Right now we are working on upgrading all our themes to new Magento release. The good news is that all upgraded templates will be based on our new improved Magento template framework with new improved seo code. Most popular themes will be available till the end of the week. We are planning to finish upgrading all themes within 3 weeks. ---- All rights reserved. nd.com Read on...
Good to see they are on the case, and a three week wait is not unreasonable considering the number of templates they have made available.
Magento templates are not independent
Template providers for Magento tend to create their products using parts of the default Magento template to supplement their own code. Magento therefore uses parts of the default template, combined with the custom template, to build the site.
This method of easing template creation by not having to reproduce every last element from the default template is a cost-effective means of developing, and consequently brings the cost of each template down. But inevitably leaves developers at the mercy of the Magento developers. If they change the default template structure, it could easily break the third party templates.
This is no criticism of TemplatesMaster, this method of template creation is commonplace and quite acceptable, particularly for complex template structures such as Magento’s. But it does demonstrate how we remain at the mercy of core product developers of large, commercial products such as Magento. Their product development is commercially motivated (as it should be), but this can lead to the broader community of developers having to hop around when things change.
