Hello!

I saw a modern looking responsive website - ralf-kerkhoff.de - made with Zenphoto and the Libratus theme. I was very impressed. If such templates are available on Zenphoto, I told myself, then it is indeed a real all in one solution.
However I'm a bit taken aback by the dreadful rating of this theme 1.8/5 over 37 votes. Why? Does it take too much coding to make it work properly? The absence of comment justifiying the rating makes it a bit difficult to assess.
I would appreciate some feedback as to why this superb looking theme got such a low rating.

Thank you! :)

As the creator I would like to know as well, in order to keep it updated. I thought this was one of my best themes. Oh well... ;)

Hi gjr, would you say your theme as implemented in Ralf's website (ralf-kerkhoff.de) is a standard implementation or does it look like a modified version?

I think I know what's happening. When confronted with an arbitrary rank or grade on a product they're interested in, users tend to look for details/expand. As I understand there's no details to be expanded but the only clickable bit is the "submit" link, whose default value is the average of the former votes. So there's a snowball effect and a lot of people looking for more information end up giving you less than 2 stars. I know because I just did it, by mistake, most probably like the 30+ other users.

Is it possible to flag the ranking interface?

Looks unmodified to me.

Hi,
the only thing which is modified is the google adsense code added to some pages.

Everything else is 'out of the box' - and after using the theme for some time I would rate it with 5stars.

Cheers
Ralf

Hey for the record i love the libratus theme. Im wondering though is there some easy way to make the height of the mainpage slideshow 50% of the browser. Because right now alot of people are not recognizing that you can scroll down to get to albums. I would really appreciate any hints about what to modify to get this working

Add the following line to the theme's style.css file:
#ss-wrap{height:50%;}

(location of the style.css file: /themes/libratus/css/style.css)

#ss-wrap{height:50vh;} might be better. vh is the viewport height (= browser window). In older browser that will not work though so try first the percent values for older and then the newer version.

Thanks worked great! Again this theme is the best looking theme of all that ive encountered and its the reason we setteled for zenphoto. As the system is great but the other themes look alittle outdated
