JGive v1.6.3 Stable Released

We are happy to announce the availability of JGive 1.6.3 which comes with lots & lots of awesome new features to take your Joomla Crowdfunding site to the next level. The key feature in this release is the ability to Buy Givebacks.  This means that the user can choose to pick a specific giveback & donate/invest against that. I am sure all our JGive lovers will love this;). Then we have added some great back office features letting admins add campaigns as well as donations from the back end. This means that its easier to manage donations that are not coming through the website.  

The other Major Features include

• Ability to add campaigns from the backend
• Ability to add donations from the backend
• Tighter EasySocial integration 
• Major Improvements in Reporting & CSV exports
• Email notification improvements
• JomSocial Bar display option
