Joomla

Hot on the heels of the recent release of Joomla! 3.1, we bring to you an exciting Meet Gavern update. This latest version (1.2) contains many new features. The first enhancement is a brand new Layout Manager. This special template block manager enables you to achieve flexible template layouts based upon whether the device is a tablet, mobile and desktop. In short, this new field allows you to customize the layout in every mode and to choose completely different module positions, which was not possible previously.

We are happy to announce the release of the latest version – 3.8/2.15 – of our tremendously useful Gavern Framework. This version includes several fixes for particular templates, but also few new features. Note that all of our templates have been updated to Joomla 2.5.9/3.0.2 and support version 2.6.5 of K2, the latest release available at this time.

Today, we have released the 1.1 version of Meet Gavern – a free Joomla! template.

The Joomla 3.0 content management system was developed to work well on Web servers running LAMP or Windows and IIS. Nevertheless, you may end up with a failed or under-performing Joomla installation due to differences in Linux distributions, Web-server software versions and hardware configurations.

As you know version 3.0 is the next major release of Joomla after the huge success of version 2.5. Joomla 3.0 is just a bridge to 3.5, and support will end 30 days after 3.1 sees the light of day. Because the changes from Joomla 2.5 to 3.0 are large, there is no core upgrade path, this is indeed a migration process. Joomla 2.5 is still the preferred platform for a vast majority of the users – firstly it’s stable and secure version , secondly huge number of the extensions support

Believe it or not, one of the most common complaints were heard with all Joomla was that the article writing(editing) screen was overloaded. There were too many options on the page, so most new users was confusion, and the active actual editor area was small, too small.

Some of the new Joomla! 3.0 features can’t be missed such as the new installation process. It has been completely overhauled for an optimized user experience (UX).

I thought nothing could surprise me on the subject comments functionality for Joomla 2.5 – but I was way wrong! I am pleased to have discovered a wonderful new extension called Komento. It is a product of StackIdeas, the team behind the popular blog component, EasyBlog.

All of us recommend to install the K2 component. This is generally a very good solution, but at the same time it is also a very complex and, for many people, a complicated extension to use.

One of the latest components is AceFTP. This is fast and lightweight file manager component.
