I installed the JS G-Kunena and am glad I did. Thank you for this forums and allowing me to meet up with such a wonderful developer as Cesar of JS G-Kunena. I understand the benefit of opensource and free but also respect the minimal share charge many of these commercial developments require. I hope this opensource subjective forum allows for better development of this hybrid Kunena/Jomsocial component. Learning abou the existance of opensource,Joomla, Kunena, etc

I wanted this feature and asked for it on all the freelance boards and in Kunena. I had bids and contracted for unsuessful development. Then I found JS G-Kunena . Oh my god this is the ticket. I am as excited about this as when I first found JomSocial in May of 09. I dig swimming pools for a living in California USA and am realistic with my webmaster ability so I asked the developer to install it for me on my dev.site first. He skype talked me off the ledge and now I am a pro.
I have a subscription camping club (Rainbowrv.com) with regional JS groups. California, NewJersey ,Ohio........ I installed Kunena then set up a catagory for regional groups. within that category I made a forum for each JomSocial group (enable the kunena forum) . in the back end of JS G-Kunena Component you assign each JS -group to a Kunena-Forum. then make a post from with in the group. I asked him to see if he could make the group members subscribed to the forum by default and he added this feature a day later with an upgrade. there is now a toggle for this in the backend.
I hope this makes my groups more active. There is more reason to join a group and now if I can find how to turn on group photos, there would be one other reason. I was thinking of having the developer replace group anouncements with a Azrul blog that the group creator has control of but want to wait while we learn member reaction to this. (can you tell I am excited) I enabled a Kunena mod "Latest Forum Post" on the front page/registered. when you sign into the site as a member you can then see the latest post. The Kunena forum front end page repeats the independent groups discussions and there is two was for members to get involved in activities/discussions/threads. I was against sending total email of a post and only wanted to send an announcement (which is an option in Kunena) but now see that member click the link at the email anyway.
My site has 800 members and requires a subscription to get into members areas, the larges of 18 groups has 60somthin members and little activity. If you are truly interested I can let you see the new JS G-Kunena hybrid tool with a limited screen name and password (don't worry there is no orientation requirement, just polite respect) my email is
