Pre sales and technicals questions

Hello,
I am currently using Joomla 3 under PHP 7.3 and soon PHP 7.4 (will follow PHP 8)
I will soon (when?) switch to Joomla 4 and really appreciate the compatibility of Joomlart with Joomla 4.

I have currently used, for many years, the Yootheme Warp 7 templates but which are reaching the end of their life (PHP 7.4) and I do not want to switch to Yootheme pro because this system seems too captive to me (impossible to easily change the supplier of templates). I also use Yootheme's Widgetkit layout and photo gallery tools.
I am definitely considering switching to Joomlart templates. I am looking for a provider of templates that last over time and that is reliable.
I did some initial tests with Jstark. So I all have a series of questions to ask you:

1/ Do you know if the Joomlart templates are compatible with Widketkit3? Have you tested this configuration online? Examples ?

2 / Does the Pro plus formula include all templates + all paid extensions? If not, is there a Templates + Extensions formula?

3 / I see that the CSS buttons available in JA Coach work with Jstark T4 (badge rounded-pill bg-primary and btn btn-primary)? Is there a documentation that lists all the layout and typography possibilities for T4 templates like here for Yootheme Uikit https://getuikit.com/v2/docs/core.html
It seems to me that all the features are not visible in each template (typography page) for example no buttons here https://ja-educatsy.demo.joomlart.com/index.php/pages/joomla-content/typography

4 / Is there a directory or forum section that shows customer sites made with Joomlart?

5 / Where is Joomlart based? In the USA if I understood correctly?

Thanks

john83 Hi

1/ Our templates work the same as other Joomla template so if widgetkit 3 works well with default Joomla template, it will work with JoomlArts' template also.

2/ Pro Plus membership gives you access to a combination of two Pro packages. You should be able to download all templates & their complimentary extensions with this membership.
There are few JoomlArt exclusive extensions that are not available in Pro package. If you want to download all extensions then you can get the JAEC membership.
More info at our pricing page HERE (please click the Extensions tab for JAEC membership).

3/ JA Coach is built with T4 framework which uses Bootstrap 5, to learn more about layout / element / typography / etc... you can check out this docs: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/getting-started/introduction/

4/ Currently we do not have a showcase section yet.
5/ We have offices in several locations. Currently our main office is in Hanoi.

Hi Nic,
Thanks for your answers very usefull !
Your link in directionj of https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/getting-started/introduction/ is also very useful . Ididn't expect that T4 (a framework) use a kind of "mother Framework" Bootstrap. If I understand correctly the link bettween T4 and Bootstrap...
Another question : I can see in the Joomla backend templates the name of the actually used layout. But is there a graph/picture with all the available layout on each templates.
Something like this one that I used on Yootheme

It should help to visualise the possibility of the existing Layout on your template to buid and concept a website.
Thanks

Hi john83

Layout in T4 based temlates is more flexible, you can easily add new section / change position of section / etc... in Layout Settings of template:

If you want to see the position of layout, simply go to Layout Settings as above screenshot. All sections/positions are being used will show there, you can also enable the Layout Position Preview to see it live on the right.

Hello Saguaros
Thank you for that answer. Yes I had seen the option to display existing layouts.
I read this https://www.joomlart.com/documentation/t4-framework/layout-builder
I still have a little trouble with Layout management and made some try before a subscription.
Any other tuto or video about layout on T4 ?
Thanks
