JomSocial Profile Type (JSPT): A Joomla Musketeer
Anjan Dhar , 23 April, 2013
The heading is what its intended from JS
Profile Type to be - "A Joomla Musketeer". On 23th April
2009 the first commercial copy of JSPT went on air and started selling.
It's been 4 years since then and JSPT has grown manifolds with
JomSocial.
Yes, it's the fourth anniversary, we want to celebrate
with our friends.

Back in 2008 I (<a href="http://www.jpayplans.com/blog/item/shyam-sunder-verma.html" target="_blank">Shyam</a>) was starting to get captivated by the freedom the
Open Source provides. I got aware of the Joomla and still today I am in
love with the community feel of Joomla or as I visualize it as a big
family looking after each other. I started it as a trial trying to
customize JomSocial for one of my hobby project. Then I amateurly
blogged out of enthusiasm, on my first experience for levels of
customizations that one can achieve in it, one of the visitor to my
blog felt in need of my customization knowledge and asked me for this
feature. I worked it out for him and soon, many others followed the
suit demanding the custom work. It was then that I felt <em>"it's
required by all"</em>. With this urge, I developed my custom work into
a component, refined and tweaked it and started trading it under the
name of <a href="http://www.joomlaxi.com/jomsocial-profile-type.html" target="_blank">JomSocial Profile Type in short JSPT</a>.

<h3 style="text-align: left;">What Challenges our team faced ?</h3>
<div>
<br/></div>
<div>
We started out as a team of just three individuals. Out of which only I
was quite aware of Joomla working and its cores. The most typical for
us was to keep up with the professional team of JomSocial as well as
Joomla. Sleepless nights and weary days were spent by us trying to keep
a track of the functionalities ruled out by the JomSocial team and new
ones adopted by them. So, that we may be able to provide the best
error-free product to our user. Not only that Joomla was even
optimizing itself time to time and giving us challenges in managing the
core hacks. But, we somehow managed it and were able to complete the
scheduled task in time.

<h3 style="text-align: left;">Future Aspect of JSPT.</h3>
<div>
<br/></div>
<div>
The evolution of JSPT has mainly been governed till now by four
principal factors namely-
</div>
<div/>
<ul><li>Joomla versions</li>
<li>Jomsocial updates</li>
<li>Consumer Demand </li>
<li>Time Constraints</li>
</ul><br/><div>
With the stable release of screen responsive Joomla 3, team Jomsocial
has decided moving a notch up with their arrival of JomSocial 3.0. I
hope all are expecting many new features, so are we âº. We have planned
to restructure JSPT as per the new developments in JomSocial 3.0.
Moreover we have marked this year as the <em><strong>U</strong>ser
<strong>I</strong>nterface</em> improvement year. So, many beautiful
and functional changes are imminent to arrive in JSPT. For which we
will be deploying our time trusted <em>RB Framework</em>.
