Hi x20i,
You can find how to add the theme chooser to your page in the following documentation pages: https://pixevil.com/volta/documentation/theming/choosing-theme https://pixevil.com/volta/documentation/theming/theme-cookiesI’ll provide an update soon (estimated by the end of next week) which will include the theme chooser by default, without requiring any action from your part. Until then, if you want to implement the theme chooser, it’s very easy to do (see the two pages above).
Thank you for purchasing!
thank you cant wit for the update
hi nice theme, missing some functionality with tables, responsive tables, datatables. sidebar collapse/minimize
Hi core50,
In your opinion, what table functionality is missing? All the tables on the table page are responsive.
I’ll add sidebar collapsing in the following update.
Theme looks good! Would it be possible to add a search box at the top, and maybe a page with search results? Cheers!
Hi basslord,
Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll make sure to include these features in the next release.
how to change theme?
Hi asnim,
Please check this section of the documentation: https://pixevil.com/volta/documentation/theming/choosing-theme
Choose your theme, then simply replace the stylesheet and script tag in your HTML.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Hey, this is really beautiful and I want to buy it. Only I also need a front-end. Marketing pages and such. Many themes have those pages included. Do you have anything like that? Or do you have another front-end theme using a similar style? Or can you recommend a front-end theme that would “match” having this as the logged-in version/admin site?
Thanks!
Hi wilfra,
Volta is going to get a front end / homepage in a future update. Right now, I don’t know of any theme which I could associate with the design and style of Volta, but you’re free to look around and let me know if you find any.
Thank you for your interest!
Please, add more pages .. There are a lot of vital ones that are missing. For reference grab any admin theme out there.
Hi ApesPark,
I’ll gladly add more pages. Please let me know what essential pages you feel that are missing and I’ll make sure to provide them.
Hi pixevil,
Manu UI elements such as progress bars, switch ON and OFF, pages like: Pricing, Profile page, Locked Page (Sign In). I can give more, but for now that’s fine 
Thank you for the suggestions. I’ll make sure to add them in the next version release.
The progress bars, however can be found in the UI Kit / General page.
The next update I’ve been working on will have a major build system update to have Webpack 2 and easy templating support with PugJS.
What’s with the new (today) update?
Hi ApesPark,
There were some minor tweaks and fixes. Here’s what’s new:
## Version 1.1.4 - Fixed responsive sidebar submenu show/hide - Fixed responsive mail aside menu - Renamed EasePack.min.js to easepack.min.js
You can check the CHANGELOG.md file in the download to see the latest changes.
I will include the changelog on the item’s homepage in the future. Also, thank you for purchasing Volta! I hope you enjoy using it.
Very nice job, really nice template! I’m very happy with it so far. I’ve used it as a base template for a Django site, so far it has been a pretty easy integration. Very well designed markup structure, it has been much easier to break into components for use as Django views and templates than other templates I have used in the past.
I’ve noticed a few minor things to pass on:
The base template references “assets/js/gsap/easing/easepack.js”, in the original template file set, this file is capitalized as “EasePack.js”, this causes a file not found on servers that are case sensitive. Either the script tag or the file name should be changed so it the names match exactly, I changed it in the template and issue solved for me.
Also when using Datatables, the drop down control to allow you to specify how many entries to show, has the number cut off on the bottom. If there is a style change I can make to fix this, please let me know.
Also that drop down has a white background with light colored text, it is hard to read the number values, so the text color or drop down background color should be changed so that it is more readable.
Minor things but would be nice to resolve.
Over all a very very nice template indeed and great work. Thanks for making this template!
Hi blistering,
Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad to hear you’re having a great experience with Volta.
I’ll provide fixes to the issues you mentioned and I’ll let you know when the update is up (most likely today evening).
Thank you for letting me know!
Hello again,
As promised, I provided an update yesterday. I did not, however, find the select dropdown issue that you’re having. Can you give me details about the OS and browser that you’re using?
If you’re using Windows, it might be related to the way Windows allows select customization. If that’s the case, I’ll need to override the default styles.
