Some of you commented in my blog for asking the template named Simplex Portfolio in live demo of previous posts . Now ,I will introduce it to you all . Template :simplex Portfolio .
It's a template for gallery and online portfolio ,I think it the best for showing artwork .
This template has a blog and a gallery ,you can upload your image to gallery and share your thoughts ,your information in Blog . Like templates Simplex Worldnews and Simplex Darkness upgraded ,I made this template for easy to configure via widget system ,and try to make it easy to use . But as usual ,I still need your comment and advice for make this better .
Here is screenshot :
Gallery page

Live Demo | Download
Here is instruction to install this template :
1,Download template and unzip it . You get a template file in xml format and a folder for images. You can upload images to an image hosting and change links in template file accordingly .In template file ,I uploaded images to Imageshack hosting which is unlimited bandwidth ,so you don't need to upload images .
2,Upload template to Blogger .
3,To setup Search form ,Go to Dashboard -> Layout -> Edit HTML .Checked on Expand widget templates .Search for this code
<form action="http://www.google.com/cse" id="cse-search-box" target="_blank"> <div> <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-5647776272363922:fs5grtk1eoj" /> <input type="hidden" name="ie" value="ISO-8859-1" /> <input type="text" name="q" size="31" /> <input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" /> </div></form><script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/cse/brand?form=cse-search-box&lang=en"></script>

nhamngahanh, this template is genius. i've done it, 4 hours in front of pc. i've done some minor tweaking and the rest will be completed soon. anyway, kudos for your effort of making this template. million thanks to you.
ReplyDeletebtw, i've encountered the same problem with hakim at first. i can't open any of my post whether its in the blog section or the gallery section. secondly, the footer is crash and not well aligned. The problem is solved when I've added 4 photos to the gallery section and 5 post to the blog section. and then all of the post are working like a charm. i don't know how to explain that.
come visit my blog

ReplyDeleteHi.. I really like your template.
ReplyDeleteBut I have some problem with it.
The Gallery is work, but the blog is not working. No one of my post is shown in the home page.
What did I do wrong?
Vincentius, you must labelled each of your post on the blog section correctly. it must have 'blog' label in or it will not work.
ReplyDeleteanybody has an idea how to have it correctly show portrait style images?
ReplyDelete@Faris : Yes, I have done it. I put "blog" label in every post. still not working. Aaarrrggghh!!
ReplyDelete@Vincentius, try this. Put up 5 post under the 'blog'label and put some pictures on it. can i look on your site also?

Thanks!
Hi i have a question ..
ReplyDeletehow do u make sure the pics arent strecthed at the home page?
Mình xin nhờ Bạn chỉ giúp, là trong bài viết của mình có nhiều ảnh, nhưng khi xem bài viết Nó chỉ hiện 1 ảnh thôi, Mình muốn xem các ảnh trong 1 bài viết thì chỉnh thế nào vậy Bạn? rất mong hồi âm, xin cảm ơn nhiều
ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for sharing, its very nice. and amazing templates i love too much.....
ReplyDeletewww.itemplatez.com
Never mind, it works fine now- I just created a new blog and all problems are gone :D
ReplyDeleteThanks again for that great template!
Thanks for the template. What is the ideal size for the pictures? If I use blogger Large setting, it doesn't seem to be large enough for the blog pages (which means the photo gets re-sized and looks blurry). Yet if I use the X-Large, the photos are too big for the gallery menu pages.
ReplyDeleteSee http://pastelart.blogspot.com
Great! I love this temp.
ReplyDelete1st time, i didn't know how to edit but now it's ok.Thanks!
Hi there, this is a wonderful template to use, but I'm such a junk when it comes to blog. I have problems using this for my photography business. Do you mind teaching me? I've added u in Gtalk, maybe we can chat there further. Please Help!
ReplyDeletehttp://kevinmarshphotography.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteTake a look. Weird stuff.
- Clicking on photos or blogs leads to blank pages
- Strange formatting in footer area
Help!
Never mind.
ReplyDeleteSecret is to have at least 5 blog posts. I had 4.
Bạn ơi cho mình hỏi, đoạn code nào để làm cho khi xem các bài thuộc label gallery thì hình ảnh hiện thị chiều rộng 100% còn xem các bài viết thuộc label blog thì hình ảnh chỉ nhỏ thôi?
ReplyDeleteMình áp dụng vào blog của mình mà nó không hiện thị được như temp này của bạn.
Cám ơn Huy!
mong sớm hồi âm.
hello, how do i place an image as the background instead of just plain white? great template!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI have the template up and running and I have test pictures in my gallery and they're running fine and I even have my logo up.
However, when I put up a post meant to be a blog (blog written in label part) the bottom part of the page is distorted and the links to the gallery no longer shows the picture posts. I've saved my blog post as a draft so right now the page is correct.
Do you have any idea on why it would do that?
OK got the blog part figured out but how do I get the subscribe button working? I click on subscribe and it refreshes the home page. Also, how do I get other pictures to appear around the slideshow like it does in your sample?
ReplyDeleteI am having similar problems to MyreCat. I have labelled everything correctly and have put in the suggested amount of blogs and pics. but the blogs keep showing up in the galleries and vice versa. And i cant seem to create the categories without all of the posts blending into 1.
ReplyDeleteplease help
So I've just been testing things out with the template
ReplyDeleteIs there a certain size that is best for posting images? cause I tried using all the sizes that Blogger provides but my images are blurry.
Is there a reason for that?
hii thanks a lot, I really like your template. I have a suggestion, if you can make a small picture automatically appears on all the blog posts that do not contain any pictures?
ReplyDeleteI once again say thank you .. I really admire you ..
Hi,
ReplyDeleteSorry for English. I hope you understand me. My question is: how to post images in proportion to the vertical slide of the gallery and the thumbnails?
Another question: why the images load as if they are blurry? Is there a way to charge them in full size by clicking?
The rest of the model is working perfectly. Just got these questions.
To view my blog, go to: http://testedapri2.blogspot.com/
Thank you.
Ah thanks!
ReplyDeleteVery nice template!
ReplyDeleteOnly have one small problem, when I place an additional gadget, such as the "Blog Archive" the font of the header is incorrect.
Can someone point me where I can change this so that it is consistent with the other ones ?
Hi Huy,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great template. You are the best among all blogger template creator.
Do you mind looking at this wordpress template & take some time to convert it to something similar?

We all will be glad to have this template.
Best regards,

Ok, I seem to have gotten things somewhat working. I posted an image that was 683px width and it is still showing up stretched. Also all of my images are pixeled', what size image do you recommend and what blogger size (small, med, lg, xl)? The images that I posted in the 'blog' section look fine in the post but are stretched/smashed in the side menu (thumbnails).
ReplyDeleteAlso, I see you posted to @dahn jacobs concerning the names of 'gallery' and 'blog'. Can you help explain a little more how to get those changed as well as how to delete the 'subscribe'?
I really like your template and really would like to get some use out of it, but my patience with this is growing thin with each hour I spend trying to get it right.
All help and tips are appreciated.
Your template is problem on blog label...help me to make it better
ReplyDeletehttp://shelikesexy.blogspot.com
About the fonts of added widgets, the answer is (guess I'm a blogger.com newby):
ReplyDeleteEdit the HTML with the 'Expand Widget Templates' checked. You can then alter the inside HTML tags, such as the font settings.
Hi and thanks for the great template!I have only one question:Is there a way of having more than 5 images shown under the slideshow?All the demos and blogs I see,the slideshow works till the 5th photo.Why doesn't show more than 5 pictures?Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful template! I have some question.
How can i set as homepage the "blog"page?
Can i add another page which has a different gallery?
Many many thanks for your help!!

Thanks god! I found your site man. really. you really deserve my subscribe..
ReplyDeleteOK! So the 4:5 combo seems to do the trick only not clear why the quality of my images are so horrible.
ReplyDeleteOk. Did anyone figure out really what to do with the images because my images are large but when uploaded on blogger they look ok in the gallery view but when you click on them I am getting pixelated images that don't look good at all. Please help. Again my blog is at http://eyhomebase.blogspot.com.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Love the template

ReplyDeleteA tip for everyone,
ReplyDeleteMy images were showing perfectly ... then I switched Blogspot feed settings to "PARTIAL" feeds... and the pictures disapeared! (They showed NO IMAGE).
Once I returned my feed settings to "FULL" everything went back to normal.
It's working perfectly. Great theme!
Hi~ I love the look of your template!
ReplyDeleteHowever, my line spacing in the blog section is inconsistent.
It changes from double line spacing to single line spacing randomly.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you!

