As per our plans detailed a few months ago we’ve started Joomla! 3.3 integration with our templates. Yesterday we released an update for our latest 12 templates to make them compatible with Joomla 3.3. We’ve started adding support from our most recent templates, so apart from Storefront which was released with Joomla! 3.3 support already included, the following 12 templates are ready to go:
- John S
- News 2
- Mo
- Game
- inStyle
- Music State
- CloudHost
- (M) Social
- Shop & Buy
- Bluap
- Creativity
- RockWall
A full list of amended files may be found in our Update Section. The main changes made override Joomla’s core views like com_content or com_contact to take advantage of the added Microdata implementation. If you don’t know how to use this new Joomla 3.3 feature please have a look at our article which explains why it is a really important feature for Search Engine Optimization.
JomSocial 3.2
With this Joomla update we’ve also prepared an update for JomSocial. Two of our templates, namely Music State and (M) Social are now compatible with the latest version of JomSocial, 3.2. You may notice some small layout differences related to changes in the core JomSocial files but we’ve provided additional styling to fit these elements into the template design. JomSocial packages are also available for the Joomla! 2.5 versions of these templates.
What’s next?
As we wrote in our earlier magazine article regarding our Joomla! 3.3 plans we will update our next 12 templates in the coming month; then all our supported products will be compatible with the latest Joomla! release. Today, we will also update our extensions designed for Joomla 3.x with compatibility fixes for Joomla 3.3 and older releases too, though only in the back-end styles.
