0 comment(s)

The Joomla landscape is evolving, and we’re excited to announce that Offlajn is right there with it! After more than half a year of dedicated development, we’ve released major updates for our flagship extensions, Vertical Menu and Creative Slider, ensuring full compatibility with Joomla 6. This isn’t just about compatibility, though. We’ve undertaken an extensive modernization of both extensions, building a robust foundation for years of future innovation.

Creative Slider and Vertical Menu for Joomla! 6 arrived

We understand that updates of this magnitude take time. This significant overhaul ensures that our extensions are not only ready for Joomla 6 but are also more stable, performant, and future-proof than ever before.

What’s New in Vertical Menu and Creative Slider?

  • Full Joomla 6 Support: Both Vertical Menu and Creative Slider now work natively with Joomla 6. You no longer need the Joomla Backward Compatibility Plugin, simplifying your workflow.
  • Completely Rewritten Core: Large portions of both extensions have been meticulously rewritten. This means a cleaner architecture, easier maintenance, improved stability, and a codebase ready for the future.
  • Updated GSAP Animation Engine: We’ve replaced the old animation library with the latest version of GSAP. This brings benefits such as better performance, improved browser compatibility, enhanced security, and smoother animations.
  • Enhanced Performance: Expect faster loading times and a more responsive experience thanks to numerous optimizations, including smaller assets, less JavaScript overhead, and improved rendering.
  • Accessibility Improvements: Vertical Menu, in particular, now adheres to much higher accessibility standards. This includes improvements in keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and semantic markup.
  • Better Compatibility: Our updated extensions offer improved compatibility with Joomla 6, modern templates, and modern frameworks.
  • Hundreds of Fixes: Based on your valuable feedback, we’ve implemented countless bug fixes and improvements, ensuring a more polished and reliable experience.

A Note on Development and Testing

The extensive modernization of Vertical Menu and Creative Slider has been a significant undertaking. We prioritized reliability and quality over a rushed release. These new versions have spent a considerable amount of time in beta testing, with many customers testing them in real-world, production-like environments. We are immensely grateful to those who provided feedback during the testing phase; your input has been crucial in refining these releases.

Looking Ahead

Offlajn remains committed to providing high-quality Joomla extensions. This update is a testament to our long-term commitment to our products and our valued customers. We are excited about the future and the possibilities these modernized foundations will unlock for new features and enhancements.
