The Zodiac frameworks includes 2 main blocks: Edit Head links and framework menu in Widget/HTML
1. Edit Head links
The Edit Head block includes
2. Zodiac framework menu
This block should be added to footer or sidebar of your website in order to be visible in all pages.
The 2 files (CSS and JS) of Zodiac framework are hosted on a demo Jimdo website. If you wish to use your own website, just save 2 files in your computer and upload them to your file directory. Check the section File upload with further details.
All custom widgets of Zodiac framework should be used in module Widget/HTML. All you have to do is just click the copy button of selected widget and paste the code inside Widget/HTML
Many custom widgets are using the demo images that you will have to change for your own ones ( overlay teaser, parallax, sliders, tile widget ).
How to add your own images?
01 Prepare your own image you'd like to use for parallax or any other widget.
02 In admin mode, navigate Design> Custom Template> Files and upload your image. If you're already installed the Zodiac framework menu on your website, select direct link Custom layout> Files
03 When you successfully uploaded your image, you will find it in your files list. On mouseover select the Copy Link Address
04 Paste the link address inside the Widget/HTML changing the demo image URL
Important note:
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
Some of the Zodiac widgets are using the icons from Font Awesome framework ( v.4.7)
Please check the below link with all available icons:
Example of using Font Awesome Icons:
<div class="fa fa-diamond fa-4x">
</div>
<div class="fa fa-rocket fa-4x">
</div>
Support is available only for Zodiac Pro users.
The brand colors can be setup in Edit Head ( Settings> Edit Head ):
<style type="text/css">
/*<![CDATA[*/
.bg-primary {
background:#5580ff!important;
}
.bg-secondary {
background:#ff8a73!important;
}
#cc-inner .j-formnew input[type='submit'],#cc-inner .hs-button {
padding:18px 45px;
}
/*]]>*/
</style>
There are 2 classes bg-primary and bg-secondary ( you can add other classes for your own preference).
Here's an example of using buttons with your brand colors:
<a class="hs-button bg-primary" href="https://www.matrix-themes.com/" target="_blank">Button</a>
In the same section Edit Head you can change the default padding of your buttons making them smaller or bigger.
Customize the widgets with colors, size and other values with helper classes
<a class="hs-button" href="https://www.matrix-themes.com/" target="_blank">Button</a>
<a class="hs-button bg-pumpkin mid-round size-18" href="https://www.matrix-themes.com/" target="_blank">Button</a>
In our second example we used the following helper classes:
bg-pumpkin - for background color
mid-round - for border-radius
size-18 - for font size
The full list of helper classes and other examples can be found in Zodiac framework menu> Helper classes
If you need to style an element with your values, you can use the inline style. Please pay attention to it's position:
<a class="hs-button" style="background:#00858e;" href="https://www.matrix-themes.com/" target="_blank">Button</a>
You can hide the main image from one of your page using the body class no-hero
This option is available only in Pro or Business Jimdo package
This feature has been taken from Matrix Themes and allows you to alter the design of default Jimdo elements
It's about pre-made js scripts that should be always added inside of the module 'columns'
Available options:
01 Add a module Columns to your content with 2 rows (columns). Inside the left column display an image and any content inside the right column
02 From Zodiac framework menu, select Zodiac Add-ons > Play of columns and choose any widget by clicking the copy button and paste the code inside the right column
That's all. Sometimes you need to refresh the page to see the effect.
Animations
Please note that using Animations widget will animate any widget added inside the columns.
This widget doesn't require to be added inside the columns, just use Widget/HTML directly on any page of your content section or Edit Head section to apply the animation to the whole website.
No Coding features have the same function like Play of Columns but instead of using a code in Widget/HTML, you add only class names as Alt text to the image. It can be used only with Jimdo modules Photo and Text with Photo
You can easily add fullwidth images, parallax, custom captions and hover effects.
