Suggestions & bugs

jscheib

I'm enjoying the theme at http://themayormovie.com. I've noticed a few things:

1) Possible to exclude map from Social page if no embed code given?
2) Twitter & Skype links under Social are not linking out correctly
3) "vertical-align" styling not working (such as for the IMDB img in my top banner)
4) Possible to make top banner a widget bar instead of HTML text banner?
5) Possible to display text under video in video portfolio pages?
6) Possible to use text instead of logo (so no image required) and to have a mini-caption underneath? ex. THE MAYOR, and underneath in small letters LIVE IT UP, AT 88
7) Sometimes on menu hover, all submenu items will be blue
8) Possible to implement a fixed "^TOP" button when scrolling down pages to jump quickly back up to top? This would be especially useful on mobile/tablet but also on desktop version

That's all I've got for now :)

Thanks,
Jared

Thanks for the great feedback. I'll try and touch on these as much as possible and explain why we would do things:

1) We often include a template without the map but in this case we already had two contact page versions. Since it's a 1 minutes job to pull the map code, it will save on cutting down options.
2) These two links are working just like all the others. The only thing is you enter in the full URL and not the ID. Just a simple confusion in the description. You just need to type in the full URL.
3) Not related to the theme. Changes are you just need !important or something like that.
4) Another thing about keeping it simple. 99% of users will display text and a widget confuses most people. Adding a widget area is super easy and I would be happy to help you out. 2 Minutes tops.
5) I assume you mean the index? We left this out to keep things simple again. Adding in a the_excerpt would be an easy solution if you wanted content on the index.
6) We've never had this option on any of our themes. I'll think about it in the future if I hear anybody else have these requests.
7) Haven't had any reports of the menu coloring have issues. Please send me a screen-shot of this if you see it. Note: The live preview might have some discrepancies because the color is written in via javascript.
8) I've though about adding a ^top button but I always thought they were a bit gimmicky on ThemeForest. I agree that it totally makes sense for a responsive theme to have a ^top button as in smaller resolutions the theme can be very very tall.

Again, thanks for the feedback and feel free to post a screen-shot of any navigation issues.

Thanks for the quick response.

1) Not possible just to add a checkbox for this in the options, checked (for include) as default? Otherwise I will remove the code from the PHP file and then have to do so each time I update the template, if you make updates.
2) What would be the full Skype URL ID? Got Twitter to work - thanks
3) Found out that CSS for body img had margin-bottom: 12px - fixed it in this instance
4) How do we arrange this 2-minute widget add? You can email me through my registered email here or through the website - thanks
5) Ok. Well, mostly I'd like to be able to have text/links just under the video on the page (under the trailer) instead of just the title for the Portfolio item. So that directly underneath the trailer, on the homepage, I could have a link for "Support The Mayor with a Pledge!"
6) Understandable. Just an idea.
7) It's on my site, not the live preview, that I noticed it.
8) It is very useful on mobile/tablet, for sure. A checkbox (toggle) option would be nice.

If I can get a screenshot, I'll send it. Haven't seen it lately.

Thanks for your help!

Note: The theme is built for the widest range, it will never be perfect for everybody.

Here are answers to questions:

Feel free to send me a screen-shot if you notice the navigation problem in the future.

Howdy, Stranger!
