I installed this template at http://www.bebli.com/index.asp

I am having a few problems:

1. The email on the contact page is not working - I put my email address in line 6 of both the PHP files. When I submit everything is fine, and I don't get an error message but I still don't receive the emails.

2. I need to change the email address on the widget button at the top from "pamelaaller@gmail.com" to my email. I can't figure out how to do this.

3. The seach box is not working. If I type something, it put "?s=search_phrase" after the file name but doesn't display any results.

4. The twitter widget near the footer is not working either. It is supposed to display the latest twitter status like it was doing in the demo but I can't get it to do that either.

5. How do I integrate with the RSS feed?

Hello Web Designer,

1. You should also check your Spam / Bulk / Junk folder of your mailbox, as it's an automated e-mail system and it might not make it to the inbox!

2. Change from: <a href="#" rel="moc/liamg//rellaalemap" class="email"> to <a href="mailto:youremail@mail.com" rel="" class="email">. Of course, replace youremail@mail.com with your email.

3. This is the HTML version so it is not supposed to search anything unless integrated to a CMS or a custom script. You might want to also check the Wordpress version for more features!

4. Same as above. There is no script included (as it is a HTML version), but only the contact form one.

5. Same as 3 and 4.

I would highly recommend you the Wordpress version which can be found here: http://themeforest.net/item/awake-powerful-professional-wordpress-theme/111267 so you have all the features you asked for already integrated.

Sorry for any inconvenience!

Best Regards,
Dorian

We can't use Wordpress because Wordpress is the easiest thing to hack. There are big security concerns with using Wordpress for our clients.

So you really didn't solve anything.

1. The email is still not working. There is no message in the spam, junk or regular folder. Something is wrong with your script.

2. The whole point of writing the email as "moc/liamg//rellaalemap" is to encrypt it to avoid spam. By writing my correct email email@domain.com I am just inviting spam. I want to encrypt the email address and this is what I thought you were offering in the template.

For the Twitter feed, I am attaching a file that works and posts live twitter feeds. It is using the jquery.tweet.js but then the Flash effect on the home page and the lightbox effects stop working on your template. Why should this twitter file affect your template?

Hi
I am having the same problem with the email function - no emails are being received.
I also had the same problem with the INFOCUS template, the email function didn't work although the documentation simply said to change the email address. I did that on both templates - still nothing.

Pls advise.

One more problem. You are using "prettyPhoto" for the photos. How can I get the lightbox effect with a SWF file?

I want a person to click on a thumbnail and the click should open the Flash file with the lightbox effect like the photos. So I put this code, but it is not working.

<span class="rm_img noscript"><img class="framed portfolio_hover" src="images/services/2-s.jpg" /></span>

It just opens the file like a normal SWF but not with the lightbox effect and it doesn't allow the user to move from one SWF file to the next like the photos.

Hello Web Designer,

Make sure the URL and IMG looks like this..

<a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/include/marquee/design.swf&?width=792&height=294" rel="prettyPhoto[flash]" title="Flash 10 demo"><img src="images/thumbnails/flash-logo.jpg" alt="Flash 10 demo" width="60" /></a>

And do not forget to use absolute paths. Let us know if this works for you.

Dear Elliot,

It is still not working.

I tried both rel="lightbox[flash]" and rel="prettyPhoto[flash]" since you use rel="lightbox[portfolio]" in the code.

It loads the thumbnail and then the effect, but doesn't load the Flash file. I am using absolute path for the A HREF.

<img src="images/services/2-s.jpg" alt="Flash 10 demo" width="60" />

<img src="images/services/2-s.jpg" alt="Flash 10 demo" width="60" />

Thanks for purchasing the Awake HTML.

The Awake HTML contact and widget contact form uses the PHP mail() function:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

Check with your hosting provider and verify that they have this function enabled.

To change the email address on the email icon in the header first go here:

http://jsbin.com/afeha3

Enter in your email address and submit.

Next find this line of code rel="moc/liamg//rellaalemap"

and replace moc/liamg//rellaalemap with the converted email you received above.

In regards to the Twitter, Search & RSS functions, Awake HTML just provides the styles for these common elements. You'll have to integrate them with some custom code or a CMS.

Also use the code below as a template for using video with prettyPhoto:
<a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/include/marquee/design.swf?width=792&height=294" rel="lightbox"> <span class="rm_img noscript"><img width="176" height="110" alt="" src="images/services/2-s.jpg" class="framed portfolio_hover"></span> </a>
