Update: Helix Ultimate 1.0.2 brings open graph data, RTL support and more

It’s no surprise if we bring an update to any of our products. The question is what gets updated and what we have in it. Let me spill the beans. This time we are bringing an update to your most favorite Helix Ultimate framework.

Your courteous feedback and some of our findings led us to add more to Helix Ultimate and fix all known bugs. Applauses from a huge number of users after Helix Ultimate Framework made us believe that we are providing what they need. And to support that statement, today we are releasing the latest update of Helix Ultimate framework.

From adding “RTL support” to “Choose H1 or H2 for the page title”, there’s a lot in the newest version. Let’s check what else are there in this latest update.

H1 or H2 for Page Title

RTL language support

We believe the world is united and language should not be the hindrance to that. Considering this fact and showing respect to the people whose language script starts from the right, we introduce RTL support in this update. We know RTL support will bring happiness to a huge community.

RTL Feature

Open Graph protocol

When you want to share a link (shared content) on social media from your site, you can’t readily take control over the appearance of that content. Using Open Graph will give you the freedom to play around with the appearance of shared contents. We are introducing this feature for Facebook and Twitter in this update so that you can engage your potential customers with lucrative shared contents.

Open Graph Protocol

Changelog:

  • New: RTL support
  • New: Open graph (Facebook and Twitter) option added for article details
  • New: Moved predefined headers to the template folder
  • New: Option to choose H1 or H2 for the page title
  • New: Login module override
  • New: Bootstrap 4.1 included
  • Fix: Small space between clock and time
  • Fix: Menu dropdown position
  • Fix: Logo layout breaking issue on the mobile layout
  • Fix: Page class suffix issue in article details
  • Fix: Social custom icons
  • Fix: Module position on top1 and top2 position for predefined headers
  • Fix: Offcanvas menu position
  • Fix: SCSS disable bug
  • Fix: In Media Manager, clicking on anywhere of an image/folder thumb makes a selection

How to update from the previous version:

The best way is just re-install Helix Ultimate template with new version - downloaded from our site. It will update both framework and template, in both changes has been made by us. You don't have to uninstall old version. Then please edit the template settings and on Layout builder > section enable predefined headers and choose one.  Remember to clear browser cache after template update.

From JoomShaper with Love

One thing we can say for sure is that this update will make you love Helix Ultimate even more. Since we are promised to fulfill your desires, don’t forget to make suggestions that pop into your head. Thanks for being with JoomShaper. Happy developing :)

N.B. It's advised to export all the settings before updating Helix Ultimate.

Hi,
Noted with thanks. We will have a look at it. In the meantime, could you please check the header variation if it's selected or not? I think somehow it got deselected.

Hi Joomshaper,

You have done great work with helix ultimate.

The new feature oh H1 and H2 option is great but is limited right there. We need to choose h1 or h2 globally for article titles. Now we have to go to template override and change it manually through php file and when an update comes we have to do the same again and again. I'll be glad if you implement it!

Page Builder and Helix Ultimate are the best combination out there. Keep up the good job.

Thanks

Also wonder about the single radio parameter. What about "SubTitle"?
As far as I know, Joomla core supplies a field with all headings (see module advanced params for example). Why not make use of it!?

About what icons you're are talking about ? Those known from Helix3?
