![]() ![]() There were also issues with modules positions not being recognised by Joomla. I could not send the files to clients as they could not easily modify them without using the software. Once the design was done, the code as I recall, was not easy to work with. ![]() I also found that it was extremely difficult to modify files that it created. Trying to find resources to do so where limited.ĭont get me wrong, it is a good tool, easy to use, select click and see your design change, but at the time, there was no way of expanding the library of cliparts, backgrounds etc which was limiting if you wanted to create something that did not look like it had been created by Artiseer. I had loads of PSD that I had created and did not want to spend a bunch of money for someone else to do the fun, magic stuff, i wanted to learn. Now going back about 18 months, I wanted to start to learn how to create Joomla templates. So the time saving evaluation cant really be judged as apples vs apples. The decision to retyle these extensions is then down to the user/designer/developer or in many cases the default style is used. Although K2 has its own templates this is no different to any other major Joomla extension such as JomSocial, Kunena, VirtueMart as none of them would have been styled by Joomla. K2 is expanding the way Joomla content is created and displayed. Let me first start by saying, you cant compare K2 with Artiseer, they are two complety different products.Īrtiseer is used to design and produce Joomla templates. Thanks for bringing that up and I would of course like to explain a little more, bashing is not my style. Please Log in or Create an account to join the conversation. Would you be kind enough to elaborate on some of the problems you discovered with it? Now since I'm comitted to using Artisteer and just starting out with K2, what problems an I likely to face? It would really be helpful to know where Artisteer is going to give me grief and avoid that or find an alternative way to implement.Simon, this is not an invitation for bashing, but I'm sure there are quite a few people out there that could benefit from your experience with Artisteer. Not terribly surprising tho, as tools like that often have shortcomings that require workarounds.However, when it comes down to an either / or decision between Artisteer templates & K2, one must evaluate which tool saves the most time.Although I'm an experienced web developer, I decided the dramatic time savings of Joomla and Artisteer were very appealing over other development methods I've used used before (although JBoss SEAM was a pretty good approach to web RAD, I believe the Joomla PHP platform is much better).Back to Artisteer. ![]() What annoys me is that Joomla! 1.7 has been out for over 6 weeks and these bugs have not been addressed.In this thread /xn/detail/3536014:Topic:55132Simon says mentioning Artisteer makes him cry.That's rather disappointing to hear. These aren’t the only issues I noticed with Joomla! 1.7 – the Movable Type API plugin doesn’t seem to work with it either – it installs, but I am not able to get my blog client to work with it. These two threads discuss IE 8, IE 9, and FireFox 6.0 compatibility problems with Joomla! 1.7: If it is not (1) or (2), then it is probably (3). (4) The Artisteer template is doing something really funky and messing up Joomla! Since I don’t use Artisteer, I can’t even begin to diagnose that. Try a different browser when making the backend changes. At first, I thought this was confined to IE8 and certain Joomla! admin pages, but it appears to also be affecting FireFox 6.0 on different pages. (3) Joomla! 1.7 is having a compatibility problem with your browser, so even though you make changes, they are not happening. (2) The website you are using is not the web site you made the changes to. (1) Forgot to click on Save after setting Preview Module Positions to Enabled The are four things I can imagine – two are trivial and two are harder: ![]() There isn’t really a whole lot to go wrong. ![]()
