsonObj.offer_end_date, min_date : jsonObj.offer_start_date, start_date : jsonObj.offer_start_date, end_date : jsonObj.offer_end_date });

Great theme, enjoying using it to redesign my site.

Had a question on the breakpoints; to me, on the iPad, the default sidebar view should be the “icon” view (see below) to give more screen real estate Could you let me know what breakpoint CSS I need to change to make this the default view for the sidebar on my iPad 2 (1024×768).

Thanks!

Hi Volsfan91, the breakpoint of iPad landscape is 1024px max width and it is the same as the one used for desktop, you can do this also by adding sidebar-collapsed to .page-container element.

Hey, I’m planning on purchasing this. I want to use a fixed sidebar, but it seems to be bugged at the moment. I’m using chrome 33, and when scrolling down the sidebar, it will scroll up again automatically. Any way you could fix this please?

Hi orhanhenrik, we haven’t noticed this issue before, it will be fixed on the next update or we can send you the code to fix it manually until the update comes.

Art

awesome theme. is anyone able to port this to drupal for frontpage? :)

Hey alfadesignsa, the theme is planned only for HTML and we’re not planning to release it for any other platform.

Thank you, Art,

Hi, great theme. I am having an issue with the modals showing above the page fold. Can you tell me how to make them center based on the height how far it is scrolled down?

it is actually a safari only issue, any thoughts?

Hi movingmel, it seems that there the scripts of the datatables and the modals are crashing in Safari when used together, I will add this to the “fix” list and on the next update it will be fixed, we don’t have any accurate time when we’ll launch the update but stay tuned and you’ll be notified via email.

Art

Hi, thanks for a grat theme!

Is there a fixed header on mobile option? Is there an option to have slide/off-canvas menu on mobile?

Thanks!

Hi gehrkensit, currently the only menu available is the one sliding from the top, we have considered adding a Off-canvas Menu also for the next versions, so stay tuned.

Art

ON table datatables (second example on theme) with checkbox you call replacechekboxes(); on pagination click, this dont works if you have more then 2 pages and click on page number. If you click on the arrows works fine, you can have 10, 20 pages, but if you click on page number checkbox dont show.

Hi alvarogtc

I tried this also in my local copy of Neon and it worked with more than 2 pages of pagination.

You may try to add this callback “replacechekboxes()” on numbers click, it just check the boxes that are not already replaced.

Arlind

It might happen after collapsing the sidebar the button to extend the sidebar is gone. sometimes the style-attribute “left” is still set to something above 200px.

bugfix:

in neon-api.js add at line 229:

$collapse_icon.removeAttr(‘style’);

Thanks for this fix. Added it.

I’m getting a few errors when trying to process the .less files. Is there a latest version without the processed css and just the less?

Examples of errors: NameError: .keyframes is undefined on line 344 in bs-less/panels.less NameError: @p_text_color is undefined on line 21 in bs-less/variables.less

Hi mopineyro,

What files are you trying to compile with less?

Note that these files can be compiled (other must be included)

  • neon.less
  • neon-core.less
  • neon-theme.less
  • neon-forms.less

Arlind

I plan to purchase this theme. I would like to know

- Would you be able to add a maximise (full height/width) / minimize option to the panels? or portlets?

- are the individual plugins and their style easier to maintain? or has it all be bundled up together?

Hi hetul, the feature you’re describing is not available in Neon, also if you have a demo of this feature in any other theme/web could you provide us the link maybe we will add it as a feature in the upcoming updates.

Art

Hi there.. while it may not be a 100% same.. check out the maximize effect here http://jsfiddle.net/85mJN/72/

so basically, get this to work on the panel tools… hope it makes sense.

Hi hetul, thank you for your suggestion, it looks like a great idea to put this into Neon, maybe we will add this in the future updates of Neon so if we do you’ll be notified.

Art

Can you please provide me with the latest versions of the .psd files? I’m particularly interested in the horizontal menu boxed and boxed layout versions.

Hi mopineyro, here is the file of the Top Menu: http://cl.ly/0b1U1g3N1l2R, not layered and an old version also we do not have the boxed version in PSD as we have designed it directly.

Hi dude, i have couple question.

Why on dreamweaver is so hard to edit the files? My dreamweaver crashes sometimes try to load all styles. any advice?

I m using fixed leftbar – can i help fix footer and fix top bar where have user picture, chat icon, language and logout?

Thanks and 1 more time really good theme.

Hi alvarogtc,

I recommend you to open these files for editing:

neon-core.css neon-forms.css neon-theme.css

They are separated from this file: neon.css because this caused the editor to break because of many styles and code highlighting.

