SOBI - is a component for the WCMS Joomla! to show entries of companies. Via the web interface, the customers (companies) enter themselves in the index. The options "Show Logo/Image" and "Detailed Description" can be for free or not.

The entries are divided into categories. They can be found using the implemented search function. SOBI is almost entirely configurable within the backend. The layout of the frontend can also be changed within the backend.
SOBI is published under the GPU/GPL license.
