i am new to drupal and it is irritating me. i have mastered wordpress and SMF forum software to a near expert level. but drupal as well as joomla have made the admin interfaces so totally confusing i wish there was an answer available for me to use and drop them altogether.
i cant get the slide show to show up on the front page or any other page. i cant find in there a sufficient means of manipulating the content blocks and logging and nav blocks. i am not new to computers and programming, and if this was a programming problem, i probably would have fixed it by now, but the interface is so confusing i cant get the site to do anything im wanting it to do.
i have looked at several tutorials that dont help at all. i found out about a part time job my company is offering and i know for fact i can do it if i can get past the fact that the admin interface is a maze of confusion.
theme demo - http://adaptivethemes.com/demos/atcommerce/
my test - http://tse.myfewclicks.com/drupal/
i beg anyone willing to help. i need to have something presentable, at least a good taste by monday. i could have already been done with it with SMF or wordpress, but they are the wrong type of software for the job.
please help someone.
It would appear that you may have solved your problem. I followed your link and the image rotator was working.
About the only difference was that on the AT demo site I was able to click the dots at the lower right hand corner to select the image I wanted whereas on your test site I was unable to do so.

I've never used Drupal, but have been looking up tutorials online. My client would really like the adaptability of React and to have more flexibility in terms of design. I could make my own database and React app, but I have not studied security (I'm a team of one, so no one for security on my end, either). Security and access to a content management system was the main reason we decided to go with Drupal. However, I would still like to be able to code in React/something I'm familiar with to produce a site I am proud to say I made.
I've been Googling and Youtubing tutorials and help, but not having anyone to ask specific questions is making this difficult.
If anyone knows of a relatively easy way to build a React app on Drupal, I would really appreciate the advice. Or if there is a better way I should go about beginning a project as I've briefly mentioned above, I would also be open to that. Thank you in advance and sorry for the long message!
What you are asking is quite broad in concept and not easy to answer in just one answer post. Try to look for Headless / Decoupled Drupal.
https://www.acquia.com/drupal/decoupled-drupal
What this essentially means is that all the services and the content management are handled by Drupal while the core user experience or the way the site is displayed in a browser is controlled via a JavaScript framework such as React.js or backbone.js. This is achieved via Drupal’s RESTful API service.
Hope this helps.
As mentioned on the title, Iv'e just finished making a static website, using - CSS/JQUERY/SLICK/JQUERY/BOOTSTRAP.
And I have no idea what to do or where to start in order to make it responsive, tried google but still feeling confused not sure about where to start...
As for now minimizing the page seems to do nothing but cutting the area been minimized.
Changing the view to phone-view on chrome devtool causing the website to look the same, just extremely small which means you can't really read text or anything without zooming in.
any ideas or guidelines of how to start?... feeling lost which is weird cuz am feeling pretty comfortable with the method mentioned above.
Thanks alot for reading!
Thinking the mobile site after doing the standard one is not a good idea. But you are already at the end of that road and there is no going back now.
Responsiveness mostly works on the CSS side. You cambine media queries to specify which CSS should be used for each screen size, but it also has to do with your content structure. As mentioned in the comments, using rows and columns when designing your site helps doing the mobile site a lot.
I suggest you start reading this if you haven't: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_intro.asp
And go through each section under the Responsive Web Design section. It should give you a good introduction to help you get started.
First of all I would like to thank everyone on this forum, as you have made some of my friends greatest projects successful and I was hoping one of these projects can be done without them.
Now I want to expand to other services. I want to make an app in WinForms or WPF (But im still learning XAML so if you can it would help to answer for winforms) that constantly updates data and displays pictures or video in a row/rows. Like almost Moviebox for iPhone or Showbox for android. How movies are updated constantly without updating the app. (Im not promting piracy, its just the best example I could think of). And when you click on the movie(Which is a picture) it gives a description and picture and even a youtube video.
It kinda would work like a blog reader.... I think?
I think I will need a server and I will probably need a database. But sadly , i'm still a beginner, but willing to learn. Thanks and if you need any more info, please just ask. :)

I'm a Ui/Ux designer, and I've been asked to give some advice on the architecture of an iPhone app, the said app implies a section called 'Help and guides' for the users to know how to properly enter their data in the app. While analyzing the app, I was going to recommand that it may be interesting to put that part in the settings, and I was challenged about the reason I would do that. All I could come up with was that it was kind of a habit to put it there. But indeed, why would we put the help in the settings?
While doing some research, it appears that the help and the FAQs are often placed in the settings of the apps, and I was wondering why. Even though it seems obvisous to me that this has evolve into a known pattern to the user, I was wondering if there was a proper justification for this practice. Any ideas or clues?
From my research into this as I am currently designing Android and IOS Apps. The reason to group both these items under the one menu is to keep the screen as clutter less as possible. Due to the screen size of a mobile phone, the need for space is high so removing the buttons by grouping them under the one menu helps greatly.
I would suggest possibly making a Menu button with the options to access help & settings as subheadings personally.
I'm pretty much totally lost.. I've posted twice on the smartclient forums and gotten no help so maybe the people here are more friendly than their own staff. (it really bothers me but they appear to have the best software for what I'm trying to do)
I'm trying to wrap my head around how I would get one of their examples (the demo showcase ones which I have downloaded etc) on my web host, just to see how it works/play with it, but I couldn't find any forum guides or videos etc on this (documentation is really abysmal for people that don't speak code yet).
Is there some special back-end I need on my web host? Where can I go to figure out how to link the stuff together? Do I have to compile something using java.. etc.
I'm used to just editing stuff in notepad++, uploading it, and hitting refresh, but I'm guessing smartclient isn't that simple, or is it? (I'm just going to use it to make tables from excel spreadsheets that I can filter through, that's it, no fancy application).
Sincerely,
Mr. Totally Lost.
