CB Content Module 3.0 is available for download by paid members

CB Content module 3.0 has been released with a great new  timed content feature. Kyle has already blogged about this and in a nutshell this new feature lets you set a start and end date/time period and then specify what content is to appear before, during and after the specified period. CB substitutions can also be used for extra fine-tuning of your content.

The specific use case shown in the screenshot above has been implemented on our demo site.

If you have never explored the CB Content module, you should really take a closer look at it. It's basically a Joomla HTML module on stereoids!

In addition to just displaying HTML powered content in a module position, the CB Content module also does the following:

• Adds CSS code and URL specified CSS files to your page header
• Adds Javascript code and URL specified Javascript files to your page header
• Adds jQuery code and loads jQuery plugins to your page header

In addition to the use case shown on our demo site, here is a cool tutorial that illustrates the power of the CB Content module!

CB Field Groups is here and it's a game changer

CB Field Groups is a new CB plugin (included in Professional and Developer membership subscriptions) that adds a new Field Group field type to the CB Field Manager.

With this new feature you can configure groupings of fields that can appear on user profiles and you can configure things so your users can dynamically repeat instances of each grouping. In the sample screenshot above, we have configured a Phone field group where users can populate as many (phone type, number) pairs as they want (configurable for each field).

There are two built-in templates: default where each field in the group is displayed vertically or table where the group is displayed in a table like format (as in the screenshot).

There will be a tutorial for this new add-on, but in the meantime here is a quick 1-2-3 steps process:

1. Download, install and publish the new CB plugin (requires Community Builder 2.2.1 or better)
2. Using the CB Field manager create new placeholder fields (e.g., dropdown field for phone type and text field for phone number)
3. Again using the CB Field manager create a new Field Group field and in the field Parameters -> Display tab area select the fields you want to group (see step 2), the button label and the Group Limit (0 for no limit)

You now have a new fields group that your users can populate and add rows to as needed (and configured in step 3 limit).

You can actually see this exact use case in action on our demo site: tab CB Fields Group on the user profile and cb_fieldgroup in the CB Field Manager (to see the actual configuration).
