Important *NEW* CB Profile Template 2

As many of you know I have been working on CB Profile Template 2 both for myself and a client. Unfortunately I have start many new ventures along with school and some client projects which have kept pushing the design back further and further.

Now however, since a client is in need of something similar I am pushing forward and have made some progress I would like to share.

The image includes the following new features as apposed to CB Template 1:
1 (Module For Favorites, Bookmarking, Sharing)
2 (Module for Quick Navigation Menu)
3 (Customized "WhatAreYouDoing" plugin AJAX Version)
4 (Customized CB Menu)
5 (Customized Connections Display)
Etc...

Some of the styling has to speak for itself.

Please expect a formal release date in the coming days.



Thanks,
James

This looks great James looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Thank you!

I hope to have it bug free in the following days.

Because I forgot to take a screenshot large enough to view the Tabs they still resemble that of my first CB template. For a preview see here:



Thanks,
James

I hope you do a dark version too

What are you using for PMs?

Put a screenshot of customized connections.

Groups are groupjuve no?

Dark Version.... good idea! I will add this to my thought process... time maybe the factor.

PMS - "WAS" using UddeIM, testing SuperMessenger right now from www.axxis.gr (Both do the same thing in terms of PM display but UddeIM has more admin features.)

Groups - "WAS" using Groupjive, testing SuperGroups right now from www.axxis.gr
(SuperGroups seems stable and is update with bugs and features almost daily)

Customized Connections is nothing really, I am just reducing some of the inner/padding which makes them too large. I would preffer to have 12 connections on a page rather than 10 by reducing some of the padding. I also am not a fan of the border so I am changing this up and may add a custom background. Depends on how it looks on mine/my customers site.

I need to give you guys my UddeIM PM Mod to make it in a MODAL box.

Unfortunately I could not come up with a decent solution to make it work perfectly. None the less I will share so that maybe someone else can finish it.

This is really Good Work James

Is looking pretty good

I prefer groupjive over supergroups, first is free, second, has been overtaken by CB team so you can expect the best integration possible, and it integrates with kunena too! Also, it includes photos, and HWDphotoshare is planned to integrate with groupjive, counting I already use it for videos...

I need to give you guys my UddeIM PM Mod to make it in a MODAL box.

You may not believe it, but I've been talking with beat and matias last twodays seeing how the JS PM effect in kunena could be replicated with uddeIM

Modal boxes for your plugin selection are loadin pretty slow

axxis products seem pretty good, but I see them someway overprized

I find the current CB competitor for JS could be

CB+UddeIM+HWDMEdiashare+Supergroups+SuperActivity

Desired would be_
CB+UddeIM+HWDMediaShare+GroupJive+Official activity plugin (word from Beat, will be ready soon)

Johnny, I see all great points however Groupjive isn't moving at a fast enough pace for me and I don't have the time to build the necessary plugins for it myself and Supergroups although a little pricey to me seems worth it.

The biggest benefit I have found with SuperGroups, and ALL other Axxis.gr products I have purchased is that they are always being update and new features are constantly being add. The customer support is also unbelievable.

For CB, I am still an acid supporter compared to commercial products such as JomSocial however, often times advancements are slow so for the time being I MUST use products that offer me the features I have to have. As well as the ones my clients will be demanding. I think that Groupjive has the potential.... I just hope the developers see it as well.

I was also not aware that CB Team was developing an Activity plugin... they also do not advertise these things on their site often enough. Groupjive status on the frontpage is still set at Beta3????

The PluginSelection for CB is meant to mimic that of JomSocial... although I am not fond of the MooTools slides I am going to be changing this soon with a tabbed feature. This will come in handy with Krileon's CB Tab in Component Wrapper which by the way works wonders for removing that pesky CBSubs Tab from the users Profile. *Hint*

All in All I LOVE all the communitys support for all project Joomla! related. I think we as a group are making huge leaps and bounds with these new codes, designs and integrations. The biggest question for me is Whats Next?

James

Yes, I can see that, I've been pretty tempted myself to get some of these products, but as far as I see, they are overprized... cost of activites stream, groups and messaging are way over jomsocial price (taht is not cheap either ), having to rely on a 3rd party software that could change in any moment rendereing them useless... not counting is not even a screen like in Jomsocial, but a module.

So, I decided to stay on the safe side (money wise) and support the "free" products, as at the end, they are the base, and are developing their own solutions for all needed...

This is what I miss more in CB, a Community frontpage as you can find in jomsocial. USerlist are something of the past.
