Hi,

I do not think that anyone will argue that JA Lens is a beautiful template. I am trying to use it for a website and I have run into a few design issues.

Here goes:

1) It absolutely makes no sense to place the K2 toolbar at the bottom of the article. If someone wants to read the article in a larger font, that’s too bad, because you have already read the article. The K2 toolbar should be at the top.

2) Likewise with the comments. What is the point of having an icon that links directly to the comments when you can just scroll down a bit more to read the comments. Again, the toolbar should be at the top.

3) Scrolling. This is problematic at best. Try enlarging the font (toolbar at bottom) and then try scrolling to the bottom. You cannot!

Do you think it’s best to ask the mods open a forum discussion thread on responsive templates, discussions only; not asking for help as the individual forums are for that. This way we can discuss all the general issues in all responsive templates, alternative, you start a responsive discussion group, I’ll join
Cheers Shannon

Hi Shannon,

You can put in a request but I will bet that they will not.

Hi Rene,

Thank for your idea.

<blockquote>1) It absolutely makes no sense to place the K2 toolbar at the bottom of the article. If someone wants to read the article in a larger font, that’s too bad, because you have already read the article. The K2 toolbar should be at the top.</blockquote>
=> Yes, you are right. But I think it is not a big problem. You can customize it of course. Here are two files if you want to edit the layout.
templatesja_lenshtmlcom_k2ja_lensitem.php
templatesja_lenshtmlcom_k2ja_lens_blogitem.php

<blockquote>2) Likewise with the comments. What is the point of having an icon that links directly to the comments when you can just scroll down a bit more to read the comments. Again, the toolbar should be at the top.</blockquote>
=> This is the default function of K2. And same idea as above.

<blockquote>3) Scrolling. This is problematic at best. Try enlarging the font (toolbar at bottom) and then try scrolling to the bottom. You cannot!</blockquote>
=> We have some technical trade off here. If we enable auto detect the size of popup, the performance may decrease a lot. We decided to not turn this feature on.

If you want to enable it, Open file templatesja_lensjswall.js

focus on line 94:

window.popupIscroll = new iScroll('popup-inner', {vScrollbar: true, hScrollbar: false, scrollbarClass: 'popupTracker', fixedIndicator: true, onBeforeScrollStart: null, useTransform: false, scroller: (isTouch ? doc.getElementById('container') : null) });

and replace by this

window.popupIscroll = new iScroll('popup-inner', { checkDOMChanges: true, vScrollbar: true, hScrollbar: false, scrollbarClass: 'popupTracker', fixedIndicator: true, onBeforeScrollStart: null, useTransform: false, scroller: (isTouch ? doc.getElementById('container') : null) });

I would not recommend you use those K2 tool. You can turn it off (font icon, comment icon).

Regards
