Mantra 2.0.3.1 and the 2 years celebration
Mantra 2.0.3.1 – a numerical riddle celebrating 2 years of Mantra since its launch on the 31st of May 2011 …
Pending the release of Parabola, Mantra version 2.0.3 brings a new wave of small enhancements and fixes.
Unfortunately, it also brings a tiny itsy bitsy bug which will render the built-in font options unusable. This has already been fixed and version 2.0.3.1 is pending Wordpress review. In the meantime, the manual steps to fixing this issue…
Maintenance update to CR2 HTML Module (Pro)
Today we are releasing a maintenance update for our veteran OpenCart module – CR2 HTML Module / CR2 HTML Module Pro.
This update fixes some bugs and improves a couple of features…
Parabola Theme sneak preview
Between fine-tuning the latest incarnations of Mantra, drinking our coffee, gaming like maniacs (more or less) and preparing ourselves for Mantra’s two year anniversary, we’ve also been very busy masterminding our next world-conquering creation – Parabola.
While theoretically being an offspring of Mantra, Parabola differentiates itself through its mathematically-precise design, lightness and abundance of corners.
How to install a WordPress theme
Installing a Wordpress theme can be easy or difficult, depending on the theme and it’s availability (or lack thereof) in the Wordpress themes directory.
The automatic installation process comes very handy with published themes, but sometimes things fail or themes are not available, and one must resort to the old fashioned files upload via FTP. This tutorial describes all ways.
The series of small fixes for version 2 continues. This update is not important enough to get an intro so we’ll see you after the jump with the detailed changelog.
Mantra v2 was so big that all future updates will live in its shadow. And it’s cold and damp in the shadow of Mantra, let me tell you that.
So, although very brave to come right after it, version 2.0.1 has a lackluster feel to it. It’s from missing all that sunlight.
CR2 Alter Menu update brings several new features
Several new features have been added in the latest v0.9.6 CR2 Alter Menu update: the {category=ID} shortcode, mobile menu support, custom menu items are sorted by sort_order, new “module news” section in the backend.
Mantra 2.0 is gonna rock your world
Mantra 2.0 is almost here! In a few days you’ll be able to get your hands on a fresh copy of your favorite WordPress theme.
You’ll have plenty of new options to get your hands on, plus a better settings page. Improved plugin compatibility and responsiveness and a lot of bug fixes abound in this new version.
CR2 Landing Page Pro update
The latest update to Landing Page Pro adds support for OpenCart 1.5.5.1 and the new option to control the number …
CR2 Alter Menu update with new features
The latest version of CR2 Alter Menu module for OpenCart fixes a small bug related to newline characters in custom HTML wrapping used in extreme mode but also adds an awesome new feature: shortcodes!
Now one can easily include built-in OpenCart content to the main menu via shortcodes. Available options are….
Mantra 1.9.9.7 multiple small fixes
The latest update to the Mantra theme just became live. It’s a pretty big update that both adds a few small things and fixes quite a few more. As most of these bugs were reported on the forum, it now proves its efficiency in digging up Mantra’s darkest secrets.
Extensions updates for OpenCart 1.5.5.x
Today we are announcing the first round of compatibility updates to some of our extensions for the latest OpenCart versions: 1.5.5 and 1.5.5.1.
The following extensions have either been tested and deemed to work correctly or have been updated: Default-Black theme, Bloody-Black theme, CR2 Alter Menu module. CR2 Grid Enabler module, CR2 HTML Module (Pro) module
Riot Reactions » Cryout Creations reunification (II)
To finish something that we (should have) started almost a year ago, we will be switching the (now) Riot Reactions website back to the main domain and name – cryoutcreations.eu (and .com)
None of the content will change, everything will be kept as is – pages, comments, the forum. But we will have to take both domains off-line for a couple of hours while we move content […]
Server Maintenance
On the 5th of February we will be performing a bit of server maintenance.
While doing this, we might break stuff and make our website vanish from the internet. If that happens, do not worry, it will only be temporary and we will return.
This maintenance affects all our websites so the forum and premium support system might also be unavailable for a while.
Migration to a new support model
One year since opening up our support section we are now transitioning to a different support model.
We have split support into two separate sections:
- free support, which is provided via a forum – this will help us avoid repeatable questions and hopefully help build a community willing to help itself;
- premium support via tickets (email), included for all our commercial extensions and also available via donations for our free work;
It seems it became a habit to release Mantra changelogs in pairs, even though the 1.9.9.3 changelog is long overdue and 1.9.9.4 is not even out yet. So here they are…
New release: CR2 Landing Page
Since we’ve made it past the end of the world and we are still alive, we’ve decided to release the free edition of our CR2 Landing Page Pro OpenCart module.
The free edition comes without some features, but the basic options are still there: you can display a custom message/text box to your visitors on whichever page you want, that custom content can be retrieved only from a remote URL, and you can set the width and the height of the message box area…
