Possible for longtime licenseholders to get a sneak peek?

[tydust]

I was wondering... for those of us who don't need the sample templates, nor the training videos (even though there are new features I'm the type to dive in and play rather than watch a video) ...

If the actual kit extension is working, is there any way I can get a crack at it? I'm doing 2 to 3 templates a week... and it would really, really improve my productivity.

Right now I'm using the 1.0.x kit to create, then manually converting to 1.5 code. Not ideal, but it gets the job done.

I'm so very, very anxious to get my hands on this kit. I'd even pay a premium to do it.

Hi guys I just can't put anything out then it takes more time emailing back questions and forum post then working on the extension.

Anywho I'm going to up out a beta next Friday a week from today.
We will see what you guys think the pros that is we also have a good number newbies.

Cheers,
Brian

P.S. Have so Private Family stuff to handle this weekend so if email
you will not get anything back till Monday or Tuesday.
have a great weekend.

Ahhhhh see now that's good news! Have a wonderful weekend, and I don't have to keep checking this forum 3 or 4 times a day to find out about the progress, hehehe.

Although I'm sure I'll check in Wednesday just in case

Thank you, Brian.

I just wanted to say, as I sit here refreshing and waiting impatiently, that I am incredibly pleased with the beta release coming so quickly after Joomla 1.5 stable.

I know I'm impatient, but that's because I really find that making templates without the extension is tedious and absolutely ruins my productivity. Even minor changes are so much easier with the kit, and this extension is absolutely vital to my business.

Thank you, Brian!

Hi Tydust the extension will be posted today.

I'm in truth beat and I'm trying to put together an quick setup Doc's.
There are so many topics to cover user level setup old to new templates etc.. That my brain is like stopped Lol.

I have tested the extension on DW 8 and DW CS3 on MAC and PC.
and you should on your way today. I'm even will to post the just extension if I don't have the juice to write out help files today.

I know you guys have been waiting it will happen you will have a new tool to play with this weekend.

Truly yours,
Brian

Hi Brian,

Any word as to what time today the release will be? I loved your extention jtkse 2.1 and can't wait to see the new added features! I assume the new extention will be able to still make templates compatible with Joomla! 1.0.x?

Thanks and good work!

Mat use 2.1 for J 1.1.X templates JTK 3.0 for J 1.5.X.

Did I say cheers,

[tydust]

I have lots of questions about some of the more advanced features (is this possible, is that customizable, that sort of thing), but we'll save them for another day.

[admin]

No problem Tydust email me them I respond when I get a change.
I had to take run if not I go crazy after a ton of hours on the CPU.

J 1.5 is full of things you can do thats why its hard to just write the
extension not paint myself into a conner. So by time I got the Help files I'm beat.

Param.ini stuff will be in 3.1 the editor is tricky with DW I'm not sure if work right off the bat because your working with three files at one time.

index.php<- simple
templateDetails.xml <-- its like making forms in HTML but in XML so its a little trick with DW I have something worked out but need to find a few other cues to pull it off.
params.ini<- some what simple.

I many have make a some type of snippet if get to nuts.
But I'll give it a good try after the Doc's and Video is out.

Cheers,
Brian
Taking a break I'll back Monday or faster.
