Get 2024 Templates Mega Bundle!$1000 worth of 19 Bootstrap HTML, Vue & React Templates + 3 Vector Sets for just $99
Get for 99$

OOOOPS, I got the wrong template... ORER_ID: 207493820


After researching templates for 2+ days I FINALLY found the perfect CLEAN admin template that seems to have good
support and is not 2 years old. I was delighted and giddy when I found the "Star - Star HTML Pro" template!

I just bought it this afternoon.
But upon downloading it and browsing the source code, I was wondering where the gulp information / files were and there seemed to be some missing page information. I just ignored the ASP part, thinking it was some server side code for some of the examples (like you find in so many HTML + Laravel templates out there).... Then upon closer inspection and a little googling I realized that ASP was Microsoft equivalent of JSP!!!! UGGGH!!! It makes this otherwise wonderful template useless to me.

So I have three requests for you:

1) Can you please issue a refund for the order below, unless we can swap the license for another product... see 3) below.

Star - Star HTML Pro
Order id: 207493820
Price: 69$
Support: Includes 6 months support until: 05 Oct 2023


2) Do you have a version of this wonderful template WITHOUT that ASP nonsense (my opinion, take no offense :-) )?


3) I found two VERY SIMILAR templates to the "Star HTML PRO" from KeenThemes BUT they seem to only be available on the getbootstrap.com website. The "Craft" and the "Keen (3)" templates.

CRAFT template:
https://themes.getbootstrap.com/product/craft-bootstrap-5-admin-dashboard-theme/

KEEN (3) template:
https://themes.getbootstrap.com/product/keen-the-ultimate-bootstrap-admin-theme/

And unfortunately, on that site, the licenses offered do not seem appropriate for my situation (a SAAS website). Is it possible to purchase the CRAFT (or possibly the KEEN 3) directly from KeenThemes with the same license used for the "Star HTML Pro" licence (i.e. one that works for SAAS where clients pay to access).

I would be happy to just switch source code for the "CRAFT" and no need to refund the credit card if I can use it with the SAAS compatible license.

I am very eager to find a solution and work with your product as I got a very good first impression from your various themes and documentation.

Please advise on the best course of action.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,

Your purchase has 2 separate versions, HTML and ASP.NET Starter Kit that work with the HTML version. However, you can use the HTML version without the ASP.NET starter kit. So you can simply remove the asp.net folder in the zip and use the HTML folder as a plain HTML theme for your project. You can check the plain HTML templates in /star_html_pro_v1.0.0/html/theme/dist/index.html.

Regards.



Ahh yes, I see that now.
And I see that all the css / JS is cleverly compiled using npm/gulp/yarn...

But what of the HTML itself!?!?
Reading the .html source files, it clearly is the output of some template processing
(it would not make sense to manually copy the bulk of the identical html code from the model into each html file for the common parts (header, footer, menu etc...) as it would be unmaintainable.

So I would assume you might are using some JS templating engine compatible with gulp such as:

https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/
https://handlebarsjs.com/
https://pugjs.org/api/getting-started.html
https://mustache.github.io/
https://github.com/twigjs/twig.js/
https://www.npmjs.com/package/jinja-js
https://ejs.co/

Since you are providing us with the CSS / JS equivalient of templating / bundling, I would expect that you would also provide us with the templating engine used to produce the .html files (and the source templates!).

What engine are you using AND, most importantly, may I have access to the templates and build tools. It would make everybody's live MUCH easier in customizing and maintaining the changes to the resulting HTML :-)

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi,

Thanks for the advice. Yes, we were considering a gulp/webpack templating engine. We will check the ones you suggested. We will do R&D and choose the most active and reliable templating engine.

Unfortunately, we can't share out internal CMS that we use for generating our templates. However, you can use the layout builder to export the layout partials for your server-side integration. Page contents you can copy from the page content area of the inner page templates.

The entire theme docs are available here.

Regards.



I'm not sure how this is useful???
I downloaded the partials from the layout builder and put them in my dist folder. Reloading the page gives me a BLANK page..... no menu in sight, not even a hello world!?!?!?

Given that this is an admin template, the core of which IS the menu system, one might expect that the core layout builder returned would be a working example of a "hello world" page... i.e. the body of the page nearly empty with the working header/footer and left menu system.

What exactly am I supposed to do with the output of the layout builder???

Reading the index.html, I see a bunch of layout-partial: ... comments
pointing to snippets of html.

There is no documentation as to what is what and as pointed out above, it does not even show up a basic menu and blank page.

While your template is really really nice looking, I fear that it is MUCH too complicated to use and maintain. The level of complication compared to other templates seems to stem from the fact that you use an in-house CMS to produce a number of target (VUE, react, etc...) which is really nice except that it seems to get in the way of providing the utmost clarity for each target (well, at least for the html).

In other words, the multi-target + CMS is great for you guys but does not serve me well at all.
