JoomlArt's Blog

We are pretty close to saying bye to beta version of JA Builder and release an RC version next week, which comes with some major changes and features.

One of the features is "revisions", which are stored for restoration at any later time. This feature can be tested on the JA Builder demo and would be part of the release next week.

The new feature will auto save the changes you did when editing the page (for now, each revision includes 10 changes). Meaning, after you do 10 changes, it will be saved as a revision. You can revert to previous revision to revert the content, pretty handy feature.

JA Oslo - Joomla News Magazine Joomla template is now available. JA Oslo features unique design and layouts. All our earlier Joomla news or magazine templates shared some common features amongst themselves but for JA Oslo we wanted to try a totally different approach and the Oslo concept preview got mixed reviews from our members but mostly positive. JA Oslo is versatile and can even be adapted for simpler roles even for personal blogs, thats the beauty of it.

JA Oslo supports K2 component natively as requested by many of our members and T3 framework is the core as always. Feature highlights of JA Oslo are listed down in the blog. Do check out the live demo and let us know what you think.
