Another peak at the CrispAdmin Joomla admin templa...

This is a preview of the login Ive been working on for our upcoming Joomla admin template called Crisp Admin. We are hoping to have it released in the next week or so and while the login screen is pretty minimal I think it pulls in nicely with the overall theme.

You can see more of the admin template over at the Joomla Bamboo Blog.

Price change imminent at Joomla Bamboo

Midway through last month I posted about the change in our pricing structure and the date for the changeover is rapidly approaching. On the 15th January we will be introducing the new pricing structure which will see the introduction of a two tiered system with incentives for renewing members. So if you are a new member and are looking to join the club then joining now is a quick way to save a bit of cash before we hit the new fee structure.

Rolling out Snaphots over at Joomla Bamboo

I just posted a short post on the Joomla Bamboo blog notifying our members of the change to our release packages. The gist of it is that we will be replacing the quickstart packages with JB Snapshots. The snapshots are a much more fluid and less time consuming (in terms of maintenance) way of developing our templates in packages ready for uses to jump start their Joomla site development.

Second Joomla admin template

While Im in the mood for previewing up and coming releases at Joomla Bamboo I’ll give you a sneak peak at the bonus Joomla Bamboo template release that’s scheduled for release sometime in mid January. Following the success of the Simpla Admin template Ive put together a less flamboyant and simpler version of the admin theme. Functionally its not a huge departure from Simpla in terms of features eg left accordion with toggle, version notifier etc but I think the design really beds down a more mature admin interface for Joomla.

Im also in a secret discussion with Steve from Alledia to see if we can put together a free admin theme that will help to address some of the common complaints that are often placed against the Joomla admin UI. Im confident that we can help produce something that is a hackless simplification of the Joomla admin area that will hopefully improve its usability for new users … but more on that later.
