Dev Update #4

In last few days, we have updated our templates based on Gavern Framework to 2.5.1 version. We have fixed few bugs in our templates and improved browser detection for Android 3.0 devices.

Below, you can find a full list of changes :

• New system.gkExtCache Plugin available in rest_files packages and quickstart versions which replaces default Joomla! cache plugin and fixes problems with caching mobile and desktop views
• Added columns width styling position. Now, you can choose whether the styles are generated inline or in a head section
• Added support for oAuth 2.0 protocol in Facebook social plugins
• Fix for language support in facebook part of social API
• Improvements in browser detection, devices with Android 3.0 on-board loads desktop template view
• K2 Update (v.2.5.4)
• Styling fixes for invalid class in from layout and tip messages
• Fix for ie9.css stylesheet loading
• Improvements in article/category/blog views – now, Notice information are cleared

The most important changes were implemented in our system.gkExtCache plugin which is a replacement for default Joomla! one. Now, to avoid problems with cache in GavickPro templates, you need to use gkExtCache and GKCache plugin (available is rest_files packages). gkExtCache detects the browser version and creates separate cache instances for android, iphone, handheld and desktop layouts. Also, users who have problems with columns width when the Joomla! cache was enabled should consider to use Columns width position option (option: style tags) which is available in template settings in “Advanced Settings” tab. Now, you can select between generating columns width code in head part of your site on in style tags in HTML containers

Secondly, we update our facebook authenticate plugin and template social API part to oAuth 2.0 protocol which will be default for Facebook API after 13th December. For more information about changes, please look at Facebook Developer Blog. Following Facebook Developer announcements after 13th December "old, previous versions of our SDKs will stop working", so update template is the only way to avoid problems with Facebook register and Like buttons.

We have also updated K2 component to latest 2.5.4 version in our quickstart pacakges.

Plg_gkcache, plg.system.gkExtCache and plg.authenticate.facebook plugins are available in rest_files package on the template download page.
