Preparing your community for JomSocial 2.6
fuqaha on Mar 26, 2012
Tagged in: updates, support, Joomla 2.5, jomsocial 2.6, development, announcementWe are currently preparing for the release of JomSocial 2.6 in the next few hours. For the time being, I am reposting some quick notes that were first published a few months ago during the release of JomSocial 2.4. This guide holds much relevance to most if not all upgrade attempts for a Joomla website, hence the need for a round of reminder to ensure that such major upgrade will be smooth and safe.
Upgrading JomSocial has always been a simple matter of uninstalling the older JomSocial version and then installing the shiny, new and polished JomSocial 2.6.
But hold your horses, dear friends! A responsible community manager will always follow a strict standard operating procedure before a major update is done to the website. The following steps form basic guidelines that we abide religously while upgrading any site of ours. You may tweak it to suit your needs, requirements and system configuration.

UPDATE : JomSocial is back on Fastspring
UPDATE : The malware issue on has been resolved and we’re back on Fastspring!
https://support.fastspring.com/entries/21105128-malware-notice-resolved
Earlier today, users might experience a malware warning on JomSocial purchase pages. Please rest assured that this issue does not affect the security of order pages or your purchases. It is risk-free as ever to purchase JomSocial.
The warning is given because one marketing page on FastSpring.com (our payment processor) was hacked with some malware. This is an isolated issue and does not affect e-commerce servers including the order pages.
Because of this, Google lists any FastSpring.com URL as hosting malware and blocks Chrome and Firefox visitors from going to FastSpring.com URLs. While Order pages weren't hacked, the net effect is that users of Firefox and Chrome are temporarily blocked from getting to order pages. FastSpring is working to clean this up and get Google to unblock and hope to have it fixed soon. Buyers using IE, Safari or Opera aren't effected.
For your convenience, we have enabled alternative payment system on our Buy Now page. Please purchase from there for the time being until the warning notice is lifted. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Please proceed to these links to purchase:

Download JomSocial 2.6 Release Candidate Two for free!

Tagged in: updates, open source social networking software, Joomla 2.5, jomsocial 2.6, development, creating social networking sites, community, announcement
We had the most pleasant surprise last weekend subsequently after the release of the first JomSocial 2.6 Release Candidate. Our development site and this particular blog were visited by thousands of visitors in a matter of hours, with a surge of download activity that almost choke the unoptimized secondary server for the development site. Luckily for us, the little server proved to be a tough nut.
Putting the features to the limit
We thought all was well, but we were wrong. Soon after the release of RC One was announced, we began to receive reports of download failures with no clear cause nor replicatable procedure for us to simulate the download error. Some were using Chrome, we were also using Chrome. Some were having problems with Firefox, we have none. Some say IE worked, while other browsers failed. Some say clearing the cache works, some say nada. Some say he's terrified of ducks, and his blood is blue.. but all we know is he's called the Stig. We were dumbfounded, especially realising the the new file upload is one of the most awaited features in JomSocial 2.6. We marched on, and did some more load test and boy it was fruitful. We found out that while the download feature works fine on an average community site, it however could fail should hundreds or thousands of users attempt to access the file simultenously.
