Welcome

Well as you will have already noticed there have been several changes around here.

First up with have an all new Joomla! 2.5+ based website along with that comes a new downloads area and a subscription systems (both of those features are courtesy of Nicholas Dionysopoulos of AkeebaBackup fame).

We've also changed to using the powerful (but somewhat complex to setup) JFusion for integrating the Forums. This has meant a more reliable experience for users once they're logged in, however, it has pointed out an interesting conflict between Joomla! 2.5 and phpBB3 forum software - to work around this we recommend that you login from the main section of the website before jumping to the forums. In fact any of the links to the Forums will present a login popup if you're not already logged in.

Existing Support Subscribers will have received an email in the last week as we migrated users over to Akeeba Subscriptions and will be aware of that change.  What you may not be aware of is the other changes that we've made to the subscriptions on offer.

Subscription Plan Changes

With the extended time it has taken to get the first version of EasyTable Pro! 1.1.0 out the door we decided to look at the Subscription Plans. As usual all Plans include access to Download the software related to your subscription plan and access to the Subscriber Only support forum. When it comes to duration and costing we made a few changes.

First up, we've added a 1 Month Subscription for just $19.95, in addition to the previous 3 and 6 month subscriptions. (Technically it's 31 days but that covers every month on the calendar so...)

Secondly, we've added a "Sponsors" 12 Month Subscription level (366 days) for those that either need the support or want to show us how much they like our efforts to create this software.

Finally, ( and I suspect most importantly for existing subscribers ) thanks to the introduction of Akeeba Subscriptions with the website upgrade we can now offer reliable discounts for Subscription Renewals and Subscription Upgrades.

Renewals — if you have 10 or more days left on your current subscription you get an automatic 20% discount on your renewal.

Upgrades — if you decide to upgrade from a 1, 3 or 6 month subscription to a 3, 6 or 12 month subscription you can recieve up to a 50% credit* off your initial fee against the cost of the new Subscription. The best part of the upgrade is that your new subscription time is added to the end of your original one.

*The amount of the credit is based on the amount of time left in your current subscription.

EasyTable Update

I suspect a few of you will be interested in the news in this section as well.

EasyTable Pro! 1.1.0ß1 Released

Joomla! 2.5.4 Support

Well we finally released a Joomla! 2.5 version of EasyTable Pro! It's called EasyTable Pro! 1.10ß1 and it's now available to support subscribers in the download area right now. You can read more about EasyTable Pro! 1.1.0ß1 here.

Existing Subscribers can simply login and download it from our new download area.

Joomla! 1.5 Support

With Joomla! 1.5 rapidly reaching its "End of Life" we are not adding any more features to the EasyTable Pro! 1.0.0 line, we will however fix any bugs identified by current subscribers until that Joomla! 1.5 is dropped.

EasyTable for J!

And of course you can always get the latest versions of the free - EasyTable for J! here. It's currently at version 1.0.5b which includes several updates.

Joomla! 2.5.4+ Support

At this time there isn't a version of EasyTable for J! available for Joomla! 2.5, but once we have completed the EasyTable Pro! 1.1.0 release we expect to be able to release shortly thereafter a compatible version.

sumus…

Thats enough for this update. We're hoping to have a another update shortly as we are in the process of finishing of EasyTable Pro! 1.1.0ß2.

The Pointy End

Just a quick post.

For those that are interested today we e-mailed all those users on our "EasyTable Pro! Preview" list - if you're not on that list and have a current/expired EasyTable Pro! membership and testing web site that you would like to try EasyTable Pro! 1.1.0α31 (expected to be ßeta1) please let us know.

For those that don't want to try it out, we're expecting ßeta 1 to be out in a week for subscribers assuming that there are no major issues discovered, and so far it's looking good. If you're worried about the ßeta label we think it's good enough to be used in a production environment but as it's missing a few features  we're holding off on that label.

Cheers
