I really like this theme, the only thing that’s keeping me from purchasing it is the calendar; it’s too difficult to use. It would be nice if I could get a Bootstrap modal (instead of an alert window) when clicking on a date, and it would be really nice if I could change the name of an event (or delete it!) once it’s been placed. As it is now, I’m sorry to say, it’s pretty much unusable.
Hi, I’m glad you liked the theme. The calendar plugin is very flexible. You can check its documentation and tweak the plugin to your needs. There are other plugins too available.
HI, about when to have the new version? I have some BUG currently experiencing an urgent problem. Please tell me about the time, thank you!
Hi sorry to hear that. I was on vacation, so couldn’t work. We’ve started work on the next release now. You can expect the new release in Feb.
I just purchased the theme and got busy digging into it. I have a question about the CSS. You say ‘built on the top of latest Bootstrap 3’ but when looking through the pages, I hadn’t seen a single page that actually uses the bootstrap CSS. All the main CSS is coming from cloud-admin.css.
Why?
It looks like you’ve copied the bootstrap CSS into the cloud-admin.css and then chopped it up and added your own custom CSS. Why not leave the bootstrap files intact and add your custom CSS in a separate file? This will make upgrading to future bootstrap releases so much easier and cleaner.
On top of that there’s parts of the bootstrap files I don’t need or want to use. If the files were used separately, I would customize bootstrap and optimize my file sizes. With your setup I cannot do that. I’m stuck using your cloud-admin.css that’s 9000 lines of code.
Is there anyway to get these files separated out?
Hi Kurison,
Thank you for the purchase. Let me try and explain my design process and why everything is coming from cloud-admin.css.
1. Why is everything in one CSS file? A: That’s because it makes upgrading to a new version of Bootstrap easy and hassle free.
2. How? A: The theme uses LESS (a preprocessor to CSS) to generate the final CSS file cloud-admin.css. In the LESS folder you’ll find two things:
a) A folder named bootstrap – it contains the latest Bootstrap src code
b) A folder named less – it contains all the less files and Cloud Admin related custom css (or LESS to be more specific)
Now what happens? Now in the LESS files, reference to the bootstrap files are included. So when we compile the LESS files to generate the final CSS files, it takes the references from the bootstrap folder and generates a single file viz. cloud-admin.css
3. So how can I generate my own less bulky, custom version of cloud-admin.css? A: You can easily follow this article : http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/594098/How-to-customize-Twitter-Bootstrap-to-fit-your-web to get a detailed idea of how this whole thing works and create your custom cloud-admin.css file.
4. Why on earth did you go with this approach? I want to kill you. A: Mainly because it is the preferred way of customizing Bootstrap: Bootstrap is a framework and everyone knows that it is not a good practice to change the main framework files to customize it. Why? Because, First, this frameworks may get updates from time to time and that way you will need to do the customization to the new version again! Also, that way you may mess up the frameworks files and the framework may not work the proper way again!
5. Ok, why didn’t you include this info in your documentation then?
A: My bad. Will include it in the next update. Have a nice day!
when you lay it out like that it makes more sense. I hadn’t jumped on the LESS bandwagon yet so I really didn’t consider that side of building the files. Thanks for the reply
I have another question. I see you’re using jquery.cookie. I checked the documentation but I do not see anything about how you used the plugin. What elements/features are using the cookies? Will every page need that plugin?
Hi,
Cookies are used to store intermittent data about the user currently viewing the page. E.g. if the user has chosen to keep the sidebar as mini, then this preference is store in a cookie in the browser for that user only. So that when the user opens another page, the mini sidebar preference is preserved. Same with the theme color preference.
You can remove the skin preference cookie, if you intend to keep a single skin. The sidebar pref. cookie should be kept as it as or enhanced accordingly.
Hi Fametaxi, We are facing with few bugs in current version of this theme. Please guide me how to handle it.
1. There is bug Inbox > Compose > TO , BB, and CC field are merged with each other pl have a look. 2. ALL the js files are not flexible. For example on chart i want to use the interactive chart for multiple time at same page but i can not use it if i don’t use the first chart. This is not working if i don’t use
Please guide me in this regard
Thanks
Hi,
Can you kindly drop an email to fametaxi@gmail.com with your purchase code/license code. Please don’t mind, but Envato tells me that you’ve not purchased the item. We’ll surely guide our clients.
