Ocean Theme

[Deak]

Hi Axis, that's great! Glad it's working for you now.

[Deak]

I've released 1.0.1 of this Theme, which includes a small bug fix where cufon'd headings where not appearing on pages other than the homepage.

You can download it from here:

http://ocean.colony101.co.uk/download/

If you have a live site, you can quickly make this fix yoruself by adding:

{JQueryTools action=incjs}

To the two content page templates.

I've also added a download for the Photoshop source files.

Loving the theme, but my client wnats the main navigation bar centered.  At the moment it is floating to the left, and I have tried text-align: center, in #navMain and #navMain ul but to no avail.  I'm sure the answer is staring me in the face, but I just need a little guidance to help me see it!!

TIA

Hi rhysdavies ,

You're probably going along the right lines with those attempts, but try deleting the float: left from #NavMain ul and/or #navMail li as well; that should let you centre the tabs.

Thanks for your quick reply.  I have tried what you suggest, but all it does is shifts the whole lot as far left as it goes and rmoves the background image on the buttons

[Deak]

Yeah, you're right, it's definitely a little more involved. You'd also probably want to repeat the technique for the sub-navigation, I guess.

I have a couple of projects landed on my desk this morning, but I'll take a look at this again later.

Loving the theme, but my client wnats the main navigation bar centered.

CSS:

Code: Select all

margin: 0 auto;
float: none

usually works for me when i want to center block elements like divs (not in ie6 -> here you have to use text-align: center). haven't looked into the themes code, though.

hope this helps

I am using CMSMS 1.6.5 and FormBuilder 0.5.12 with this theme.

When I put a form on the home page, the submission template for the form displays at the very top of the page (below the menu) as well as in the place of the form. This causes me to receive 2 emails and 2 entries into my FormBrowser database. What can I do to get only one response? The form works fine on the 1 Column template - but not the Homepage template.

Hi CMSmonkey.

I think that when the form submits, it displays its results in the content block form was placed in. Weirdly, it also seems to display in the "default" content block -- which on the homepage of Ocean is the block with the slideshow.

There may be something clever you can do with a FormBuilder form to make it display the result text on a different page; something to ask in the modules forum, I think.

You could perhaps make the block containing your form the default one (just drop its name) and give the slideshow a different name (copy paste the block content into Notepad or something before you start to save yourself and grief). A bit of a fiddle, though.

Gotcha.  I didn't know that what it was doing was replacing the {content} tag -- so I just checked off the box that said "Inline means any form followup replaces the {cms_module} tag, non-inline replaces the {content} tag" in Form Builder and now it works. 

Thanks!

@deak You might want to employ this method for keeping the footer "sticky" at the bottom of the page when the page contains a small amount of content (such as your About page on the demo):

Hi There,

This is my first post so apologies if it's in the wrong place.

I've installed the Ocean theme and it's great, so easy to use and edit. However I'm really struggling with the image slide show on the main page.

Can somebody please explain where exactly I need to insert the bulleted list and what format (what it should look like) the list should be in. This is the only thing I've had problems with for the last few days.

I would be so grateful for any help.

Kindest Regards

Hylt

Hi Deak,

thank for Ocean template nice, easy. great!

But i have a question. i'm a beginner on CMS and Databases, so..
i want a navbar like in the original CMSMS's template.
i mean a drop-down menu.
I tried to find a way to fix it, but it's too hard for me.

Do you have any advice for me?
thank you.

Hi,
I can't have the sub-menu (drop-down menus) whereas my menu works correctly with other themes.
And I did not really understand how to make the images appear for the slider. I made a list with the images inside but it doesn't work.

[Deak]

Hi, apologies for not replying -- the forum seems to have stopped sending me notifications when people post replies to this. I've re-subscribed to it, so hopefully that has fixed it.

The slider menu is really easy, you don't need to do anything special at all (although I strongly suggest you resize your images to 608px by 210px). For example, here's the markup for the slider on the demo site:

All the clever stuff happens by the jQuery identifying the list as being inside the following element in the template (you shouldn't need to worry about this):



Here's a checklist which may be helpful:

1) Make sure you have downloaded the latest version of the Theme from here:

http://ocean.colony101.co.uk/download/

2) Make sure you installed the jQuery module.

3) Make sure you have put your unordered (bullet) list in the Content block of the homepage.

4) Make sure your have re-sized the images to fit the template.
