This template is a simple one page “Under Construction” template that allows you to keep your users informed,while you work at your website.The template has a jQuery slider containing 3 slides:one with your social pages,like Twitter or Facebook,one with a subscribe-by-mail form and another one with an area for writing what you do.I thing it`s very useful.Now you have to convince yourself of its functionality.

Main features of the Template

  • Valid PHP e-mail subscription form-thanks to Abraham Soria from MetaMindVisual
  • jQuery Slider
  • .PSD File included

This is happening under Win7 an Chrome 4:
The text “enter e-mail” is wrong, the textbox height is bigger than it sould be…

This is a fantastic piece of work!

My only problem: I can´t get the email function to work.

If I enter a emailadress where the doc says, I get an error after entering a email.

any hint for me?

November 14, 2009

It is a totally cool thing. But I got an issue. I am sure it is easy to answer for a JavaScript developer. What if I want it to count down, say, till December 1 2009. How do I set it that way? Is this kind of support included? Perhaps, I ask too much !? ;-) Thanks in advance!

[Reply]

Madalin Tudose Reply:

Hello,
Thanks for your feedback!
If you want to countdown till December 1 2009,put -31 instead of the last 0,which is for the days.-31 because between 1st of december 2009 and 1st of january 2010 are 31 days.

That`s All!
Thanks!

Hello, thanks very much!, great job!

Only 1 nooby question, I do not hace a clue how to set up the email.. that way once I launch the site I can write to the people and let them know. I guess is not that easy.. although I prefered to ask if anybodu could give some idea about it.

Please I am not a developer, so It would be great a step by step.., just letting you know how nooby I am :-)

Thank you very much Madalin!!

Hy Robert,
I`ll try in the next few days to to upload a version with e-mail feature included…so…stay close to OurTuts…it`s a little bit difficult to implement it,that`s true…but I`ll try to do it…
thanks!

abraham Reply:

Hey I already finished a setup for that tonight, if you send me a mail I can send it you, actually, it is not too complicated but you need some things to have it done.

Great Template by the way!

[Reply]

Robert Reply:

Abraham, thank you very much!

I suppose you are talking to Madalin?.. maybe to be included? Sound great!.. or maybe you were talking to me?.

Thank you anyway!

[Reply]

abraham Reply:

Hi, yes is to Madalin, but actually it is for who needs the email form set up.
What I did is to set it up to be used with php and post method, minimal changes are needed and the php doc needs to be uploaded to the server with some minimal changes. Nothing too fancy is just email personalization and stuff like that.


November 19, 2009

this is just perfect, l must mention with my blog now

[Reply]


November 21, 2009

Thankyou for this, I am actually going to use this on a new project I am putting together tonight. Very nicely put together. Once this is done, I may also get you some more exposure and share on my site as well, we are a clone script and PHP resource, so this would definitely be appreciated. Any probs with that, just e-mail me. Cheers mate! :)

[Reply]


November 21, 2009

Wow, amazing design – really like it.

the only thing I would change is the background-image – it’s to short for bigger browsers. May you repeat it down or make a heigher one.

but anyway, I’ll use it for a upcoming project of mine. Thanks for sharing

I understand its in HTML markup ( but how is it possible to activate the theme on the WP dashboard ? ) I desperately need help in this matter :( Your response is greatly appreciated & btw : Have a great Holiday & an even better New Year – and thanks for creating such an awesome theme ( I’ll be so disappointed if I cant use this on WP ) :( * But I hope I will be able to – will await your response . Thanks again .

Hello, I tried to make it count from today until 2 months from now… here is what I modified:

this._defaults = {
until: new Date(2010, 5 – 1, 1, 0, 0, 0),
since: new Date(2010, 3 – 1, 1, 0, 0, 0),
……………

on the jquery.countdown.js file… however instead of counting down.. it is counting up… I’m sort of lost here.. anyone have a clue? not at all java knowledgeful here.. lol

BTW: great design and great template!!! :D

[Reply]

Madalin Tudose Reply:

To set the date,enter just the date,like these:

var austDay = new Date(“April 12, 2010 02:23:00″);

[Reply]

Jose Reply:

Actually, no. The example you gave above does not work. The example you gave in the help file is very confusing, except for people who have programming experience. For anyone confused, to set a date to countdown to follow these steps:

1. Remove this line from, index.html:
austDay = new Date(austDay.getFullYear() + 2, 0, 0);

2. Enter your date in this line:
var austDay = new Date(insert date here using format below);

format: new Date(year, mth – 1, day, hr, min, sec)

so if you wanted to countdown till new years 2011, it would look like this, new Date(2011, 1 – 1, 0, 0, 0, 0)

[Reply]

Madalin Tudose Reply:

I understand that the lines presented in the help file are pretty confusing.Here`s an elegant solution:

To set the countdown to the desired date,replace your lines from the top of the index.html with these ones:

$(function () {
var austDay = new Date(“July 30, 2011 00:00:00″);
$(‘#defaultCountdown’).
countdown({until: austDay, layout: ‘{dn} {dl}, {hn} {hl}, {mn} {ml}, and {sn} {sl}’});
$(‘#year’).text(austDay.getFullYear());
});

and it should work fine!

Yes.Its working.I edited the files.Now countdown has been come to 50 days.Its an amazing work.Thanks again for the help

Muy buenas noches.

mi ingles no es muy bueno.

yo tenia un problema para ajustar el tiempo del proyecto.
me tomé la molestia de arreglar
lo que hice fue dar un ajuste al Script,

$(function () {
$(‘#defaultCountdown’).countdown({until: (60*60*24)*7, layout: ‘{dn} Dias, {hn} Horas, {mn} Minutos, y {sn} Segundos.’});

});

en (60*60*24) = eso es UN DÍA
lo multiplico por 7 para que me resulte UNA SEMANA
tan solo ajusto cuantos días necesito.

es el valor 7 el que puedo modificar para dar 31 dias= 1 Mes, Etc.

Excelente web ;)

Hi guys,

I did a silly testing. I modified my local time (from my PC) to a future date then the counter stopped working. As it is actually on a basis of local time of the client computer. So I am wondering if we can set the counter according to a server-side timer.

Thank you. Nice template BTW.

Hey thanks for this, looks great!

For some reason though I can’t get the mail subscriber to work. I’ve put my email address in the script but when I test it I don’t get any email sent to me (i’ve checked spam).

Any ideas?
Thanks again!
