JomSocial 1.8 is here. What does this mean for you & me

The release of the latest version of JomSocial,V.1.8 codenamed "Wazi" (Swahili for clear, openness and clarity), opens up a whole new vista of possibilities for the average JomSocial based Social Network. I bet you have already have heard about what features have been packed into this new release.There's the amazing new Social Events Management system, then a bettered activity stream & much enhanced media handling, Ability to edit walls to name a few features. What we shall also be looking at is how this affects you & how it affects our extensions.

From my perspective , the announcement of JomSocial going GPL with this release holds much more weight than all its new features combined. On one front it proves that quality commercially supported extensions can be built & sustained while being licensed under GPL. Secondly, the best part of this is that you can now install JomSocial on any number of sites, though you may only request support for one domain. So now you can get all those cash strapped projects up & running !

Invitex 1.2 released.

We are happy to announce the availability of Invitex V. 1.2 to all active subscribers having a subscription for Invitex.This Invitex release comes with some small but nice improvements which will make you love it even more !

We have added a JomSocial plugin which replace the default JomSocial invitations menu with one going to Invitex. For this make sure you install the new plug_js_inviteX.zip thats available in the unzip package & publish it.

The invite email becomes even more interesting now with the ability to show "People who have invited you" with their avatars just like Facebook or Orkut does. To have this go out in your invite emails, make sure you edit your email content & Add [PWIU] in the mail content. This is the tag that will be replaced.

Additionally we have added a nice looking reports dashboard on the Admin side to give you a quick snapshot of how invitations are helping your site. Make sure you read our updated documentation to see how you can implement the above.

To see a full list of changes & Screenshots, please read on. Active subscribers can download the latest version from the "My Downloads" menu once you login.

Make your Users Stick!

Make your users stick !This blog is going to be mostly about the thought process behind creating the extensions we currently have & ones that are planned & how these can help your Social Networks grow & sustain. It will also talk about Social Networks in general & how you can make them more effective.

We have worked on the 'Social Network' concept before the first of them were born. It was just not called Social Networking then! Well, a lot of the pieces were there.. but still it wasn't what a Social Network is now. Launched in August 2003, MySpace was one of the forerunners. This was followed by Orkut in Jan 2004 & Facebook in February 2004. Only mentioning a few biggies here. These were the ones that brought about the Web's latest revolution. With such personalized connections, the web suddenly got viral & revolutionized almost all aspects of our life. There's a lot more you can read about the history of Social Networks on Wikipedia.

And then suddenly creating Social Networks became the most in-demand thing & everyone wanted one of their own! In our own Joomla community, a lot of players emerged making it pretty easy to get started with your own network.

Read on to know how you can make your Social Networks more effective..
