Xtrato Designs Network

Im happy to announce that the new Andromeda Blue has been updated for vBulletin 3.8.X ,  this new release is posted over at vBulletin Designers Website ,  also to come is XD-Apoc update , and soon fallowed by the rest of the commercial themes for vBulletin.   At the moment we are working on Three custom solutions for customers , so we are pretty busy , in the time between , we are also working on new templates , for vBulletin , Joomla , IPB and other systems.

  We are also still working on the download system , we want to provide our users with the best download system out there, but so far , we are still looking.. not many that meet our demands as a design community.

  There are other important news i will address soon regarding our partner community Tiny Portal Media.  please stay put , later this week i will address that particular community and post the updates.

  Xtrato Design team.

Hello People !, flash update ,  We have installed the point system at our forums ( thanks to killa ) , i consider this a very good addon for our forums , it will enable us to be more competitive , as well as have prices , themes , designs , and much more .  We will add other modules to the forums as well , to enable members to use these two components to their maximum potential . They both can deliver extraordinary results when used and managed properly.  

Secondly , we just installed a comment system for Joomla, so everyone can comment on the articles posted here , or in any page we have, i know these are going to be good for those upcoming tutorials we are going to be adding , its a pretty neat component , must i say however , that if you want your avatar to show! , you will have to do the following steps.

• First! , get an avatar ( obiously )
• you will need to sign up at www.gravatar.com USING THE SAME EMAIL YOU USED TO REGISTER at XTRATO.COM!! (or you can add it later ) ( easy fast , quick , and not spam ) besides it helps you on multiple sites!
• and thats it , the comment system will pull out the avatar from gavatar.com and its ready, the avatar will be used only in joomla not in IPB!

The forums will also have new categories outside the design world , one of those will be Business, so we can all have an update on our Economic world , as well as have something on a higher though to discuss. we should start with GM , but that will be in the forums.

 I hope everyone likes the comment system in joomla , as well as the point module in IPB , we will be having quite some fun in the upcoming times , although I'm busy , i will be participating here more than ever!.

Regards to all.

We Are now back online!!! look around !!'

New Website New Engines , Xtrato Designs is now powered by Joomla and Invision Powered Board , ( IPB ) , it is more user friendly , both will be good to work with , adding tutorials , articles , downloads , and what not.

You might ask yourself , what about WordPress? , well wordpress is a great system , however i dont think its meant for a full force community like ours. we want to provide a reliable site , easy to use and navigate. Joomla provides many key components that allow the ease of use and access for both the Administrator and End-User .

Now as far as the Community Boards , IPB , is far more of a community bulletin than that of vBulletin . vB Is a great forum , however , after testing around IPB , and its key features and components , i found it to be more "community" Oriented, and directed towards what we have here at xtrato designs. So we transitioned from vBulletin to IPB , your username and password still ramain the same , nothing has changed but the forum itself , post and such have been retained for all to still enjoy.

Welcome To Xtrato Designs V3.5 , Our new site is now powered By Joomla , and IPB , powerful engines to successfuly implement new projects to better serve the community. we are now on the 2009 A Track , which means First Quarter of our projects.
