• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

Best templates to use with Fabrik

Fabrik looks great in protostar, but whenever I switch to any other template, it seems to cause lots of chaos and general yuckiness (thats's the technical term) in the way Fabrik content gets displayed. I have been trying to work with Helix Ultimate, and I've added a number of CSS overrides to compensate for various issues, but the issues just keep popping up and I'd rather not keep chasing them.

Is Protostar the only practical template choice for fabrik? Is there something else I can do to make Helix + Fabrik work better? Thanks!
 
I also use Helix Ultimate for all my sites which, as you say, doesn’t play well with Fabrik. So I use Gantry 5 (Helium theme) for my Fabrik pages. It’s a little different to Helix but you can make the pages look almost identical with a bit of work. And Fabrik looks great on Gantry!
 
Yes, Gantry based templates seem to play well with Fabrik. As I know, Fabrik developers use (or at least used some time ago) Gantry with their own customer's projects.

For historical reasons I mostly use Helix-based templates with heavily modified Fabrik templates. So Helix also works pretty well, just a bit more modifications needed for Fabrik.
 
We are in need of some funding.
More details.

Thank you.
