[Pro] How to achieve this page layout

Thats great to hear Walter.

Just wondering when the change came about at all?
The version I have is 0.5.1 which is the same as the version available for download which is dated 11th June 2012.

I have it working, which is a relief.

Many thanks for your time again.

Hrm. I need to update the forge, then. The version I’m using here is 0.6.1

Is Scripty Fader FW7-ready/responsive? I saw a Scriptaculous reference in the code of the Second Sight template from Freeway, and wondered if Scripty Fader was used here, since Carousel2 is apparently not responsive-friendly (yet).

No Actions that modify CSS styles are currently available to work in the Freeway 7 version of responsive design. Freeway only exposes the “default” geometry to Actions, and does not expose the other breakpoints to Actions at all. So unless there was a magical way to write this Action that did not require it to rewrite all the HTML and CSS (which it currently does), then there is currently no way for me to update it for 7 and responsive design. It is perfectly compatible with Freeway 7, as long as you don’t define any differences in the ScriptyFader element at the other breakpoints. Everything else can move and reshape around that element, but your fader base element must remain entirely the same at all breakpoints. (So maybe design for mobile, and then use that same size and position on the other screen sizes.)

Thanks Walter. You’re super generous and patient with everyone always asking you for assistance so let me begin by thanking you for your info and input once again.

That said, the Second Sight template from Freeway does seem to have a working fader of some sort.

Consistent with what Walter said, in the demo it doesn’t scale down to a smaller, proportioned version of itself when you change the size of your browser window as you end up with a cropped portion of the slideshow with apparently the same original height.

However, I asked the designers of the http://kuschelwulff.com/ site that’s featured on SoftPress’ site, and apparently they used the Second Sight template, and the slideshow on their front page does indeed scale responsively.

Can you or anyone tell me what this might be? I’m not able to suss out how I can duplicate this, barring buying the actual template… which I may yet do if I can’t figure this out.

Any help would be appreciated. :slight_smile:

Looks like they are using the Sequence Timer Action for that element, which is built into Freeway. Because it works on regular layer elements that you draw (and stack) on the page, they can be affected by page width. In this case, the designers took that a step further and made their individual elements HTML boxes with CSS background images applied to them. This gave them a lot of flexibility in the way that the elements change as the browser window does. Have a look through the archives of this list for the words background-size: cover for some CSS that will make this easy.

THANK YOU, Walter. I actually have the Sequence Timer as one of the options I was looking into, so thank you for confirming that. That gives me a direction to pursue.
