Minima: Call to testers!

Have you heard of Minima?

NO?!

Minima is a remedy for Joomla's administration backend.

It's a new concept of a minimal and easier Joomla backend.

It consists of an admin template, a few modules (2) and some overrides.

Soon to be more (more overrides and some plugins).

This week I've put a demo of minima online so check it out:

- Minima demonstration

(demo:demo)

I've created a topic in people.joomla to report bugs:

Know issues:

- Some buttons "save-as-copy" are gray (it will be fixed soon)

- In some places, the click row to select doesn't work due to incompatibility with the new multiselect.js. It will be fixed.

- Can't change the shortcuts yet (that menu on the top)

- The filter behaves weirdly in some places. That's because it's nearly impossible to detect in Joomla if something is selected or not. It will be fixed (somehow).

- And if you say It looks bad on IE I'll send you the famous "O'RLY?" owl photo.

Please note that I can't release Minima until Joomla gets at least a RC state.

A good example of why is this click-row problem that occurs in some views, it started after it was added this 'mutiselect.js' script.

So I need to wait until no more changes and fixes are done on the backend.

That said, Minima is in a Alpha stage. After some bugs fixed and when J 1.6 gets stable it will be launched to the public soon after.

And yes, there is a chance (not guaranted) that Minima can come to J! 1.5.19+ thanks to mootools 1.2

It depends on how well will it work and the bugs :)

I need your feedback. Please report any bugs you may find.

Thank you!

I would love to see the blocks on the dashboard in 3 rows, rather than 2, so there can more added..
nice work

Comment by Enes Ertuğrul on July 17, 2010 at 3:17pm: This is a great back-end template. I think so, with some changes this template should be default one for Joomla 1.6

Comment by Robert Vining on July 17, 2010 at 5:24pm: I've been watching this on the people UX group, and must say, it's quite impressive! Looking forward to seeing this released!

Comment by Amy Stephen on July 17, 2010 at 9:42pm: Thanks for your work, Marco, on this Template and also your patches in the squad to bring UI consistencies. You are a leaders in this area.

Comment by Oleg Nesterov on July 18, 2010 at 2:17am: Bravo Marco. As I told you during J and Beyond: nobody could even expect that Joomla admin might look like this!

Comment by Manoel J. Silva on July 18, 2010 at 9:32am: Marco, minima é o máximo!

Thanks for the hard work...

Comment by Marco Barbosa on July 18, 2010 at 2:34pm: Haha Manoel, good one!

Thank you all!

This will be my gift to the community.

It's just the first step!
