I dont know what kind of success i'll have from this post but struggling at the moment to get a reply on the rockettheme forums.
I have downloaded this template (Kinetic) from Rockettheme.com (demo below;)
http://demo.rockettheme.com/?template=kinetic
I have changed it to come out looking like the link below;
http://evolve.gen.nz/
However im really struggling to differentiate the footer from the rest of the website. Im looking at changing it to a light grey however I cannot make it stretch right across the website as the footer is located in the container and stops at either edge of the container.
is there anyway to make a footer colour go right across the page?
(the same as the following website, if you go down to the bottom of the page and you will see a dark grey, charcoal colour)

Any ideas on how I could get this achieved?
Thanks
You just need to edit the index.php file of the template, should be at templates/kinetic/index.php roughly. If you head to the bottom, you will find a div with rt-footer. You will want to pull this entire div statement out and paste it outside of the div with an id rt-surround. Your best bet is to find rt-debug and paste it just above.
I run a lot of sites off the base gantry template from Rocket Theme and do this type of thing often, so it should work.
Two issues you may run into. If you don't get the right closing div tag, you can get some weird output if the divs aren't closed properly. So be careful and use the indentation to help you.
Second, there may be some css styling that is specific to the old heirarchy. I doubt it in this case, but it can happen. You may have to fix some of the css styling.

I am trying to set up a simple blog using Metalsmith and the fullPage.js library.
At the moment I have a problem where the height of the section divs upon intial loading are roughly 2 times the correct size.
Ie. when it initially loads the height in the console reads 1563px.
The odd thing is that once I resize my browser window in any way ie. make it larger or smaller, the div(class='section') height will then resize to its correct height in the console and in the browser, and everything is laid out correctly again (with regular sized divs as opposed to the super tall ones that were there previously.
This initial height inconsistency is causing many issues with alignment in my layout, such as the prev/next arrows as well as the div content.
here is a link to my public git repo for this project.
If you want to run this locally you can pull it down, run npm install, then run nf start. You will then be able to access it at localhost/3000.
If anyone has any suggestions that would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
It is not ideal to just public your source. A link reproducing the error would be much better.
In any case, I believe yours is a case of missing the compulsory DOCTYPE declaration at the very start of the page.
Take a look at any examples of fullpage.js. They all have it.
Add this in the first line of your resulting HTML files:
<!DOCTYPE html>
I have a map that is 40x50 that shows when the visitor comes to the website, i would like the visitor to click the map which puts in topmost actual size 400x500 and everything beneath is blacked out, when they click off the pic it will simply vanish.
I have seem it happen in many galleries but can't seem to find one i can recode and don't even know what the actual process of doing this is called.
I believe the word you're looking for is lightbox.
See this: http://lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/
By the way, tags are for tagging what languages you are using. Appropriate tags for this post would probably be html and javascript. The image tag is alright, but without context, it's difficult to figure out how your are trying to implement it.
So this is an interesting one. I did a test of using the clown car technique for showing responsive images via svgs loaded via an object tag because I really like the approach.
Now this works all fine, except when you have a few of them on one page with the cache normally activated, you leave the site to go to anywhere else in the interwebs and then press the back button - suddenly all images are mixed up, even though the code is still correct, ie:
object 1 loads svg that shows image from object 3
object 3 loads svg that shows image from object 5
etc.
Totally random and I just can't explain how this can happen. And it only ever happens when I go back to the page via the back command of the browser (chrome).
Has anyone experienced anything like this before??
I guess I'll stick to good old normal images for now...
Just ran into the same bug. And so did Google!
I suppose we'll have to use inline SVGs as loading through <img> tags aren't a possibility for me.
If you only have a single page app, you could add target="_blank" to your <a> tags to ensure the back button will come into play far less.
Ey. I've seen the other post about Lightbox gallery effect for Flex, but after having played around with it I cant seem to get it to work 100% (The image is as small as the thumb, and I cant make it bigger). And this also lacks some functionality I'd like to have.
So, one example would be, of course, this: http://lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/
If you click any image on the image set you can swap between them with an arrow. This is what I'd like to have.
Also, it would be nice if it was possible to display the thumbnails for the other images in the same set under the bigger picture(when one image is already clicked).
I've tried to search for components like this, but I cant seem to find any other.
If any of you know of any nice components or snippets of code for this kind of effect then please let me know! =)
Kind regards,

EDIT:
So I've searched around and tried a number of examples, but I cant seem to get any of them to work. There is always an error, and none of the examples are exactly what I want.
I simply need a way to show images like Lightbox. With a prev/next arrow and maybe a close button. Nothing more than that. How would I go about making this, or use an existing component?
Im using a TileGroup to hold all my thumbs (so that they will fill out the width of the Group with more images if there are room for it). If it's possible to generate this list of thumbnails dynamically too then that would be great, but basically what I need is to show images with a Lightbox style when I click them.
Thanks! =)
I ended up just making my own lightbox effect. :)
Created an Actionscript class (based on Group) and added image loading functionality, prev/next/close buttons and borders and such. Works like a charm :)
im building a webshop in Drupal and i was wondering if you could help me with the following problem:
I got one big image frame (500x500) and 5 little image thumbnails(95x95) underneath the big one.
How can i realise that if the visitor clicks on the thumbnail, the big image frame gets filled with that specific image?
jQuery is the right direction, but the strength of Drupal is based on doing things "the drupal way", which means, I guess in your case, to use Views as the origin for the thumbnails using imagecache + lightbox, and somehow change the main "frame".
I used jcarousel in some cases (for different but similar uses) and it works nice. I guess it is possible to trick it to do what you need, or - better - to find an existing module that do what you want.
I know, many Drupal buzzwords, and a stiff curve to overcome, but this is the right direction in case you want to base your site on Drupal.
If you don't need all of these, and want a static page+jquery, Drupal might be an overkill altogether.
If you use Views, Imagecache, and the Lightbox2 module, you can create image galleries out the arse and tell it to link the field to its large size and use Lightbox2 as the method. This is how I do most of my galleries.
Drupal uses jQuery so you can write a simple jQuery script to handle this (not sure if there's already a plugin to do that). Just add all the img tags (make sure all of them except the first one are hidden[display=none]). Then when a thumbnail is clicked/hovered do a $(big_img_holder).replace() with the tag for the image to be shown. Tell me if you want to see some code and I'll try to show you.
You can see this plugin as an exapmle. Just replace the numbers on the right with thumbnails and you're ready to go ;-)
