Our best joomla 4 templates were released: a4joomla-best, a4joomla-dark, and their free versions
Written by AdministratorThe best joomla 4 templates of ours were released today, you can download or purchase them from the links below:
If you bought the joomla 3 version of one of the two pro templates, then just log in, and click on YOUR ORDERS, then Action/Details, and in the Files column you should be able to download the new joomla 4 templates: a4joomla-best4.zip or a4joomla-dark4.zip .
Migration from joomla 3 to joomla 4
First read the official instructions of this mini migration by clicking here. Then, let's say you used the a4joomla-best joomla 3 template. These are my template related instructions if you don't want to lose your template parameter settings, and template modifications:
- You have joomla 3.x, now backup your site e.g. with Akeeba Backup
- Save the old template, especially your user.css if you have one in the css folder
- Update joomla to joomla 3.10, clear the cache if you have, and test the site in incognito mode of your browser
- Update the extensions, and test the site again
- Set Protostar to the default template
- Update joomla 3 to joomla 4, and test the site, now you should see the Cassiopeia template.
- Remove the a4joomla-best folder in an FTP client, or delete the folders and files of the template from the admin area if possible. Thus we keep the old template settings in the database, and we remove just the old template files and folders.
- Install a4joomla-best4.zip! Now you will have two template styles with the same name: a4joomla-best. Try to set them to default, and test the site to see, which one contains your old template parameter settings. Keep that one, and you can delete the other template style.
- Update other extensions, test the site, etc.
Some CSS classes should be replaced if you hide some of your modules on mobile with css classes in the "Module class suffix". You can find the new css classes for hiding modules here. You can hide modules on different display sizes: xs=extra small, sm=small, md=middle, lg=large, xl=extra large, xxl=the largest.
Joomla 4 was released today, but don't update joomla yet!
Written by AdministratorJoomla 4 was released today, but I don't suggest to update joomla, because our templates and other 3rd party extensions are not yet compatible with joomla 4. Joomla 3 is officially supported for two more years, so we have time to update it...

Joomla 3.9 was released, and our joomla 3.x templates seem to work well on joomla 3.9, but backup your site for safety before updating joomla, other 3rd party extensions can cause problems!
After updating to joomla 3.8.8 you may get the following error:
Using $this when not in object context
It is probably caused by the Random image module, so I suggest to unpublish it, or replace it by something else!
Yesterday joomla 3.8 was released. The joomla 3.x templates seem to work well on joomla 3.8, but backup your site for safety before updating joomla!
Yesterday joomla 3.7 was released. The old joomla 3.x templates seem to work well on joomla 3.7, but they will be updated during the next few days, so the new functions of joomla 3.7 will work well with the updated templates.
Update: the joomla 3.x templates are updated for joomla 3.7!
There was a new securitiy release of joomla: it's version 3.6.4, I suggest to update it.
All of our templates with name endings 3R or 3R-free are updated to joomla 3.6.4.
If you updated joomla and experienced a fatal error, it may be caused by an old version of Ari image slider, so you need to download the newest version of Ari image slider and install it. After this installation your site will probably work without problems.
Template update
To update your template, first you have to save your old template (with your modifications), then install the new version, and the old template will be overwritten. Then you have to apply your modifications again. (The best is if you have all your css modifications in the css/user.css file)
All of our templates with name endings 3R or 3R-free are updated to joomla 3.6.
If you upgraded joomla and experienced a fatal error, it may be caused by an old version of Ari image slider, so you need to download the newest version of Ari image slider and install it. After this installation your site will probably work without problems.

Yesterday joomla 3.5 was released, but after the upgrade I experienced a Fatal Error:
Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in libraries/joomla/filter/input.php on line 233
If you already upgraded joomla and experienced this fatal error, it may be caused by an old version of Ari image slider, so you need to download the newest version of Ari image slider and install it. After this installation your site will probably work without problems.
Template update
The old version of our joomla 3.x templates can work on joomla 3.5 without any problem, but the templates have new updates that you can install. The updated files are the following: index.php, templateDetails.xml and the content of the html folder (overrides). The only new feature is that you can put your css modifications into the css/user.css file that you have to create if you need it. To update your template, first you have to save your old template (with your modifications), then install the new version, and the old template will be overwritten. Then you have to apply your modifications again, e.g. put your css code into the css/user.css file.

Joomla 3.4 was released a few days ago, and by now all joomla 3.x templates were updated to work well on joomla 3.4. (One exception: the Countryside template should be replaced by Countryside3R.) When updating joomla to version 3.4, I experienced a bug: the Bootstrap size of the module with the largest ID is modified by the update process. So I suggest to check that module, and modify the Bootstrap size of it to its original value (0, or your original choice). This can be done in the module manager, in the advanced settings of that module.
After updating joomla to version 3.4, you can install the joomla 3.4 template, but it overwrites your old template files. So if you modified the old template's code, then save your modifications first!
The joomla 2.5 templates don't work on joomla 3-3.4!
