Complete solution for your membership site

The CB Team is very excited to announce the immediate grand opening of the Joomlapolis Incubator Area. The Incubator concept is our answer to share our development and proof-of-concept work with our members.

You can now gain access to many internal projects and experiments that you will be able to test and provide feedback and inspire further development. Each project has its own dedicated forge area where members can download latest releases, post comments on dedicated forums and post new tracker items when forum discussions verify issues.

Currently, there are 17 Incubator projects in the Incubator forge area and the CB Team has more in progress. Read the entire Incubator concept and available projects and see our official Joomlapolis Incubator presentation:

As a gift to our trusted CB Documentation subscribers we have granted all active subscribers access to the incubator. Just visit your Doc-Subs profile tab to see access link.

With the release of our new website (currently in last phase of construction), we will be introducing a new Joomlapolis premium membership status. This new status will be given support services at various levels (dedicated forum and ticketing system, etc.) and will be granted exclusive access to Incubator area. Until this happens, all CB Documentation subscribers will enjoy access to the Incubator.

The CB Team has just released CB 1.2.3 which can be downloaded by all logged in users of Joomlapolis.

CB 1.2.3 is mainly a bug fixes release with a few new features and also experimental support for Joomla 1.6 beta 4. The CB 1.2.3 package also has an updated installation document which should be read and followed.  For Joomla 1.5.X websites upgrading to CB 1.2.3 is just a matter of installing the CB component and the CB modules right over the old ones (without uninstalling) - please read the installation guide included in the package for instructions.

Also CB 1.2.3 now has Mass Emailing and Advanced filtering embedded in the CB User Manager backend. You can now filter based on any CB field value and use the resulting query set as email address recipients for the Mass Email feature. You can also use any CB field substitutions in the HTML email body to create rich and personalized email content. 

A full change log will be given by Beat in the forum discussion that follows this announcement.

Special thanks must be given to our fellow Joomlapolitan who are on the CB Testing WorkGroup for their assistance in getting this out.

This release now opens the roadmap for many exciting new projects that have been in the works for some time now. Two of these projects to be announced in the following days are: the Incubator forge area and the Translation projects forge area.

Also, with the release of CB 1.2.3 we will now shift gears and continue full speed on our CB 2.0 project. We will be opening up various CB 2.0 related discussion threads to get needed feedback and suggestions regarding CB 2.0.

The CB Team has just released version 1.1 of its CB Ajax Text Field plugin. See 1.0 stable announcement.

Version 1.1 fixes some minor bugs discovered during our CB 1.2.3 regression testing rounds.

Questions regarding the CB Ajax Text Field plugin can be posted in the dedicated forum area. 

Beat and I are back from the J and Beyond 2010 International conference. It was a fantastic experience and a great opportunity to put a 3-D moving image to our skype and forum avatars.

Some people were actually taller than anticipated and some shorter. Meeting people face-to-face was a great experience and this is something that technology (thank God) has not been able to replicate.

As you can see by looking at the presentations, we made some important announcements during the J&B10 conference. We will be following up these announcements with front page articles within the next couple of days, so stay tuned.
