Goggles for Projectfork 2.2 Released
Written by Kyle Ledbetter Comments
Goggles is all new for Projectfork 2.2 and more Google inspired than ever! Goggles has been totally rebuilt and revamped for Projectfork 2.2.
If you loved the previous version for its Gmail similarities you'll be in heaven with this version. Goggles provides an almost seamless user experience transition when jumping back and forth from Gmail to Projectfork.

The Projectfork team is proud to announce the availability of Projectfork 2.2 Beta 2 (download). This Beta release is intended for evaluation purposes and not ready for production (live) environments.
It's been exactly 1 month since the 1st Beta release and we've squashed tons of bugs and added lots of functionality. We'll continue to work around the clock to get Projectfork 2.2 ready for production.
New Version of Project Theme Coming for 2.2

Yesterday we presented the design for the upcoming update for Goggles in Projectfork 2.2. Today we continue with the design for an updated version of our Project premium theme.
Just as we're pushing the Goggles theme closer to it's source of inspiration, we're pushing Project closer to MobileMe. Interestingly GMail and MobileMe share many interface similarities, but the differences are significant, providing a very different user experience.
New Version of Goggles Theme Coming for 2.2

With progress on Projectfork 2.2 stable quickly...progressing, it's time to update our Premium Projectfork Themes. If you're wondering, the 2.1 version of those themes won't be compatible for 2.2. Don't worry though, much experience has been gained since those themes have received an overhaul.
First up is the Goggles theme. The Goggles theme has always paid homage to Google apps such as Gmail and Google Docs (that's where the name Goggles came from). Besides colors though, the theme didn't truly feel like a Google app. Goggles also doesn't look at ton different from the Project theme, so I felt that it was really time to make these themes truly unique.

The beta is finally here! Projectfork 2.2 is a major update to every aspect of our Free/GPL Joomla project management software.
In this new version, we've touched every bit of code with the goal of making things easier and more efficient on every level. A new cache system has been added, the theme engine has been refactored, extension development is easier than ever, convenient features have been created, and an entirely new user interface has been developed.
New Default Theme Coming for Projectfork 2.2
Written by Kyle Ledbetter Comments
While Tobias has been working on the infrastructure updates for Projectfork 2.2, I've jumped in on a total revamp of the Default theme. This means I've thrown out the entire Default theme from 2.1 (just like we did moving from 2.0 to 2.1). As always, we've learned much from the preview versions and our premium themes, and we're moving that knowledge into the core.
The last update for the 2.1 series was about 2 months ago and while I am busy with the 2.2 development, I still care for 2.1...no worries. But I've squeezed out pretty much every bug I can imagine. So here is another release with the few bugs I've found and fixed:
- Fixed: Project invitation links no longer direct to the backend
- Fixed: When deleting a project, Projectfork now properly deletes custom access levels and task attachment references
- Fixed: When deleting a task, task attachment references are now also deleted
It's about time to bring out some news regarding the Projectfork 2.2 development, isn't it? Well, I've launched the alpha phase yesterday and I'm trying to release updates every day (just had a second release a few minutes ago).
A new version of Projectfork is now available with the following changes:
- Fixed task and milestone ordering bug (caused by version 2.1.7)
- Fixed task list pagination bug
- Added missing process event for archiving projects task
The update procedure is as always. And I think (or hope) that this was it for the 2.1.x series in terms of bugfixes. Should you encounter any more bugs after this release I'll fix them of course. On a side note: I have an update for the community builder and the JomSocial integration in the pipeline as well as the first alpha release of Projectfork 2.2. So make sure to check the website for news starting next week :)
A few weeks ago I was hoping to bring you a first test release of the new Projectfork 2.2 version. Unfortunately, the development didn't go as fast as I believed it would. And I don't want to rush it and release something I don't feel comfortable with. So you'll have to be a bit more patient :) Until then I want to introduce the main changes done in 2.2. In this first post I want to talk about the updated Projectfork framework.
