With last 2 months review and user's demand we are propsing significant changes into JomSocial ProfileTypes next major version. The next version will be 2.0, because we are proposing lots of changes in the way system works. I am writing down all expected changes and expect all of you to participate in finalizing the features list.
"Its the version for which every website administrator running JomSocial dreamed about." Paid profile is about to be released. It will be an alpha version (means you can start testing the features, but cannot use on live-site). We like to share few details about its usage.
With the release of JSPT 1.3, what you will get ???? here are little summary You will be able to control JomSocial Applications as per Profile Type, see here in detail. You will be able to use recaptcha during registration ( I will post a separate blog for details) You can add user to certain group automatically, when join ( as per their profiletypes, obviously) More control over registration You can select which **Required** field should not be presented during **Registration**, the CB feature which we all miss in JomSocial a lot. You can hide "Edit Profile Page" second page during Registration You can hide "Avatar Selection Page" third page during Registration You can disallow few username/email domain to be registered. It means tight grip over registration.
Application control for profile types, was very demanding feature for Profile Types. This have been implemented and available in JSPT 1.3 release. This feature have been implemented in such a way that it does not depend upon the plugins installed already. Means you can control any of JomSocial Application, ir-respective of what time they have been installed. So you can add more applications down the line, and still control them.
In last 2 weeks we took community feedback for Paid Profile Types Integration with JS Profile Types. We thanks a lot to all of you, for suggestions. We are eager to implement this feature, but we are still little bit scared from AEC (Account Expiration Control).
**Problem:** I am running a cool site with JomSocial 1.1.145 and JomSocial Profile Types 1.1.13. I simply upgrades to JomSocial 1.2.195 and get the latest JSPT 1.2 RC2, and install it without looking into the instruction/warnings attached with products. The condition become more worse when your site is live. and it is worst if you cannot go back to previous working solution.
