Update to Joomla 4 urgent
- Edited
Hi madhouse
Joomla 3 ends of support on August 17, 2023: https://developer.joomla.org/roadmap.html
Also, our team are working on this update, Shape5's products are pretty old and there are lots of changes in J4 so it will take time, kindly wait.
So I am clear on updates;
Shape 5 templates will be updated so they will be compatible with php 8X? Is there a time line?
Also, Shape 5 templates are or will be updated to Joomla! 4.X versions? Is there a timeline?
Thank you,
We have plan to update to Joomla 4 but it's not ready yet.
But we will release new version to support PHP 8 first, could you tell me which Shape5 template you're using so I can ask team to put it in priority?
I am very glad that there is a chance to run the templates under joomla 4. Best templates I've ever worked with. Hope the free stuff will be available too.
Been patiently waiting for J4/Php8 update for Vertex Framework and Template for better than a year now. Any chance this is going to happen?
PC-Medic Hi
The work on S5 templates J4 updates were unfortunately delayed due to our other projects. Currently our team aims to release the new updates toward the end of this year.
I'll ask here - will the CampusLife template also be available for J4?
kookon Hi,
Campus Life is on our list of planned updates to J4.
This is becoming more important now than ever to get the Shape5 templates updated.
I currently have 8 clients using Shape5 templates and Vertex framework, based on the replies from your company and lack of follow through it worries me. I have paid for subscription for several years now, seems like your focus is only on JoomArt and not the other sites you purchased.
Would love to be proven wrong.
matthewpet Hi,
Shape 5 updates are planned to be released by the end of the year.
We understand your concern and we'd really appreciate your patience in this case.
Need the status for:
Out Door Life,
Big Business
Store Pro
Thank you
Jim
Hi Jim,
There is no template compatible with J4 as of now, we will update here when having news.
Are those on the list to update? I have 6 sites over the years that use them.
Yes, they are.
You can see the list here: https://www.joomlart.com/joomla4-status/index.php?group=shape5
There is only a couple of days to go before PHP 7.4 is fully out of support and PHP 8.0 is security fixes only.
My ISP is going to force my sites onto PHP 8.1 very soon.
Can someone please advise me when a PHP 8.1 version of the generic s5_vertex template will be available?
Thanks.
