Joomla 2.5.5 has just been released.
However there appear to be issues and bugs that have already been reported and Joomla 2.5.5 has broken CB 1.8 user saving process.
At this point we must recommend that existing Joomla installation should not upgrade to Joomla 2.5.5 and wait for next (hopefully soon) Joomla 2.5.6 release.
The CB Team is temporarily dropping all current in progress activities to work-around these Joomla 2.5.5 issues and to release a Community Builder 1.8.1 package as soon as possible.
[UPDATE 1] A quick fix for Joomla 2.5.5 breaking the CB 1.8 user save is now provided here.
Add easy inline editing to Community Builder user profiles and lists with the new CB Core Fields Ajax 1.0 Incubator release.
Simply install this CB plugin on your Joomla 2.5 (or 1.5) CB 1.8 website and then enable front-end profile in-line editing on you existing CB fields.
Your CB moderators can conveniently make inline changes to member data directly from CB user list viewing.
All core CB field types are supported: text, text area, editor, avatar, image, checkbox, multi-select checbox, drop-down, multi-select drop-down, radio, integer, date, email and web-address!
Your Community Builder users will love this quick, easy and fun profile updating method!

With the new CB Blogs 3.0 release blogging is simple, easy and fun!
Members can create and manage blogs directly from their CB user profile and can view other blogs by visiting other user profiles.
CB Blogs 3.0 provides Blog moderation by CB moderators. If blog approval is configured, your CB moderators will receive a notification approval message. The email includes the submitted blog title and links to the member profile and to the general blogs approval page.
CB Blogs can be configured to store blogs as Joomla articles. This way you can take advantage of Joomla content layouts to present your users' blogs on your website. And since blogs are Joomla articles, all Joomla content commenting solutions are applicable and can be used!
If you are using K2, you can choose to have user blogs stored as K2 content elements. This way you can build upon existing Community Builder and K2 integration and use K2 built-in commenting support for your CB Blogs!
Alternatively, CB Blogs also provides its own internal efficient storage engine for high volume blogs. This keeps blogs and articles separate and optimizes performance for each.
CB Blogs 3.0 supports blog categorization and Joomla Access Levels for individual blogs (including Joomla 2.5 ACL).
CB Blogs 3.0 is stable and ready to power your Community Builder 1.8 websites working on any Joomla version environment (including the latest Joomla 2.5.4).
Here are some screenshots illustrating the functionality that this Professionaladd-on can bring to your website. This is just one of the 31+ powerful Professional add-ons you can get as a Professional or Developer member on Joomlapolis.

The CB Facebook Connect 1.9 and CB Twitter Connect 1.4 plugins have just been released as free upgrades for all Advanced, Professional and Developer members.
Both can be downloaded from the: Advanced Download area.
All identified bugs have been fixed and both plugin now support terms and conditions acceptance during the initial sign-up workflow.
The CB Twitter plugin now prompts user to provide a valid email address in order to complete sign-up (as the Twitter API does not provide email address). Normal CB email confirmation workflow is also supported for provided email address.
Upgrading is a simple install over existing previous versions. No changes need to be made on the Facebook or Twitter application side. Documentation has also been updated.
And as with all our CB plugins, these work natively on all versions of Joomla (Joomla 2.5.4 also)!
Community Builder 1.8 is required for both plugins.
The Joomlapolis Incubator has released a new CB Invites plugin version 2.0 with the invite code feature.
With this new release you can empower your existing members to send personalized invitations to their friends prompting them to join your website.
Each invitation is accompanied by a unique randomly generated invite code that is used to track successful invitation that have been converted to new membership events.
The invite code is a CB field that can also be marked as required during the registration process.
This way, you can easily create a membership site that only allows new registrations based on valid invite codes (sent by existing member invitations).
There is also a configuration sending to automatically create a connection between the two users involved (person inviting and person accepting invitation).
Here are some screenshots illustrating the functionality that this single Incubator add-on can bring to your website. This is just one of the 31+ powerful add-ons you can get as a Professional or Developer member on Joomlapolis.
