So I have sent in two requests for support (which i have paid for) and No response in 5 days. We are getting notices on every page load Notice: Undefined index: #id in dawn_preprocess_block() (line 159 of /var/www/networkpaao/web/themes/dawn/dawn.theme) that appear to possibly causing errors downstream. What gives?

The preview doesn’t work anymore ?!

No preview came up , , ,”dawn.themeboutique.com took too long to respond”

The preview and your entire domain seem to be down… are you still around? Was interested in buying the theme…

Hi, is latest version Drupal 9.2.7 supported? Will you support in theme installation. Will you provide future updates for upcoming Drupal versions. If yes, for how long? Thank you.

preview is not loading. check it out

My site is a Portfolio site for art/drawings, so the effect and two links (more info + expand) are very useful and key for the site (actually bought it cause of that), but really would like to keep the squared preview and expand to a full image (with original vertical/horizontal). My Idea was: load a squared thumbnail and the full image(2 images), Show the thumbnail + effect of saga in the portfolio, but the expand image, load the full one. Can it be done some how? or should I modified the JS?

Hi,

Quick question about the Dawn theme for Drupal 9. Posting here as I never got reply trough the email support contact form.

1. iOs/narrow screen hover/scroll interaction on the portfolio grid (eg https://dawn.themeboutique.com/portfolio-4col). See https://youtu.be/94mUIyQG9Gc

Any comments or suggestions for improving the UX here? It is pretty impossible for the user to move up/down the portfolio page on iPhone.

Hi solidstate2000,

I apologize for the late reply, I was traveling last month and away from my laptop—and thanks for sharing the video.

In the dawn.grid.js file, I have some touchstart and touchend event listeners that appear to be firing when you try to scroll and cause the issue shown in your video. I have a maintenance release coming up for Dawn in the next week or so and will get a fix in for this issue!

Hi, themeboutique, Welcome back online!

Yes, it would be fantastic to get it solved with the maintenance release.

I also wanted to let you know about another potential issue. The sticky header menu drops down on iOS devices when scrolling down. It looks strange, especially in horizontal mode. The top menu then situated almost in the middle of the screen. We had to disable ‘Stickeness’ of the top menu on our website due to the above. On Android devices, the sticky header works as expected, always staying at the top of the page. The link below showing the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-74GLYZCU4s

Thanks!

Hello, i want to upload vertical images, but i would like that the site crop and scale it, but when i change that in the Views, it lost the effect to get the link and expand the image, is there a way to do this? (crop and scale, and keep the saga effect???)

Or if i could upload 2 images: the one showing in the home squared, croped, and then open the full image uncropped? i wouldnt mind to fix the image to square (i do it for social media) but i would like to show the full one once clicked the expand button.

Hi juanalbertoart,

Where are you trying to upload these images? Are you using the slider, the page builder, or trying to use Views? I would be happy to take a look and see if I can help!

I am using views. My site is a Portfolio site for art/drawings, so the effect and two links (more info + expand) are very useful and key for the site (actually bought it cause of that), but really would like to keep the squared preview and expand to a full image (with original vertical/horizontal).

Hi, news for D9 version?

Hi studiom3,

I have had the Drupal 9 version ready for months if you wanted me to send over the files, I’ve recently had a lot going on outside of theming and have procrastinated on getting the documentation / branding updated for Drupal 9.

Feel free to send an e-mail on my author profile page if you need the files right now, otherwise I can try to get the docs updated this weekend and submit to ThemeForest.

Hi is this theme still supported ?

Yeah, I will of course offer support for any issues or bugs—but I would recommend waiting until the Drupal 9 version is out if you are considering purchase. :)

Ok I purchase the theme when D9 is ready *the issue on mobile I found when you select RTL Language and you click on the user menu (hamburger) after that the X (close) sign is missing unlike English versions is shown.

Hi there, you said “will have a Drupal 9 version ready on the day of D9 release.” Drupal 9 was released on June 3, 2020. Any update on this? Thanks in advance!

Hi memoday,

I’ve had the Drupal 9 version ready for a few weeks, what’s holding up release is updates to the documentation along with some testing around the installation process on existing sites.

If you’re interested in doing a “full demo” installation, I could send you the files today—I have the code for the theme / modules ready. Otherwise, I would estimate a week or so before it’s on ThemeForest. :)

Hello, We cannot change the display of the “Portfolio” content in Structure> Content types> Portfolio> Manage fields. When we want to add a link or a comment or another? the created field is present in the back office but not on the front end? Do you have a solution ? thanking you in advance. cordially

Hi oco14,

Instead of going to the “Manage Fields” tab, you’ll want to go to the “Manage Display” tab.

From here, there should be a group of sub tabs for each view type. If you modify the “Full content” view under the Manage Display tab, you should be able to control the field display and add in new fields (ie. add a link, comment, etc).

I would attach a screenshot, but Envato’s comment functionality doesn’t allow attachments. Feel free to reach out via e-mail if you need me to show you an example. :)

Hello,

Thank you very much for your quick response. I finally deleted the cache before integrating the fields.

I have another question about portfolio images, do I have to respect an image size?

In advance, thank you for your answer. cordially

By default, any image size is accepted and will be utilize Bootstrap’s img-fluid class to make the image responsive. The theme is designed to use square portfolio images, but if you uploaded a rectangle, it would still work—it just may not look very nice.

If you want to force an image size, however, you can use Drupal’s image styles and apply the style to the portfolio image under the “Manage Display” tab by editing the display settings for the image field. I typically use the scale/crop effect when enforcing an image size.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions!

Hi team, I cannot see your demo.

