IMAGES & VIDEOS

Images and photographs seen in the Live Preview are not available in the download package due to ThemeForest's item upload policies. You can reach me by email if you need the landing page with the exact images and videos from the Live Preview at lucian@inovatik.com. Also, you can find your own images browsing through the following free resources online.

Here are a few good resources for free images that you can use in your landing page:

Adding Images

To add your own images to the landing page:
- Edit and save them in the images folder
- Then in index.html or styles.css replace links that resemble this "http://placehold.it/1920x1080/3a3a3a/fff/" with your own links e.g. "images/header-background.jpg"
- For optimum results please take into consideration the recommended images sizes displayed in the placeholders

Adding Header Background Images In Sliding Background Version

To change the images that slide in the header background of the Sliding Background version, you need to:
- Open css/styles.css
- Find the line: header .swiper-container-header .swiper-slide.first .slider-background
- And replace: http://placehold.it/1920x1080/3a3a3a/fff/ with the url to your image e.g. images/background-slide-1.jpg
- And repeat for each slide: first, second and third

Youtube Background

To change the video in the background of the YouTube Background version, you need to:
- Open index.html inside the template folder
- Find the line

<a id="bgndVideo" class="player" data-property="{videoURL:'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_smyOW8JKSw',containment:'.video-section', quality:'highres', autoPlay:true, showControls: false, startAt:0, stopAt: 15, mute:true, opacity: 1}"></a>

- Go to your YouTube video, copy the link from the browser's address bar and paste it in the line above to replace the default link which looks like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_smyOW8JKSw inside index.html

Attention: for Internet Explorer you need to be on a live server online for the video in the background to work. It will not play while you work locally on your hard drive. But this is jut in IE. The rest of the browsers work without issues both offline and online.

Adding Images In The Image Gallery Swiper

To add images in the Image Gallery Swiper you need to:
- Open index.html from the template folder
- Find the Swiper section and these lines:

<div class="swiper-slide">
<div class="image-container">
<img class="img-responsive" src="http://placehold.it/180x40/aaa/4f4f4f/" alt="event gallery">
</div>
</div>

- Here, replace http://placehold.it/180x40/aaa/4f4f4f/ with your own link to the image e.g. images/discover-image-1.jpg
- And repeat the process for each image you need
- It's recommended to have the same dimensions for all the images


ICONS

Vera uses Font Awesome icon font for all the icons throughout the landing page, including social media.

To change one of the Font Awesome icons you can simply replace the classes that you'll find in index.html e.g. fa-cutlery, fa-glass, fa-facebook with the ones that you like from http://fontawesome.io/icons/

Social Media Icons

To change social media icons in the Footer section of the template, you need to:
- Open index.html from the template folder
- Find the lines:

<a href="#your-link"><i class="fa fa-facebook fa-lg circle-icon"></i></a>
<a href="#your-link"><i class="fa fa-twitter circle-icon"></i></a>
<a href="#your-link"><i class="fa fa-instagram circle-icon"></i></a>
<a href="#your-link"><i class="fa fa-pinterest circle-icon"></i></a>
<a href="#your-link"><i class="fa fa-linkedin circle-icon"></i></a>
<a href="#your-link"><i class="fa fa-google-plus circle-icon"></i></a>

- And replace fa-facebook, fa-twitter, and so on... with the classes name that you need from http://fontawesome.io/icons/ in the Brand Icons section
- Also don't forget to replace href="#" with the link to your social page or account

Social Media Tip

If you want to control the way the posts look like when you share the landing page on social media (Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn especially) don't forget to update the OG Meta Tags (OpenGraph) in the Head section of the index.html file.

<meta property="og:site_name" content="" /> <!-- website name -->
<meta property="og:site" content="" /> <!-- website link -->
<meta property="og:title" content=""/> <!-- title shown in the actual shared post -->
<meta property="og:description" content="" /> <!-- description shown in the actual shared post -->
<meta property="og:image" content="" /> <!-- image link, make sure it's jpg -->
<meta property="og:url" content="" /> <!-- where do you want your post to link to -->
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />

TESTIMONIALS

Vera uses Bootstrap's carousel option for the testimonials section. You can change settings like: time between slides, pause on hover, reactions to keyboard and others. Here is the link to the documentation on Bootstrap's website: Bootstrap Carousel


NEWSLETTER SIGN-UP & CONTACT FORM

To receive emails with data from your visitors simply change the line $EmailTo = "yourname@domain.com"; to your email address in the php folder in the following files:

  • contactform-process.php
  • signupform-process.php

Attention:The script only runs online (on a liver server with PHP support) so the forms will not work while the landing page is offline on your hard-drive
