Many businesses today turn the focus on social networking as part of their online marketing strategies to promote their products or services and to engage customers. There are many businesses that make use of new and creative ways to utilize social networking to connect with their customers at a more personal level.
As you might notice, JomSocial is undergoing a new site redesign. We started with our store page, move to front page and currently we are updating our feature page.
Email is most probably older than Internet but as with Internet, it is still highly relevant today. Now, there are a lot of tools that might supersede email such as Twitter, Facebook and other social networking sites that makes email look archaic. However, as old as it may seem, email is still a powerful communication tool. As an open source community software user, it will be even more useful.
Last Friday, we had the honor of having one of the Joomla! core developer, Sam Moffatt in our office. He spent a couple of hours with JomSocial team and gave us some personal insights into the upcoming Joomla! 1.6.
I can tell you that we are pretty excited with Joomla! 1.6 and what it offers. As far as JomSocial is concerned, we will certainly make our code runs smoothly with Joomla! 1.6, making JomSocial the best open source social networking software for Joomla! 1.6. Work on this has already begun and in fact other than some plugin issues, we are almost good to go.
We have released an update to JomSocial 1.6, bringing the version number to 1.6.291 to fix a security issue found recently. This patch addresses an issue where attackers might be able to execute arbitrary Javascript. We recommend all of our customers to apply the patch immediately.
The team at JomSocial celebrates lots of birthdays! Mark recently turn 2x and we had a small celebrations at Itallianies and I thought I'd share this .. :-)
While we work day and night to finish up the upcoming JomSocial 1.8, I would like to take a moment to introduce a new API which is extremely handy for plugin developers.
What we just added to JomSocial 1.8, is the ability for JomSocial plugin to intercept the rendering of any form and inject their own HTML code into the form. Perhaps it would be best if I explain this visually.
In the spirit of bringing the latest trend to Joomla users, JomSocial has released the latest social networking scripts - Facebook extensions, to provide better web experience for Joomla users. JomSocial members (including active and non-active subscribers) can download the plugins and modules for free to fully utilize their social present on Facebook.
