We’ve just launched a new set of Freeway Pro templates that are available to purchase from our Marketplace right now! (http://softpress.com/tny/68bp)
Like the previous set, they’re fully responsive and completely customizable. We’ve also taken your comments on board and made them more varied than the previous set. There are also a couple for photographers in there too!
They are priced at $25 each, or get all eight for half price at $100 (VAT applies to purchases made in Europe). For a rundown of each of them, head over to our blog (http://softpress.com/tny/68bq) .
Speaking of the blog, we’ve recently given it an overhaul and are now posting articles much more regularly. We’ll try and cover a topic a month (right now it’s how to increase traffic on your site) and I’m hoping we can get a few relevant Freeway and Exhibeo tutorials up there too.
I need more detail about one of the new templates, Snapper. When you go to the “works” page, and then click on one of the three columns and get a large image with space for caption. Can I from there add other pages in each “works” category that can be achieved using arrows, like in Macro? The Knowledge Base by not mentioning this possibility (which is included for Macro) suggests not. Without that feature, it seems of little use to photographers who would want to show far more than 4 images (opening page and three images accessed through “Works”). Thank you.

You can definitely add these yourself – I’d do it by adding two new HTML items into the bottom of the white box that contains the text (Text1) on the master page, one set to Float Left, the other to Float Right.
You can do this by double clicking in the item, pressing Command-down arrow (to place the text-beam at the end of the text), and inserting a new item using Insert>HTML (or Command-Control-i) and then duplicating the item (Command-D).
Make sure you give them both adequate top margins in the Item>Custom Margins dialog (Command-Option-.), such as 40px. You then just need to add the appropriate links to the content pages that are based on the master.
Where did it fail, in local testing or after uploading? What format was the video and what browser did you try – Firefox will only play WebM/Ogg encoded videos so you need to provide at least one alternative for that.
Well,
Joe sometimes things are just to easy for me. ;-))
I didn’t realize that you only have to drag the file to the placeholder.
Thanks for the KB link. That helped. So everything is fine now.

Hi Joe,
I added submenus to the css menu.
The submenus unfortunately fall behind the videos. And only behind videos. No matter if it’s a responsive youtube video or a video added by drag and drop.
It even happens on your “The Band” template with the “Video720caption”.
I searched the Freeway help but couldn’t find a fix.
The solution will depend on how you’re adding the video, and to make things worse, I can’t repeat is using regular a regular video item (I tried using the template you’re using). I don’t suppose it’s online in a test area or anything yet is it?

Not worth any try in a relative positioned surrounding.
It’s a typical z-index problem and it herby depends in what parent the stuff is placed. As a general safety precaution I’d recommend to add a z-index: 99 (or higher) to the #HeaderWrapper (and even to the #TopWrapper).
The only reason I can weigh in here is I’ve run into this problem myself. I learned a bunch through this Freewaytalk thread and I’ve copied the most helpful part stolen from Tim here:
Keeping CSS Menus in front of other page elements
Try this…
Select Page/ HTML Markup…
Select ‘Before end head’ from the Insert menu
Paste in the following CSS code:
The submenus for the top nav bar are hard coded in the action to a z index of 1. This CSS forces the z index up to 100 which should be high enough to display above the rest of your content. Be sure to test this as it is attempting to overwrite the style set inline on the submenu itself. Normally this would have precedence over any style in the document head but the !important part of the style should take care of that.
Be sure to check out the Freeway talk thread I referenced above, as it has a lot of helpful info.
I did something wrong trying to paste the CSS code above. But if you go to the freeway talk thread I mentioned, and scroll down to Tim Plumb’s reply, you will find the gold which you seek.
Nice try Doty, but … no effect. But thanks anyway.
As I mentioned before it only happens with videos.
And the Text of the submenu is readable but when you try to klick on it, it disappears.
The funny thing is, it doesn’t happen with Firefox. Just Safari, Chrome and Opera.
