JomSocial and iJoomla are now part of JoomlArt. All users with active licenses for JomSocial or any other iJoomla product are entitled to get JA Joomla Page Builder Pro for free. The system is now ready.
I founded iJoomla in 2006 and over the years, my team and I have created some of the most popular extensions for Joomla, including iJoomla Magazine, Guru, Ad Agency, iSEO and many more. In 2013 I acquired JomSocial and we got to work improving its usability, stability, functionality and user satisfaction. We also implemented testing automation which I believe is the best thing we’ve ever done.
Joomla 3.7 is coming soon and we are all excited for its new roster of awesome features. But it does come with a warning. The new features will affect almost all JomSocial translations and render them obsolete.
If you are a translator or have a multilingual website, you will need to make a minor update to your language files.
JomSocial 4.3.3 is an important bugfix release and we advise you to update immediately. It contains critical issues that affect group discussion privacy. To see the full list of changes, please visit the changelog page.
In today’s release, we don’t just have one product update to announce, we’ve got an entire line of updated JomSocial products... and some completely new ones. So grab a cup of coffee, sit back end enjoy the great news.
JomSocial 4.3.1 marks the first bugfix release of the 4.3 series and brings some much needed improvements to existing features. This is a cumulative bugfix release that contains all the bugfixes for confirmed issues reported before January 25th. To see the full list of changes, please visit the changelog page.
In my last blog post, I explained how we had to give up our heavily hacked Kunena forum in order to migrate JomSocial.com to the new site. If you ever used our previous forum, you know it had some pretty cool features:
JomSocial site has been running on Joomla 2.5 since 2013. I dreaded migrating it to Joomla 3. It’s a complex site. We use a heavily customized Kunena forum and a really old version of DigiStore, a product that we no longer develop ourselves.
Over the last few months, things started to fall apart.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Like Santa and three wise men, we come bearing gifts. JomSocial 4.3 is ready! We spent months improving the great features you’re already using, and we’ve developed a bunch of new ones.
It’s stable, filled with goodies and just works! Take a look at the changelog too.
JomSocial Beta 1 and Beta 2 were a huge success. They passed all our expectations by a mile and received very warm and positive feedback from users.
Two and a half years ago, we declared that we would improve the testing process we use before releasing new versions. It took a lot of work to create that new testing system but we are now collecting the fruit from all that hard labor. The newest versions are going out with a ridiculously small number of bugs, as our open beta bug report forum shows.
So it’s a great pleasure to already be able to announce the official JomSocial 4.3 Release Candidate.
