CB Connect 4.0 has just been released!
The already extremely powerful social networking integration plugin for Community Builder has been completely rewritten with faster page loading, new responsive layouts, improved registration workflows and better compatibility with third-party social networking scripts.
All core CB Connect features are supported including latest integration (login, field data syncing and 12 social apps) with:
- Google+
- Windows live
CB Connect 4.0 is a recommended upgrade.
Twitter has changed its protocols, thus breaking previous versions of CB Connect. The improved compatibility and non-conflicting nature of CB Connect 4.0 are also strong reasons to upgrade.
Kyle has already posted a detailed forum entry about this new release and major changes
The Joomla project has just released Joomla CMS 3.1 beta 1 and will be releasing Joomla 3.1 stable in a couple of weeks (March 25th, 2013).
There are 5 new features in Joomla 3.1. The most prominent one is the new Tags functionality for Joomla content elements. This new feature lets you tag (mark) any content element (article, contact, etc.) and later on search for all elements of a specific tag.
The CB Team has also contributed a small new feature by adding missing triggers to the com_config component - every little contribution helps make our Joomla CMS even better.
Everyone can help, you can also:
