JA Teline III
JomlArt
Site Demo

So I guess everyone is curious how the Teline III looks like. Although I wanted to keep the secret to the last minutes, I feel I will be criticized if I do so. So here is a brief overview about the upcoming Teline III.

I. Screenshot – Default Firefox/Safari/IE layout

II. How does it look in Iphone & Handheld devices (Nokia, Samsung….) ?

- Navigation is simplified with simple HTML
- Content is resized and rearranged but it still keeps the normal arrangement (so that user can find his favorite content as and when he views via his computer)
- Images is resized and optimized (internet connection via mobile is always slower than computer)
- Supports both portrait + landscape view on iphone
- Option to change to Desktop view (normal layout) if one wishes

III. New modules/plugins

1. JA Weather Module

Displayweather information from Google API with many features:

- Auto detect visitor IP & display the weather info of the city he is living. If the IP can not be matched with any city, default location will be displayed

- User can change his location, enter 1, 2 letter of the city name and the auto complete feature will give the city name suggestion <– convenient to make sure the city name is correctly entered

- Allow single or multi location with location chooser, the location is saved via cookies (guest/not logined) and via user database if user is logged in.

- Visual graphical display: easier for user to read weather info at a glance.

- Support Fahrenheit and Celsius display/switcher

- Forecast for the next 4 days

- Extra information supported, depend on module setting, extra information like humidity, wind speed and weather descriptions can be displayed

2. JA Stock Module

-. Support vertical or horizontal display of the stock indices

- Aajax remove/add/update stock indices

- Auto complete for indices search

And a lot of paras to config via the module backend

3. JA Popup Plugins

Support most of the popular Javascript libraries, admin can decide which JavaScript library will be used.

* FancyBox
* GreyBox
* HighSlide
* ShadowBox
* SqueezeBox
* ThickBox
* Multibox

Support many types of content display using above frame work
—- type=”ajax” content=”a.html” display content of a.htmp page via AJAX
—- type=”iframe” content=”http://www.google.com” display google content via IFRAME
—- type=”youtube” content=”youtube_link” display youtube video in popup
—- type=”image” content=”sample.jpg”: display sample.jpg picture in popup
—- type=”slideshow” content=”a1.jpg, a2.jpg” display a1.jpg, a2.jpb picture in popup as slideshow

and many more..

The advantage of this plugin is flexibility in use of JavaScript to avoid conflict with other extensions and improve the site performance. The template only load the chosen JavaScript library.

IV. Release Info
Because of introduction of many new extensions and Teline III being the first template released with the New JA Template Framework, we will roll out the beta & demo for 1 or 2 week and follow it up with the stable release. If everything goes well, you can get the beta before Wednesday (2/9/09). It is 2 days late for the August template but I believe its worth the wait and thank you for your understanding and patience.

JA will be glad to receive feedback on testing & bug reports during the beta phase.
