3. Joomla ACL integration
Want to restrict a certain functionality of JomSocial to specific Joomla User Group? Maybe you have a paid site and want to allow posting images only to paid members. Or you just want to assign moderating abilities to user without the need to give them access to the site backend? No worries, we got you covered on this front as well. With ACL controls you can fine tune your community how you see fit. More info about JomSocial ACL integration

- Migrate from other Joomla social extensions to JomSocial. Currently supports Community Builder and EasySocial.
- Migration support for commercial Community Builder addons is coming soon.
II. Pricing & Policy changes :
This is for good, everyone gets to benefit from these changes and gets enhanced acccess. Standard plan sadly had to go back to its original features as we found it very difficult to empower the Pro and SuperCharged users. These pricing changes take immediate effect.
1. All Standard Users are now upgraded to Pro
First of all Standard plan ($99) does not have renewal discount and Pro Plan renewals is at $99, so standard users are only gaining with this upgrade not to mention the benefits Pro plan offers.
2. Standard Plan features restored
Standard Plan is supposed to be basic plan and it should remain so.
3. SuperCharged is now 1 Year Plan
SuperCharged Plan is for serious developers and 6 months duration is pretty short. We agreed with the feedback from supercharged users and are glad to double the duration to 1 year.
4. Renewals now possible for Supercharged
From now on SuperCharged can be renewed with 30% discount (rounded off to $200). Renewal option was not available earlier.
5. Free Installation & Migration service for Pro & Above
Pro and SuperCharged users can now request for free installation or migration support from our experts for free.
6. All Premium addons ($255) now free for Pro users
Apart from 35+ modules / plugins included in the JomSocial, the team over a period has developed 16+ Premium Modules/ Plugins. These are available to be purchased as bundle or single addon’s with price range of $14-$19 with total worth $255. These addon’s are now available for Free to Pro and SuperCharged users.
