Hello everyone,

I'd be interested to know how you're currently handling the future of your Joomla websites, since Joomla 51 is unfortunately no longer being developed.
What alternatives are you using? Are you planning to switch to a different template provider or even a different CMS?
Or have you found your own solutions to keep your existing sites running?

I'm eager to hear about your experiences and opinions.

Best regards,
Marcel

......For the rest of my sites, I have adapted Skylar to run under J6, even with the J6 compatibility plugin disabled...

That's a very good question. I sure wish I hadn't paid Joomla51 as much money as I did in the past year, before I knew I wouldn't get anything new for it.

eumel7 You'll have to work on all .PHP files of the template. I used Visual Source Code (VSC) for editing, which makes the task pretty comfortable.

Hi everyone,

Regarding the modified version: On one hand, I would be fine with distributing my version to other users. On the other hand, I don't want to undermine Joomla51's business (should Ciàran show up again over time). Therefore, I would give away my version of SKYLAR to everybody who can provide a proof that he/she purchased SKYLAR_J4 (i.e. by sending a screenshot of his/her purchase history from the Joomla51 site).


I think that's great!

Suggestion:
Perhaps you could start a new thread with the correct title for this template.

Since the private messaging system isn't working well here, it would be helpful if you could provide a contact address where people can write to you and provide proof of purchase.

just my two cents, I'm looking for SP Builder as well, but I will take a look at everything mentioned in this topic
(Yootheme, RSJoomla, Joomlaplates and now SP Builder).
I will compare cost and functionality...and I was even wondering if I should use Claude AI to have the whole website made for me..just let it search through the current site, and have it make the joomla 6 template or so...but somehow that feels wrong.

Hi dautrich.

I have a site running Journal and I need to get it J5 and J6 compatible. I came here for support and found that the website support from Ciaran has been abandoned. Can you provide advice on what I need to do?

Thanks

What is Journal?

If you have questions, you might post them in this forum. There are some people around that sometimes are able to help, including me. But of course, we are no real substitute to Ciarán.
