Tempera 1.2.7 wakes up from hibernation

It’s been a long three months of freezing winter (with massive amounts of snow in places), but Tempera is now well rested and ready to return to fighting with the higher forces.

During this first round the fight consists of mostly localization and styling fixes, with a touch of Google fonts, new translations and some IE quirks. The pièce de résistance is, of course…

Nirvana 1.0.4 gets an A in math

Math – the cause of most horrific disasters in history… well not quite, but math is indeed the culprit for Nirvana’s last release’s failing settings page. Fortunately Nirvana 1.0.4 took a quick course in advanced mathematics and learned that the best solution to avoid any issues is to consider negative fractions as equal to zero (if that makes sense).

So here she is, proud to show off her best grade in math – A (or 10, or 5… depending on what region of the world you’re in)

Nirvana 1.0.1 learns to fight

No more mister nice guy (uhm… girl) Nirvana. In this new update she finally learned to fight (against poorly written plugins that load their code all over the dashboard and break key functionality).

But despite posing as a bad girl, Nirvana 1.0.1 also brings a lot of head-relaxing fixes (among which the long awaited Google fonts functionality). For everything else…

Nirvana 0.9.9.9/10/11 finds the right path

Not long after the Tempera quad-pack we’ve got the recipe right and used all that we’ve recently learnt to cook a brand new Nirvana update… or maybe two.

Nirvanas 0.9.9.9, 0.9.9.10 and 0.9.9.11 bring mostly fixes and tweaks, but you’ll learn all about that after the jump.

Tempera 1.2.3/4/5/6 fights the system

No, we haven’t lost our mind; this is not a reverse countdown (a countup?). And we did not release a quadruple-update-in-one either.

This cryptic title deserves a decent explanation and it’s actually simpler than it seems: it appears I was overconfident on the Wordpress review process last time. While they did wonders then and managed to verify and approve two updates in the same day, the sun doesn’t always shine… in fact it got terribly dark after that. Worse still… the sun changed.

Never mess with mantra they say (or was it nirvana…)

Cryout Medussa quick update

CR2 Medussa for OpenCart war renamed to Cryout Medussa and received a cosmetic update improving the overall look of products, lists and prices and two new configurable options:
– Products Per Row – defines the number of products to be displayed per row on product list pages (variable on the presence or absence of sidebars)
– Footer About column – adds a separate entirely editable “About” text section in the footer (with support for 30 social icons)

Windows Phone support pitch-in campaign

You may have noticed the appearance of a little blue box on the right side of our website. It’s not there just because we love blue, but because we need a bit of help (being blue).

Developing web-related creations is hard work enough. Developing free creations… that’s turning more and more into a spiritual path. But when we also need to test our creations, that’s where matters complicate.

In today’s world with thousands upon thousands of devices, each with its own software, testing things just gets more difficult. While an emulator is good enough in some cases, it does not cover everything. We need an actual device running Windows Phone to truly test things out. We need the real deal…
