JoomlArt's Blog

Someone once said that when we dream a dream together, it will become reality.

My friends, the Joomla humble bundle is reality. Let’s cheer our glasses and give a toast to the success of the first milestone: $10,000 has been raised for the Joomla!Community (within less 2 weeks).

When we worked on the Joomla humble bundle idea we received many questions where the money of the fund will end up. To be transparent, this blog post should keep you in sync to clarify this question.

We successfully accomplished two deals of Joomla Humble Bundles between us and JomSocial and redComponent. Two more deals are in progress. Thanks to the supports from all Joomla lovers and fans around the world. This is a good sign to consolidate the belief of JoomlArt and all our partners who have agreed to join us and make the $1M target feasible. We are working hard to bring on the most exciting deals to create a good cause for the Joomla Community.

Our team and all the volunteers, developers and businesses of commercial extensions and template clubs have been enjoying the growth of the Joomla Community since the foundation of Joomla. As a little gesture of gratitude, we want to contribute to this growth.

2012 has peacefully passed with the not-became-true Mayans prediction, but we made the 2 first deals come true with JomSocial and redComponent. 884 deals were sold out and the amount of $9,283.10 generated so far for Joomla! community strengthens our belief that the generosity of Joomla! supporters will make the $1M dream come true.

The first deal of Joomla Humble Bundle, the one with our friends at JomSocial, has been up and running for 5 days and so far $4000 has been raised for Joomla Community.
We hope you enjoyed being part of it! And in case you didn’t knew about it, the deal is still waiting for you to pick up at our Bundle page, but time is running out, so hurry up!

Mayans predicted bu world did not end, similarly, the deals are not ending at our Joomla Humble Bundle, a new deal with RED hot partner redCOMPONENT is live now

Ok, time is up and the wait is over! Thank you for your patience and now your love for Joomla Community is compensated right here with the first deal of Joomla Humble Bundle between JoomlArt and JomSocial team.

Heading toward the end of the year 2012, we - the JoomlArt team - have had this ongoing train of thoughts (at least for several months now) in how to end this year and get a kick-start on our new year resolution of the future 2013 in the most meaningful way possible.

Good news for the JA Wall builders, new version of JA Wall now sports all new Christmas theme apart from the bug fixes and update for the latest K2 component version 2.6.2. Dress up your Wall website this season with all new Christmas theme.

With this latest version of T3v3 framework, we have introduced the responsive layout configurations. Simply put, now its possible to plan your responsive layouts (different layouts for mobile, handheld, tablets and so on) very easily. Normal users will find it very handy as it does away with the need of coding at the same time developers can dive deep and customize the layouts, we have made it very simple to understand and update.

For the past few days, we have received several reports on our forum related to unexpected virus issues detection by Avast antivirus software on our site which has disabled our member access to JoomlArt.com! Our team immediately jumped in and carefully investigated to detect the issue's origin.

We quickly figured out why Avast has defined it as a “Potentially Suspicious ” as we did implement some page redirections to our JoomlArt 2012 Thanksgiving Nexus10 giveaway official page.

I knew you guys has been pretty looking forward to this announcement ever since the launch of Nexus 10 giveaway campaign. Thanks for everyone for participating. We have more than 3,000 of tweets and share on Twitter & Facebook, plus 30,000+ visits to the Nexus 10 official page. This event was such a blast!!!

We have to admit: "It's quite difficult to pick out the winner!"

And it would be harder to have an online the lucky draw with you guys (even though we would love to do so!). Therefore, we have recorded a short video on the actual procedure that we did to select JoomlArt 2012's Nexus 10 giveaway winner as seen on our Nexus 10 official page:

The holiday season is almost here and with holidays come the sale. Last year we gave away an Ipad2 and this year we are giving away brand new Google Nexus 10 tablet along with 35% discount on everything we have at JoomlArt.

The first Joomla World Conference has started a few hours back here in San Jose and we are Video Sponsor for the event. Looking at the response the decision to sponsor was totally worth it. Its great to meet fellow Joomla guys.I just hope we dont run out of beers.

We were to have thanksgiving promotions next week but for the love of Joomla! I am kickstarting the promotion week early. Starting right now.. enjoy 35% OFF across store.

This Thanksgiving we would like to offer our thanks to all the Magento Theme Club members and Magento lovers out there in general with our all new Magento responsive theme - JM Wall. For the past two months, our team has worked extra miles in order to meet deadlines and deliver this Thanksgiving gift on time for our members.

We're here with another post on one of the greatest features in T3v3: ThemeMagic. If you guys have installed the latest T3v3 version, you probably already have had the chance to test it.

What is ThemeMagic?

In short, ThemeMagic lets you customize your JoomlArt T3v3 based Joomla! template without having to search for the right file or without diving into the code, one can manipulate most of the template's CSS properties right from the ThemeMagic backend. Video says it all :

A few days ago, we introduced the Layout Configuration feature. We're here with the update, to show you how this awesome feature can be easily used in JA Brisk - our latest Joomla! 3.0 responsive template.

JA Brisk - JoomlArt November responsive template for Joomla! 2.5 & Joomla! 3.0

We have been receiving the same questions over and over again from you guys:

• Joomla! 3.0 was out already, what is your plan for Joomla! 3.0?
• Do you guys have a rough idea when exactly your template will be available for Joomla! 3.0?
• OMG, when are you guys are going to release Joomla! 3.0 templates?
• Are you sure you are going to have Joomla! 3.0 template anytime soon, 'cuz I'm not informed at all on you guys' intention toward Joomla! 3.0?

T3v3 Framework Beta 2 was released on last Saturday (Oh yes, we got too excited and worked the extra hours on the weekend). This version is more than just bug fix release, it's an improvement release. We have gone bold and taken this chance to redo the layout configurations, so as to make it easier for you guys in styling your template’s layout.

Ready for Halloween? Here at JoomlArt we have prepared a great Halloween Promotion. A special coupon code and a lucky draw for 4 tickets of Joomla World Conference!