As a matter of fact, I do not recommend you to make changes in these stylesheets because each time new version gets released we are going to make changes into all of them, so I suggest you to save your custom style to assets/css/custom.css

Hopefully I was clear in my answer. Thanks for your compliments buddy.

Arlind

can you help with this if possible?

i m using fixed leftbar – can you help me fix footer and fix top bar where have user picture, chat icon, language and logout?

Hi alvarogtc

To the profile and chat link add this id to “row” container:

<div class="row" id="main-profile">
...
</div>

Then in custom.css add this:

#main-profile {
    position: fixed;
    background: #fff;
    z-index: 100;
    right: 20px;
    left: 300px;
    top: 0;
    padding: 10px 0;
}

This doesn’t happen with the footer, because I tried it but didn’t worked.

You may try to add the fixed container of footer out of the main-content element, so add it in body.

Hopefully this helps you.

Hey, any chance we can see a fix for the fixed sidebar layout for touch devices? I am facing this issue since 1.3 and it is still present, even in the demo. In Chrome mobile the menu sidebar is scrollable horizontally while collapsed which makes the icons disappear. In addition, there is an orange border around the sidebar and the submenu that is visible or was visible. In the uncollapsed state I can’t scroll the menu vertically even though nicescroll’s virtual scrollbar indicates that there is more. The browser itself shows the page-end-reached animation.

I dont know if this is an android specific problem but in the stock android browser it is exactly the same. Tested on an Samsung Galaxy Note 8 in landscape mode.

Besides that, I really love this theme. Saved me a lot of work and it gets better from version to version!

Hi Candyffm,

I have noticed this issue, and tried many times to remove that “outline” but couldn’t find a fix for that.

We will try to find alternative ways of implementing fixed sidebar, as for now it has these compatibilities.

Thanks for your words

Hi, Is there any way to remove the ‘bouncing’ effect while open a modal? I´ve already commented these lines:

public_vars.$body.on('click', '.modal[data-backdrop="static"]', function(ev) { var $modal_dialog = $(this).find('.modal-dialog .modal-content'); var tt = new TimelineMax({paused: true}); tt.append( TweenMax.to($modal_dialog, .1, {css: {scale: 1.1}, ease: Expo.easeInOut}) ); tt.append( TweenMax.to($modal_dialog, .3, {css: {scale: 1}, ease: Back.easeOut}) ); tt.play(); });

...but still opens bouncing.

I´m opening the modal via AJAX:

<div class="modal fade" id="dynamic-modal"> <div class="modal-dialog"> <div class="modal-content" id="dynamic-modal-content"> </div> </div> </div> and the call: $("#dynamic-modal").modal();

Hi cjanuzi,

If you want remove the bouncing effect please open assets/js/neon-custom.js

And find this part of code:

// Modal Static
public_vars.$body.on('click', '.modal[data-backdrop="static"]', function(ev)
{
    if( $(ev.target).is('.modal') )
    {            
        var $modal_dialog = $(this).find('.modal-dialog .modal-content'),
            tt = new TimelineMax({paused: true});

        tt.append( TweenMax.to($modal_dialog, .1, {css: {scale: 1.1}, ease: Expo.easeInOut}) );
        tt.append( TweenMax.to($modal_dialog, .3, {css: {scale: 1}, ease: Back.easeOut}) );

        tt.play();
    }
});

It worked for me, hopefully it will do for you too.

This is a great looking template. Any chance of implementing jPanelMenu for an alternative to the dropdown menu on smaller devices?

Hi lukebrowning,

Yes we plan to add other plugins but currently we are busy developing some other themes, so till the next month we cannot release an update for Neon.

Thanks for your kind comments!

Arlind

Hi,

Neon theme/template looks really wonderful. We are planning to purchase, but before that could you please let me know whether the pages in Extras ( Login, Register, etc) also follow the skins that are selected? So, could it be white, or do we need to do extra Less work or something to make that change?

Thanks

Thanks- that is great.

One more question if you don’t mind: We want to embed this whole look and feel into an existing template… (salesforce pages if you are familiar with). Now we do not want to use iframe or something along those lines but basically add a precedeing class to all css here… For regular bootstrap we just enclosed all with a ”.bs {}” within LESS files and recompiled them and now when we say class=”bs xxxxxxx” it knows it is bootstrap but without “bs” it is regular salesforce css. I understand you guys provide the LESS files from the previous comments… from your experience is this possible to do with your whole template? if so which less files we need to change/update ?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

any answer you can provide on this would be really helpful… thanks!

Hi anthemecss,

I have never thought about this but tried to apply that class and it worked.

So basically if you download this file:

http://cl.ly/UrQS

You will see this class name in the beginning:

Then you can add to body or html element class “neon-theme” and it will work you.
