Dev update #2

Dev update #2

Today, we have upgraded all templates based on Gavern Framework to 2.0. version. We have implemented a few new important features to all our Joomla! 1.7 templates.

Below, there is a list of features added:

  • All layout CSS rules have been rewritten to use box-sizing property instead of table and table-cell values of the display property. Now, template layout should look much better especially in IE7 where table/table-cell values caused a lot of problems.
  • For Google Fonts we have added a new "Own" option which causes that you can specify your own font link and font name. It is really useful if you need to use specific subset of the font or load only specific letter using text= param in address.
  • All text phrases used in the templates are now based on the same prefix TPL_GK_LANG_
  • Now, it is possible to disable very heavy loading mootools libraries for specific pages (based on ID/option).
  • Fixed detection of the frontpage when multilanguage support is enabled
  • Better detection of mobile browsers
  • Fixed problem with switching between mobile and desktop layout on mobile browsers, especially problems with loading mobile menu on the desktop layout.
  • Upgraded list of the Google Fonts (now, it contains 229 items)
  • Support for new languages in the Twitter button: Dutch, Indonesian, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish.

Because most of the template files were edited, we recommend to overwrite all template files in order to upgrade the template to the latest version.

    Do you support RTL Directions?

  • Alex

    Hello!
    What about RTL direction?
    Is the new Framework 2.0 support Right to left directions of languages such as ARABIC or Persian?

  • Enes

    @Dziudek
    Thank you for your detailed reply. These are good news because we know that you are working on a framework to make it better and to make it perfect even if it will be released lately.

    And we are looking forward to have this framework.
    Thanks...

    The World News II for Joomla 1.5 will be released at end of August.

    @Andrew - yes, you can replace the files via FTP

    @Enes - we've changed our plans for Gavern. We want to add a lot of features for this framework and it is the highest priority (and the list of features is still longer and longer). We need around a one free month to prepare Gavern for release with the blank template, documentation for developers and website for this project. At present we haven't so much time ;) I cannot promise anything but if we'll release Gavern as a standalone product then it will be at start of the next year. Please understand us - we would like to offer the best solution at first for our customers, after it we can work with free products.

    When we can use Gavern Framework ourselves? I mean when you will release Gavern Framework with public?

    Thanks...
