TOPIC: Community Builder or Jomsocial

Community Builder or Jomsocial 11 months 2 weeks ago #50686

Has anyone used these two components (Community Builder or Jomsocial)? If so, I would love to hear recommendations. I manage my high school's alumni website and it is/has gotten so big, it's becoming very difficult to manage the way I've been doing it (with NetObjectsFusion).

Do you have video tutorials for either of these components?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi corkyanderson,

Yes, I've used both and both are excellent extensions packed with great features. The key is outlining what features you'd like and compare those features to the extensions to see which of the two will best meet your needs.

We don't have video tutorials for either, however we do have a whole mini-course with screenshots/text just on Jomsocial :) Here's the direct link to it:
www.ostraining.com/courses/class/joomla-25/jomsocial/

We currently do not have any tutorials for Community Builder, however if you'd like we can create one for you. Just let us know.

Kind regards,
Nick

Hello,

I'm using a commercial Joomla 2.5 template and installed Community Builder but when I click through to "register" after installing CB, I get the following error message: No input file specified at www.art-n-around.com/index.php/component/comprofiler/registers; I also get this error when I try to check on an event that I've created at: www.art-n-around.com/index.php/component...ent&id=1&Itemid=9999.

My qualifications definitely put me in the Joomla kiddie pool although, I've been using 1.5 for a friend's site for some time.

Was the CB tutorial ever published?

Many thanks,
Patsy

Hi Patsy,

Could you post your question on a new thread since this is someone else's post? I know you are new here at OSTraining and different discussion boards have different rules, so it's no problem at all. By the way, welcome here to OSTraining and looking forward to seeing your new thread. :-)
Warm Regards,

Tessa Mero
