NinjaBoard Countdown to launch: Day 14

Untitled hosted by Ember

We're going to start posting regularly showing you previews and tell you what's happening with NinjaBoard as we get closer to the stable release.
We've been working very hard on the stable release for a couple of months now, and we felt it's about time we started showing you what we've been doing.

Follow up:

First off, new NinjaBoard, is new in every sense of the word. We got new icons, new backend interface, new frontend template system, a new template with codename Cameleon, codebase completely refactored, now powered by the nooku framework and our own in-house framework codename Napi (which rely on Nooku Framework), and so incredibly much more!

In short, we have so much to tell you, we have to give it to you in portions, so you're not overwhelmed.

Today the topic is Cameleon, and how NinjaBoard stack up to its competitors on how well it integrates with your site template.

Component templating is a pain, and we know how much work it can be to make your forums look integrated with your overall joomla template style and feel. So we thought it's about time we make that a thing of the past.

Since we really want to get this released ASAP, I will let the screenshots do the talking so I get more time coding ;) We're currently done with the backend, and are working on the frontend right as we speak. So the screenshots is hot off the heels of what we got up working today.

So we'll this time around give you head-to-head comparisons of NinjaBoard v1 vs Kunena vs Agora. We'll use 4 very recent templates with very different style and feel to show you how awesome Cameleon is :), with a bonus screenshot on the last one to show how flexible Cameleon is on a template per template basis.

Again, the following screenshots of NinjaBoard are all using nothing but the new default template. We're not having one NB template per Joomla template, even though it looks so good it could make you think like it.

Huge thanks to Johan Janssens and Mathias Verraes for their awesome work on Nooku Framework, without their brilliant framework, we would never have the time to make NinjaBoard this great! If you're a developer that hasn't requested code access yet, stop wasting your time coding like the old days and request access right now!

We also thank ProThemer for their fantastic work on Morph, no other template framework is more capable of showing of Cameleons true power than Morph!

That's it for day 1, keep an eye on this blog for more info, eyecandy and updates on what's happening with NinjaBoard. Cheers!
