Thanks to Lea's question one of my queries were answered.

But, I have been trying to figure something out which is eating my head up since I have tried everything.

How on earth do I add a footer to the template

I want to put a footer saying copyright ToS etc etc.

But, everything I add doesn't show up or shows up at the top of the page. But, I don't want to do a hit and try method and add multiple para breaks in there.

Please help me out guys, But I must say really really impressed with the Fold Template

Also, I was looking for the Fold instruction manual like the template says where it says the topography is awesome like always...

Would appreciate it guys thanks

Hi Ankush,

I just updated the template in the download area to 1.2 which includes the footer and the styles.css stylesheet.

Ill add a more detailed tutorial later today ... but this is from the product page.

There are a total of 8 modules used in this template and they are all contained within the horizontal sliders. The main content window is the first window open and the user modules 1 to 8 follow sequentially behind them. You need to set the number of modules in the index.php file in order to calculate the correct width that the accordion should open.

Hey,

Thanks for the footer, it really helps. Also, can you please help me one something else.

I am setting it up at http://amdesigns.us/index.php

I want to disable the Opening Page which says 'Nothing to display here" I want to set it up such as that the opening page is actually the module on user1.

Any suggestions.

Also, is it true what I noticed, only one module per page?

Thanks

You can change what is displayed at the opening fold by opening the index.php file and replacing the mosmainbody tag with mosloadposition user1 tag. I havent put the code here as the forum will strip it but you should be able to figure it out by looking at the other user positions in the file.

Not sure what you mean one module per page. There are 8 module positions or 8 possible folds depending on what you have published.

You also need to set the number of module positions you want to use in the index file to take care of the extra space at the end of the fold on your current demo site.

Cheers Anthony.

Hey Anthony, I understood what you mean for the main page. i Just removed that and it worked.

What I meant for the module was what you explained, One page shows one module only. So if I ask it to publish 2 modules at user1 say, it only shows one of them.

Also, I can't seem to figure out a bug which showed up after I changed it to Fold
v1.2

In firefox atleast, it loads the page, then when you go down, it changes the name on the top left to 'About' and then the names on the top for all other pages are messed up, and the last two - see 2 contact us.

Again the website is at - http://www.amdesigns.us/index.php

and the code is -

Code:

$module_number ="5"; // Please enter the number of modules from user1 to user9 that you have published. This number sets the correct width of the accordion. $mouse ="mouseenter"; // Sets the action that opens/closes the accordion | click | mouseenter | mousedown $speed ="600"; // Speed that the accordion takes top open or close. $transition ="Quad"; // The type of effect that happens when the accordion opens or closes | Back | Quad | Bounce | Elastic $opening_message ="↓ Welcome to AM Designs. Roll over the colored bars on the side to surf."; // $message1 ="↓ Welcome to AM Designs. Roll over the colored bars on the side to surf."; // $message2 ="About Us"; // $message3 ="Services"; // $message4 ="Portfolio"; // $message5 ="Contact Us"; // $message6 ="Top Messages"; // $message7 ="Features"; // $message8 ="Micro Shop"; // $message9 ="Welcome"; //

Yes unfortunately on one module can be published per fold ...

Ill upload a fix for the other issue shortly.

Thanks Anthony.

Sorry, to keep troubling you. Can you also tell me how to update the template without having to reinstall the whole thing top to bottom.

Once the fix is up, I download the new file, and then should I just upload the new files apart from the index.php one? or will I have to backup my changes and then change it on the new index.php file?

THanks

Hi Ankush,

Apologies for the delay but the template has been updated with the fix.

If you want to do the fix yourself you need to open index.php in a file editor and do the following:

Note all changes occur in the head area of the template so if you havent edited that then you may just want topy the whole head.

1. Open the new file and copy everything from this text

QUOTE:
<!-- The text that fades up on rollover -->

to the bottom of that block of text to around line 141.

Then delete all text from line 147 starting "var path ..." down to line 250, where it says:

QUOTE:
style_13 = $('style13');
});

Make sure you leave one set of the closing brackets.

Everything should then be as per the most up to date version of the template.

Cheers Anthony.

Anthony,

Thanks for the fix, it worked out fine.

Also, can you tell me if it is supposed to do what it is doing in firefox?
http://amdesigns.us/index.php - The message on the top changes and looks like an earthquake for a second or two for some reason.

Its not a big problem, its just that I dont know if its supposed to do that or not, maybe its style, cause its not irritating.

Just wanted to let you know.

Love your templates and the simple series, eagerly waiting for your april one.

If you ever need beta testers do let me know

Ciao

Glad it worked Ankush ...

The message at the top should fade in and out but shouldn't be too erratic.

If you want to remove it just remove this line for each message:

QUOTE:

new Fx.Style('log', 'opacity', {duration: 300, wait: true }).start(0,1);

The April template should be due out in the next few days ... apologies for the delay ... but if you like the simple series then your gonna love this one

Ill drop you a line when we have it live for you to test ... appreciate it

Anthony.

Anthony,

The images for the bullets are missing in the fold template which you updated.

You did upload the styles.css which enabled me to use the ul tag to make a bulleted list. But, since I am not a hard core coder, I don't understand most of it.

Can you please either upload the image to a newer package or just put it here as an attachment. Also, if possible a demo would be lovely to understand how the tags in their work.

Thanks

Hi Ankush,

You can get the image directly from here:
http://showcase.joomlabamboo.com/fold/templates/fold/images/star.gif

Ive also just uploaded the styles css sheet into a new club area which has a txt file that gives you an overview for how to use the styles in that stylesheet.

The Star list can be achieved by using the following syntax:

Code:

<ul class="star"> <li>My List</li> <li>My second item</li> </ul>

I will update the template zip in the next few hours though

Anthony,

The Star image is available in the template folder.

But, if you look at the styles.css I saw other bullet image options, since the stars are a little two big and don't go with the overall template.

So, I thought those were missing, but thats ok, I will just make some of my own images.

April template looks awesome btw.

Hi Ankush,

Glad you like the new template.

Ive just released v1.4 with the images included ... it also includes a native j1.5 version.

Cheers Anthony.

Hi is there indeed a tutorial for Fold?

Hello,

The video tutorial will be out in the next few days.

For the time being the basic setup instructions are on the product page but this is the general gist:


1. You set the messages above the folds in the index.php file.
2. You also need to set the number of modules you will be publishing to the template there as well as well as the theme you want to use.
3. The folds start with the main content area in the opening fold and then they go backwards from user 1 to user 8.
4. The message numbers relate to these relative positions so message 1 is for the main content area, message 2 is for user1, message 3 is for user 2 etc.
5. The bottom module position is the footer position.

Ill post here again when the video has been posted.

Thanks Anthony.

Hi
I am attempting to use the J1.5 version of Fold. It animates wonderfully, but I have two big problems.
Firstly, I can't get any module or article to show up in it - on either of two instalations.
Secondly, if I try to alter the index.php file (so that I can make the Fold system act as a menu for the rest of a bigger site) the entire page blanks - no code published at all.

Can you help?
Ta.

Hi Simon,

Are you using the latest version of the template? The current version is 1.4.

If so do you have a link I can see what is going on?

Thanks Anthony.
