Hi folks,
I help run a small association website using primarily Easyblog & Kunena as the main content provision (with calendar & event registration component & a few others suporting it). We have jomsocial installed, but most activity goes on in Kunena or Easyblog comments, so we hid most of jomsocial as much as we could. The problem with developing Joomla sites without a dedicated web designer on board is that it ends up looking like a bunch of separate piece of software hooked together (*even* if they all come from the same developer, like Stackideas!).
I'm looking to upgrade to latest stackideas extensions and move to a responsive Joomla news/magazine template that supports Easyblog & Easydiscuss, with the intention of migrating Kunena to Easydiscuss. We would also consider replacing Jomsocial with Easysocial, but I'm not convinced of the need for either on our site (would make sense if Easysocial used Easydiscuss as it's core discussion engine), we might just remove it - neverthless it would be good to have support in case we change our mind.
Are there any good responsive news/magazine templates out there that could give us a decent business-like newsy UI with support for front-page news display of Easyblog content, and styling of Easyblog and Easydiscuss (and potentially Easysocial) to be usable on desktop, iPad and mobile phones?. Most of the good news/mag themes seem to support only Jooma & K2 articles, I've found a few that support Easyblog - but not necessarily Easydiscuss, and a few the other way round. Trying to find one that supports both (or all) the stackideas extensions in a news template, with iPad & phone support seems almost impossible.
So.. please help with any pointers.... are there any good reference sites that use the Stackideas extensions together in a holistic way - I'd love to see how they handle content display & styling on different devices.
Any chance of a good kick-ass responsive reference template like this covering all the extensions from Stackideas ? Failing that, a good directly/list of all third party templates that support stackideas extensions would be very handy - apologies if it's there somewhere, couldn't find it.
best regards,
Aidan.
