JomSocial 1.2 – A major upgrade!

Azrul.com has released a major upgrade to their social networking extension JomSocial with the release of JomSocial 1.2.

JomSocial which is generally considered the #1 social networking component for Joomla sports many functions that you would want in any type of social web site.

The new home of all-things Linux @ www.linux.com is powered by JomSocial 1.2 – that alone should show the power of this Joomla component that offers functionalities such as user points, user groups, walls, private messaging, apps support and dynamic photo galleries; all built in.

The new JomSocial 1.2 now comes with:

Video

JomSocial 1.2x now comes with built-in VIDEO posting capabilities–fully integrated into the core so you and your users can upload videos directly to your community or embed videos from 3rd party video sharing sites–such as Youtube, Vimeo, Blip.tv, MySpace videos and more!

Facebook Connect

To make the registration process hassle-free at your community, we’ve introduced the new Facebook-Connect login-module in JomSocial 1.2 so your members can log-in to your JomSocial-powered community using their Facebook account details.

Wall Comments

Your members can now comment on their friends’ wall posts in JomSocial 1.2, just like Facebook® and other popular social networks! In previous versions, users could post to walls, but comments about wall posts were treated as separate posts. Not anymore…In JomSocial 1.2, your wall posts and their respective comments will all be on the same line, which makes it easier for you and your visitors to keep track of discussions as they unfold on your wall.

MyBlog 3.0 Integration

Blogs are a good way to keep new visitors to your site coming back for more! And in JomSocial 1.2, your members can have their very own blogs, post entries directly from their profile pages, and share those blog posts with friends via the New MyBlog3/JomSocial plugin (*MyBlog 3.0, a separate purchase, must first be installed on your server).
