It appears a module that we leverage from a company called Brightcode is currently not working in conjunction with Joomla SEO's Search Friendy URL's active. We are looking for a solution and have brought this up to the company as an issue. We will hopefully find a resolution and we are tracking a possible solution here on this forum
Please be patient while we look for a solution.
Now that we have decided to go with JomSocial versus Community Builder I suppose it is time that we provide a review of likes and dislikes for Jom Social.
First let me start by saying we also had the lastest and greatest Community Builder running on another one of our sites (http://www.hosangit.com) to compare features of the two different Social networking tools.
Our goal with the social networking tool was to link all of our functions of the website to a user which would include:
- Other users (Buddies, Friends, Family)
- Share Photos (RSGallery2 or equivelent)
- Link Articles
- Link Forum (Fireboard, phpBB3, etc..)
With Community Builder this was pretty easy to do but was dirty or clumsy. The advantage of Community Builder is there is many developers for the social networking tool which means more plugins get developed faster.
A great article on zdnet's blog about how much Microsoft takes versus what Apple takes and after reading that article you tell me who the greedy gretchen is. Microsoft continues to bend its consumers over a barrel and all the consumers say is "Thank You, may I have another"
I utilize my Mac for personal and enterprise applications. I don't like the idea of having to carry around two seperate laptops. One for my personal and one for my work so my first step was to get a solid machine which was my MacBook Pro. Then get a solid Virtual Machine for all those applications that have not yet been ported over to Mac OS X yet which I tried Parallels and was forced to move VMWare Fusion due to USB issues with Parallels. I am very happy with VMWare Fusion by the way.
A few hurtles of using my MacBook Pro in the enterprise world is that there really isn't a Visio component for Mac OS X that will open the highly used Visio files accuratly. Another hurtle is having the ability to share my desktop and applications via a web conferencing solution. I have tried many to include:
While we're all excited about today's barrage of Mac updates, we can't help but notice something missing from all the new machines.
Apple seems to have moved on from the Firewire 400 port we've all come to know and love. Developed and released by Apple in 1995, Firewire 400 (IEEE 1394) become the industry standard for DV camera interfaces. Apple touted the speed of Firewire 400 for external drives and, for a short time, offered the Firewire equipped iSight Web camera. The first three generations of iPods also featured a Firewire 400 interface for syncing and charging.
After Apple released new desktop Macs today, their entire line of computers is now Firewire 400 free. In its place, Apple is utilizing Firewire 800 (IEEE 1394b), which moves data at 786.432 Mbit/s full-duplex. Introduced in 2002, Firewire 800 doesn't appear to be enjoying the mass acceptance that Firewire 400 did with most users using USB 2.0 for external devices.
Users with legacy devices with the Firewire 400 interface can use 9pin to 6pin Firewire cables and adapters.
Farewell Firewire 400, without you, we would have never been able to make our first movie, or connect our old-school iPods to our Macs. We'll never forget how impressed we were when we first learned of your super-speedy specs in the 90s.
