Hello,

this one i didn't port yet. But it is a nice one. I'm very interested to get in work in WB. Please give me around 14 days then i can give you a first working version for WB. Unfortunately the html5 up Templates need also to adapt two or three core Files from WB (very little design changes). I will make you a package with this files for WB 2.13.x and a short descreption how to use the Template.
If you are interested, please give a short response. Wich one of the Arcana Templates did you preferr: Left sidbar? Right Sidebar? Two Sidebar? No Sidebar?

With the solution of Ruud (https://wbhelp.org/tips-and-tricks/2014/multiple-columns-in-a-template/) this is not a question. If a block is defined and has content, show it, else hide the space. The result is the same like in the html5up demo. In our template repository you will find some templates from JBD with this technic.
Makes templates variable and easy usable.

Thank you very much.

Hello,

Thank you so much for your help. I got a couple of questions. Few things missing from the template and I am wondering if it is possible to add those elements. See https://html5up.net/arcana
The body content is quite different from the original template. Is it possible to duplicate exactly? I can't work out how it is possible with WB.
Thank you.

Here is the adaptation to local fonts

What did you mean? Arcana Template has 3 Options: one sidebar, two sidebar, no sidebar. You wanted the one with no sidebar.

Hello,
After successfully installed your template I notice my main image sits at the centre of page with empty spaces on both sides. Is it possible to spread the image across the page with the gray banner at the bottom? Sample attached.
Thank you.
Title: Re: Looking for Template
Post by: ruebenwurzel on April 20, 2023, 06:11:34 PM
Hello,

again i remember you, that you wanted the version with no sidebar. Please have a look on the sample Template with no sidebar. There is the image in the centre of the page.

What you now want is the adaption of another version of this template. This means i have to start with another Adaption again.

What you want is possible and i will adapt this for you, but I can start with this earliest next week, cause the next days i have to to other projects.

Hello sir,

I installed the template you did and it is correct which is no sidebar. But there are 3 columns on the sample with the main header image spread across the page. I am wondering if it is possible to customise WB excatly like the sample: https://html5up.net/arcana
Thank you for you generous time. I truly appreciate your help.
Thank you.

Hello,

sorry but i don't understand want you really want. In every post another wish. So before starting to change things, please say exactly what you want and add pictures for better understanding. My Questions:
Should the startpage exactly look like the "Home" in the sample?
Should all other pages exactly look like the "No Sidebar" in the sample?
Or should all pages be a mix of this both pages? f.e. Banner from "Home", Content from "No Sidebar"
Or have you other wishes?
The more exactly you describe what you want, the more i can realize your wishes. If your advices are confuse i create a version based on my ideas.

An example you could see here on one of my german pages: https://www.ruebenwurzelit.de/ (https://www.ruebenwurzelit.de/)
Title: Re: Looking for Template
Post by: apple on April 21, 2023, 09:15:49 PM
Like the homepage but mix sounds interesting. Is it possible to have different header image on each page? Can I have the template you created on your german page please? :)
Thank you.

Yes. But in the Template i will offer this is not integrated. You have to look for Scripts wich can do this job and then integrate it yourself.

On my german homepage from the link above i use two Arcana Templates. One for the Startpage and one for all other Pages. And yes, it is my plan to offer these two Templates for the community, as soon as they are completely ready and the documentation about how to use is written. As i told above this will need a few days.

only, to think about it, has nothing to do with the problem here

i play a little with this template and work there with different blocks and at the end, i need only one template, but it can display all variants from this template

Can you share the template with me please?
Thank you in advance.

Simple Answer is NO
and you ask, why...

#1: i'm a professional web-agency and i make my money with my own work. its not part of my business, to take the work from others, in this case from the template-author and sold it as "my job"

#2: in my eyes, its not right (for me), to start a challenge with matthias aka ruebenwurzel, to present "the best job". You ask for some help, Matthias give the support and he spend a lot of time, to give a help for you. i know, what he does and i know, what time he need. Call it a kind of respect, if i present here not a "better" variation of this template

#3: it is here a HELP-Forum. that means, dont wait for a "ready to use-solution" and that means, you make the job and we give some support. its very simple, to port a free HTML-Template, if you have a little expirience  with HTML and if you can read the instructions from the WB-Help-Pages (https://help.WebsiteBaker.org/en/designerguide/porting-an-existing-html-template.php). It is very simple, you don't have to be an engineer for that. i can ask my kiddies, what i've to do. They compare some WB-Templates and see the difference.

#4: my intension to adapt the arcana-template, was the question: is it possible, to use a template like this together with Website-Baker and can i display all the content in the same output with wb-modules. the answer is YES
for the Full-Width-Banner on the start-page, i can use Ruud's Mini-Hero-Banner (https://dev4me.com/modules-snippets/opensource/minihero-banners/)
For the block with the "importants", i use the members-module with littles changes (add a text-field to add a font-awesome-icon) in the groups
the "gigantic-Block" is a simple Wysiwyg
the next block is also a members-module
for the block with the contact-form and the links, i've a own module. it was developed for a commercial website from a local factory here, but we change the system later to wordpress, because, they want also a included shop system. it can display, what ever i want in 1, 2, 3 or 4 columns. Its ready to use for experts, but not ready to publish - but all this are also possible without a special module

All other block are standard wb-modules, the social-media-icons come's from a wysiwyg-section, also the blue big line (if somebody needed), the copyright-line comes from the wb-settings

Thank you kindly. Looking forward to it. I want to see how you do it and like to share my future templates with the community once I understand fully how it works. The quickest way is to see how others do it.
Thank you.

Hello, I am not asking you to take other author's template as your own. The right thing to do it to give credit to the author. I appreciate the value of your time and explanation.
