JomSocial Expired Socialize Expired

hi, i want to create a little social network for who want to works and who already works in fashion industry.
- so the mayor interest page should be the list page of the users, with his career visible ("designers", "models", "hair stylists"..)
- the career field should be strictly "linked" to the username, it should be shown below the username everytime in every part of the component (for this obiouvlsy im available and able to make some php integration to the original code)
- the users could became "fan" or "friend" of other users
- the users could add photos, videos, files (like their resume) to their profile
- the users could be easily invite their contacts on the site (i already have Parainvite license)
- does jomsocial has "smart" mail "facebook like": "we miss you on SITE.com" and similar?
- there is a chance to make the home of a profile more interesting with personal info, photos and videos in one page?
- is jomsocial multilingual (obiouvsly i have to make my edits to the language files)? mainly i need italian and english but other language too.
- do jomsocial allow a complete customization of the profile structure (i mean for me, the developer, not for the user) i want to delete the profle cover and some other stuff too similar to facebook
- how jomsocial is connected to other social networks?
- what the users could actually do on the site for spent the time?
- there is somy kind of point system like Alphauserpoints? or there is an alphauserpoints integration?
- there is still a full-features trial version of jomsocial?

please some expert or kind admin answer to each question carefully, i think its clear im coming from another joomla social component, im valuating the migration, desipite 4 months and almost a thousand hours of personal work.

This can be achieved by using custom profile fields. Those fields could be searchable so users with certain value in field e.g. "Designer" could be listed as a search query. Search query creates a link e.g yoursite.org/friends-2/search/field.html?FIELD_CITY=Designers so you can use this link every where that fits you.

Yes, this is not available out-of-the-box but could be achieved by views customization.

There is only option to by a "friend" of other users. Adding a new option will require a lot of core hackings and could be... well not easy.

alfredopacino wrote: - the users could add photos, videos, files (like their resume) to their profile


Yes, every user has it own album linked to profile. Albums (or photos... or videos) could be private, visible only for site members or friends only. JomSocial not allow to upload other files than photos or videos... but don't worry. Remember that JomSocial works on great framework as it is Joomla! And JomSocial users are also users of Joomla! So in JED you could find few extensions (paid or free) that will extend your community features.

As Parainvite developers stated they fully integrated their app with JomSocial. So it will work together as they promise.

I'm not sure about what feature you need in this case. Could you tell me more?

alfredopacino wrote: - there is a chance to make the home of a profile more interesting with personal info, photos and videos in one page?


Yes, but it will require bunch of view customizations.

Translations are contributed by community. You create language file by your own (just translate content of en-GB.com_community.ini) or join community on Transifex.com . Also, always you can use Joomla! language override feature.

Yes, you can do any customization that fits you. JomSocial is an Open Source :)

alfredopacino wrote: - how jomsocial is connected to other social networks?


It depends what you mean by "connection". You can connect JomSocial with Facebook so users could log in from their FB account (some data will be imported form FB). JomSocial has also social bookmarking integration so you and your users could share content via Facebook, del.icio.us, Digg, Windows Live, Stumbleupon, Furl, Blinklist, G Bookmarks, Google+, Diigo, My Space, Twitter, Xanga, Bebo, Twine, Blogmarks, Faves, AIM, Technorati, LinkedIn, Y! Bookmarks, Newsvine.

This totally depends on you :) But we have some clues: www.jomsocial.com/blog/is-your-social-network-empty-and-sad

alfredopacino wrote: - there is somy kind of point system like Alphauserpoints? or there is an alphauserpoints integration?


There are both. Users gain "karma" for activities but also you can integrate Alpha User Points with JomSocial... and then further extend it e.g combining with Virtuemart (users gain points for shopping or spent points on shopping).

alfredopacino wrote: - there is still a full-features trial version of jomsocial?


Yes, there is: instant.jomsocial.com/

if you'll have further question, please do not hesitate to post them here. I'll help as much as I can.


- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

- Use the "Thank You" feature on any post that helped you
