JoomlArt's Blog

A few days back, we have posted a teaser video of Joomla 3.3, and everybody seems to be on the hype of the upcoming Joomla.

So we quickly put together the new features of Joomla 3.3 in this infographic to keep you updated about the upcoming release.

Time flies and I can't imagine that it is already 7 years since our Purity template was chosen to be the winner of Joomla 1.5 template contest. The template was later selected to be included into the core of Joomla 1.5. Purity has been the most successful template so far because of its simplicity yet flexibility. It does not look fancy, but it works seamlessly with any type of content you come up with.

First month of the new year deserve much more than regular monthly releases, for starters we are releasing 3 cool FREE Joomla extensions which we are sure would be very useful for your websites. Yes, they are responsive too and works great with both Joomla 2.5 & Joomla 3.

These freebies are JA Image Hotspot module - Joomla extension for Image markup, JA Promo Bar module - cool flexible promotion bar for your site, and JA Google Charts module - Joomla extension for better visualization of your data using Google visualization API. Check out details below :

The responsive Joomla template bundle - JA Wall for blog, portfolio, magazine and business has been released to be compatible with Joomla 3.2.

Developing a portfolio or showcasing Joomla site from scratch? JA Appolio will definitely help cutting down the time and efforts of the whole process with its upto date features : latest Joomla version, updated Joomla extensions, interactive UI & UX, social login authentication, T3 Framework featuring all new Bootstrap 3, powerful blogging tool EasyBlog, Responsive and RTL language layouts.

What’s up guys!

Since the release of Joomla 3.2 stable version earlier this month, we have been working extra hours to update our Joomla templates and extensions to be compatible with it.

Starting off the first batch of the Joomla 3.2 update series, we are eager to announce the first 10 Joomla extensions & 14 Responsive Joomla templates make it to the top list.

Dear all JoomlArt lovers, we are delighted to introduce our Responsive Joomla template for Joomla 2.5 & Joomla 3 of this month – JA Obelisk. A perfect template for Movies and Entertainment Joomla sites.

Joomla 3.2 stable release is finally here after its first public testing release since October 11th, 2013. Then, what's new in Joomla! 3.2?

We put those new features in a quick infographic, so you can share it with your friends to spread the news on Joomla 3.2. It's always something new for everyone!

Say hello to JA Magz - the awesome October Responsive Joomla template for News & Magazine on both Joomla 2.5 & Joomla 3. Here are the 4 reasons why JA Magz is the bomb:

1. Supports over 41 languages (Bing translation)
2. JA Magz is extremely customization friendly
3. Fully responsive, supports EasyBlog and RTL language layout
4. Enhance productive collaboration and content sharing

Building a Joomla 2.5 or Joomla 3 multilingual site can be tricky, we encountered difficulties while trying to setup multi-language demo site to demonstrate our RTL language layouts for our latest templates. We developed a internal tool to overcome the problems we faced and we thought why not add more options and release the extension as FREE for the benefit of the Joomla! community.

If you could recall our old JoomlArt site, we used to have a complicated demo system for everything but Joomla extensions. We never had a dedicated demo site for our Joomla extensions, and guys normally had to go through info page or templates demo in order to see how the extensions function.

We did take time to work on this and guess what: a whole new and complete site only for extensions demo is out. The Extensions Demo site serves as a showcase for 25 Joomla Extensions Club extensions for Joomla 2.5 & Joomla 3, including modules, plugins and components.

We’re kicking off this fall with the awesome responsive Joomla template: JA Muzic for both Joomla 3 & Joomla 2.5 version, a great pick for Entertainment, Music and Digital Media Joomla template.

Congratulations on choosing to use Joomla for your website Content Management System (CMS). Currently Joomla 2.5 is the current Long Term Support (LTS) version, and Joomla 3.1 is the current Short Term Support (STS) version. After Joomla 3.1, there will be Joomla 3.2, then follow the next Long Term Support version Joomla 3.5 due for release in March 2014.

Following up with our Batch 1 upgrade for Joomla 3.1, here is our batch 2 upgrade for our most 13 popular extensions. Please always take due back-up of your site before proceeding to any of the upgrade process.

Following up with our upgrade plan mentioned in our Joomla 3.1 stable release is now available and JoomlArt's upgrade plan announcement yesterday. We’re here with our first batch for Joomla 3.1 upgrade:

Here at JoomlArt we are so excited that Joomla 3.1 stable version has been released this morning. We have been following the release dates closely ever since Joomla 3.1 first announcement was out and played with all of the Beta versions including the recent Beta 5. This is an important release due to the many new features including the much anticipated Tags feature. Apart from it, the Joomla 3.1 release also includes few more exciting new features :

The Joomla 3.1 release date is quickly approaching and we are excited to see so many new developments. One feature we are especially excited for is the introduction of tags into the core of Joomla, enabling users to implement tagging across all content. When the update is released we are looking forward to many interesting developments with the tagging. According to Joomla we can look forward to innovative features such as:

Last night Joomla announced that the T3 Framework for Joomla responsive templates will be officially integrated into the upcoming Joomla 3.5 distribution with an early alpha release with Joomla 3.1. This is fantastic news, as 6 years ago JA Purity won the Joomla Template Contest and now its our template framework, the day is not far when all Joomla templates will be based on our T3 framework.

At JoomlArt we are very excited about this and have already started working on early integration of T3 framework with the Joomla 3.1 release scheduled April 15th 2013. We have been thrilled ever since this idea was introduced after the release of Joomla 3.1 during last years World Joomla Conference held in San Jose, California. T3 Framework is the best of the best Joomla template framework especially for the responsive templates for Joomla 2.5 and Joomla 3.0 and is the best solution for ease of use and its ability to personally customize each template to a previously unthinkable level of detail.

We have recently upgraded 16 more templates and 8 extensions to be compatible with Joomla 3.0.3, adding to our current collection of 11+ Joomla 3.0 templates. Below we have the new upgrades available, please enjoy.

There was a very interesting blog post "10 web design trends that we can expect to see in 2013”. Out of those ten, four of the predicted trends caught my attention and they seem to be trending pretty well as the year 2013 is progressing.
