New Krafter 2.0 Update!

The New Update To Krafter Design System brings:

  • Shadow presets

  • Border presets

  • Background blur presets

  • Now grayscale values now based on HSL

  • Available for download here!

Ernie St. Gelais

Your Krafter updates seem very useful, unfortunately there is no easy way to update a previous Krafter install, so I have abandoned using it. Once you and your team come up with a way to update the install, please let me know so I can reconsider using it.

Gary Gordon

Ernie  I agree. See my follow up post below.

Mak , can you explain when to use Site Krafter and/or Krafter, please?

I probably should read more into it, but I thought you could explain it faster:-).

Or is Krafter, as a design tool, more focused on DiVi5 versus Site Krafter, which is more suitable as a child theme for DiVi4?

The confusing part is the portion where all settings are like color, sizes etc,.

Hi Mak 👍, i noticed that there is only H4 in the VManager but not the other H clamp values....Are they missing or is it normal? 😜

Hello Ernie,
It´s pease of cake to upgrade Krafter

  1. just unzip the Krafter.zip file you get the krafter.json file.
  2. Go to Divi library click at Export/Import buton in left corner choose Import then choose your krafter.json file and check the import presets and click import..
  3. All Done just use it on any page.

Good Luck
Happy New Year!

Robert Jarinka and Mak 
After Importing Krafter 2.0, I noticed there's still the Krafter 1.9 version in the Divi Library. Should I delete the Krafter 1.9 version?

Thank you,
Mark

Robert J

Mark Cugal Hello Mark, Yes you can just delete that version i think the new version contain everything i did also delete.

Jonathan McMillan

Robert J Thanks.....this worked. I think I followed a documentation that was meant for a child theme. I didn't realize we just needed to upload that .json file to the library with the import presets checked. You comment helped....thanks.

MAK, I know I had asked about this before and you said you were going to have one of your developers look into making this happen, but as Ernie also said above, it would be a huge help and improvement if you could turn Krafter into a plugin, that would allow you to automatically updatet the plugin (ever time there's an update) and all we'd have to do is download the update from within the plugins area, and then Krafter would automatically be updated and we wouldn't have to download the Krafter json file and import it. The issue is, if we are using Krafter on multiple websites, downloading the Krafter json file and having to upload it into each website is just very time consuming. Can you let me know where you are with this and share with us a timeline as to when this might be implemented. Thanks, Gary

Gary Gordon I also thought there was an issue with uploading importing the new version because it would overwrite any presets/settings that existed with the same name. Things like colors and even perhaps clamp definitions that you might have changed would be overwritten. I had tried to upload one of the earlier Krafter versions (1.3?) and it caused a critical error, so I had to restore from backup. Maybe that isn't an issue, but hoping you can tell me your experience.

Gary Gordon

Mak Ernie Michael mitchell royster Mark Cugal (and others)  Ernie That's not good. :( I'm concerned with another question. If we want to make custom changes to the KRAFTER defaults that we want to use on our website, so we can change the fonts, colors, etc., etc., within Krafter, and have Krafter show our "new" and custom changes throughout our website, my question is, if we upgrade to a newer version of Krafter by importing in the new version, will it OVERWRITE any of the changes that we made to Krafter (previously)? I'm thinking the answer is yes. So if the answer "is yes", how can we make custom changes to Krafter (fonts, colors, sizes, etc.) and have them NOT be overwritten when we upload a new version of Krafter? I guess I'm just confused. It would be appreciated if Mak would answer us when we ask questions or report issues. I also haven't gotten much help at all when I create a support ticket. His work is great but I'm just feeling there's a lot needed in the way of support.

Michael

No one will answer here, I purchased the Divi program for $27 and the Divi Krafter $77 which I am submitting for a refund through my bank. No one answers any of their tech support online anywhere, I have posted in several of them. They just want to sell as many subscriptions as they can, but support is non existent.

Robert J

If this helps i don´t now but you can email him to this email address --> mak@creativeastro.com
Or try to reach him trough the youtube address.

Michael

Robert J Thank you Robert I will try that, but it is ridiculous how many places you can ask a question, but no one responds.

mitchell royster

Yeah, this is bogus. I bought Presets, and I've not been able to access any of them. It's been over 2 weeks and no one has even gotten back to me on Support. If you can't handle the volume of customers you bring in, then stop looking to get more customers.

Philip Jamlean

The link in the email doesn't help you download Krafter 2.0. It takes you to a website you don't have access to.
I obtained Krafter 2.0 another way. I also purchased Divi 5 Mastery and logged in to the Divi University website. At the top of the menu bar is My Dashboard. Click on it to access a page with all your information. Click on Account, and then see Downloads in the left sidebar. Click on it. There you'll see the Krafter 2.0 zip file with a download button. This one works. That's how I obtained Krafter 2.0.

Michael

Philip Jamlean That is the problem Philip, when I go to my Dashboard and click Downloads it say: Oops! You don’t have permission to view this page! Make sure you’re logged in and try again, or contact support.

Robert J

Michael Hello Michael i tried now to send an private mail to Mak to see if has the time to answer you.
I hope this is going to solve realy quick.
My best regards

/ Robert

Michael

Robert J Thank you Robert, still not impressed with his whole experience.

Philip Jamlean

Michael In your Dashboard go to Account. Then Download in the leftsidebar.

Michael

Michael

And I am logged in:

Philip Jamlean

Michael This is my login page:Dashboard - Account - Downloads.

Michael

Philip Jamlean Phillip, thank you that worked, I would have never thought to look in the Accounts when there is a button that says Krafter and Downloads, this system is not well thought out, but thank you for showing me the workaround.

Jonathan McMillan

Has anyone downloaded the new Krafter-2.0.zip and installed successfully? I just bought it and followed the documentation at: https://diviuniversity.com/docs/installing-sitekrafter-pro/

Got a big ole error...so maybe the documentation is out-of-date? It looks like the zip file only contains 1 json file and doesn't want to upload as a theme when installing the downloaded zip file.
