I'm delighted to announce the availability of Chameleon for Joomla 1.7.

Chameleon is the new name for MetaTemplate Pro.

Chameleon represents the results of months of work on porting MetaTemplate Pro to Joomla 1.7.

Chameleon has some great new features:

1 - you can set the page title, metakeywords and metadescription in the SUCCEED and FAIL actions. This provides a way to manipulate these using all the logic in the rest of the system. It may be particularly useful if you are setting different templates for different sub-domains on your site, so that the page name reflects the graphical changes on the site.

2 - you can now include arbitrary JS and CSS files, and add HTML code into the head of your document in the SUCCEED action. This allows you to make finer-grained changes to your template without having to use a whole new template.