Thank you once again.
Thanks for the update! Yes, I suspected that one is not that simple to fix, especially since the control is generated dynamically by Datatables. I am seeing the problem on Chrome under both Windows 7(x64) and Ubuntu 16.04. On those platforms if I go to the Live Demo here on Envato and navigate to the tables-data-tables.html page, the drop down that is rendered just above the table content (Labeled “Show __ Entries”, and provides the options 10,25,50,100) displays the default value “10”. The bottom 2-3 pixes of the text “10” is cut off and missing. I tested Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7(x64) and it is a bit different, instead of the bottom 2-3 pixels of “10” not being displayed, a few pixels from the top and a row of pixels on the bottom of “10” are cut off and not being displayed. FireFox on Ubuntu 16.04 is the same as Chrome on Win7 and Ubuntu, the bottom 2-3 pixels of “10” are cut off and not displayed.
The other issue I mentioned, that when you click the arrow on that “Show___ Entries” control to expand the drop down box, and the options (10,25,50,75) are rendered with a light font color and light background. This makes them hard to see. FireFox on Ubuntu does not have this problem, the problem does appear for me on Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 7 and Chrome (both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 16.04).
Also I was just experimenting with this a bit more on the text being cut off. I am not sure if this is the actual source of the problem but bootstrap defines the following style rule:
select.form-control:not([size]):not([multiple]) { height: calc(2.5rem – 2px); }
If I edit and change “2.5rem” to “2.7rem” the problem goes away for me, on both IE 11 Windows, Chrome Windows and FireFox Ubuntu. Chrome Ubuntu only seems to need it changed to “2.6.rem” to eliminate the cut off “10”.
Hopefully that information is helpful. I haven’t been able to investigate the color/font background issue further yet.
Also one more thing that may be related to the above mentioned font being cut off: I notice that in the developer console for Chrome, I see a lot of font parsing errors by the browser when pulling up a page with the template, Windows+Ubuntu: “OTS parsing error: incorrect file size in WOFF header” and “OTS parsing error: Failed to convert WOFF 2.0 font to SFNT”.
On IE for WIndows I see: “CSS3111: @font-face encountered unknown error. File: ProximaNova-Extrabld.eot” On IE the errors appear to be only with the ProximaNova font.
On Chrome it appears to be with regards to all the fonts, including font awesome and pe.
On FireFox Ubuntu, I see: “downloadable font: Failed to convert WOFF 2.0 font to SFNT (font-family: “Proxima Nova” style:normal weight:normal stretch:normal src index:1)” and “rejected by sanitizer (font-family: “Proxima Nova” style:normal weight:normal stretch:normal src index:1)”
This occurs both when I load the pages locally of the file system or via a server, and I see the errors when visiting the demo site.
So maybe it is possible that for me the proper fonts aren’t rendering and the browser is using a different font and that is why I am seeing the problem with the Datatable control.
More information on the font console errors. I downloaded and compared the official font-awesome fileset with those in the theme.
It appears that the font files have an extra byte added to the end of the file that is throwing off the font file validation by the browser. If you compare the file lenghts, the font assets in the theme are greater than the official distribution by one byte. That one byte is a line feed character (0×0A).
My guess would version control software on your end is treating the font resources as text instead of binary content and appending the line feed character to the end of the file. I replaced the pixeden and font awesome files in the template with their official distribution download and removed the line feed char from a few of the Proxima Nova woff2 files to test. With those changes the browser console warnings went away,
No change to the font displayed, so despite the browser warning messages mentioned above, it was still loading the fonts correctly. So that is not causing the “10” text issue.
I’ve provided an update that fixes the cut off problem, solves the white text on gray background problem and sets the correct name of easepack.min.js. Indeed, the height was not big enough and the inherited padding was cutting off the text in some browsers.
I’m not seeing any console output about fonts, however. Will need to investigate this. Are the parsing errors showing on the presentation website or locally?
Thank you for the help so far, wouldn’t have noticed these problems because I assumed Chrome will work the same way on Windows and macOS. Seems like that’s not the case.
