There are glitches on your old system. Were they also fixed? When you drag and drop a text area into a section, if you changed the fonts and the template colors from the back end settings, it will glitch. When you go to PAGES then hover your mouse over the text box or any elements the elements' name will be white or not visible. Its like on hover changes the font color to white so you cannot see it. If you were trying to rename the element there is a little pencil edit icon, all of that turns white and you have to move the mouse around quite a bit before you can see it for half a second and then you need to aim at the right place to click on an invisible icon and if you are lucky you can find it and then only use backspace to delete the name and write the new one.

Looks like a great update.
But does the comment function work with the Dynamic Content detail pages?
If I put it in, I just get an empty space.
And is a rating also planned?

Hi, please check the documentation to learn more about the comments feature:

When will we see a photo gallery addon that is usable? So mainly to generate thumbnails and be able to set the layout in columns? Bulk image upload is fine, but then you have to manually reduce the image sizes and select one by one for thumbnails if you want to have optimized website speed.
Thanks and we will keep your suggestion in mind for future updates. Stay tuned!
Por favor sean mas especificos en como hacer esto. Por lo demas, ustedes son los mejores en temas de Joomla.
Gracias.

So I understand that a comment is stores as part of the article and thus needs an article mandatory.
Have you reported the issue on our Forum yet? If not, please do so, and our team will be able to look into it more closely. Thanks!
