Not one, two or three, but eight social networking sites are supported with the latest CB Connect 5.0 release!

Let your users sign-up and login to your website using credentials from any one of the following social networking sites: Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Windows live, Googe +, Instagram, Foursquare or GitHub.

This is by far the most complete social networking integration solution available for Joomla (1.5, 2.5 and 3.x) / CB (1.9) as it not only supports login and registration using credentials from 8 social networks, but it also lets you:

• store social networking profile data in Community Builder fields
• place users in Joomla ACL groups based on social network
  e.g., users signing up using Instagram can be placed in Registered and special Instagram group
• override Community Builder workflow settings
  e.g., users signing in using their Foursquare credentials are automatically confirmed not needed moderator approval
• redirect new users to page based on social network
  e.g., Github credential signups are redirected to a special welcoming page

You can also integrate the following social network specific applications as CB fields on your user profiles:

• Facebook social plugins (comments, facepile, like-recommend-send buttons, activity feed and recommendations)
• Twitter widgets (tweet and follow buttons)
• Google plugins (+1 and share buttons and Google badge)
• Linked in plugin (shared button) 

CB Connect 5.0 is available to all Professional and Developer members and as of today it is also available to Advanced members replacing the CB Facebook and CB Twitter connect plugins which are now discontinued.

We are just back from a fantastic J and Beyond (JAB13) Joomla conference, with an awesomely positive forward-looking perspective for Joomla!

This is the fourth conference we have attended and sponsored as CB Team members and Joomlapolis, and the experience has been even more positive and stronger than all previous editions combined.

We urge Joomla fans to attend one of these events in the future as it will surely be a fantastic experience.

For those who missed JAB13, and also for those who were there, but didn't find the PHP class to clone themselves, all JAB13 Program presentations have been recorded and 38 are already available for viewing!

There are many very interesting and intriguing talks to view, but as Joomlapolis site members you should definitely not miss our presentations:

• Implementation without coding using Community Builder framework solutions
  See Video | See Slides
• SELECT SHOW, EXPLAIN, HOWTO, OPTIMIZE FROM jos_SPEED_ME_UP
  See Video

As a result of yet another great JandBeyond event, Joomla momentum is moving forward on a number of fronts:

• Bug squashing during the JAB13 event was both fun and productive!
  Join Bug Squad | See JAB13 Bug Squashing Video
• JUX workgroup | See workgroup meeting video at JAB13 | Participate in the Joomla 3.2 UX forum
• FOF Workshop for a new framework library to make Joomla extension development easier and backwards compatible

If all this energy and forward thinking mentality holds we anticipate that the future Joomla 3.2 release will include exciting new features and concepts like:

• content versioning
• improved user experience in backend
• better frontend editing
• possibly improved extensions installation
• profiling of database queries

Mark your calendars now for JAB14 which will take place May 14th - June 1st, 2014 !
