Its been 2 and half month we are not releasing any template, so this questions naturally come to your mind 'What the heck you are doing guys ? ', 'Do you have any plan to continue ?'. We admire your all question and want to answer one by one with some good news!
We had some management issue and lack of resource although we involved to develop our next generation template framework for Joomla! called Expose. Good news is we manage to solve all issue and gathered the resources for 2012!, can't believe? keep reading the post...
Today we want to introduce completely revamped brand new layout system which will give you a new experience on controlling the template layout.
Like previous version Expose v3 also comes with 3 layout system but with visual layout selector and 2 flavours.Fixed/Fluid you can select any of them for all this 3 layouts. You can set the template width and sidebars width by its sliders.
We started this week with a closer look at the overall Expose framework structure. Today we want to introduce a new feature called "Styles".
Presets are variations of the default theme which gives you full flexibility to override your default theme with few lines of CSS codes. Each preset has its own CSS file and image folder followed by its name. If you want to create your own style you just need to create a CSS file in css/ folder with your desired name like ‘black.css’ and add this name to templateDetails.xml style declaration block <option value="black">Black Edition</option> You’ll see this name comes into preset styles drop-down.
Surprise! we are very proud to announce our next generation theme framework, Expose! Over the last couple of month we work hard on it and put our best effort to make a next generation theme framework. After releasing 1st version of Expose framework on April 2011 and we moved ourself to make it robust, powerful and dynamic theme framework for end-user and developers. Often people think that framework contain a lot of over bloated code and unnecessary features which slow down there site. Expose is quite opposite of that, because it based on our couple of years experience and it uses most of the best practices of web development. Its not re-inventing the wheel! it just a great toolset to develop and maintain robust themes.
Joomla, one of the most popular Content Management Systems, is releasing its latest version 1.7 on July 10, 2011 and, solely for testing purpose, Joomla 1.7 Alpha 1 has been released on June 6.
ThemeXpert is ready to welcome the upcoming release. The current framework version of ThemeXpert, Expose, has already been tested on Joomla 1.7 Alpha 1 and it worked as expected.
Our May 2011 ThemeXpert template, Vivify, is almost ready. Powered by our very own, super solid framework Expose, Vivify is truly vivid with its mind-blowing color combination, pretty textures, different layouts, strong structure and the brilliant typography styling which is the main focus of this brand new Joomla! theme. As usual, it is both Joomla! 1.5 and 1.6 supportable with cross-browser compatibility. Let’s have a closer look at the features and properties of Vivify.
ThemeXpert is going to rearrange its selling and distribution method. From now on, any single distribution of templates is closed. It is due to some technical facts and inconveniences raised by the single product selling and updating, such a decision has been adapted. It is only be club purchase which should available for the users. It helps to keep things in a decorated manner. Single sale often creates some problems when updating which influence some other problems to rise because single sell and club downloading updates are quite different techniques. Therefore, for better customer service and satisfying update through time to time, club sale is the best solution.
