A change in Focus We've had a lot of discussions internally and with our users to define a business model that will allow for the stability and growth of Fabrik. Our goals are to enable as many people to use Fabrik as possible and to
... [More]
give top notch support for our subscribers.
To that effect we are removing documentation (both written and the video tutorials) from our paid subscription offers. These will be made available for free via the wiki (for written documentation) and the site's tutorials section. We realize the videos need a make over, and once the site is live we will be adding videos specific to Fabrik 3.1.
Please note that Fabrik will always be free to download and our source code is available from github.com
We have also altered our pricing structure to reflect the level of support we want to offer:
Professional support
1 day response time (excluding weekends)
Live chat support (accessible via the website)
€ 60 / month
Standard support
3 day response time (excluding weekends)
€ 20 / month
How does this effect existing users?
Existing Bronze users have been migrated to Standard Support, Silver users to professional support.
We've given the old mother-ship a lick of paint.
Joomla has been updated to 2.5 (yes we were still running 1.5 - shame on us). We considered jumping straight to Joomla 3.0 but thought it would be best to do so at a later stage. However we are still using a bootstrap template, and we have updated our Fabrik templates for the downloads and tutorials sections to match.
We are also running Fabrik 3.1 on the site.
The forum has been migrated from the slightly dated vbForum we were using to xenforo.com which is we hope more pleasing on the eye and more usable of mobile devices thanks to a responsive template.
We'd love to hear any feeback about the new site, what works, what could be improved and what we forgot to move over from the old site! Either post in the comments below or on the forum

We're hugely excited to announce that we have released Fabrik 3.0.7 for Joomla 2.5 We strongly advise you to update if you are running earlier versions of Fabrik. Fabrik 3.0.7 is not for Joomla 3+ - for that you will need to use Fabrik 3.1b.
... [More]
Obviously our next focus will be to release a release candidate for Fabrik 3.1b. All of the changes listed here will also be available in Fabrik 3.1rc1
If you have been updating from github then there is no need to update to 3.0.7 - you are already running the code.
Download Fabrik 3.0.7
So What's new?....

Joomla 3 has just been released, which is great news for the Joomla community. However, our current stable release, Fabrik 3.0.x, is unfortunately not compatible with Joomla 3. We will shortly be releasing an alpha version of
... [More]
Fabrik 3.1 that will be compatible with both Joomla 2.5 (only the latest version which as of writing is 2.5.7) and Joomla 3.
If you want to take a sneak preview, then the code for this can be found in our joomla3 branch.
The bulk of the visible work here is providing a new administration layouts to match Joomla 3's bootstrap administration templates. Bootstrap is the new template system that Joomla is using. It should provide a consistent look across all front end components that integrate it. Fabrik 3.1 will provide bootstrapped front end form and list templates, which will replace 'default' as the standard template.
As Joomla 3 is a Standard Term Support (STS) release, we are expecting to have a stable version of Fabrik 3.1 ready for Joomla 3.1 which will be released in 6 months time.
So what should I do?
If you have an existing Joomla 2.5/Fabrik 3.0.x site, you should not upgrade to Joomla 3 just yet. Wait for Fabrik 3.1 stable to come out before considering an upgrade
If you are planning a new site then your choice is harder. In general we would recommend using Joomla 2.5 and Fabrik 3, and upgrading when Fabrik 3.1 is stable. However, you should bear in mind that you will be migrating to Joomla 3, so we recommend:
You use a front end Joomla template that is designed with Bootstrap.
You check that your server meets Joomla 3's new technical requirements
Any component, plugin or module that you wish to use are or will be compatible with Joomla 3
End of support for Fabrik 2
The end of support for Joomla 1.5 is nigh, and should be announced shortly by the Joomla team. We will be ending our support for Fabrik 2 at the same time for all users except Silver subscribers. We strongly recommend you upgrade your sites to Joomla 2.5 is you are still using Joomla 1.5.
