That's all. Now you can use  the framework in your website. Please read carefully the important information before working with it.

 

What about Updates? 

The url of links in Edit Head area are always updated with the latest version of framework. Please make sure the ones you're using on your website are the same like on my page above. 

2. Important notes

It is very important to use Jimdo module Widget/HTML for all custom widgets. In this way the custom styles will overwrite the default Jimdo system styles. Some of the widgets will work only inside of module 'Widget/HTML'.


Jimdo offers 2 types of templates: fullwidth and boxed. If you're using boxed layout or a template with left or right sidebar, the full width sections and parallax require additional class is-boxed. This won't allow you to overlap the content area


3. Instructions

How to change image in custom widgets

To change the image in slider, parallax or any custom widget, you need to upload your own image to Design > Custom Template > Files. 

Once uploaded, click the image name which will be opened in a new tab and copy the url of the image from the browser address bar and paste it to Widget/HTML replacing the default image of demo site.

Once copied  your  image url, paste it Widget/HTML replacing the default image of demo site:


...
<div class="hs-thumbnail">
        <img src="https://u.jimcdn.com/cms/o/s1aeecbbb2a5865b1/userlayout/img/altona-bg.jpg?t=1506590873" alt="" />
    </div>
...

How to replace the Font Awesome Icons

Zodiac includes Font Awesome framework v.4.7. so all available icons are available here:

https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icons/

Below is an example of the widget with the diamond icon:


<!-- ************* Fa description widget ************* -->
<div class="hs-description center-align">
    
        <div class="fa fa-diamond fa-4x">
        </div>

        <h3 class="add-top-10">
            your title
        </h3>

        <p>
            This is an example text, simply click to edit or delete it. Delete example content by clicking on it and using the trash icon on the left. The plus icon lists all of the elements you can
            use to add content to your website
        </p>
   
</div>

your title

This is an example text, simply click to edit or delete it. Delete example content by clicking on it and using the trash icon on the left. The plus icon lists all of the elements you can use to add content to your website


If you change  fa-diamond for any other icon name, let's do it with fa-bus, we will get the widget like this:


<!-- ************* Fa description widget ************* -->
<div class="hs-description center-align">
    
        <div class="fa fa-bus fa-4x">
        </div>

        <h3 class="add-top-10">
            your title
        </h3>

        <p>
            This is an example text, simply click to edit or delete it. Delete example content by clicking on it and using the trash icon on the left. The plus icon lists all of the elements you can
            use to add content to your website
        </p>
   
</div>

your title

This is an example text, simply click to edit or delete it. Delete example content by clicking on it and using the trash icon on the left. The plus icon lists all of the elements you can use to add content to your website


If you have found a bug or error, please leave the comment below always indicating the name of the template you're using. Thank you.

    Hello,

    How can I use the shortcodes for my website with the matrix theme?
    I don’t really know where to install.


    Greetings
    Leo

    @Leo you don't need to use zodiac with Matrix themes as all custom widgets are already included in default Matrix theme.
    The framework can be used only in standard Jimdo templates

    Hi

    Why do you use a CSS class <h1> for your brand "Zodiac Framework". With this setup on every site of my client's website occurs two H1. This is very suboptimal regarding SEO. Is there a way to change it to <h2> or delete it?

    Thanks for your response.

    Dominique


    <a href="#0" class="cd-btn" style="z-index:11;"></a>
    <div class="cd-panel from-left">
    <header class="cd-panel-header orange">
    <h1>
    Zodiac Framework
    </h1>
    <a href="#0" class="cd-panel-close"></a>
    </header>

    @Dominique it's not important. However, you can change h1 tag for any other, span or simply remove it

    Hey Serhiy,

    just a quick question: I purchased the zodiac pro version. But when I click 'play of columns' it just says "Oops! page not found". Probably just a broken link. Maybe you could have a look at this?

    Thank you!
    Chris
