What is the timeframe for a Joomla! 1.6.0 compatible version of the JA Norite template?

How complicated would it be to do this myself? I know this template has lots of additional files to handle layout blocks.

The Joomla.org Template Upgrade wiki tutorial page on this topic only says to revise the templateDetails.xml page.

Could it really be this simple?

I have a feeling that the tutorial page is incomplete.

Please advise as to how to upgrade the template, and/or your estimated timeframe for the official 1.6.0 package of JA Norite.

Thanks,
railer

Some templates are already done, some are being tested. We will see the first released very soon and I expect all the T3V2 ones to be completed first as these require a lot less work to update.

As for a timescale all I can say is soon, issues may be run into that necessitate more work than expected.

If you want to give upgrading it yourself a go then you are of course welcome but it is probably wasted effort as you will not be waiting too long anyway. It will also give you time to get to know Joomla 1.6.x and for extension developer to upgrade many more of their extensions.

Thanks Phill,

Do you happen to know if JA Norite is one of the templates that have been upgraded to 1.6.x?

As I said, all the T3V2 ones (which Norite is one) will be the first out but I cannot say when. Very soon is all I have been told.
