Hi Bill,

I got the plugin without any trouble and added the code but it the picture didn’t appear I’m afraid. Just as a side note, I uploaded a resized version of the image, but I did change the url in the code to match.

Thank you!

Ideal as ever Bill, that worked perfectly!

I have a Contact page as well with an email template on it that I’d like to do the same with (you reach it on the site by clicking the link on the Contact home block); I thought I’d be clever and try adding it into the code you sent but it didn’t work – could you come up with something similar for it?

Thanks so much again!

Thanks Bill,

That stopped the background image appearing before the site loads – great – although it does still flash up for an instant between pages sometimes, especially on a mobile device (iPhone).

The site is still at the same location as I sent you before if you’re interested to see. It’s by no means a major issue but it does catch my eye so if there was any chance of getting rid of it I’d appreciate it.

Thanks,

Graeme

Just the ticket Bill, that’s perfect.

I’ll leave you in peace now – the site is just as I want it so I’m delighted. I will pen a wee testimonial and send it to your email address for you to use as you see fit.

Thanks so much again for all your help!

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the additional code on Friday. I’ve tried it out and it hasn’t quite done the trick though I’m afraid.

As you suggested, I’ve applied the animation to the first home block down on the site so you can see how the animation is working but have left all the other untouched, so you can see where I’d ideally like the text to land after the animation.

Just for clarity, so you know what it is I did, I’ve added the animation code in the ‘text’ tab on the Homeblock Edit page for the relevant block, and the new code you sent into the advanced tab of the Theme Options page. Let me know if any of that is incorrect as that could be the problem!

Many thanks once again!

Outstanding Bill, that’s exactly what I needed, thanks so much. Just a heads up for you – I noticed on the new version you sent that when I preview the HomeBlocks the cross is missing from the bottom right hand corner to view the gallery. It’s not a problem for me just now – I’m making the changes I need and they’re working beautifully on the site, it’s only the preview that seems to have a wee issue.

I’m a Scot so it’s in my blood to get every penny’s worth out of your support here so lastly:

I used the code to animate the text on the Home Blocks – it worked but I have my text justified over on the right hand side and the animation code pulls it into the middle of the screen. Is there something I’m missing that will let it animate and stay on the right side?

And finally, is there somewhere I should go to review your theme, because I really am happy with the site and am frankly blown away by the speed and helpfulness of your support?

Many thanks again,

Graeme

Not to worry Bill – if you’re able to come up with any way to resolve the dead screen at the end of the galleries though (while still retaining the code to keep the hero image out of the gallery) that would be great. It’s the main thing concerning me.

Thank you!

Okay Bill.

To be honest, I’m quite happy doing without any captions at all but I’d really like to get rid of the empty page at the end if possible? It’s odd because I’ve found it tends to stick – once you click onto it the top and bottom bars won’t appear.
Let me know if you have any joy.

I have a couple of other small points if you don’t mind:

A friend of mine who knows about these things has been checking my work and, since I’ve decided to include some text in photographs, he says it’s a good idea to include ‘alternative text’ so that Google will recognise those words. He tried to do it but ended up just copying the text in as captions. Can you suggest a method he can use?

Lastly, I realise as I use the site that my natural instinct is to click the back button to go back to the home blocks rather than go down to the cross on the bottom left. When I do that, it takes me away from the site though as it is in essence all on one page. Is there any way to set it up so that clicking the back button in the lightbox takes me to the Home Blocks?

Thanks again – I appreciate all your efforts!

Graeme
