Hi guys,
Finally, Joomla! 4 stable release plan is scheduled. It will be going to release on 17th of August, view the announcement here. Joomla! 4 is the next Long Term Support (LTS) version. It brings huge upgrade to the CMS, new framework, numerous new features, completely new admin interface and new front-end template.
Last week, we released preview version of T4 Framework for Joomla 4, and today, we are releasing preview version of T3 Framework for Joomla 4.
Yes! we did it right this time. Our Joomla templates (running T3v3 framework) now supports Right to left (RTL) language layouts. If you all remember we were the first to introduce native RTL support in Joomla templates via our T3v2 framework but it was a cumbersome process and hard work to release and maintain them, we eventually had to pause the RTL support, it was a hard decision then. For quite many months we have been working hard for the development and improvement of our T3 framework for Joomla! 2.5 / 3.0. Addition of Right to left layouts was one of the important feature and I am happy to announce that the feature is now available. RTL support in the latest T3 framework now uses the bootstrap RTL and is amazingly simple to use.
About 2 months ago, Anthony from JoomlaBamboo buzzed me on Skype and said “I've just looked at the new version of T3 and I think it is absolutely amazing. I'm considering moving to that as our framework and I just wanted to discuss that with you.”
In the past I have had several similar chats with well known template providers about T3. I had the same discussions with Gavick as well as other ThemeForest developers who wanted to turning to T3 v1 and T3 v2. But this time, it is a bit different. We have reached now a momentum to do something big as a community, something that we, Anthony, me and a few awesome Joomla folks, talked about 8 months ago.

T3 Framework version 2.3.0 has recently released its latest feature: isolate template settings and customization. This feature is one of the most anticipated function that T3 Framework fans are hungry to have.
T3 Framework - a powerful Joomla template framework version 2.0.1 was shipped last week.
What can you expect in T3 Framework version 2.0.1?
Apart from the new features, T3 Framework still embraces its core such as: Layout Configuration, ThemeMagic, Layout Customization, Megamenu Configuration, and more. If you are unfamiliar with T3 Framework, here are the shortcut to learn more about the Framework:

After 4 months of hard work, T3v3 has finally released the stable version for Joomla 2.5 and Joomla 3.0 a few days back accompanied with JAEM (JA Extensions Manager) urgent bug fix in upgrading T3 plugin.
During the last couple of months, we have released a few beta and RC versions of T3 Framework and received numerous feedback from the Joomla community to improve the current Framework to the current level.
As a follow up of my previous blog post "The Future of T3" I want to share with you my thoughts about the following question:
About 2 months ago, Anthony from JoomlaBamboo buzzed me on Skype and said “I've just looked at the new version of T3 and I think it is absolutely amazing. I'm considering moving to that as our framework and I just wanted to discuss that with you.”

With this latest version of T3v3 framework, we have introduced the responsive layout configurations. Simply put, now its possible to plan your responsive layouts (different layouts for mobile, handheld, tablets and so on) very easily. Normal users will find it very handy as it does away with the need of coding at the same time developers can dive deep and customize the layouts, we have made it very simple to understand and update.
We're here with another post on one of the greatest features in T3v3: ThemeMagic. If you guys have installed the latest T3v3 version, you probably already have had the chance to test it.
In short, ThemeMagic lets you customize your JoomlArt T3v3 based Joomla! template without having to search for the right file or without diving into the code, one can manipulate most of the template's CSS properties right from the ThemeMagic backend. Video says it all :
T3v3 Framework Beta 2 was released on last Saturday (Oh yes, we got too excited and worked the extra hours on the weekend). This version is more than just bug fix release, it's an improvement release. We have gone bold and taken this chance to redo the layout configurations, so as to make it easier for you guys in styling your template’s layout.
T3 Framework version 3 is now available at T3 Framework homepage. Head over there to view demo, download and have your hands on all the documentation in this framework.
Since more than one year, I discussed with Joomlart's CEO (Hung) about the necessity to do a native RTL template. Actually, I was unhappy to see all these automaticlly mirrored templates with a global code: "direction: rtl" that send the vertical scroll to the left side of the screen and cause more issues than solutions. Yes, I read from right to left but I use my right hand to scroll pages and I have the same visual logic as readers of Left-to-Right scripts.
Dear members & friends,
Looking to the difficulties faced by our members in upgrading to Joomla 1.7 from current joomla 1.6, we release a quick hotfix for T3 plugin (version 1.3.0 beta). Testing is on full swing and we are committed to release the Joomla 1.7 compatible products (extensions & templates) at an earliest.
Why is the delay?
If you are good at creating templates for Wordpress, Joomla or Drupal, then your skills are in hot demand. Take alone the various freelance places, where many web owners are offering front-end developers tons of projects at attractive rates.
But beyond freelancing you could also start creating templates and sell them online as digital products. Big advantage vs. hard products: Relatively inexpensive production cost.
JoomlArt’s all time greatest template JA Teline III is now upgraded to run on the latest JAT3 Framework, although the design stays the same, the code structure has been totally shifted to the new engine, we decided to give it a new name JA Teline III V2.
This is one of the tasks the team is working on behind the scene right now. Besides the regular monthly template releases, we have started upgrading all templates that are released after August 2009 to the latest version for JAT3 Framework.
Today, I am pleased to announce a new handy feature of JAT3 Framework available from the version 1.1.8. It's an override of a hidden development feature of Joomla's core. The magic happens if you add "?tp=1" at the end of your Joomla site's URL.
JA T3 Framework 2.0 for Joomla! 1.6 has been up and running for the past 2 weeks now. We have silently rolled out the private beta when Joomla! 1.6 is at beta 9, and the release of stable version 1.0.0 have been running smoothly on 1.6 Beta 10.
Today, along with the the release of Beta 11, we decide to announce the official release of our JAT3 framework for Joomla! 1.6.
