B) CSS Files and Structure - top

I'm using more CSS files in this theme. The main CSS file is in the css/autoinclude/style.css folder. All the main styles are stored here.

This theme is based on Foundation Framework by ZURB. If you need any more information about it - check the internet about how it works.

The widget are styled through the autoinclude/css/upcode-widgets.css file. If you need to change something about the way your widgets look, check this file.

This theme respects the latest HTML markup with a header, content and footer element.

			header#header
			--
			section#main
			--
			footer#colophon
		

Your view type code is located in the lib/php/post.class.php file. Check for vertical_view() and horizontal_view() functions. If you're not familliar with PHP, please don't try to change anything there.

C) JavaScript - top

This theme imports more Javascript files.

1. jQuery
2. My custom scripts
3. Superfish jQuery Plugin
4. Supersubs jQuery Plugin
5. prettyPhoto jQuery Plugin

1. jQuery is a Javascript library that greatly reduces the amount of code that you must write.
2. Most of the animation in this site is carried out from the customs scripts. All website frontend actions that are related to JavaScript are located in the js/functions.js file.

D) Theme options - top

This is a simple and easy to use, yet a very powerful theme. Here are some ideas of how everything works.

The theme has a options button located at the bottom of the wordpress menu, named Camera 7.

There, we have the following:

• General
• Layout
• Styling
• Likes
• Menus
• Post settings
• Social networks
• Stats&Booking
• Typography
• Sidebars
• Custom CSS
• Export

In General you’ll find options to hide the default wordpress bar, a place to insert your tracking code, change your copyright text or change the copyright. Also, you can disable the hardcoded SEO, enable/disable sticky menu, header stats (features), social icons, the searchbar, or the bottom book (contact) links.

Then we have the Layout tab. This serves to set up defaults for your sidebars. This tab has listed all pages that can be changed (to add or remove sidebars).

Next, you have the Styling tab. This tab is for changing the default favicon and the logo type. Here you can upload a custom image logo as well. Here, you can set the default text and background color for your posts. You can set the colors for your articles on your website and enable/disable the stripes (dotted) effect.

The Likes tab reffers to the like system used by default in our theme. You can enable/disable them set a label for it or change the icon.

In Post settings, you can find all settings for your posts. Add/remove similar posts, show/hide image in posts, etc.

In Stats&Bookings you have 4 blocks for each Bookings and Stats. Here you can write your stats/features. If activated in general settings they will appear on the top of your page. (A clickable icon which will show them). You can change the texts. This will also change the subjects used in the contact form that appears bellow.

The Typography tab is for changing the fonts used in this theme. You can change the general theme font used for general fonts, the font used for the menu and the font used for headings.

The social networks tab is used to add your accounts on different social networks. These will be used on the social icons located in header and for the social icons widget. If you need new sidebars, go to the Sidebars tab. There you can create as many as you want and then set them to any layout you need.

If you need custom CSS, the Custom css tab has a input that will help you add some new styles if needed.

The Export tab is used if you need to import/export all settings from your current website. Don’t touch this as it could erase all data. Be very carefull with this.

E) Setting up frontpage - top

On first install, you will get the blog page only. If you need to set galleries listing for your homepage - create a page and assign the template you want to it. Find out details here

Then set it up in Settings -> Reading as your frontpage like this:

E) How to create gallery posts - top

The image shown in frontend is the featured image. Please add featured images to all your galleries for them to work as expected.

Gallery are created the usual WordPress way. Go to the Gallery tab, and add a new posts. There is a "Gallery" custom post type. On the Add new post page, you’ll find the special Camera 7 Theme Post settings that looks like this:

This settings are related to each post you add. So, the Show related posts option gives you the opportunity to show/hide the related posts in this exact posts (on your blog post page for user view).
This is exactly the same with Post meta, Post love and Social sharing. You can enable/disable them for each post. You also have the option to show or hide the featured image on your archive pages. This includes frontpage as well.

You can add featured image to the post to be shown only inside your article page, but hide it on the archive pages.

Note that gallery sizes work only on grid galleries template.

This theme includes powerful galleries. First of all, these are divided in 2:

• Normal gallery
• Advanced gallery

A normal gallery consists only from images. You cannot add videos in it. As long as you don't need to showcase videos - you'll be ok with it.

A normal gallery has it's own options:
How to show the gallery, and the effect you want to use for it.
Like you see, a normal gallery type can be shown in 3 different ways:

• Grid
• List
• Horizontal scroll

Also, for grid and list galleries you can apply special appereance effects (when you scroll on the page, the images are animated). Horizontally scrolled do not have this feature!
For grid and list galleries you have the following effects:

• Fade in
• Slide up
• Pop in
• 3d slide in
• Rotate with slide in
• Rotate in
• Card flip
• Fade in with slide

An advanced gallery consists from images and videos. But you have to add each of them manually.

You can sort them as you want. When adding a new item you have to choose wether you want to add a video or an image. If you select image, you'll have to choose one from your media or upload a new one.
If you want video item, choose video and insert the address of your video / embed code in the box. This feature works best with vimeo or youtube videos.
