Question *NEW* Community Builder Template

Hi hjames!! I think CB is a great Community Platform, but the templates by default make it very ugly. Your template, as i can see, would be the best way to make CB the greatest.

Maybe you know it, but i'm going to show these site, i think this template have great ideas and a goodlooking scene:

builder.joomlapraise.com/

¡¡Thank you for your hours and your work!!

Actually, that template gave me some inspiration to get things done as I started with it and then after a few hours of piddling with it I decided not to use it. So, now I am back with the Default template modified the way I like it to look.

MY site is based on professional's and I felt that the layout I devised offered a very professional look and feel both for Individuals and Companies who may choose to create a profile.

My biggest problem I had with "praisebuilder" was that it loads I think the "RIGHT" module position from within the template and this would have been fine but I just didn't like it. Had they named it "Right-PB" or something like that it would be different because then it wouldn't be called on other pages. Anyhow, thats besides the point because its easy to change and easy to remove for someone with little to no code experience and a simple understanding of how Joomla! functions.

Next, I HATE the abnormally large tabs... whats up with that? I want my users profiles to be full of information and not bulky/cluttering/over-bearing brown blobs on the screen! "No offense Joomlapraise."

Anyhow, yea back to the point!

Joomlapraise did show that its possible to style CB to look pretty slick and I capitalized on it and feel as though I took two already excellent social platforms and am building extensions/plugins for them that hopefully bring eachothers Positive Features together.

Grumble... I wrote like a page response yesterday and I guess my hand had a spazm??? But somehow I hit the back page button on my keyboard and everything was gone. The luck ehh?

Hi James,

out of curiousity, did you ask Azrul's team if you can redistribute their JomSocial's default template and make a CB version?
Also you may want to read JomSocial's license agreement:
www.jomsocial.com/license-agreement.html

First, its not JomSocial's template it just looks like it.

Second, their license does not apply to this so its irrelevant. Had I built it in JomSocial's framework then it would matter but it is built in Community Builder and hasn't a LICK of JomSocial code, just the look and feel.

Third, the images will be changing soon enough I just haven't had time to fire up Photoshop and do my magic.

Anything else?

Last post came off HARSH and was not meant to be.. lol!

My bad - I know your probably just looking out for everyones best interest.

Well, it's more than 'just looks like it'.
Also, the default jomsocial template comes with the paid package. Templates are part of the 'source code' of JomSocial package.

It's like selling jomsocial templates made off of joomla templates like rockettheme, joomlart or yootheme (to match joomla templates). Those graphics (icons, menu bars) are copyrighted and no one can sell jomsocial templates made with copyrighted graphics.

I think there wouldn't be problems as long as you won't sell it. It would be ok if you share it for free.

MODIFICATION. You may modify the component source code for your own use only. The term and codition of this License Agreement will still apply. Redistribution of any modification is not allowed without a written permission from JomSocial.com

Anyway, you'd better ask Azrul first.
