eLearning is exploding! Sites like Lynda.com and Udemy.com are already making millions selling online courses. And you know what?

So can you.

Three years ago, we released an amazing eLearning system called “Guru.” This powerful extension allows you to create courses and generate passive income through online education. Guru has evolved very nicely since then, becoming ever more powerful and feature-rich. You can check out Guru’s website to learn more, or try our demo to see just what it can do. It’s very cool.

Whether you have an online community and want to start selling online courses or have an online training website and want to add a social spark, this integration is for you!

We’ve brought together two natural partners: Guru’s learning platform and JomSocial’s community features. It’s a perfect match. And it’s the start of a beautiful new future for all iJoomla products.

We've just released a fantastic new version of our JomSocial tempalte - Socialize! Version 1.2.5. This version has fixes to all known bugs plus a few new features:

JomSocial version 3.1.1 is out!

Yes, I know. You were expecting version 3.2. It’s coming, really soon! (currently testing internally and beta is coming next week).

In the meantime, it was important for us to release a version with a bunch of bug fixes and a new security fix to a vulnerability that was reported by a customer.

You can see the list of all the bugs that were fixed for this release on our change log. There are few known bugs that we didn’t get to fix for this release, these will be included on the next major release, version 3.2, you can find a list of these bugs here.

In October, we announced the release of JomChat - the chat platform specially designed for JomSocial by the team at Blooie.

Today, we’re delighted to tell you new features are available!

When it comes to getting free traffic for your website, there’s no better strategy than SEO. It’s effective, it’s important, it pays… and it’s about as much fun as washing dishes.

Which is why at iJoomla, we created the first ever SEO component for Joomla. “Meta Tags Generator” was launched back in 2006 and has made SEO work on Joomla much, much easier. It has since evolved into a much more powerful SEO solution called iSEO (or iJoomla SEO).

Yesterday we released version 3.1.0.4 which fixes two vulnerabilities.

As a result of the first vulnerability, our own site was hacked. Thankfully, our security experts spotted the attack very quickly and our developers raced out a patch. The information of how to exploit this vulnerability can be found easily by hackers, so you should upgrade right away, to protect your site.

While we were blocking that attack, we also spotted another vulnerability: the opportunity to exploit CStringHelper::escape function to execute eval method. With this new fix, hackers will no longer be able to execute eval function. It’s all a bit technical, but the point is: it’s fixed and we were able to prevent a potential problem.

All JomSocial site admins are encouraged to upgrade to this version as soon as possible.

You can download this latest version on our "My Licenses" page.

It’s great to have popular site, a site that with organic traffic that’s loved by users… until it starts to attract spammers.

And it will attract spammers. They’ll come looking for Google juice by adding links back to their own sites. They’re hoping that those links will increase their site relevancy and win higher positions in search results.
