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.

<h3 style="text-align: left;"><span>Why we started with our first project
?</span></h3>

<div>
    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 ☺. 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>.
