Just when you think the team at RocketTheme has outdone themselves with last month’s template, along come the “Affinity“.  This jam packed extension theme also incorperates itself with multiple third party add-ons.  You can build your site using this theme to include the ever popular JomSocial, the community component; K2, the advanced content application; Community Builder, the profile extender; and phpBB3 (you can have phpBB3 themed identically with the RocketTheme’s phpBB3 related theme).

The feature list:

Simply put, this is an amazing WordPress theme by mlando at ThemeForest.net.  FolioPhoto is a great clean, crisp easy to navigate and administrate theme with all the tools you need to get up and running with your new site.   One really nice feature of the theme is that there are no plugin’s required in order for it to operate as is in the demo, so no continuous plugin updates required and wondering if the plugin is compatible with your version of theme of WordPress.  As mentioned in our previous posts we are huge fans of these portfolio themes, specially the ones that seperate the portolio categories and navigation menus from the blog and article contents.

The features as per the designer;

• No Plugins needed
• No Custom Fields for Images! ( they are handled automatically )
• Pretty Photo Light box included
• Home page Slider
• Category Thumbnail gallery (images open in the modal window!)
• Superfish multi-level drop down navigation
• Full Blog you can display Blog category navigation in the sidebar
• 2 widget sidebars
• Ad Management
• Theme option page to handle: Settings, Color scheme, Google Analytics code, Ads and more
• Cool Custom home page Completely editable just like a “Page”
• PDF Directions Included
• Tagline displays in the header
• TimThumb Image handling
• Multiple color Schemes including a white and a dark background.
• and more

Check out the demo.

Here is a wonderful example of a great WordPress designed theme that is jam packed with built in features.  It’s called Wave: a video centric theme available through Themeforest.net.  The theme comes in two flavors that is editable via the back end and lets you choose between a grunge and clean look.  Another really cool feature is that you can change a setting in the template admin section to not look for a video and potentially use it for other types of reviews.

The team at Templateplazza hit one out of the part with it’s latest theme called Showcase plazza.  For some time we have been seeing this style of themes/templates around the WordPress platform, but this is a first, to our knowledge, for the Joomla environment.  It is really nice to see new ideas spawn in the Joomla development community.

The Showcase plazza theme is geared towards, as the name would imply, showcasing various sites, however with a little bit of tweaking it can be customized to display whatever one wants.  There are two extensions included in the theme that we at ThemeLoft.com thought were outstanding additions, they are TopMenu w/Desc (this is more of a snippet) and the TPShowcase component.
