De-Kyid Dzong® site Improvements

 La Tuilerie

A non religious part of TNG Centre. At Dekyid Dzong, we create a space where it is conducive for you to explore from the head to the heart. It is probably the longest journey and most important expedition in ones life time. It requires courage and tenacity.

Focus is on Food, Nature, Artistic expression and art and wellness in a old home named La Tuilerie, which is a serene, peaceful and quiet estate which is situated on a one hectare land franked by the river Orbieu, a 84.2 km long river in Aude commencing from mountain of Corbières near Fourtou flowing down northeast towards the coastal area of Narbonne. The meandering river has pristine clear water, surrounded by a bamboo forest on property, and is a respite for the hot summer sun. 

The property consists of a 150 year old majestic French stone house on two floors, with three beautifully appointed bedrooms and a luxurious spacious bathroom. 

The indoor dining room is comfortably designed for eight, and can be extended for ten.  There are several optional outdoor dining venues to be enjoyed on gorgeous weather from Spring to Autumn.  

Where do we get the name from...

‘Dekyid’, a Tibetan term, labels the concept of ‘Happiness’ in a way that the term itself embraces the happy and pleasant circumstances that contributed to it. As an example, a Person walking down the street might be happy but someone relaxed at a picnic, would be ‘Dekyid’.

‘Dzong’ points to a fortress or a place of power. In essence DKD is a wellness space where one can learn and acquire access to the nuances of happiness.

After the upgrade and migration Atol Solutions donated their time and expense to make the site better in look-and-feel and functionality such as template improvement, more mobile friendly, social media linking and other cosmertics to use template functions and not individual overrides/specifciation at the article level.

We also added new functionality to manage events for the various workshops, retreats and other happenings. This provides track of registrations, communications and payments.

Certainly lots of work and dedication and we have almost completed all items with the help of our Indian Team!

Client Site Upgrades Joomla 3 to Joomla 5

joomla5_sql8

WE have started the project to migrate all Atol Solutions managed sites to Joomla 5. 

Joomla 1.5, 2.5 and 3.x are no longer supported. Joomla 3.10 finished the Security Support Phase. So time to migrate to Joomla 4 & 5.

Embracing Change:…Why Joomla 5’s Requirement for MySQL 8 is a Leap Forward

an interesting article.

This upgrade is lots of work as software suppliers have either decided to stop Joomla Development or stopped all together. This means sites need, replacemenent of template, convert K2 publishing to native Joomla content, replace K2 modules or alter source and much more.

Together with our Partners in India we started the project and sofar have finished 3 complex sites.

If you have a need for similar migration of your site, contact us.

We Welcome Body Balance Anneloes ~ Manueel Praktizijn®

BBASit_20220325-170718_1

Some time ago we were contacted by Anneloes Velda the owner of Body Balance Anneloes ~ Manueel Praktizijn® in Makkum Friesland. BBA provides therapeutic service like Shiatsu, Bodycushion, Acupuncture, specialized preganancy massage and sells magnesium products for your well-being. "The power of Touch" is the main focus.

The website of BBA could not be updated any longer due to outdated plugins and cost of applying new ones would be too costly. Also the owner could not have access to the domain/hosting service. So we went to remedy quickly.
