    Musician Site - Crystalline

    Posted 14 years 3 months ago
    • Hi,

      My site is work in progress. (still some tweaks to be made, content to be added, and not all links are working) I hope to have it complete by the end of this week. Too many modifications to mention however, I would like to thank all the awesome people @ Rockettheme for their help along the way. (Special thanks to Henning!)

      ...and yes. This really is the Crystalline template!

      Thanks Kathy! I can't take all the credit though. Henning helped me out quite a bit. :) It most definitely is Crystalline. :) By the way... I admire your work!

      Cheers,
      Matt

    • Henning is AWESOME. And thanks, Matt....but really...I'm going to be bookmarking your page in my "inspiration" folder -- I really like the boldness of the style.

      What did you use for the collection of videos on the front page? It looks great. The videos are not playable for me, but maybe it's still in a demo-phase?

      Wow. That means a lot coming from you Kathy. Seriously... at one point, I was even considering contacting you to design my site because I lack the coding skills and well, I'm so darn lazy! LOL

      The video player is the "v-tube pro video gallery" from JoomlaXTC. Honestly, I find it unpredictable. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. I'm hoping the next update will fix the playback issues. Otherwise, I'll have to find another player. Got any recommendations?

      Oh dear...I assume "pro" means you paid money for it? I'd be mad if it wasn't working. Maybe there is some conflict going on between that module and something else on your page.

      I have not used a video gallery like that except once, when I used the Rockettheme Hyperion template which came with one. It works very well ( http://www.nickelcreek.com ). However, I am not sure how easy/possible it would be to extract it from the Hyperion template. RT never released it as a stand-alone module. It has really nice styling.

      Let me know if that one from JoomlaXTC starts working reliably.

      Yeah, I paid for a a one year extension subscription to JoomlaXTC. They actually have a lot of cool extensions, but this v-tube pro gallery is a bit temperamental. I think I'll open a ticket for this issue I'm having. Could very well be a misconfiguration issue on my end.

      Wow... I love that video player you're using for the Nickelcreek website. (Great looking site btw!) Perhaps I just post a question about extracting it from the Hyperion template? I'll keep you posted on my progress with the JoomlaXTC video extension.

      Cheers,
      Matt
