What to expect in YJSG 1.0.14
As we advised in our latest post about Joomla 3.0 , YJSG is getting big makeover and new features that will pave the road to YJSG 2.0 stable release which is currently version RC1( not available for download ).
We are taking advantage of this upgrade to incorporate all the changes that are in Joomla 3.0 and slowly make transition to YJSG 2.0 where we will move the framework to a Joomla system plugin thus making version updates easier.
Beside the Joomla 3.0 compatibility this is what you can expect from YJSG 1.0.14:
- Same template installation file can be used for Joomla 3.0 and Joomla 2.5
- Twitter Bootstrap compatibility for Joomla 3.0 and 2.5 ( J25 requires JBootstrap ).
- Backwards compatibility when Jbootstrap plugin is not used.
- Additional menu type option to switch built in top menu to a module position.
- Beside YJSG default 5 menu systems, we included Bootstrap navigations menus, navbar and nav pill.
- YJCompress CSS/JS files compression system plugin for Joomla 30/25
- HTML5 compatible.
- HTML5 Video.js built in with support for Youtube and Vimeo.
- FontAwesome font featuring 220 CSS font icons are included.
- HTML5 shiv, respond.js, selectivizr.js, CSS3 PIE added for IE8 support.
- Extended typography that also includes all Bootstrap components and typography.
- Live logo editing within template admin.
- Font increase/decrease frontend option changed to Javascript based rather than php version
- Added .yjscroll Mootools Fx.SmoothScroll class that can be used on any element tag to scroll to.
- LESS compiler built in with extended version to compile your CSS files as well.
- Asynchronously (in the background) admin form submission via built in Ajax feature.
- New YouGrids blue stylesheet with simple CSS coding practice.
- Squirrel Font-Family parameter for Font Squirrel @font-face kits.
- Responsive layout for a wide range of devices (from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones).
- Custom.css file no longer delivered with install . It will be created if none exists.
- All Mobile browser discovery with Mobile Detect php class.
- Small CSS and language fixes.
As you can see we have our hands full with 1.0.14 and all these changes will also be applied to existing Joomla 2.5 templates/demos. YJSG 1.0.14 and our new template of the month should be released by
10-25-2012 10-31-2012 unless we encounter some unexpected changes which we will advise on time.
Please understand that we rather delay the release than give you untested beta versions.
We do understand that you would like to see what is coming so here are few YJSG 1.0.14 snapshots:
