Helix3 - revolutionary template framework is RC ready

As you can see, the default look for Helix3 has been updated. The style sheet has been condensed and completely rewritten, with an emphasis on flexibility for mobile responsive design. We also added new and rebuild available features.

Want to see it? Go ahead and view the Helix3 new >> demo site <<. We’re very happy to announce that new version of revolutionary Joomla  3.x template framework is also available for >> download <<. 

For users installing Helix for the first time on a site, we have nice surprise all advanced settings are already here. Helix3 isn’t just a template or a plugin, it’s a complete Joomla 3+ template framework. Anything you need to quickly get started on a new Joomla! project is already there, so you can get straight to the meaty bits. Perfect to use as-is or as a blank-genesis-starter theme for development. It is designed so that you can work fast, using current technologies and work-flows, without being bogged down by the excesses or omissions of other popular frameworks.

Let's see what you have got:

New front-end

We present completely redesigned front-end template, now is much modern and elegant.

helix3

Post Formats

This is part of template framework but it's "hidden" in each article options tabs.

helix-blog-options

If offers few useful popular post formats which allows you to easy add media like: video, image gallery, audio or link, quote or status info box - inside article. This object will be published above article title. You can use only one, chosen. By default "Standard" view is used.

Font Icons in Menu items

Have you ever found yourself wanting to spice up the navigation menus on your site by adding icons? Typically, you’d have to edit the CSS or use default Joomla feature (which as we know is not perfect) but thanks to a new Helix 3, you don’t have to. The use of icons beside menu items is a fantastic alternative that favors a quick visual option identification; and even the use of icons without text to accompany is viable.  An important current technique is the use of font icons (Font Awesome v4.3). It allows the total integration of the menu in a responsive web design thanks to the scalability and customization of vector icons. How much of them? We offers the complete set of 519 icons.

Helix MegaMenu Generator

Once Menu item is saved & activated, go into again. You should notice a new advanced Helix MegaMenu Options. From here, you can select a module and insert inside this menu item as a submenu.

menu-layout helix

Using Manage Layout you can choose one from list of few layouts.

 Page Title Option

Since now you can use separate background color and image for each menu item. This option is possible from "Helix Page Title" tab. Have fun with customizing your subpages.
bg-page-menu

Bootstrap 3.2

The Helix has been updated to Bootstrap 3.2.x. We used Bootstrap as a core of Helix3, also because this is the most popular HTML, CSS, and JS framework for developing responsive, mobile first projects on the web. Now is much more compatible with all modern browsers and usable with any device from phones to tablets to desktops with CSS media queries.

Sticky Header

One click in Helix3 template settings and you can use fixed (sticky) header on the whole website. Then your header content area will stay visible at the top of the screen as you scroll through that content. Header tend to contain navigation and enabling this option may improve UX of website.
sticky-header

Mobile Logo

About this feature asked our clients, it is extremely useful in particular when your desktop logo is too big to show on small mobile screen. Now you can use alternative, smaller version of logo on mobile devices only and choose different for retina screens.
helix-mobile-logo

Background Options

We are happy to provide background options (color, image, repeat, size, attachment and position) straight from the Helix 3 settings.
bg img

Google Fonts Improved

Right now using Google Font is much easier we also want to introduce a "Update Font List" feature. It allows you to refresh the list of available Google fonts. So if there are any new ones, this button allows you to quickly update fonts with just one click, and they will be automatically added in to Helix 3 Framework. Which allows you to use them quick. Subsets (like Latin Extended, Vietnamese are also no problem - just choose the character sets you want. Of course if they are available for selected font set. All settings are from template settings, so you have got now a simple and efficient way to embed Google fonts of your choosing to your website with a few clicks of your mouse.

google-fonts

Google has been supplying the community with a large collection of web-based fonts for quite a few years. One of unique Helix3 feature is Live Font Preview during choosing from list 670+ of available fonts. Integrating new & unique fonts into a Joomla website can improve the appearance, increases trust for your website.

fonts-preview

Layout Manager Changed

Not just new, but also improved. The biggest change is obvious: "Save as copy" option that makes it easier to save few Layouts constructed using this tool  Right now when you will use duplicated template, you can choose layout saved before. Also all settings are now presented in way which helps them very easy to find.

layout-manager-helix3

New Menu Type

We developed also new type of menu - Off-Canvas menu, which can be mixed with MegaMenu. Off-canvas menu is positioned outside of the viewport and slide in when activated. This has the obvious and similar benefit of dropdowns menus with a lot more flair. It might be useful if you want to present more modern appearance.

off-canvas-menu

Off Canvas Menus are used primarily with Mobile and touch devices and can provide an extremely useful and beautiful experience for your users.

Custom Code Improved

You don't have to use additional plugins for example to add custom CSS/JS code anymore. We added two new fields:
  • Before </head> - any code you place here will appear in the head section of every page of your site. This is useful when you need to add verification code, javascript or css links to all pages.
  • Before </body> - any code you place here will appear in bottom of body section of all pages of your site. This is useful if you need to input a tracking code for a state counter such as Google Analytics or Clicky.
  • Custom CSS - just enter/paste any custom CSS you want to use on whole website.
  • Custom JS - just enter/paste any custom JS you want to use on whole website.

custom-code in helix

 

Social Comments

This build-in option adds  IntenseDebate Comments system, Facebook comments and / or Disqus Comments to your site. All in one tool. You don't have to install any addcional plugin anymore to get this feature. Social allows your readers to log in via a preferred social network and add comment under article.

comments-social

You can also enable Social Share buttons in Article Blog list and inside each article. We increased number of supported & popular social icons.

social-icons

Contact Information

Template Framework allows you from its settings to add short contact info rectangle with phone number and email.  This might be useful for company website. Of course you can add more information using typical Custom Module or any other module instead - so it's only one of possibilities. Remember to disable this option if you want to use module.

phone

contact-info-box-helix

 

Editable footer

Editable footer text — add custom copyright note with HTML tags or hide the template credit without harming the code. You are also able to change footer position choosing one of available module positions.

footer helix3

First of thanks very much for helping us to fix bugs. In Helix3, we tried to keep it simple thats why we removed nested row columns. We removed options but improved possibilities. In V2, we needed complex layout for module positions but in Helix3 we will do everything using SP Page Builder which will give you unlimited possibilities.Well, thats a known issue. Just thinking about the UX for SP Page Builder integration. How will you love to see the layout after publishing module to left or right position?Thanks

Oh, I just forgot to inform that all front-end functionalities are coming from template part. So, you can do almost anything you want.3. Gallery is not working because of Joomla 3.3.6. Just update to Joomla 3.4 ang gallery will work great. Thats a bug in Joomla 3.3.6. Our main aim is Joomla 3.4 which will release middle of this month.4. Well, we allow users to put anything in the offcanvas position. Also, added option to choose Off Canvas behavior. You can set off canvas for mobile view only from menu settings tab.5. Okay, we will improve the off canvas menu module :)Also, thanks for your effort. We will fix everything within the final release.

Agree with Marc on #4 and #5. A bit confusing and limiting! I was about to post the same first experiences... great I found Marc's comment. So, here are my thoughts and suggestions. First of all it is nice to use the Off-Canvas position for any module... :- But I would expect it to be an "optional" menu. Currently it is THE ONLY mobile menu. Doesn't make sense if I want to use it for other modules as well.- The MAIN menu should get his own mobile/RWD display. Where is the usual Bootstrap3 collapse menu!?- Off-Canvas should have a left and right screen position. (Maybe even two positions simultaneously)- Off-Canvas should CLOSE on background click. (click to close on dimmed page area, like modal windows and lightbox behavior.Thanks for listening.

1. Okay. custom.css issue will be fixed.2. Just publish menu module to offcanvas position.3. We have added all possible layout variations. Whatever you need is already there. We did not wanted our users to storm their brain for configuring the layout.4. For example, if you need 8 & 4 combination then choose 4 & 8 layout and then drag 4 to the right and you are done.Thanks

In Helix2 the possibility of choosing between the 1170 and 940 resolution, and the Component Area could be Hide from frontpage!Is this options removed from Helix3?
Kawshar Ahmed
Kawshar Ahmed

1. We removed width option from Helix3.2. Yes, we removed hide component area option too. Helix3 is deeply integrated with SP Page Builder. So, no need to apply any trick to hide component area now. Now this is limiteless to create any kind of complex and functional page using SP Page Builder.Please play with quickstart pack and then you will understand we have removed that option.Thanks

I can't understand why You removed possibility of choosing between the 1170 and 940 resolution and turning of responsivity. I need 940px resolution and fixed divs (no responsive). Now I need to play with css. It was good option and You removed that.
pepperstreet

Sorry, I can't agree with JoomShaper decisions:1. The max width have to be a basic parameter. Easy accessible and customizable. Only "boxed" and "full screen width" is not enough. 2. "Hide Component on homepage" was a neat option! What if you don`t use page builder? Also you won't have to create an extra template style/layout for this purpose.
Kawshar Ahmed
Kawshar Ahmed
9 years ago
This is 2015 and this is the modern era of web design thats why re removed 940px resolution from the settings. But you can always set width to 940px. You just need to add some css tweaks. Please seach getbootstrap.com about disabling responsive settings.Thanks
M
manx

I know this is 2015 and this is modern area. Also i know how to set 940 width and disable reponsive settings i know css. But for me disable this option is step back. Next version of any extencion or framework should be a evolution of previous version, not removing options.Next thing, more important for me. In helix 2 we could set more columns with more possibilities. Know there is max 4 columns? I want 6 columns. How can i set that? I understand you wanted to more integrate your framework with sp page builder. I have spb pro (sp page builder pro), and i like it, but it is good only for simple and small sites. In SPB there is no even option to save my own template. Framework should be more powerfull. When i found helix 2 it was almost perfect, easy to use and with great solutions. Know helix 3 is even more simple to use, but it not means it is better.Tell me please, how to set more columns in H3?

Bad work. Your framework is now not compatible with Joomla which means that the best extensions like Fabrik and Seblod are no longer supported as you moved to bootstrap which is not compatible with Joomla's bootstrap.

- This time we code everything under the template folder. So, anything can be achieve if you put some efforts. Well, Off Canvas menu got three options as "Megamenu + Off Canvas", "Megamenu" and "Off Canvas".First option will allow you to put both megamenu and off canvas menu and 2nd one will show megamenu only but off canvas will be visible in mobile device only.3rd option will show off canvas menu for both mobile and larger display.- We tried to keep it simple thats why kept just off canvas for mobile view. As we saw more options create more confusions.- Just edit the css and you are done.Thanks

Having the same problem. When reducing the window width on a big screen or on the screen of any mobile device the megamenu or the button for the off canvas menu jump out of the row, especially if a logo is displayed left from the menu. If the megamenu would only be displayed on big screens and not on the tablet width this would maybe not be such a problem. Is there a way to make this change?The way it is now, I am sorry to say, it is not practical for most of the pages I build. I would therefore look for another menu system although I like the looks and the functionality of the built in one a lot.The Helix 3 especially together with the Pagebuilder are great. Thanks.

HELIX 3 + SP PageBuilder suggestions:Since both products are your current "flagships", they should work together more smoothly. Both are build on Bootstrap v3, but each of them loads its own files!?! And the layout editor appearance is different. IMHO, both products should look and feel the same. And if both products are present, the CSS/JS load should be reduced and optimized.PS: I am aware of your "name-spaced" bootstrap approach... it may have advantages if I use it with other templates/frameworks. BUT if I use HELIX3 or a Bootstrap3 powered template, it makes no sense.

Thanks for the reply. I noticed in the comment below, that we need to select 'install Sample data' during the Joomla installation process. I was failing to do this and selecting 'None' instead of 'Default English (GB) Sample. I deleted my database in PHPmyAdmin and deleted my Joomla installation in the Wamp www folder. I then performed a completely fresh setup of the QuickStart package, except this time choosing the install Sample Data option. The template is now up and running!

Showcase is in Page Builder but the sections (rows) in PB don't have names. Check near the bottom of the page and open Settings for each Row until you find the one with Showcase as the title. Then delete it. The old trick for module position display may be some help but is not perfect with PB. Open Extensions Manager>Templates and click on Options top right. Click Enable for Preview Module Positions. On the front end, add this to your site address: ?tp=1 such as www.example.com/?tp=1 to see positions. Helix seems to have position names (top1, left), PB doesn't but at least you know whether to look in Helix or PB.

I find it better the other way around... to use Page builder on the entire site, except when you HAVE to use component menu types. then put all of the common modules in module positions on the template. (like your footer etc)... If you buy page builder pro, you can export and import pages... I create a master page builder template that includes any header stuff etc.. and use that for each page. So far, I have some pretty complex sites running entirely in page builder pages... I just love it.

Thank you for this great framework!!I have noticed that when trying to creat/edit an article from the front-end, when I click on a tab, it disappears. I read in the support forum that the problem is now solved but could not locate the solution. In case it helps, here is a short video clip of the problem: http://bit.ly/1Wm7qYR. Could you please help me? Thank you again.

I need to insert video at the bottom of a section of the Helix 3, but this is not possible, unfortunately. This feature should already be enabled natively by the framework.

Custom.css file

It does not reflect the changes from this file. What should I do more in order for this file to reflect my changes?

Thanks a lot for your reply

Actually - after more checking - I see that some lines in the custom.css file are reflected but some are not, such as:
[code type="xml"]#offcanvas-toggler > i { color: #0dbf13 !important; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: middle !Important; }[/code]

If I put this line inside the Custom CSS [b]in the template[/b] itself it does reflected.

What am I doing wrong?
