Dover Fine Responsive Template

[picaflor-azul]

Okay, putting a My Account link in the blank sidebox seems too difficult for me now (I know, even the simplest things can become big) and the More Information sidebox didn't appear when I turned it on. So I think I've solved my "issue" with the ezpage sidebox with just a link to My Account. Actually, the ezpage sidebox was my first thought since I've used it in the past.

Now I'm thinking of a potentially more serious issue. The lack of text content on the homepage. The slide pics are very nice and dramatic but everything I've read here at zc indicates that there should be some text.

And looking at the "main page text" in admin I just saw why I kept seeing the GHOST of the Winchester New/Featured home images: I brought it over to this template. duh. But trying text makes it hidden at the top near the logo. I wonder if text can be added maybe at the bottom below the slide? But that probably wouldn't look good.

So the choice is looks vs content text?

You need to turn off the banners from the winchester responsive templates. If you want them to show on the dover fine template you will need to adjust the z-index. The same is true of the home page text or any other page element that you want to add to the main page. Anything can be turned on, added, etc, but due the z-index on the background slide show, you will need to adjust the z-indexes of the elements so that they will show on top of the slide show.

You could also add the content in a div below the slide show. There are many possibilites---no reason to choose between content and the slide show.

As always, the free template packages are offered as a starting point. If you do not want to use them "out of the box", then you can modify them as you need to.

Thanks,

Slideshow looks great in landscape, but is distorted in portrait view on my Android phone. (LG Optimus Pro). Is anyone else seeing the same??

I think that must be another inherent issue related to Android devices. Distortion in all portrait orientations and responsive menus don't work at all on Android tablets.

I know Anne is trying to work through the Android menu issues but there are so many variables that it must be a nightmare. 3 User agents for Apple devices. 180 user agents for Android devices from our GA stats. But Android accounts for 11% of the traffic.

I would agree about the menus except I found menus in the Envato marketplace where the demos work on my Android tablets and phones.. So I'm not ready to give up on the menus yet..

The slideshow is another story.. I've had NO ISSUES with the Nivo slideshow on other sites, so I'm thinking there's an adjustment on this slideshow that is needed..

This template is using the supersized full screen slide show.

Which menus from envato work for your android tablet?

Thanks,

Thanks for the pm.

I don't know about the slide show. I will take a look at the supersized web site to see if they have any help.

What is distorted? The captions or the background images?

Thanks,

Is anyone else seeing this? On which device specifically are you seeing this? Please post so that I can figure out what is happening. I did not see this problem while testing.

Thanks,

I thought that I mentioned this in PM when I was testing the menu functionality.

Portrait orientation:
7" generic tablet
8" Galaxy Tab 3
10" Galaxy Tab 3
Motorola Razr M

BUT

I will have to retest but IIRC the distortion was browser dependent. Some browser, no distortion. Another, very distorted.