Hi! You're blog templates are great. I'm using one for a photo blog at http://dslrimagery.blogspot.com.
ReplyDeleteI have an issue with the blog posting though. What code do I need to change so that it shows at least 4 blog entries instead of 1 on the home page.
Thanks a lot!
I think it would also be great if an ad can be place beside the header pic ^^, just my two cents in.
ReplyDeleteThere is currently a major problem. The home page featured gallery suddenly stopped working tonight. The images are all over the place and the slider isn't working! This is affecting everyone using this template, even your own live demo version. What happened? Did one of your hosted JavaScript files go offline or something? :(
ReplyDeleteOkay, now it's working on your demo page only but still not working on everyone elses blog...
ReplyDeleteThe slider on the homepage is not working please advise! For example see http://www.kimakeup.com
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem of non-working slideshow... Do you have an idea or a solution since last comment? Thx for your help!
ReplyDeleteChỉ giùm tớ cách đưa hình vào phần slide cho nó chạy với! Tớ làm mà hình nó ko chạy mà các bài cứ xổ thẳng xuống. Không biết có phải là do ở cái widget gallery lúc đầu nội dung trống, sau tớ thêm vào nội dung chữ gallery như hình. Tớ cũng thử vào widget này để xóa ở phần content đi mà ko xóa được. Tớ cảm ơn!
ReplyDeleteTrang của tớ: http://baotangkyucxahoi.blogspot.com/
@Binh Bong: mình nghĩ là do mấy file .js bị hỏng, thầy thử đọc bài của bạn Huy nói ở trên để sửa lại.

How to make a post for gallery? How to make a code for this? Thanks.
Thank you so much! This is a great template, and so are all your others.
ReplyDeleteI have almost everything working well.
Few issues.
1. In the demo I see the slider + 3 images to the right.
Mine only shows one and then too many rows down.
2. In the Gallery, there are three images across, I would prefer four. And again too many rows.
3. My blog posts are badly formatted. All images that were centered are now aligned to the left.
Text that is in div tags for centering now looks smaller than the rest of the post text. And it has ended up beside the images rather than under them.
4. Where can I change the font style of the posts?
I really appreciate you taking the time to answer all our queries.

One more... :
ReplyDeleteOn recent works in gallery widget, some posts indicate:

I would prefer the first format.
anyone can help me to do this work?

Got it working... I thought I should say why:
ReplyDeleteI couldn't fix it successfully with the manual patch, and I only managed to fix it by installing the template again from the latest XML template file.
Made the google custom search, and then, before I even noticed, it started working...
Cheers for the template, it is cool...
One question... is the free games link necessary? Can't I change the name of that link to something else like "and flash games producer"?

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI think this is a super awesome template. Thank you for providing us with this. I am currently playing around with it.
How do you make photos in the gallery page (or any sub page under gallery) clickable (so they open up their own page). I saw that some one else had asked the same question but did not see your reply.
I would really appreciate it a lot if you can teach me how to do that.
@nhamngahanh - First of all thanks for this template.. Is there any chance to increase the number of photos that is moving in the slider? Coz' in your template it only caters 5(latest) photos in the gallery. Looking forward to hearing from you. Cheers and thanks!
ReplyDeleteTem como criar uma galeria como essa pra instalar na pagina do blog (http://veja.abril.com.br/multimidia/galeria-fotos/roqueiros-no-swu) pra colocar no blogger ?
ReplyDeleteOu colocar uma galeria no lugar do template com varios albúns e podendo adicionar varias fotos?
Pois faço cobertura de eventos e preciso de uma galeria ou pra colocar dentro do site em uma pagina ou fazendo um novo blog pra colocar a galeria.

Fantastic Template, how can i change the "gallery" to a different name to be shown in top navigation?
ReplyDeleteHi, your template is great! I need your help though. I tried to read all the comments to see if anyone has asked the same question and someone did but I saw no reply to that. How do I delete the 'subscribe' from the menu?

Thank you!
@sky : you can check the answer of mine to Iceberk's question above and delete the 'subscribe' easily

ReplyDeleteI'll keep you posted!
Hi, Nhamngahanh, Katerina and others.
ReplyDeleteI wish too the pictures were clickable to open a fullsize view of the picture in lightbox effect.
This is very important for photographers to show the true quality of the pictures. Still do not know if this is possible, but I think it would be a great improvement for this gorgeous blogger template.
Thanks for your time, your answers and your talent.
