Emerald v6.0.0 is the third template which has been refactored to support Joomla 4 and PHP 8+ (built upon Helix Ultimate framework), it is already available for download for all active subscribers, quickstart packages are also included.
Following Greenery v2.0.0 released last year, Infinity is the next template that got a major refactoring with Joomla 4 and PHP 8+ support, the old Warp framework was replaced by the Helix Ultimate framework. It is already available for download in our Download page for all active BUNDLE/HUB/DEVELOPERS subscribers, including quickstart packages.
The upcoming Hub/iCal/Invoice releases will integrate with Joomla 4 Task Scheduler. For website administrators, it’d make the CRON job setup and maintenance easier. For extension developers, Joomla 4 Task Scheduler provides a good foundation to build CRON functionality.
Welcome 2023, we’d like to celebrate the new year with a new feature highlight: OpenStreetMap (OSM). It will be the default map provider for Solidres (planned for v2.14.0) in addition to Google Maps. OSM configuration is a lot simpler than Google Maps (no need to enable billing to use it like Google Maps). Our plan is to add OSM into the core version first, then we will continue adding it into commercial Solidres extensions.
Dependent on your current installed Joomla 3rd extensions, upgrading from Joomla 3 to Joomla 4 could be a very simple or complicated task. It is a major update, so please plan for it carefully, always make a complete backup of your site first (files + database), and perform the upgrade in a test/staging site before the production site.
For Solidres, it is best to upgrade Solidres and all Solidres extensions (templates/modules/plugins) to the latest versions that were released before Nov 30, 2022. Then upgrade to Joomla 4 and Solidres and all Solidres extensions that were released after Nov 30, 2022.
For other Joomla extensions installed on your site, it is best to consult the developer for more information. You can also disable all of them before upgrading to Joomla 4 to avoid potential incompatibility issues.
