    How would I range the image size in the portfolio? would I do that with the css?

  3. Pritesh Gupta September 29, 2011 at 12:22 am #

    Yes, in CSS. I guess its the portfolio class.

    Hi Pritesh

    Quick question about the gallery page:  I am adding another section for videos within the gallery box and am getting results I want to change.  The new added is made up of items to open youtube videos in the prettyphoto viewer.  The images used for each item are extending beyond the boundry of the box, even though they exist with the <div class="box".  I have looked through the css to see if i noticed a height being set anywhere and did not see anything.  Do you have any thoughts or ideas of what I can investigate to have the box fully contain all the elements that exist inside it?

    Thank you for any thoughts you may have.

    appartenly my incomplete html in my text has caused some strange results in my message above.

  13. Joe October 23, 2011 at 11:05 am #

    Hello Tim or anyone

    Could you please help on how you have successfully integrated Youtube Video Clip inside the Prettyphoto gallery.  I’m not good in Javascript programming.

    Thank for you help. Also many thanks to Pritesh.
    Best regards

    Joe

    Great work man – Love this template a lot.

    Just wondering how to prevent the slider from going backwards to the first slide when it reaches the end. I want it to just slide forward to the first slide without going through the others. My JS skills are lacking!

    Thanks!

    Hey, great work Pritesh! Im working on a mac and the websites works perfectly in browsers like Firefox and Safari, but when I viewed it in Internet explorer the images of the slide show are not in the slide show anymore but they are showed listed under each other. What could be the problem? Please help me.

    Hi,
    Love this theme!
    Is there some way to get it into WordPress?

    / Anders

  21. feganmeister January 11, 2012 at 9:02 am #

    I love this theme… But I thought I’d make a quick post to share how you can make this page render in < IE9 browsers. Add the following to the   section:

    document.createElement(‘header’);
    document.createElement(‘footer’);
    document.createElement(‘nav’);
    document.createElement(‘hgroup’);
    document.createElement(‘article’);
    document.createElement(‘section’);

    Enjoy! =D

    Awww! It stripped my html =(  How do I post code?

  23. Linda January 11, 2012 at 3:42 pm #

    cannot open with EW4 or EW3

  24. Prabhavkhandelwal January 12, 2012 at 2:05 am #

    It is, awesome! Great job!

  25. Mike January 16, 2012 at 2:32 pm #

    Any chance you will be transferring this to a WordPress theme?

  26. Radu January 19, 2012 at 3:56 pm #

    Hello! I am new to HTML5 and I would like to know how can I install this template on a server with a website? What software do I have to use? Thanks!

  27. Jim January 24, 2012 at 12:46 am #

    This website template is beautiful, but the css file is madness.

  28. Wall mail January 26, 2012 at 12:38 am #

    nice template….

  29. hasan January 29, 2012 at 10:40 pm #

    thanks,..

  30. Dante January 31, 2012 at 3:33 pm #

    If i would like to modify and post my articles, am i supposed to modify the html code, right? Thanks!

  31. Sm February 4, 2012 at 3:13 pm #

    should i load automatically all images from folder?

  32. Andre February 8, 2012 at 12:11 am #

    IE 8 browser to the page gets all unconfigured. anyone know why? or how to solve?

  33. feganmeister February 8, 2012 at 4:45 pm #

    Yeah, IE8 isn’t supported on this template. The problem is caused by IE8 not recognising the document elements it needs to render correctly. One solution is to add the necessary elements. Try something like this…

    In the head section add the following line:

    Then in the [filename].js file add the following:
    document.createElement(‘header’);document.createElement(‘footer’);document.createElement(‘nav’);document.createElement(‘hgroup’);document.createElement(‘article’);document.createElement(‘section’);That should see you right, hope it works for you

  34. feganmeister February 8, 2012 at 4:54 pm #

    That didn’t work too well, code can be found here:

  35. Andre February 9, 2012 at 1:04 am #

    Perfect, thank you!!

  36. Myo February 16, 2012 at 2:27 am #

    hi pritesh, thank you very much for the theme.

  37. Geoff Fellows February 17, 2012 at 12:57 pm #

    Thanks for sharing the template.  Solid work.  

    I’d love to see what some of the people on this comment thread have done with it.  Post some URLs people!

  38. Blair February 24, 2012 at 7:17 pm #

    This template is fabulous – I’ve re-designed my entire site using it. Just one thing is SOOOO frustrating me. I’m trying to add the little ‘Facebook’ icon at the top beside the ‘Contact’ type and for some reason the graphic doesn’t show up there. It kicks it down to the line underneath. I’m sure it has something to do with the .css ().

    Anyone have any suggestions??

    Thanks,Blair

  39. Daniel March 29, 2012 at 3:48 pm #

    The template is awesome!! I was wondering how to get additional icons for the “we are social” section? Youtube especially, pinterest (I don’t even know this one but people are using it), or tumbler. Any help is greatly appreciated.
