Elegance 1.3.11 and Flat 1.0.15 templates have been released

Wednesday, 16 October 2013 00:00

All Elegance and Flat Mobile Joomla! template users ahoy! We have just released new versions, Elegance 1.3.11 and Flat 1.0.15. As usual, updates fix some minor bugs and improve existing features.

First of all, good news for Elegance template users: we have installed our modification of jQueryMobile's ThemeRoller at www.mobilejoomla.com/themeroller/. It fixes issue with retina icons in "Default icon: Black" mode (known issue of original ThemeRoller that is not fixed yet) and provides better CSS compression (by 10-15%).

In these releases we also added the support of iOS7 icons, so that you can set up different iOS6 and iOS7 icons if you like.

We also fixed processing of "Standard" icon to support the so-called "one-icon" technique: use "Standard" icon in high resolution (e.g. 1024x1024px) for all devices and remove all other device-specific icons.

Other changes are listed below:

• Fixed an issue with uploading icons
• Switched to original jQM's header handling
• Fixed the conflict of panel and fixed header bar in tablet mode
• Renamed class '.container' to '.jcomponent' to fix a conflict with bootstrap styles; update your custom styles if it is necessary
• Updated Add to Homescreen script to v2.0.11
• Updated FastClick script to v0.6.11

Mobile Joomla! templates Elegance 1.3.6 and Flat 1.0.10 have been released

Sunday, 01 September 2013 00:00

We have released new versions of our templates: Flat Mobile Joomla! template 1.0.10 and Elegance Mobile Joomla! template 1.3.6. There are a lot of changes and improvements, in particular:

1. Support of FitVids script for responsive videos. Previous versions of Elegance and Flat rescaled videos (to fit screen width) using css rules that sometimes led to incorrect aspect ratio. FitVids does some magic to keep aspect ratio. Note that FitVids is disabled by default (for backward compatibility and to reduce total page size).
2. Support of Lazy Images Loading. This technique allows to load images that are visible on the screen only, and other images will be loaded on demand when user scrolls to them.
3. Support of different CDN providers for loading of jQuery/jQueryMobile: jquery.com, aspnetcdn.com, jsdelivr.com, cdnjs.com, yandex.ru. Detailed comparison will be published later, but you can choose one that's fastest for your site/location.
4. All template's javascript files were reminified (recompressed) using Google's Closure Compiler (some files have been reduced by up to 50%).
5. Update to add2home library (added support of iOS7).
6. Other minor fixes.

All these changes make our premium templates Flat and Elegance even faster and more responsive than before. We hope you enjoy this release!

Should you find any issues in our templates, or have a feature request, please post it on Premium Support Forum.

Elegance 1.3.2 and Flat 1.0.6 have been released

Tuesday, 30 July 2013 13:19

We have just released new versions of our premium Mobile Joomla! templates Elegance 1.3.2 and Flat 1.0.6.

The new versions include:

• Updates of two underlying libraries: jQueryMobile 1.3.2 and FastClick 0.6.9,
• Fixes to several issues:
  • Fix for asset combining
  • Fixed sh404sef compatibility
  • Fixed styles of fixed mode for header and footer
  • Removed duplicated css code
  • Hid empty message area (J!3.x)
  • Fixed color picker styles in backend (J!3.x)
• Two new features:
  • “Enable Zoom” to allow users to scale your website with pinch gesture,
  • “Enable Enhance Management” to have a way to disable jQueryMobile enhancement for specified extensions.

The latter new feature allows you fix possible compatibility issues between jQueryMobile framework and 3rd party extensions that may use their own themes (e.g. JomSocial). You can disable the enhancing of specific components directly from Elegance/Flat template’s settings (in the Advanced section). As to modules, you can disallow enhancing by set “noenhance” in Module Class Suffix field in module’s settings. Note that “Enable Enhance Management” is disabled by default, as it may lead to slowdowns in page loading.
