Hi Author, Amazing theme you have here. Just a few quick questions

1.) In the “Submit Video” form, if user inputs ONLY the video URL, will the TrueMag automatically import the Title, Description, thumbnail as well?

2.) Is it possible to directly extract and use the Like/Dislike count from YouTube instead of the TrueMag system?

3.) Can the Visual composer be used to create page like this TED style? http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pacholke_how_prisons_can_help_inmates_live_meaningful_lives

4.) Is it possible to use gamification plugin with the theme. (e.g. different names, awards for the Top Authors section or the most video ‘submitter’, author with most liked videos, )

thanks

Hi

Thanks for your interest. Regarding your questions

1. If video URL is one of TrueMag’s supported video networks (YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion…), you will only need Video URL. After admin reviews and saves the post, data like title, description, thumbnail are auto-imported.

2. Currently not, TrueMag are not able to get Like/Dislike info from YouTube

3. Visual Composer is used to construct page content area. Other areas are fixed by theme design. I do not get your point exactly so please compare the demo page with your desired pages

4. We haven’t tested TrueMag with Gamification plugin.

hello.. i want to ask about Smart Content Box is 5 Layout but is possibile to do show only the link like: post1 post2 post3 (is not only for this theme and if is possibile to show how to do thanks)

You can use Visual Composer and add a WP Recent Posts element into page content.

Hi,

I am facing a problem with the video URL (youtube). I am getting the URLs through RSS, so i get “&feature=youtube_gdata” or “&feature=youtube_gdata” at the end of every URL. That causes the Auto Fetch function not to work. Any ideas on how to overcome this problem? Thank you,

Well, as I mentioned in my initial question, I knew about the error, and I was aware it does not support the URL with that ending.(however this is a very silly error). My question was: “Any ideas on how to overcome this problem”? Could you tell me exactly what file is used to process the URL from this field? I will just write a filter to strip out the ending of if. Regards,

IMPORTANT: I have not yet rated my purchase, and in my understanding a failure to answer such a simple and direct question is a major downgrade for your review.

Hi,

I got your point. Of course, you are able to edit code, you can make it. It’s in /truemag/inc/classes/video-fetcher.php , function extractIDFromURL().

We will update theme so fix this issue soon, too.

Best regards, CactusThemes

I installed Advanced Search Form add widget as indicated in the documentation. But search box on top right header does not look like one in your demo http://demo.cactusthemes.com/truemag/

Screenshot of how it looks in my page and yours

I could not even figure out how to change font color of Submit video button. Do I have to change CSS or is there any theme option for that?

Thanks in advance. Your theme is good.

Quick one….

Is there a way to change the speed of the home page slider…slower…faster…etc?

Best Mike

Hi,

Unfortunately there isn’t an option to change that speed. You will need to edit source code of specific slider to do that.

Hi!

I would like to add additional Smart Content carousels underneath the Related Videos carousel on the single video page. I’ve tried adding them using the Visual Composer, however it only lets me add elements ‘above’ the Related Videos carousel. Can you offer any direction?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

You must edit source code to do that. You would need to add something like this
<?php do_shortcode('[scb]');?>
into single-video.php file, below
<div class="related-single">...</div>
section.

display: none;
}

Hi, great theme Im about to buy. One quick question please. My posts are going to be videos. Can I costumize the player? Can the videos be played within the slider without resizing it? thank you very much for the answer. regards Deny

Hi,

Thanks for interest. You can turn on player in some header styles like Classy Header (http://demo.cactusthemes.com/truemag/home-page-classy-header/). In other header styles, like Metro style, it can only be thumbnail image.

Best regards,

CactusThemes

Great! Many thanks :)

Hello,

Is it possible to display the Title, maybe a Subtitle, and the Duration/Length as an overlay on top of the Smart Content boxes?

Hi

If you use Smart content box style Modern, the title, duration… will be displayed on top of Thumbnail image. In other styles, you need to do some customize to achieve that

Best regards,

CactusThemes

Hey! Thanks for the response—I’m not seeing the option for Modern with the Smart Content Boxes. Where should I be implementing this?

Thanks!

Hi,

Sorry, I mean layout “Grid”.

CactusThemes

Hi there,

Just setting up from scratch, and I’m having some issues with the featured content box. The navigation is not behaving as you would expect.

It resolves, but you cannot choose anything.

issue closed.

Hi there, PRE-SALES QUESTION: Does this theme have the option for users to have their own channel? If not, will that option be difficult to add?

Thank you! Rita Lorraine

Hi,

Thanks for interest. No, it does not have such kind of feature.

Best regards, CactusThemes

Is there a way to change the color of the Titles in the Metro Slider?

Best regards, CactusThemes

Thank you very much!

Greetings!

In which file can I change the transition/effect for the Nivo slider?

It was tucked in the tru-mag shortcode directory (plugins/truemag-shortcodes/js_composer/assets/lib) along with the flex slider, etc. You may use piomni.tv as a reference URL

Ah, I got your point. You are using Visual Composer shortcode/element. Unfortunately, that’s a third party plugin that we cannot help much. Please raise a question to Visual Composer’s author.

Best regards,

CactusThemes

Cool deal!—Thanks a bunch

Question.. I noticed that the search function only searches the title of the post and not the tags that are put into the post. ANy way to fix this? Will this be added to a update??

:) That’s default search behavior of WordPress. It’s true that you will need to use a plugin to extend that function.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.
