Discussion on Booom! - Bootstrap Flat UI Pro Theme For MODX

Hi, thanks for your message!

At the moment, the newsletter field is setup with the FormIt package, and submissions are saved in the admin via FormSave.

Not sure how virtunewsletter works, but there is probably a way to add the submisison from the newsletter field into the mailing list from virtunewsletter.

The gallery is made with the jQuery Isotope plugin.

Hope it helps!

Hey – thanks for the kind words and for you rating – very much appreciated!

The answer to both your questions is yes, but it requires some customisations.

Are you comfortable with Bootstrap’s markup for carousel sliders? The answers of both questions resides in that code.

Arrows

The code for the navigation arrows is the < !- controls – > portion of the code you can find in here: http://getbootstrap.com/javascript/#carousel

The testimonial slider is actually using the arrows – and it’s the same carousel slider code for the image galleries, so you can try find the code in the testimonials section chunk and apply to the image galleries.

Actually i might add it to a future update, so if you’re patient it may come to you.

Hero Slider

To turn the hero section in slider in a proper MODX way, you would need to create some TVs (template variables) and use them to upload the image, heading text, sub heading, buttons, link target etc, assign these TVs to a new template, create your slider items via this template and then use gerResources to loop through them and map it to the carousel.

Sounds complicated, but it’s basically how the testimonial slider is working, so again you can look in there for inspiration.

If it’s all too complex for you, i am available for hire for customisations like these, you can contact me via the form on my profile page.

I offer free customer support, but this goes a bit beyond the scope of theme support and bridges into customisation land

Thanks again for your purchase!

Hello,

thanks for your quick reply!

Modx is really great but has plenty of mysteries left for me to discover so I know for sure that at the moment the Hero Slider part is too complicated for me. If I really need it then I will let you know. Maybe a nice addition to the Hero part; a fade in effect for the image.

I will try if I can achieve the arrow part, that seems less hard. And otherwise I have to wait for you update

Greetings,

Pieter

Will add it eventually. For the hero fade-in, you could set the #parallax div, in the custom css resource, to

#parallax { display: none; }

and then add the following jQuery to the JS file that is created as a resource in the MODX document tree:

$('#parallax').delay(2000).fadeIn(2000);

What this will do is wait 2 seconds (while the image loads – you can modify the delay duration) and then fade it in in 2 seconds.

Again, thank you for your support!

I think the fade in is a nice addition

Greetings,

Pieter

Hi,

Thank you for all your comments, which all make sense. I will take them into consideration when releasing the next update.

Regarding AJAX, there are no AJAX-loaded pages in this theme – the single portfolio items are opening in a new HTML page. You can use any bootstrap goodie in these pages too.

I am not sure i understand your last point regarding the child resources. If you are looking in creating blog posts that open in a new page, i am currently building a basic blog structure to add to the theme. This would be a simple list of posts with different categories. Comments would be handled via disqus.

Thank you Simon! Thought they were loaded via Ajax – not sure why. The blog feature sounds promising.

Can you give a rough estimate, when you will release an update?

Looking forward!

Hi,

I haven’t upgraded to 2.3 yet but there are no reasons why it should not be compatible.

Please get in touch via email if you face any issues!

Simon

Thanks Simon, it seems modx won’t load the package within the manager after upload. Any reason for this?

Hi!

I am currently working on implementing a blog section to the theme. This will include disqus comments, so i guess you could either put the content you want comments for in the blog, or add the disqus functionality to the portfolio details page.

It’s a work in progress, but you can see a demo of the upcoming blog functionality here: http://demo.simonswiss.com/boomblog/ (click on the “blog—>” menu item.

Let me know if you have any other question!

It’s Great!

One Question More, Can I Change “Show Details” for “Show Tutorial” and I put de Video in VIMEO PLUS there.?¿

Yes there is a setting in the theme options panel to change this wording.

Vimeo videos work fine too!

Thanks for the question, somewhat in the MODx 2.3 does not appear -> System -> Package Management

If you don’t see the Theme Options, you need to manually install the “ClientConfig” package in the package manager. For some reasons it doesn’t import all the time when installing.

