I played around buddypress but really wasn't satisfied with the way it works,
anyways with jomsocial it looks better...but along with a social network i also want to add a store feature using virtuemart,
I have never tried joomla before so i am a bit concerned about whether i can pull it off....i don't want to hire anyone since it would mean more cost and i want to do it just to try and see what happens,
If i buy the license now the support period is supposed to be over after 6 months. i am not even sure i will be able to complete it within that time period since i will be doing it only in my free time,
i like the default theme of jomsocial but would like to know whether i will have to change it in order to add the store feature?
I'm extremly sorry for not getting back to you sooner but it looks like we had a real issue on our forum and some posts simply were not visible for us. Our developers already fixed the problem, so it shouldn't happen anymore. I hope this didn't create a problem for you
Back to your question:
That really depends on your needs, if you could explain to us a little bit more carefulyl what exactly you want to achieve then we'll be more then happy to clarify all of your concerns.
