Joomla 3.4 is now available, new Zap Calendar release too

Details: Created: 25 February 2015 25 February 2015

joomla logo Just announced by the Joomla Team is the release of Joomla 3.4. Also available is Zap Calendar 4.0.20, which addresses some display issues with Joomla 3.4. You should update Zap Calendar to 4.0.20 (if not already) when you update your sites to Joomla 3.4.

Joomla 3.4 has a couple of cool new features. The back-end sidebar menu is now collapsible, allowing more screen real estate to pages like Zap Calendar's event, category and location managers. You can now also edit module settings in the front-end, eliminating the need to switch between front-end and back-end screens when configuring a module.

Also in this release, Joomla has begun the process of removing the standard components from the base release, opting instead to give users the option of installing them after the base install. This will ultimately result in a smaller, faster install for Joomla. This new behavior is for new sites, so don't worry about components disappearing on your existing sites. The first component to be removed from the base install is the web links component. More will follow in future updates.

Zap Calendar 4.0.20 has a couple of cool new features too. The upcoming events module has been enhanced with 9 module styles and new class attributes, allowing for dozens of display variations. There are also multiple event download options for several popular calendar programs. You can read more about these features here.

Zap Calendar 4.0.19 Brings Enhancements And A New Add-On

Details: Created: 02 February 2015 02 February 2015

zapcalendarbox200r With the new year in full swing, we have released Zap Calendar 4.0.19, which contains enhancements and a new add-on (and bug fixes too). Our updates are based on feedback by our users, and we thank you for your continued support and feedback.

We have made some improvements to the event display on the front end. Did you notice the bar underneath the event title was the same color as the category? Not many people did, so we made it a bit bigger and also used a gradiant to blend it into the background. We also color coded the category names, similar to what you see in the back-end event manager. So the typical event display will look like this:

Joomla! Retires Version 2.5 With Final Release

Details: Created: 31 December 2014 31 December 2014

Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind?

Just as in the song, "Auld Lang Syne", our old friend Joomla! 2.5 retired at the end of 2014 with the final release 2.5.28. Our old friend has been replaced with a new friend, Joomla! version 3. Since this is the last expected release for Joomla! 2.5, current 2.5 sites should be migrated as soon as possible to Joomla! 3.x to avoid potential security issues in the future. If you are using Zap Calendar with a Joomla! 2.5 site, read this article on methods on migrating your Zap Calendar data to Joomla! 3.x.

Zap Calendar 4 was developed for Joomla version 3.x exclusively and has been available for over 1 year. Nearly all of the 30+ add-ons that were available in Zap Calendar 3 are available in Zap Calendar 4, including a few new ones. This new version has incorporated many of the new features introduced in Joomla! 3.x, including GUI improvements utilizing jQuery, Bootstrap and icoMoon fonts.

If you need to upgrade Zap Calendar and your subscription has expired, don't worry. You can renew your subscription at the renewal price by logging into your account at ZContent.net and clicking the renew or upgrade buttons on your subscription page.
