hiatus.
Just to let anyone checking this blog for answers to questions, I am currently on hiatus. The blog will stay in place so the theme codes remain available.
I love your 003!! *w* Unfortunately when I click the 2nd icon (and others) it doesn't display the info :( help please?
(003) and also if I click on one tab and then another, then go back to the first tab the info disappears. Aaah. This is a wonder page and I'm hoping it has a solution :(
Hi, I’m sorry you’re having issues. It’s hard to tell exactly what the problem is without seeing the code, however I would check all your tags are closed correctly as this often causes issues. If you’d like to link me to the code, I should be able to figure it out (I never post links publicly in case you’re worried!)
hi, i'm working with your page 3 (w/ filters) and i saw you told another anon not to touch the script at all--if i use a different div name for some of the containers would it be okay to just change the corresponding ones in the code? or will that break it?
It’s absolutely fine to touch the script if you feel confident doing so and changing the container names shouldn’t cause any issues. Let me know if any problems crop up though!
Hi! :) I'm encountering two problems with your (wonderful btw) page 003: I copied-pasted the exact code (and changed it a little) but when I wanna click on one of the filters (and after many verifications) it still doesn't work. Second problem is: I don't have any image showing up when I click on a tab, even without edit them, I don't have the 'pastebin' ones showing and I don't understand why! It would be awesome if you could check this :s (sorry for my bad english btw ^^')
It sounds like the javascript code isn’t working - I can’t tell exactly what’s gone wrong without looking at the code, but check to make sure you haven’t accidentally edited the Javascript code at all (it goes between the and tags). Alternatively, if you have“Always serve blog over SSL” turned on in your blog settings, this will cause the javascript to break.
If it’s neither of these I would need to look at the actual code to see what’s gone wrong - if you send me the link it won’t be posted publicly.
On your Page 004/Playlist theme, I can't get the audio tracks to work. I uploaded them to DropBox, and copy/pasted the URLs but they still won't play.
You can’t usually copy/paste the URLs directly - try following the instructions in this post.
Hey so same anon as before! I meant to say can each row of the theme have more then 3 icons. Right now each row has 3 icons no matter how many we add and i was wondering if the menu can be changed so that we can have more than 3 icons displayed in each row?
Ah sorry I misunderstood! Yes if you find “ul#menu” and shortly underneath that you should see "width: 220px”. If you increase that number you will be able to fit more on a line - increasing to 290px allows for four. You may also want to adjust the “left: 10%” number if you find it doesn’t fit well on the screen.
Hey! I was wondering if for the theme /post/122015817971/ it was possible for me to have each row display more boxes than just 3? I changed the left margin to make more space for the others but only 3 show up nonetheless. Thanks so much!
Sure - just copy and paste the code for the existing icons, it should look like this:
hey, I think there is a problem on your page 004, the playlist one, when you go to regulate the volume in the theme and hover the sound icon, the sound bar appears but disappears immediately as soon as you try to regulate it. is there any way to get it to work?
This actually looks like it’s just a bug in Firefox. In other browsers it appears to work fine. I’m working on a fix for this but at the moment it looks like Firefox may not support some of the coding I used to make this.
So, I'm using page 003 [amazing job, btw] and everytime i go to click on one of the filters, nothing happens, even though from what i can tell, the coding is the exact way it should be. i was wondering if it's because all of my images have this filter on it, alongside the 'all' filter?
It’s difficult to say exactly what this is without seeing the code. I would check to make sure that the “data-filter” part of your checkbox code matches the class on your images. If this matches and all images have that filter though, then all images will always show - so it may look like nothing is happening.
for page 003 can you help me with the 'data-filter=' and the 'class=' because i really don't understand it. thank you in advance
Of course!
So basically there’s two important elements when using the filter - the icons and the checkboxes which you use to decide which icons you want to display.
The checkboxes are represented in the code like this:
Option One
The above is the code for one checkbox.
The icons are represented like this:
So, essentially whenever you click a checkbox the code finds the part that says ‘data-filter=“”’ and takes whatever is between those quotation marks. It then hides any icons which do not have a matching class.
For example, say I was making a page listing a lot of pets. I might want to filter out only cats. In this case I would have a checkbox for “cats” like so:
data-filter=“cat”>Cat
I have highlighted in bold the data-filter part where you can see I’ve added ‘cat’.
Any icon of a cat would then look a bit like this:
You can see that the class=“cat” matches the data-filter=“cat”. This means when you click the checkbox above which has data-filter=“cat” the code will find this icon and make sure it is visible.
Of course the cat might have many different attributes - you might also want to filter by the fact it has black fur and green eyes, so your icon code might end up looking more like this:
However, whenever you click that checkbox above it will see that data-filter is set to “cat” and find any icons which also have a matching “cat” class.
I hope this makes sense and clears things up! I’m not great at explaining I know.
Is there any way to make it so that you can deselect filter options on page 003? Right now I have to reload the page to unselect one of them and it's quite annoying.
You can’t deselect an option, if you just want to view all of the options in a given category select the “any” or “all” options.
hi, I'm currently using your #5 theme and i'm really confused on how to change the pages icon? i love your themes by the way, they're rad!
Thanks! I’m assuming by icon you mean the circular image on the top left hand of the page? In the main page where you go to edit your theme (where you can adjust the colours etc.) shortly underneath the description box you should see a line that says “Sidebar”. Click the pencil icon next to that and it will let you upload a new icon image of your choice. Hope this helps!
Hello! I really love your page 003 but is there by any chance I could get it with white container? Thanks
Of course you can. There’s a couple of parts to change.
If you find the line in the code that says “#container”, shortly underneath that you should see “background-color: #1e1e1e”. Just change the “#1e1e1e” to “#ffffff” (or just the word “white”). If you’re using the page with the filter you can also find the part of the code that says “#filter” and again change the “background-color” line.
If you like, you can change the background where all your content sits. To do this you’ll need to find “#content” and adjust the background-color to whatever you see fit (maybe grey or something like that if you’re using a white background).
You might also want to change the main body background so it doesn’t all blend in together - you can do that by finding “body” and changing the background color. Hope this helps!
Love your playlist page! I was wondering how you managed to get the song urls from Dropbox though? Whenever I try, I can only get the "share" link and that doesn't play.
