Hypershot - Brick album - Link on Image

Teknix

Hi guys,

first of all, nice theme . I hope I can get it to look just like the demo .
Second of all -> I'm more or less a complete JS/WP/HTML noob... I know some C++ though so coding is not completely off limits for me...
I am sure I will have some more questions but lets go for the first one :

I have my album, as bricks, now, I want to add a detailed description to each image - in slider mode, I have the possibility to hover the mouse over the image and in the bottom I have the "image info" thingy..- is there
a - The possibilty to activate this for the bricks theme?
or
b - The possibilty to have a link to a wordpress "blog page - whatever page" containing the detailed description ?

if a or b is a yes, please tell me which css/js/ or whatsoever files I need to inspect and please, if possible, hint me in the right direction!

The link to my page - I don't really feel comfortable sharing it right now but ... ok here we go - is http://www.sandvfx.com/album/3d/

Thank you guys very much, I see how much work you put into replying here and I have already searched the hypershot forum for this kind of problem...

Kind regards

Teknix

I have found this part - inspecting the element -

<!---<img src="http://www.sandvfx.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Mach3.jpg" height="262" width="465.77777777777777"> ---!>
<!--- <a class="nyroModalPrev" href="#">previous---!>
<!---<a class="nyroModalNext" href="#">next ---!>

and I - somehow guess :P - that the stuff needs to go in between the tags, where is this generated? will there be an easy way to manage the "link" this directs to from wordpress ( I guess the answer is no.. )
Any other "solution" options? Ideas ? Comments ?
The only thing, that I don't like about the slider, in case you ask "why not use slider album" is that the client would need to go through the entire album to see all images, whereas, in brick mode he can choose what he liks and click on it directly..
Thanks !

Hello there:-)

AFAIK title of photo will show up in "lightbox" when you will click it . There is no much space to place description in bricks theme anywhere. That is why we have Full theme, as there we have more space to place everything.
Linking to other page is not possible.

Teknix said: why not use slider album

Exactly ;-) You can always enable thumbnails to be visible from start and your client will have almost same number of visible items to click as in bricks theme.

I must tell you that this would require much things to change(and even I will have hard time with editing this) and I feel ashamed that I didn't make it more elastic.

Summarize:
As you thought, best would be to use slider album :-)

With regards.

Hi Air,

thank you very much for your reply, I think the solution you gave me for the slider album is ok. I will think about how to do it, I didnt know the thumbnails options effect so thanks again for pointing that out !
One more question, in the themes appearance settings, I can change the colour of Headers and Titles Font (and links and stuff) , but where can I change the "normal" font color that appears in a normal page ( Absatz in german WP / Translation would be Heel/Passage ) ? Is that possible ?

Is it ok if I post more questions in here or do you want me to make a new thread?

Kind regards,

Teknix

I think this was answered earlier(however I can't find it) so I think it is OK if you continue in your topic :-)
As some colors are too crucial for layout we don't give setting them in theme options.
To change main font color use this cusom CSS

html{
    color: #ff0000;
}

With regards.

Hi Air, I have found this spot where I could change it :

stylesheet.css

[code] html { font-size: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; } html, button, input, select, textarea { font-family: inherit; color: #3b3b3b; } body { margin: 0; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.4; } [/code]

Does it make any difference whether I do it in the stylesheet.css or in the user css? Apart from loosing change when I update and overwrite stylesheet.css ?

Then there is one more thing, my browser at home displays the header correctly ( see below )

http://www.sandvfx.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/header_correct.jpg

But same browser in office presents top menu like below ->

http://www.sandvfx.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/header_wrong.jpg

Can I somehow make sure that the header is displayed with the full menu and not the small "three line" button that you have to click first?

Sorry if I cant really explain this issue any better!

Thank you very much for the good support so far - nice to see you guys keep the "promise"

Hi :-)

For changing CSS you can either use child theme or plugin as explained here http://apollo13.eu/docs/hypershot/#!/modification_of_theme .
I would advise for you plugin http://apollo13.eu/docs/hypershot/#!/modification_of_theme_custom_css_plugin

Teknix said: But same browser in office presents top menu like below ->

That is very odd, as this menu is only reserved for touch devices(mobiles, tablets), and no one yet reported such issue. What was the browser, what computer?
You can try setting this option Hypershot theme-> Appearance-> Customize header->Classic menu for big touch devices

Interesting issue this menu 'bug'. Only thing I can think off is old version of browser (fierfox version below 10) that was reporting they have support for touch events what was a bug in them.

With regards.
