JomSocial 3.2.1 Stable Rock-Solid Release

We really wanted to call JomSocial 3.2.1 our "Super Rock-Solid Mega Bug-Free" release but we thought that was too long.

After we released the Beta we received just one — yep, one — bug report. Our developers and the testing automation team have done a fantastic job.

We fixed that bug… and while we were at it, made a few more improvements to JomSocial.

Amazing New Features

JomSocial 3.2.1 is packed with great new features.

Real-Time Notifications

Introduced in 3.2.0.6 and perfected in 3.2.1, you now have real-time notifications. If your server isn't powerful enough to take the strain, you can change the refresh rate.

In the backend settings, go to: Components > JomSocial > Configuration > Site:

Photo Attachments In Comments

Now your members can show their reactions as well as write them.

Photo Attachments In Private Messages.

Members can send each other pictures without the world seeing.

Tag Anywhere!

We've also speeded up tagging friends in photo album comments, video comments, photo comments, group discussions and private messages. In fact, just about anywhere — and it's blazing fast!

Broader Link-Fetching.

Fetch links in group discussions, private messages and comments.

How to download the 3.2.1

To download JomSocial 3.2.1, log in to your account at JomSocial and download the latest package. Unzip the package to find the JomSocial 3.2.1 installation file.

How to upgrade to JomSocial 3.2.1:

1. To upgrade by installing the package:

  • From JomSocial 3.2 - Uninstall the old version. Install the new version.
  • From JomSocial 2.6, 2.8, 3.0 and 3.1 - Perform a tier upgrade
  • From JomSocial 1.5 - JomSocial 1.5 is very old, and is only compatible with Joomla 1.5. To upgrade to the latest JomSocial, you'll need to migrate to at least Joomla 2.5 and perform a tier upgrade.

2. To upgrade with a patch:

Due to the changes in the database structure, upgrading with patch files is no longer possible. You will need to use the Joomla Extension manager or the iJoomla installer. You can read more about the installer here.

Install Or Upgrade, Then Sit Back And Enjoy!

We'd love to offer you guys the most stable release that's ever came out. We're really proud of it and truly believe that you'll love it too.
