We are pleased to announce AdminPraise 3 Stable for Joomla 2.5!  

After releasing AdminPraise 3 Beta, we mainly focused on the admin menu system stability.  We have come a long way to make AdminPraise 3 stable and look forward to updating extensions and revamping the bundle.  Updating AdminPraise 3 from Beta is very simple and now available for use on LIVE Joomla! websites.     

One of the biggest benefits of using AdminPraise is that users have the capability of customizing the admin interface to show most used components.  As we continue making updates to AdminPraise 3 ("AP3"), we would like recap on the new approach of editing and adding components to the left nav.

AdminPraise gives praise and recognition to Daniel Dimitrov for upgrading AdminPraise 3 and various extensions for Joomla 2.5.  Dimitrov created a whole new menu system in AdminPraise 3 that works just like the native Joomla menu system.  Amongst various items, he also recently updated SubmitMailer Pro which sends an email notification to all administrators when content, Weblink, K2, or FLEXIcontent items are changed or edited.  With the help of Dimitrov, we have come a long way in advancing administrative usability and its interface for Joomla users.

We've just released an updated version of our SubmitMailer Pro plugin for Joomla 2.5! If you're unfamiliar, SubmitMailer Pro will fire a notification email when your Joomla 2.5 site users add/edit/delete content.

We tested the latest version w/ 2.5 com_content, FlexiContent, K2 and com_weblinks. We'll be testing w/ DOCman for 2.5 next.

As always you can purchase SubmitMailer Pro individually or grab it in our AdminPraise Bundle with all our other Joomla admin templates & extensions.

Well that took longer than expected. AdminPraise 3, our flagship Joomla administrator template is now ready for Joomla 2.5 and a much lower price!

What started as a simple port from our Joomla 1.7 version of AP3 ended up being a complete rebuild in some respects. The main focus was the Admin Menu System, which has now been completely rebuilt from the ground up for Joomla 2.5. Read on for more details.

The AdminPraise team has joined Transifex to gather all template and extension translations in a single location.  Transifex is an open-source platform where Opentranslators, a group of Joomla enthusiasts, currently translate Joomla extensions.  Opentranslators are now welcome to help translate AdminPraise extensions and make it conducive for everyone.

We've just released a Joomla 1.7 version of our Stainless Admin Template! This update is immediately available in our store for new or previous purchases and in the AdminPraise Bundle.

This release is largely a port of the Joomla 1.6 version of Stainless, but we've touched and improved almost every aspect of the template.

We've just released version 1.2 of AdminPraise 3 for Joomla 1.7. This release fixes some bugs and incompatibilities with Rockettheme Gantry, K2, Frontpage Slideshow and SSL. These were highly requested fixes so we're extremely glad to get this release out to our users.

This release also includes a new UI feature: sticky toolbar. Continue reading to learn more and see the changelog.
