ZOO 2.4 BETA released

The ZOO is running on Joomla 1.5 and 1.6 now!

ZOO 2.4 BETA released

Today, with a bit of pride, we are happy to announce the release of our ZOO 2.4 BETA. As promised we worked hard the last weeks on making ZOO work with Joomla 1.6. And here it is running on both, Joomla 1.5 and 1.6! In this post will shed some light on the new Joomla 1.6 version and take a closer look at the new features.

Ready for Joomla 1.6

We had already plans to make a major overhaul to ZOOs underlying framework with the 2.4 release to increase its flexibility. So it was the perfect time to take it for a test drive with Joomla 1.6. To achieve compatible with both Joomla versions we added a new abstraction layer between Joomla and the ZOO. This makes it possible to have the same ZOO version running on Joomla 1.5 and 1.6. This means all functionalities of ZOO for Joomla 1.5 are also available in ZOO for Joomla 1.6. We have not yet fully embraced all of Joomla 1.6s new capabilities but this new framework will make it possible to take advantage of e.g. Joomlas ACL in a future update.

Today we are excited to announce that ZOO 2.3 has gone stable! A big thank you to all of our BETA testers! ZOO 2.3 is now available to the public for free. The new release is all about migrating from MooTools to jQuery. But there are lots of bugfixes and other improvements to explore.

ZOO 2.3 does NOT depend on the MTupgrade plugin anymore and you will have less JavaScripts conflicts. We had to exchange the syntax highlighter in the documentation app. Please read here for the new syntax.

Dec

Today we got some exciting news for all the JavaScript junkies out there. We changed the default JavaScript library of our Warp 5.5 based templates and our ZOO extension to jQuery. Yep, you heard right ;-) All our old MooTools based JavaScripts are completely rewritten for jQuery and all Warp based templates and the ZOO make use of it. You may ask why did this happen? Well, here is the story!