Hi, I have purchased the theme, its look great but when i want to create login page in asp.net the design is getting messed up. I think this is because of <Form> tag using in web form.
I have copied all js and css on right place. When I am running aspx page without form tag its working fine. But to use asp.net controls i have to use form tag too.
I appreciate any advice.
Hi,
Can you kindly send us a screenshot of the messed up login page with the code to our email fametaxi@gmail.com. We’ll surely guide you.
IOS 7 the mobile Navigation bar isn’t working correctly. Can u fix this?
Can you kindly send us a screenshot at fametaxi@gmail.com. Thank you.
Sent, hoping to here from you soon.
Seems the sidebar html on some pages is different. Sometimes sidebar works on mobile, sometimes it won’t. Copying html from other pages seems to solve this problem.
Can you let us know on which page you faced the problem? Thank you so much.
IE8 Fix
One of our client did a fix for IE8. Quoting him directly:If you want share with your users how we did it, we just put the jQuery 1.9.1 and use the Modernizr and Respond.js.
Thank you.
This is a question to the rest of the board who has already purchased the theme.
Do you all have anybody who you would or could recommend for developing the server side logic/ functionality? I’m even able and willing to take a shot at it myself but I’m thinking my time would be far better served by sticking to what I know best and hiring someone who knows backend programing to complete this project.
I appreciate any advice.
overall i really like it. great job!
One pre-sale question: is there simple way to apply the ‘skin’ colors from the admin ui to the frontend one? (i’d like them to match) or is it manually matching the colors between both?
Hi,
That’s a nice question. The skins are only for the admin UI. There’s no facility yet to match the colors to the frontend theme. But we like your idea. We’ll discuss among our team if this feature request can be done for a future update considering atleast some people request for it.
Thanks for the quick response, it isn’t too hard to grab the colors from admin to move over. Just hoping for something as part of the template since i’m lazy 
One more question: is there footer to the admin ui? I’m looking for a copyright, a few links. I don’t see it on the live previews.
There’s a footer section, but currently it’s in white so it merges with the page content section. You can easily add footer links there.
I bought the template and i’m looking index.html. Do you mean the section
<div class="footer-tools">? or is there another page i should check out?</div>
Sorry for the confusion. You’re correct, that’s the footer area which now contain only the “goto top” button. You may change it to any footer you like. We’ll include a proper easily editable footer in the next update.
I have a simple question.. I started using the blank_page.html and removed some of the sidebar items, and now the line that divides the sidebar from the body no longer goes to the bottom of the page.. How can I make it so the sidebar is always 100% of the window??
Thanks
Hi KPR,
Can you kindly share your dev url/IP with us by mailing at fametaxi@gmail.com so that we can check. Else, can you email us the steps and maybe a screenshot to recreate the problem. That will help us diagnose the problem.
Ideally, we’ve a javascript function that takes care of this exact situation, so we’re curious in which scenario it breaks. Will wait for your email. Thank you.
I will send code since it’s running locally in dev at the moment… Thanks..
Recently I have purchased the Admin Template. It is great to have all features in one admin template. I have question I am implementing this using PHP. usually we give form action for URL path in form action tag and based on submit click check validation or direct to new page.. <form role=”form” action=”brule/userDologin.php”> gave like this. how i get ajax response show the result …
Is there any step missing here… I didnt find anything related in Documentation.
Hi,
Can you kindly elaborate on your problem and send the steps to recreate the situation you’re in. And send a mail to fametaxi@gmail.com with the details. We’ll take it from there.
Quick question for you. Are all possible javascripts used throughout the sites pages listed in index.html?
Thanks… great theme b.t.w.
Hi, No, each page has it’s own share of javascript files. That is done to load pages faster. The javascript files can be found under the folder named “js”. It also contains all the plugins. Please refer to the documentation. Kindly send a mail to fametaxi@gmail.com if you need further assistance.
well… I asked because I am looking to make it faster via concatenating and minifying…
That’s true. You may merge them together and minify it for production environment.
