Upgrade instructions

  1. Backup first: Create a full site backup (files + database) before making changes.
  2. Update Joomla & PHP: Ensure your environment is running Joomla 6 and PHP 8.3 (or upgrade in a staging site first).
  3. Install JomSocial 5.0.0: Download the package and install it via Joomla Extension Manager.
  4. Update themes/templates: If you use JomSocial themes or templates, download the Joomla 6 compatible versions and apply them as needed.

Tip: If your site includes heavy customizations or template overrides, we recommend testing in a staging environment first to ensure a seamless transition.

All new JM Basetheme - Magento extension with more responsive features
Magento Themes

Update: We've developed a new basetheme from the ground up for Magento 2. Check it out in the live demo of UB MegaMall theme here

Magento extension JM Basetheme is our ambition to deliver one of the best tools for Magento geeks to customize our Magento themes.

For just a little look back, there was a time we got stuck with default colors like Black, White, Blue, Red and so on. You wished for a touch out-of-default? Our Magento team did offer a CSS file in which you could modify the codes yourself, provided that you had time to kill and experience about CSS.

It was not convenient at all, so it came the launch of JM Basetheme - a powerful tool in which you could personalize sites with our Magento themes at ease. Here comes livelier shades of colors - Emerald, Maroon, Ghostwhite, Turquoise, LavenderBlush, whatever in just some clicks!

Introducing JM Basetheme - Your new Magento color customizer for your responsive Magento theme
Magento Themes

Update: We've developed a new basetheme from the ground up for Magento 2. Check it out in the live demo of Crafts theme here

Everyone is different when it comes down to color choices. Some love red, and some just happen to hate it. For the last few years, we have designed theme and picked out all the “popular” colors in the family such as yellow, red, orange, blue, green, purple and pink for our beloved Magento geeks, hoping to cover the color preferences of everyone out there. But, does it cover all? No, even each color has its own shades.
