Hi everyone, I’ve been scouring the marketplace for positive male voices (e.g. “yeah!” “alright!” “good job!”) but I can’t find the one I need. I was hoping to purchase an extended license for it for use in a game. Anyone willing to help?

Hey guys, my themes come with HTML5 video support. I host those files in my own server but recently my bandwidth outgoing usage skyrocketed and adding almost 1,000Gb to it.. I have traced the cause to hosting the HTML5 video files. Does anyone know of any freely hosted HTML5 videos (.webm, .mp4 and .ogv formats)?

I read this thread and got confused with the whole mandatory thing. I found out the what was what after reading the succeeding pages.

As with the others I have a few issues regarding it when it comes to edits being wiped, etc… although I think this has potential.

Just to share I do theme updates this way:

1. User see’s an admin notification that there is an update to the theme if they’re currently using it. I have an XML file online that contains the latest theme version and gets checked by the theme every 15 minutes.
2. Buyers just re-download it again and install the new version. But since it’s a new version it gets installed in a different folder to prevent file overwriting. e.g. themename_v1.0 and themename_v1.1. All the previous theme configurations get carried over to the new installed version, and they can just switch to the old version if something goes wrong.

Oh and I encountered a fatal error when I tried to implement the library. The Envato_Protected_API class gets redefined and throws an error. The cause would be is that I had the Toolkit plugin installed and I also implemented the library. A fix would be editing line 12 of class-envato-protected-api.php to:

if (!class_exists('Envato_Protected_API')) include_once( 'class-envato-protected-api.php' );

EDIT : sorry got confused, I removed some stuff I said because I thought you’ll need to use both the plugin and library. lol. I just realized those are 2 different things.

Hi all,

I’ve been having trouble with white spaces and typography on my wp theme. I need another person to look at it and give suggestions. Any help would be appreciated.

Cool! Just for reference, here’s my forum where I got it working: http://support.gambit.ph/entry/register

I know this is an old thread, but I’m currently making my own support forum and the code posted earlier in the thread doesn’t work anymore with Vanilla’s current version. Using the original code as an inspiration, I made a few changes and it now works. Woot!

First off, I removed the new registration method and stuck with the basic (aka. recaptcha) registration method instead and modified the core scripts for that one.

Here’re the changes I made:

1. In the script applications/dashboard/controllers/class.entrycontroller.php, modify the private function RegisterCaptcha.. add this code right after the first IF statement:

$this->InvitationCode = $this->Form->GetValue('InvitationCode');
$verify = $this->verifyPurchasecode($this->InvitationCode);
if(!$verify['success']){
    $this->UserModel->Validation->AddValidationResult('InvitationCode', T('The provided purchase code is invalid.'));
}

2. Append this function to the end of the entry controller class (same file as above):

    private function verifyPurchasecode($purchasecode) {
        $username = 'ENVATO_USERNAME'; // authors username
        $api_key = 'ENVATO_API_KEY'; // api key from my account area
        $url = "http://marketplace.envato.com/api/edge/$username/$api_key/verify-purchase:$purchasecode.json";
        $ch = curl_init($url);
        curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
        $json_res = curl_exec($ch);
        $data = json_decode($json_res,true);
        if(!empty($data['verify-purchase'])){
            $data['verify-purchase']['success'] = true;
        }else{
            $data['verify-purchase']['success'] = false;
        }
        return $data['verify-purchase'];
   }

3. Edit the registration view script (or create a new theme then create a registration view script there): applications/dashboard/views/entry/registercaptcha.php and add the necessary input in the form:

      <li>
        <?php
            echo $this->Form->Label('Purchase Code', 'InvitationCode');
            echo $this->Form->TextBox('InvitationCode', array('value' => $this->InvitationCode));
        ?>
      </li>

This works for me in version 2.0.18.2

You’ll have to tailor the registration fields to what you want afterwards

Cool! I would like the right arrow to be taller though (I’m assuming that was for a slide-in menu).. or even the text menu instead of an arrow? I’m also assuming that there would also be a nice gallary of thumbnails included

Hi,

Thanks bfintal! I will go over and check it and make some changes the entire design. btw! You are a Filipino right?

Thanks,

Yup!

Hi,

Check the thread I created regarding a thorough review: http://themeforest.net/forums/thread/i-will-review-your-designs/54901

To be honest, the design is simple, but it’s be too simple for me.. I’d prefer purchasing your other themes over this one.

But regarding this design, my main concern is the headers. For some reason the first set of headers (“Responsive Layout” row) looks good, but the rest are not too appealing.. maybe it’s the size, or the font.

My second major concern is the visual hierarchy. For example, the blog title “Learn more responsive design” should be a smaller header since it’s a blog title; but currently it’s the same size as the excerpt text below it. Another example is the copyright text, I feel that it should be smaller.