I’ve provided further compatibility fixes between macOS and Windows. The font parsing error seems to be suppressed by macOS. I’m working on bundling the fonts directly from their repository or removing the line feed directly.
Once again, thank you for pointing it out.
What about touch devices?. On Android / Chrome not working left sidebar and top menu not scrolling.
Hi shatan,
Looking into it. Seems to be working on different browsers. I’ll need to find the cause. There will be an update soon.
Hi shatan,
I’ve fixed the sidebar scroll in a recent version. Can you try to see if everything is alright now?
About the top menu I’m not sure where the scroll issue appears, can you help me out with some more information?
This template really blew me away. I’ve rated it 5 stars to support your work.
Really can’t wait to see what you come up with in the future updates.
Wow, thank you very much!
I’m sure you’ll love it. There are some great updates coming soon!
Hi, thanks for this amazing template.
Since there are 40 pages and it does not use a frame, if I want to implement a feature or make a change to the template, does that mean I have to copy and paste it for 40 times? Also, what code to add to make it possible for user to choose the theme (just like the demo). I can take care of the cookie, but would you please advise the HTML code to add into the template?
Thank you again for the awesome work!
Hi OneTwoThreeFour,
My layouting is implemented in Opulent, a Ruby template engine. I thought it might be too complicated to include in the build system, but I’ll try to see how it works out. Alternatively, I might make a simple template builder app. At the moment, the best option is to split one page into parts yourself and include your modified versions of the sections through a backend language, like PHP.
I’ve already added a simplified build system for automatically transpiling and optimizing assets (stylus, sass, coffeescript) and a lightweight nodejs server in the latest version. Make sure you check it out if you haven’t. It also comes with a new Build System section in the documentation.
To implement the theme changer the only thing you’ll need is the assets/js/themes/themable.js file and implement cookies. The themable.js file injects your HTML with the navbar item needed change the themes. You can find out how to do that in this page of the documentation: https://pixevil.com/volta/documentation/theming/theme-cookies.
You’re welcome! Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.
Hi there’s a typo in the filename of themable.js, which was spelled as themeable.js. But thank you for the detailed answer!
Good find, themeable is the correct word! I’ll update the documentation accordingly. Thank you for letting me know.
I’d be very thankful if you could take the time to leave a rating for Volta. If there’s anything else I can help you with, do not hesitate to ask.
I love it
I’m really happy to hear that, Denizdelen. Thank you for your purchase!
Presales question: Is there a PSD of this theme? I wanted both PSD and HTML
Hi demographic, Unfortunately I didn’t design Volta beforehand. Everything is coded from how I imagined it to be. I will make a psd version of the homepage, however. You’re the 3rd person requesting it.
Thank you for your interest! Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to know.
I must say this template is awesome.thank you. I do wish there was loading icons but i already added extras. Just AWESOME.
Hi jtjme2000, thank you very much! I’m happy to hear you enjoy using Volta.
On the development roadmap I’m looking forward to developing a landing/home page for the dashboard and maybe including an Angular 2 version. Afterwards, I might get working on displaying loading icons where needed, which is indeed a good suggestion.
Thank you once again for purchasing and for the kind words!
I’m impressed with the design and code quality, gave you a good review! Can you include the build system in the download as well?
Thank you for the review, PerfectBlueStudio! I’ll include the Gulp build system in the following update.
menu scrolling is not working on touch devices.
Hi koza95, I’m looking into it. Can you tell me what device you’re using? You’re referring to the left sidebar, am I correct?
Looks like it’s related to the scroll plugin I’m using. I’ll replace it with a native scrolling alternative for mobiles and tablets.
Im using iPad 3 with iOS 9.2
I’ve fixed the issue and uploaded an update. It should be live soon. Thank you for letting me know!
good job, nice ! i wish you lots of sales and a nice weekend 
Thank you, Eric! I wish you a great weekend as well.
Amazing Work, Good Luck With Sale
Thank you very much, zcubedesign!
