There is very little information about the plug-in to make any kind of informed decision about its capabilities before purchase. I decided to take a chance and was a bit disappointed by its limitations.
If this plug-in could be modified to integrate into a user profile, it would be much more useful.
There is no point to make a cb plugin because CB profile by default have connection tab which shows the all connections of users. If you think its not worth as per functionality then you must contact through "contact us" menu link from my site for any query before purchase product.
After a day of trying to get this blog to work, I just had to remove it and start over with something else. The RSS feed doesn't work, doing things link changing an individual's avatar is very cumbersome, there is no documentation, no support on the forum (the vast majority of questions remain unanswered after many months).
I am not sure how some of the other folks here were able to get this component to immediately work perfectly, as they claim, when some basic things like the RSS feeds don't work.
What version are you referring to? I have had no problems with the RSS feed in new version, the old one people did.
I'm not sure if you posted this review after I posted all my documentation but it is documented and I'm adding more as time goes on.
For the avatar I don't see what is so cumbersome about clicking the avatar tab, then selecting an avatar from your computer and then clicking save :-)
Installation was a breeze, but I noticed one problem that essentially made this useless to me: you cannot turn off the process of granting them a certificate once they finish the online course. This just seems like such a simple option to include. It was a frustrating waste of time.
Maybe their commercial products are better, but my experience with this doesn't inspire my confidence in their other products.
The first has to do with the breadcrumb links pushing the title to the right on posts.
The second has to do with the widgets on the sidebar butting right up against each other.
I tried to fix this in the style sheets without success. When I contacted the developer, I was told that I could hire him for $75 per hour to fix it.
Frankly, I was a bit put off by this as I am paying $80 per year to use this program, I am using his default template, and I am being asked to pay to fix an issue with his code.
Having said that, the video tutorials are very helpful and the installation and set up are very quick and easy.
Dr. Todd,
Thanks for your comments. While every attempt is made to making the default template work with various templates - we also do recognize that it is impossible to accomplish this as various templates on the market could be overriding what is being used in the default template.
This is why we offer professional services to assist in cases like this. In most cases it is not just a few minutes here and there to fix things - but we have to do research into how your template is structured and adjust the CSS to best fit your templates needs. I'd like to also mention - it is not an issue with the code - but many times an issue with the Joomla! template being used. We see it all the time.
If you need any further assistance please feel free to contact us and we are more then willing to assist you.
Happy Blogging!
