Did you know that over 500+ MILLION Facebook users are 1-click away from registering on your site? With the newest release of JFBConnect,the Joomla Facebook Integration Suite, you're only 10 minutes away from attracting and interacting with that wide audience.
With this release, we've added 10 new social modules for thing like Fan Boxes, Likes, Live Stream of posts, Friends of your page, and have enhanced our Facebook Invite module to top it off.
JFBConnect 3.0 RC2 is now available (JED Listing). This release cleans up some of the minor issues from Release Candidate 1 and adds a few more requested features to make 3.0 even more robust. Check out our changelog for more information on.
The SourceCoast team has just published the first release candidate of JFBConnect 3.0, the best Joomla Facebook component! Facebook Like, Recommendations, Comments, Feed, Fan Box, Shared Friends, LiveStream, Share and Friend Invite modules are all included in the new package.
First released in 2008, JFBConnect has been the easiest, most powerful, and well-supported component for Facebook registration and integration into your Joomla site. In addition to the new social modules, 3.0 also brings support for Facebook's Graph API, new features (auto-login, FB Analytics data, much more), easier integration into 3rd party components, and numerous speed improvements. All of this is in addition to the existing profile import features for Kunena, Community Builder, and JomSocial...
Today, JFBConnect v2.6.2 was released. This version has some important updates to conform to, and work with, Facebook's revised privacy policies that will go into effect in July. This has also given us the opportunity to change some of the permission requests to be more inline with how our subscribers have asked them to work.
The biggest change is that now the settings for "Request Email Permission" and "Request Post To Wall Permission" have been changed to "Require Email Permission" and "Require Post To Wall Permission". Now you can prevent users from logging in via Facebook if they don't want to provide their real, or Facebook proxy, email address. Same goes for the post to wall permission.
Today marks the release of v1.2 of PayToUpgrade. With this release, it's even easier to add payments to any component using the premiere payment solution for Joomla. Also included are new upgrade plugins for HotProperty and the Agora Forum as well as a new module to put subscription information on any page of your site.
PayToUpgrade v1.2 brings the most highly requested feature over the last month: emails.
With the new release of Joomla 1.5.18 comes a new release of the (free!) Version Verification Tool. This new update allows you to verify the integrity of all Joomla releases from 1.5.0 to 1.5.18. Great as a sanity check for possible hacking/modification attempts. VVT also makes upgrading less stressful as you move to 1.5.18, as you can be sure that no modifications have been made that will be overwritten.
JomSocial Migrator, the easy-to-use migration tool to transfer data from Community Builder to JomSocial, has just been updated. This version brings improved compatibility and testing between the latest releases of both components (CB 1.2.2 and JS 1.6). An enhanced AJAX migration functionality has been also added to prevent timeouts on very large sites. In addition to these major improvements, minor bug fixes and enhancements throughout the component are available now.
If you're moving from Community Builder to JomSocial, you need JomSocial Migrator!
JFBConnect v2.6, the powerful Facebook Connect extension for Joomla, has just been released. This version adds Kunena integration to complement the current JomSocial and Community Builder abilities. Now, your Kunena profiles can be automatically filled in with a user's Facebook profile fields. The other heavily requested feature is the addition of fetching a user's Facebook email address to populate their profile with. The major updates in this revision are:
We're proud to announce the immediate availability of a PayToUpgrade plugin for Community ACL. This plugin quickly lets you create new upgrade variants based on user group, role, and function level. Each variant can have it's own price and expiration date upon which the user's access permissions are revoked for that group.
A PayToUpgrade plugin supporting corePHP's Community ACL component was finalized yesterday and will be available soon (screenshots below). Utilizing the easy to configure upgrade plugin system of PayToUpgrade, Community ACL joins Dioscouri's JUGA in now having the easiest way to charge user's for different access levels on your site.
