Community Builder 2.0.13 is here and is ready for upcoming Joomla 3.5
Download it now - it's free and super stable

Community Builder 2.0.13 is a maintenance release that fixes 21 bugs and adds 6 new features (PHP 7 compatibility, Bootstrap and Fontawesome updates - see forum discussion for full changelog) paving the way for the upcoming Joomla 3.5 release.

CB 2.0+ websites can be upgraded to latest CB 2.0.13 using the built-in Joomla upgrader or with a simple install over (precautionary backup always recommended) as all previous settings are kept.

The CB Primer Book is valid and the CB 2.0 Add-on compatibility chart has been updated.

CB 2.0.13 now supports PHP 5.3.3 to PHP 7. Please note that Joomla 3.5 will be needed for PHP 7 support, as Joomla 3.4 is not PHP 7 compatible.

Paid members can download CB Core Ajax Fields 3.0.0

Making CB Field editing easier and quicker is simple with the new CB Core Ajax Fields 3.0 release that supports inline editing on profile pages and even on user lists!

Just install, publish it and then configure each CB Field you want for inline editing.

Once configured, a mouse over on a field will reveal the edit icon that will let you quickly update the specific field value.

This is a huge usability improvement for your users and also a life saver for moderators that need to edit many users directly in user list views.

"Security is an ongoing journey: The best way to stay safe is to always stay up-to-date" says Beat (CB Team and JSST - Joomla Security Strike Team member).

The previous Joomla 3.4.6 critical security release triggered an in depth security investigation by the JSST Team to better understand the true nature and cause of this vulnerability.

This "follow the code" process has identified the root cause of this issue down to a specific PHP security bug, already fixed on 4th September 2015 in PHP 5.4.45, 5.5.29 and 5.6.13 (and also in all PHP 7 releases) and also in all major Linux distributions back in September 2015

In an effort to help secure Joomla against poorly maintained hosting environments, the Joomla project has released Joomla 3.4.7 along with Joomla 2.5 and 1.5 code fixes.

This means that:

• All Joomla 3.4 websites should be upgraded to Joomla 3.4.7
• All Joomla 2.5/1.5 websites that cannot upgrade to Joomla 3 should apply the EOL Security Hotfixes

These actions will protect your Joomla core installation against this specific PHP bug.

You should make sure that your hoster continuously security-maintains your PHP/LINUX environment to keep it up to date (Joomlapolis Hosting does).

Please note that Community Builder 2.0.12 runs just fine with Joomla 3.4.7 (no backwards compatibility issues) and Community Builder's sessions management is not affected by this PHP secutity bug.

The Joomla project has just released Joomla 3.4.6 to address a Critical Vulnerability.

You must act immediately and update or patch all your Joomla 3.x/2.5/1.5. sites to this latest release.

The vulnerability is also present in discontinued Joomla 2.5 and 1.5 series (Joomla 1.0 is ok). If you still have sites running off these old Joomla versions you must patch them appropriately.

So to quickly help you act please follow these instructions:

• For all your Joomla 3.x websites
  you should upgrade now to Joomla 3.4.6
• For all your Joomla 2.5.28 websites you should
  download and apply the Joomla 2.5.28 patch
• For all your Joomla 1.5.26 websites you should
  download and apply the Joomla 1.5.26 patch

This is really important! If you are reading this, you should stop what you are doing and start updating/patching all your websites now.

There is no need to delay. The Joomla 3.4.6 package only addresses the vulnerabilities and will not break anything you have installed upgrading from 3.4.5 to 3.4.6 (including of course Community Builder 2.0.12).

If your website is not patched and your hosting does not have proper security counter-measures (btw - our hosting has already blocked thousands of attackers), you are at risk - protect your websites now !
