The newest version of our News Show Pro GK5 module, the most advanced content-display module available for Joomla, has been released and includes a host of great improvements and fixes.

Version 1.4.0 also introduces several new features, created based on feedback from our users; you can see these new features in action in our latest template for information portals, News 2.

Because of recent updates to both Woocommerce and BuddyPress, we have released an update to all of our themes that use the aforementioned plugins.

We’re proud to announce that three of our most popular Joomla! templates; (M) Social, Music State and Game, have been updated to include support for EasyBlog from StackIdeas; now your options for content publishing have grown even wider!

So, as always, grab a cup of your favorite brew, and let’s delve into the wonderful world of Joomla! templates and see what there is to find.

Our Game Joomla! template has hit the shelves, as it were, and it’s designed to help you spread information about your chosen subject whilst looking rather classy at the same time.

Version 3.8.1 of WordPress was released last week; it’s a maintenance release which corrects 31 bugs from earlier versions.

Web development is an ever-evolving industry; there are always new technologies and methods being introduced that increase efficiency and/or users’ enjoyment of a website. In order for us to remain at the forefront of these new technologies we have decided to abandon support for Internet Explorer 8 from the release of our February 2014 template.

With the New Year celebrations fading away, now is the time to take stock and reflect on the achievements and challenges of the past year before triumphantly marching forward into the brave new world of 2014.

Recently with our (M)Social theme we released a new Gavick widget – GK Grid. This widget is very flexible and powerful, so I think it will likely be used often in our other themes (it has already been used in our MusicState theme).

Joomla! modules are equivalents to WordPress widgets – generally speaking, these are extensions which are responsible for generating a fragment of the subpage according to the user’s needs and the extension’s functionality.