Hi jbananero, what do you see instead of the demo?

I just checked the demo at https://dawn.themeboutique.com/ and it seems to load as expected. Feel free to reach out on our author profile page with a screenshot, I would be happy to investigate. :)

I recently bought this theme and installed it in my D8.76 website without difficulty. I was able to set up the saga slider. However I soon realised the saga builder content type ‘custom blocks’ would not display certain elements correctly. The Drupal block in saga builder also does not work. I tried to register in the author’s ‘themeboutique’ page so I could get some support via the forum or the author but strangely the site told me my purchase code was invalid! I am still within the default support period following the purchase.

Hi Maplinx,

I can see your purchase was recent and your purchase code is in fact valid, can you send me a message on my author profile page with more details about the problems you’re having? I’d be happy to help you resolve these issues!

Just observed above reply. I have sent you a message from your profile page

Perfect, I just sent you a response. I’m curious to see if you’re getting any 404s in the console, it sounds like certain JS/CSS files may not be loading? Nobody has reported any of the issues you’ve mentioned, I think the cause may be unique to your setup. Once we’re able to determine what is going on it should be a simple fix!

Hi, I am close to buy Dawn as it seems to fulfill my requirements but is it possible to make a presale check whether I get it run on my server as I am using NGINX, PHP 7.3.Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS managed by Plesk etc. ?

Hi Kulturmensch,

I don’t see why it wouldn’t run on that environment, you should be fine!

The Dawn package you will download here at ThemeForest only contains the theme itself and some modules, Drupal core does not come packaged with the theme—any server that supports Drupal 8 will support Dawn will run as well. :)

Thank you for the quick reply, I plan to setup my new page over the weekend. Some final questions. Does DAWN work with the present Drupal 8 Version 8.7.7 and will it work with Drupal Version 9 expected to become published next year? And, my new page will exist of three components: Photoarchiv, Blog and Forum. Do you think your theme is the right start for this plan?

Yeah, Dawn works with 8.7.7 and will have a Drupal 9 version ready on the day of D9 release.

As far as your components go, you can see what Dawn has available on the demo site—the theme comes with the gallery and blog functionality you’re looking for, but does not have any functionality supporting the “forum” module in Drupal core. Any functionality surrounding the forum in core would be yours to maintain (ie. custom styles, theming).

Hello! A couple of things:

1. I tried to register for support through the themeboutique.com page, and my code did not work, even though I followed the instructions.

2. After creating a Saga Slider (no styles showing), the Block is NOT created. Can you please help on this.

Thank you, Paola G.

Hello,

Do you have any updates on item #1?

I have upgraded to the latest Drupal 8.7.7 and the Saga Slider is working fine, however, after the upgrade I cannot edit any menus. I get the “website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later” error.

Hi themeboutique, It’s been over a month and still have not heard an answer back from you after your first email. I emailed back and still no luck. I purchase this theme and it’s very frustrating not to get answers… I’d appreciate a response back via email, as you have requested. Thank you.

I was finally able to do some research and look into your issue, it turns out the problem is with the menu_link_content module in Drupal core and unrelated to the theme. I just sent an e-mail with a few links to issues posted on Drupal.org with more information, it seems the issue is quite common.

A patch was recently posted on drupal.org (18 days ago at the time of writing this) but has not been implemented into Drupal core quite yet, I’d be happy to help you get things working for the interim. Let me know if you have any questions after reading the e-mail I just sent!

Hi, Q1: When your theme publish for Drupal 8.7.6 ? Q2: Does it support RTL language when it come with drupal 8.7.6 ? Thanks

Thank you for reply ! on thing more ” I don’t see any gear/icon for testing RTL languages in the demo ” I think it should be something link www.example.com/ar or www.example.com/fa “

Hi, I’m Still waiting for Drupal 8.7.6 fully support of RTL languages ? any news at your side , I don’t see last update version !

Hi Davoudnajjari,

I apologize for the delay, an update for Drupal 8.7.6 was just released. If you’re still interested in purchasing Dawn, I’ll have a subsequent update with an update for the RTL stylesheet online by end of day tomorrow.

Hello … This is a pre-sales question,

You estimated Drupal Commerce availability around May 2019. This is July. Any news on a release date?

Also, if I purchased the current version, will there be an upgrade path to the new commerce version?

Thanks

... GREAT looking theme by the way and GREAT reviews … congratulations!

Hi dlfroe,

Thanks for your kind words! Commerce functionality is still planned, yeah, along with an update to the design—this summer I’ve been a bit busy with another project, I apologize for the delay. :(

As far as the upgrade path goes, you won’t have to do much on your end. Many of my customers are not developers, so I aim for “turn key” solutions that don’t require a lot of technical knowledge. I am writing a “Dawn: Commerce” module that will auto install the necessary content types, views, etc. when the module is enabled.

I hope this info helps, let me know if you have any more questions!

Thank you for the QUICK reply.

Based upon your response concerning an “auto install” feature, I’m going to go ahead and purchase the “Dawn: Multipurpose” Drupal 8 Theme. I will be watching for the “Commerce” module. Hopefully, it will be here around August or so. ;-)

Again, thanks for your quick reply and a GREAT template.

P.S. Is it possible to be notified when the Commerce module becomes available?

I can shoot for August, the fact that you are actually requesting the functionality is motivating—maybe others are interested in this addition as well. :)

If you could send a message through my author profile page, I’ll have access to your e-mail address and can notify you when the Commerce has been implemented.

Alternatively, I can respond to this comment and Envato should kick off an e-mail to you. Let me know what you prefer!