V1.1.3 bug
1.modal unable to invoke any URL address 2.script.js blank_page.html page’s too much content, it makes me very difficult to streamline. 3.”Help” tab content misplaced user_profile.html page. 4.”Form element” style modal content can not be used, they are difficult to see the display.
Users of non-English speaking countries, using Google Translate, sorry! ~
Hi,
Thank you so much for reporting the bugs/glitches. We need more people reporting bugs so that we can up our game. We’ll make sure these are fixed in the next update. Happy New Year.
Happy New Year~~
Nice theme! Pre-purchase question: how difficult to configure the menu toggle to switch between No sidebar and the full (fixed) sidebar menu (avoiding the min-sidebar)? Current behavior seems to toggle between full sidebar and min-sidebar. Want to rely mostly on a top menu with the full sidebar menu for extended operations.
One feature suggestion: implement a sticky header that stays in place when scrolling down the page. This is particularly useful for mobile browsers.
Hi,
One of our client has effortlessly implemented the no sidebar to full sidebar effect without any involvement from our side. They got stuck on only one point, and we mailed them the fix. So it’s fairly easy. Some minor CSS & HTML changes & you’re good to go.
Thanks for the feature suggestion. We do have the fixed header option. Kindly check the demo. Are you talking of something else? Kindly let us know.
Found the fixed header option now – thanks!
Awesome!
Bought it and am using it on a big rails project. Awesome so far, but the non-sticky sidebar eventually drives me bonkers. Any progress with this…
You can fix the problem by setting the sidebar explicitly in javascript everytime the new page loads. But it should actually be set in a cookie so that it’s checked everytime on pageload.
We’ll add the fix in the next release. Thank you.
Hi,
Sorry to hear that. The good news is that we’ve already fixed the sidebar cookie issue in v1.1.3 (released on 7th Dec 2013). Kindly download the new bundle from themeforest and you’re good to go.
Happy New Year!
Thanks. One another note it looks like the fixed sidebar (class=sidebar-fixed) with corresponding css (position=fixed) eliminates the min-sidebar hover menu. Thoughts?
Hi,
Great find. That totally went overlooked. It’s a bug. Let us fix that in the next update. Thank you so much for finding this issue.
Hi,
Just confirming I have the same issue as beyhan80 (I think).
iPhone 5 with ios 6
To reproduce.
1) Browse the live demo page, with the themeforest frame etc removed. So just cloudadmin-theme.elasticbeanstalk.com/index.html
2) Click on the Menu (fa-bars) icon.
Hi,
Thank you for reporting the problem. We shall look into it and fix it asap.
Your theme is very nice and I’m thinking of buying. But on the iPhone (Safari) does not open the menu above. Why?
Hi,
Can you kindly share the following details on fametaxi@gmail.com
1. Your iPhone and iOS version
2. A screenshot, if possible
3. Steps to recreate the issue
First off, brilliant admin theme!
Only problem I have just noticed is when using firefox the chrome tabs don’t appear to display correctly. Is there a fix in the works for this?
Hi, Thank you for being our client. We’ve developed the theme on Firefox, so this is strange. Can you send us the following details via email to fametaxi@gmail.com
1. Which version of Firefox are you using? 2. Can you try running Firefox in safemode and report if the issue persists? Can you kindly attach a screenshot of the issue. Thank you!
Me (again) Changelog on theme forest is a nice touch, but do you use any VCS like SVN/GIT and could provide a list of changed files with a new release?
People like me implement your design and keep it in a separate project. When a new version is published I need to know which files to update in my project (since I am not using all of them).
Again – great work!
Hi, Being a developer myself, I can empathize with your problem. Let us discuss internally within our team and come up with a solution. Thank you for the suggestion. We really appreciate and want more of such constructive advice.
Viewing the code with IE causes issues if the browser is in compatibility mode which is default if I am not mistaken.. Have you ever considered forcing non compatibility mode to deal with Ie and it’s issues?
Can you kindly email us at fametaxi @gmail.com with more details like IE version and steps to recreate the issue. We’ll look into it.
email sent!
