Shall I choose jomsocial or peepso/buddypress

Following are critical features needed

Multisite & SSO
Classifieds
Invite friends as in facebook (contacts from email accounts yahoo, hotmail, gmail etc)
Scalability, security & sleek code (minimum load on servers)
Ability to handle heavy traffic ( considering hosting on high end servers)

I need solid conviction on chooosing jomsocial or buddypress before I proceed to start a serious networking website

Thanks

Hi Raj,

We only can suggest you to use Peepso or Jomscial instead :)

Right now only Jomsocial which has lots features, Peepso is very good as well, but peepso just born, the features are limited... yet there not like Jomsocial.

So if you want I suggest you use Jomsocial, with Jomsocial you can integrate with another 3rd party Joomla component, so you can achive what you needs.

thank you

How about multisite & single sign on between network of sites ?
How about classifieds ? It's an important feature needed for our network ..

Any I trust joomla more than wordpress for security & scalability but features / plug-ins are far less in joomla or joomsocial ..

Any how I need to talk to an joomsocial expert to clarify my questions
Do you provide phonr support

Thanks

Hi.

JomSocial is an EXTENSION for Joomla! that means it's only a brick in a huge building that may site based on Joomla! to be.
It's also a community builder extension.
Features you ask are not strictly community related.
So JomSocial doesn't have multisite or classifieds.

Multisite feature is rather related with Joomla! than JomSocial as all user creation and logins are handled by it. JomSocial just follows Joomla! here.

The same goes for classifieds - this is not strict community issue but totaly different field of expertise.

Joomla! has a great flexibility and you may combine a lot of different extensions - Joomla! user account is shared between them so one login handles access to all extensions.

So you should rather focus on looking for additional extensions for Joomla! that will fit your needs like:

extensions.joomla.org/extension/multi-sites
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extensi...liates/ad-agency-pro

Other question is if they could be directly integrated with JomSocial - e.g to show data from one extension on JS stream or in user profile.
In some cases integration is available - for some not. But even then it could be made by skilled developers (or on your own if you're skilled enough). Please, note that we don't develop integrations or features on demand.


- 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
