I can't install v 1.1.5 for some reason... I downloaded the package but when I upload it via extensions - install it says parserror... :-O

EDIT: sry it was my fault... Didnt use akeeba to move it to a different host and there were some leftovers in database... Its working as expected ;-)

drarvindc LONG Overdue!!

As @gringo211985 says, we deserve some form of compensation here, given that we have been paying for JA Builder and not received any updates/improvements for over 6 months!

We look forward to seeing what the new JA Builder will offer on July 15th...

Thanks

aman204

romolo You may kindly view here as JA Builder has been updated for various bug fixes with JA Joomla page builder version 1.1.5 being the latest version which can be downloaded and installed

Also, As Arvind has been pleased to inform that company's primary focus is currently on T4 and New page builder so we can surely except great overall changes along with robust features, probably 🙂

Till then, Will really apppreciate patience and co-operation alongwith

Also, Joomlart has recently been into acquisitions scaling up their product offerings for JA members under one roof and there is strategic and long-range planning (roadmap) to be executed for extensions which have come as part of acquisition of the specific company

Thanks for being part of our growing community

aman204 Ok, so to clarify, will we see a JA Builder update on July 15th? Please confirm. Thanks.

aman204

romolo We can except estimated time of arrival (E.T.A) to be met although there could be times when circumstances beyond control can push or pull the stipulated date however, JA Dev. Team will endeavour to provide the updates till stipulated date.

Will keep you informed about the same or you may always view the Release updates through here for which Mail Notification alerts are also sent to Premium members whenever new topic is posted 🙂

@drarvindc We hope to preview the new builder hopefully by July 15th. Its a work in progress.

jackstall

Well....for me - its not about updates all that much... I am glad it works and its still the best builder I have ever worked with... (Except PageFly builder for shopify) ;-)

Update on JA Builder?

drarvindc

romolo

The new builder preview is delayed. It will be previewed along with T4, which is work in progress.

If there are any critical bugs in current page builder, please ping me and I will get them fixed right away. No major version of current page builder is planned as the focus is on the new builder.

romolo

drarvindc Right ok, can we have a rough ETA on T4 then? Thanks

jackstall

drarvindc

so there is gonna be a new builder? Awesome! How is it gonna work? Lets say I am starting a new website development within a few days - will it be possible to update what I create now with current page builder to the new page builder? Thank you :-)

jackhakimian

jackstall T4 means new template framework, not JA Builder update, so I guess you have to wait longer for next update.

drarvindc

jackstall

Yes, it should be possible to move to new builder as all the older blocks would be made available in new builder too. There is a major difference of bootstrap version and thats the reason we have to work on new builder.

jackhakimian Hi

Please refer to forum post excerpt by Arvind which is being quoted thereafter:

The new builder preview is delayed. It will be previewed along with T4, which is work in progress.

which squarely emphasize that new JA Page Builder will be previewed alongwith T4 framework 🙂

Let us please wait till the next blog update announcing the release as the blog announcement will consists of information related to design/performance improvement, new features, bug fixes e.t.c

will it be possible to update what I create now with current page builder to the new page builder?

@jackstall Please wait till blog announcement on the release as the same should "probably" emphasize on the migration feature. Will also share this with JA Dev. Team so as to have it for consideration with new JA page Builder

Cheers

drarvindc

jackhakimian

T4 is upcoming template framework and there is a new page builder too coming up with T4.

jackstall

aman204 Yeah thanks I was just worried cause it sounded like theres gonna be a completely new and different page builder and I was just a bit worried if I will be able to use it on a site I created using the current page builder you know :-)

aman204

jackstall I was just a bit worried if I will be able to use it on a site I created using the current page builder you know :-)

I completely understand and agree with your point as it becomes quite necessary to have potential "Migration feature" so as to ensure that all information, content, settings e.t.c remain preserved which basically amounts to long days of hard work staying intact 🙂

Have already shared the same with JA Dev. Team so that we can ensure the specific feature is duly taken into consideration

Cheers

jackstall

aman204 Excellent! Btw - I don't know where to post bugs and such but there are 3 things not working properly in the current version. Not that you can't live with it - it works well but these are things to be considered for repair ;-)

1) Migration of a whole website to another host... This has been an issue since the day #1 - if you use akeeba (or any other system) it rebuilds OK but all your Custom CSS and color settings are gone. Its usually not a huge deal cause you just copy paste the CSS from the old host but still...
2) It happens very often - you paste some block to a content and suddenly - the page builder says something like session has not been saved and reloads itself. From what I have observed it looks like its related to a new block being placed in content. It doesn't happen later during block editing (usually).
3) can't remember what it was so...probably not that important :-D

Have a good day!