PS: the blog functionalities & disqus comments are not implemented yet on the theme – and you won’t be able to download an update version without a valid purchase code.

If okay, I could tell how much I would charge for install it? Now I have the hosting ready.

You can send me your hosting account details via my contact form on my profile.

Alternatively, instead of charging for the installation, you could purchase a licence of the theme and then get access to free updates and support.

I would then then be happy to help you out with installation for free and help you implement the blog / comments in portfolio when i add the features to the next update.

Okay, I’m going to do. Well I spend my money in the Market Bundle, but I’ll buy your license so you can help me, it would be safer on Monday. Thank you, I hope it will help me with this project.

Yeah, i was suggesting this because the bundle doesn’t give you access to future updates, and the comments feature is not implemented yet, so you would not have had access to it.

I will help you out setting up the theme so you can get started building your site

I have consulted and I have not much budget, I almost went what I had to buy this, buy me other templates that I came out as $ 100 and I did not do well, I wanted to try this last to see how it goes, you think you can just tell me how much I would charge only if installed?

I await your response, I hope to launch the project at that site to sell my courses I do graphic design, with that you get more budget and buy a license for future updates.

Thank you, I hope you understand me.

Not sure i understand completely, but if you send me your hosting / login details by e-mail (use my contact form on my profile) i will see what is missing from your installation.

I won’t charge anything for that if you already have the MODX site and theme imported, and just need the ‘ClientConfig’ package to be installed – it’s a very quick procedure.

Thank you so much, now I just submit.

Excuse my English, I speak Spanish better.

No problem! I have responded to your e-mail.

Hi! the FTP will send data. You can access?

Checking now

Uploading via FTP worked like a charm. You can now see your website running the demo site exactly like it is on the item preview.

Have fun customizing it to your needs

These seem like cache errors that i cannot reproduce, can you try clearing the cache?

I guess you got your version via the envato bundle – a major update has been released since but you won’t be able to download it without a valid individual purchase licence.

Thanks!

So what ? I’ve got the theme via a legal way, i need the update, if not this is not fair, i need my website work perfectly

please send me the corrected theme

Did you install some sort of security / HTML stripping plugin? The video iframe should work out of the box in the split section.

No, I didn’t install plugin. In the split=> template variable=> Video Embed Code, I have copy/paste the iframe of your vimeo test or a iframe of youtube and i saved. The save didn’t work. I have look in firebug and i get a 404 error on connectors/index.php

Can you send me a login to your manager? I tried to login with the credentials you sent to me on 29th september but they are no longer working.

How to send to your personal email ?

click on my profile, you’ll find a contact form in the righ hand sidebar

Hi,

Sorry for the delay, just seeing this now. Seems like you got it sorted? I checked your link and the theme is showing properly.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Simon

double post

When the page loads I get the following error:

Open the console and you will see the erorr.

In the admin I get the followin errors:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘prototype’ of undefined Uncaught TypeError: b[(d.xtype || e)] is not a function Uncaught TypeError: b[(d.xtype || e)] is not a function Uncaught TypeError: b[(d.xtype || e)] is not a function Uncaught TypeError: MODx.SearchBar is not a function

Please let me know what version of modx you have tested the theme so I can install that version.

Thanks

Hi simonswiss, please help me to fix the issue. Thanks

ALSO, is a fresh install.

Hi,

it appears `FormSave` is actually not working on recent versions of MODX – not related to the theme but the developers of this module have not ported it yet.

What i don’t get is i can see your theme working properly. The dev console errors may be related to something else than the theme. What functionality is not working for you, regardless of the console errors?

If you give me your MODx admin login me via my contact form (profile), i will have a look for you.

Regarding some of the extensions not installing with the theme – it’s a very common issue and is explained in the documentation: the theme importer module is still in development and can have various results.. This is a MODx thing and the way envato requires authors to package their themes.

I’ll have a look at your admin setup if you send me the logins – it’s very difficult to troubleshoot with just a screenshot of the console errors.

Have a good sunday!

Simon
