Integration with JomSocial

I would like to see integration with the new JomSocial-component from Azrul. One place for profile and avatar is what I am looking for.

Any news on this one?

Re: Integration with JomSocial

JooBB isnt stable software itself yet, so I wouldnt hold your breathe

Re: Integration with JomSocial

I would say .... keep Joobb! as clean as possible.
Straight and fast.
All other shit not in the core code but by plugins.

The more options in the backpanel the more .......

In my opinion I hope the forum will be and stay the core component and
connections to what ever are done by plugins. All ready lot of those components you've to pay for.

Thinking about it, It wouldnt really need a great deal of work actually. The only thing that would need changing is the calling of avatar image from Jomsocial and usernames to link to Jomsocial profiles rather than JooBB's.

No other info is displayed that is from users profiles and the sessions are controlled by Joomlas core anyway.

Or am I wrong?

Re: Integration with JomSocial

Right I have had 5 minutes to look into this and heres how simple it is......(I think)

All what would be required is a drop down box in the admin side of JooBB to select the profile type which is to be used.

Example:

Profile to use
|
|-------JooBB
|
|-------JomSocial
|
|-------Community builder


The reason this "should be" simple is the user ids remain exactly the same in all 3 cases, for instance admin would always be ID=62. The only thing needing alteration is the actual link instead of

Code

index.php?option=com_joobb&view=profile&id=62

it would be

Code

community/profile.html?userid=62

Obviuosly they look different as the URL has been re-written on the JomSocial site, as its using SEF URL, but you should get the idea.

The same can be done for community builder also.

Avatars can be called from Jomsocial using the same type of method I assume. All that required is a variable which is controlled by the admin side.

As you may be able to tell I am not a programmer, so forgive my ignorance.

Spoken like a true front end designer lol....

Re: Integration with JomSocial

One last thing, using the same code from the recent post module for JooBB it might even be possible to also include that users posts on his prfile in jomsocial. Just alter it to filter the users posts by his/her account ID, then write it into Jomsocial code some how.
