Special Features:

Custom Gallery and Info Page thumbnails

LaPine allows you to make custom thumbnails for each of your Galleries and Pages. Create a thumbnail sized image that is 219 pixels by 110 pixels. Name the thumbnail the exact name of your Gallery Title or Page Title with the name ending in "_thumb.jpg" (that is an underscore before the word thumb) Example: "Weddings Two_thumb.jpg" Where the Gallery name is "Weddings Two". This is case sensitive. And do not include the quotes. You will upload these images differently as well. Go to Images/Upload Images then use the link that says 'the old fashioned way'.  NOTE: With the version 3 admin panel, the 'old fashion way' does not apply. Just upload thumbnail as in the above example and admin panel will automatically load to correct category/page.

Below is a screenshot of some of the advanced features configurable in the Admin under Advanced > Template Settings. Including the transparency value of the color fields on the site, Info and Contact Page background transparency, menu names and extra links.

Background Image

Background Image can be added under Site settings > Background… Background and gallery image sizes listed above.

 

Redirect

To have a link in your menu (you are limited to only one) or sub menu that redirects to another website, create a page or sub page in your admin with the following text in the text area using standard mode:

REDIRECT:http://www.bigfolio.com

(replace 'http://www.bigfolio.com' with your website URL)

 

Music

The LaPine allows for one song for your site. Upload your song under Site Settings/Music Files as an mp3

The jukebox will read ID3 tags from MP3 files. Depending on what music player you use, you may have to “Convert ID3 Tags…” before they are uploaded to your site. ID3 version 2.4 is recommended.

 

Texture

LaPine supports a textured background for the body of your website. the texture should be sized around 1400-1600 pixels Wide x 900-1200 pixels High, with a file size well under 300K.

Upload a texture image in your Admin just as you would upload a gallery image. Then specify the texture file name in Advanced > Template Settings > Texture File Name: (Example: "texture4.jpg")

 

App Alpha

The app alpha will change the alpha of the top and bottom sections of the site. (the big color sections above and below the actual content of the site.)

 

Info Page Alpha

The info page alpha is the alpha specific to the page image/text area on all pages (not galleries) and contact form.

 

Main Menu Redirects

The main menu (top right) for the site allows you to add three redirects. To add/remove items simply chose Advanced/Template Settings. Set Men Num Links to 0-3 (0 for no redirects, 1 for 1 redirect, etc). Then scroll down to Menu Link 1 Title and name the link text (this is what the site visitor will see) and then add the Menu Link 1 URL (where the redirect will link to).

 

Main Menu Labels

In the site control tools chose Advanced/Template Settings and change the labels for your info section main link, portfolio main link and contact form label to whatever you like.
