JomSocial site has been running on Joomla 2.5 since 2013. I dreaded migrating it to Joomla 3. It’s a complex site. We use a heavily customized Kunena forum and a really old version of DigiStore, a product that we no longer develop ourselves.
Over the last few months, things started to fall apart.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Like Santa and three wise men, we come bearing gifts. JomSocial 4.3 is ready! We spent months improving the great features you’re already using, and we’ve developed a bunch of new ones.
It’s stable, filled with goodies and just works! Take a look at the changelog too.
JomSocial Beta 1 and Beta 2 were a huge success. They passed all our expectations by a mile and received very warm and positive feedback from users.
Two and a half years ago, we declared that we would improve the testing process we use before releasing new versions. It took a lot of work to create that new testing system but we are now collecting the fruit from all that hard labor. The newest versions are going out with a ridiculously small number of bugs, as our open beta bug report forum shows.
So it’s a great pleasure to already be able to announce the official JomSocial 4.3 Release Candidate.
The latest JomSocial release is an important security patch. The patch brings a fix for potential exploits allowing unrestricted access to data in the database. Due to the nature of the vulnerability and in order to protect customer sites, we will not disclose the issue, but we urge you to update the site as soon as possible.
For the full list of other changes, you may refer to the changelog page.
JomSocial 4.3 is packed with amazing new features. This is a short list of all the great additions you can find in the latest version of JomSocial.
After few months of development, plenty of webdriver tests and gallons of coffee, the code-crunching code is over! We can crack open a beer and celebrate… and you can download JomSocial 4.3 Beta 1!
This time around we are giving all our license holders the opportunity to download and experiment with a beta version. So what are you waiting for? It’s awesome, go play with it!
Creating a custom profile to make your site unique has always been easy in JomSocial. Administrators could choose from a range of different fields and build a profile form specifically for their communities.
In our latest lab post, we show how simple it will be in JomSocial 4.3 to change the group default cover and avatar using Theme Designer.
We are excited to announce the immediate availability of JomSocial 4.2.5. This is a minor bugfix release that includes under-the-hood improvements and fixes issues reported since the last update. To see the full list of changes, refer to the changelog page.
