Finally! Flexi version 3 is here.

It's as simple as always, with the same minimalist design and ultra flexibility.

I integrated a lot of different techniques for this release. The main crux was Joomla's version upgrade. We'll skip the stuff in the middle and called it the move from 1.5 to 2.5.

The differences between the previous versions of the emc23 Flexi templates and v3 are varied. Some are Joomla version 2.5 specific (syntax changes, adopting best practices etc), and some are the result of working with the earlier emc23 flexi versions in my own daily development projects, and experimenting with other templates. I like to consider these to be improvements :)

I won't bore you with the details. I'll be publishing documentation and changelogs for emc23flexiv3 on its demo site. The most interesting part is its application, so over the next few months, as I have the opportunity to develop websites with this template, I'll be better able to assess.

I'm really excited about introducing HTML5 into everything I do. My understanding of HTML5 and Joomla has grown exponentially, due in large part to developing the JiGS game engine with Rob. Joomla is gearing up to its version 3 release and I've been hearing a lot about Twitter Bootstrap from places like the Joomla User eXperience portal forums. It looks like I have plenty to play with.

Joomla tip of the day

When an admin clicks on a content page it gets locked to prevent others from editing it at the same time.

It becomes unlocked once the admin clicks "Cancel" or "Save".

However, if the admin closes the browser or leaves the page some other way, the file will remain locked until the admin in question returns to the content page and clicks "Save " or "Cancel".

Alternatively:

To unlock a page, logon as SuperAdmin and click System --> Global Checkin (at the end of the menu bar) this will unlock any files.
