"state-of-the-art business style template" ... not sure what that should be.Virtually yes, in practice NO. You don't seem to think about all the corporate visual/social/identity/profile code and targeted audience of a business/organization not to mention the subtle cultural differences such as the simple choice of color is crucial because it has a positive meaning on this side of the planet, but negative on the other, everything is not as simple as you say!
You can use every template for almost every kind of business.
One of the problem I face is finding a suitable template style (maybe in older RT templates) with the latest functionalities/effects/features (name it how you want) and not just just "updated now compatible with J2.x J3.x"
Henning wrote:My personal interpretation of so called "business templates":100% agree if you look at these old templates. Maybe I should have written "really elegant & stylish" compared to "unlimited creativity art-like templates" where "art" gets all its real meaning: art - you like it or hate it...
Templates that that are so boring that even the worst designed logo can't do harm on them.
Henning wrote:Personally I'm already tired by the wide spread use of flat font awesome-icons and designs.This is your personal point of view I cannot say anything more except how many do not think like you do... Popular can be a negative adjective but not always, if you Henning have a great idea to replace these icons maybe it will become popular...
Henning wrote:Guys, go out and dare to be creative.Following your advise maybe i should only use rt modules and have go with e.g. template creator from joomlack and see what I can do with this tool...
I don't like your remark and find it offending towards all non-professionals like me limited in their creativity because we don't have the knowledge of coding like you have! I did not go to school/university to learn the subject, I only want to find a suitable style with the effects I like for my website, adapt it as much as I can being restricted by my knowledge... and find solutions in the forums from experts like you ...

... well I think we have templates with colorchoosers (for example) that bring great flexibility for users.
Since all templates starting from "reaction" are based on Gantry they all have many features.
Some have more features ... some less.
For "really elegant & stylish" that's something I can understand.
Again my very own point of view: It's easy to get distracted by the crowded frontpage in the demos.
For many templates less content leads to a better "look" of the site.
If you know sites that inspire you just post them on the requests-forum.
The RT-devs are really looking into that forum
Guys, go out and dare to be creative.To elaborate on this a bit more since I think you misunderstood my intention.
Gantry makes it easier than ever to customize templates and layouts without writing a single line of code. Perhaps a little suggestion ... when you work on a template try to get a greyscale only look and that put carefully some colors back into the design. This often opens the door to elegant and great designs based on RT-Templates.
Btw. to understand a bit more what drives RT and to get some insight into the "RT-spirit":

Yes this post will take you to any version of fontawesome you want i.e. the latest.
It works perfectly so no need to hold back. We even installed an alternative set of icons with it too. This upgrade will give you all the added functionality of fontawesome too like 4x sizes and spin.

hey everyone. I wanted to let you know I have completed my addon for Roksprocket. If anyone would like to test for themselves and have this functionality let me know. If there is interest I might try to make it a plugin or something.
The fixed navbar at the top of the K2 page is an addon as well. What it does is let you define a div > position:relative putting the navbar where you want it but when it hits the top of the browser screen it become fixed. This will allow you to put nav bars inside of joomla articles or k2 pages adding awesome functionality and design to your website. on the same page. - Last Edit: 8 years 11 months ago by Kat05.

@ Henning:
Misunderstandings always happen in forums unless you place a corresponding smiley at the end of every sentence or write a full paragraph that would otherwise request a single spoken sentence...thank you for explaining and please excuse my misunderstanding.Henning wrote:...Btw. to understand a bit more what drives RT and to get some insight into the "RT-spirit":Thank you for sharing this link and here are some thoughts after watching the interview:
www.ostraining.com/blog/ostalks/ostalks-episode-8/-
Rokgallery: I want to create a blog section "authoring" only from the front-end. I am hesitating between the core joomla articles and K2 + the newly redesigned commercial SIG-pro. What I do not like at all is to show authors the K2 and SIG-pro banners which I consider unpaid advertisement for them on my site... and really I would like a clean - advertisement free look. Can you have a chat with the devs and ask if we could have something similar to SIG-pro 3 features?
Forum: do you know if the forum migration to Kunena also means a new template section or a kunena template integrated in the upcoming new joomla templates?
Thank you Henning,
Kind regards

I think that is about as clean as you can make a webpage and that my friend is simply K2
Now, I could have easily have done this with joomla articles as well but the control and precision I get with k2 is perfect for me. I can make k2 look like a blog or I can make k2 look like a super sweet clean webpage that does many many different things.
do you have an example of what you want k2 to look like? - Last Edit: 8 years 11 months ago by Kat05.

I have updated the font-awesome tutorial and made it easier but just providing the fa.less file to download and use.
so all you have to do is
download 3.2.1 swap the FA file with mine
replace your font and less folders with all font files for font folder and for the less folder just swap in my FA.less file.
make your custom.less adjustments and custom.css adjustments and you're done.
cheers!!

Me too - I really like the colours and the versatility of the template. It can really be used for any type of site without much work. I think you'll like it
