To help you getting started quicker on your project and allow you to make the best use of Community Builder, we have written a detailed documentation entitled “Community Builder 1.2 – Reference Guide” (that is for the brand new CB 1.2 Stable, there is also one for CB 1.1). This detailed manual provides additional information regarding the installation, configuration and use of the Community Builder suite. A bonus document details private messaging integration, and other bonuses documents will follow as time permits.

This additional document is provided on a paid subscription basis (subscription fees are used towards development expenses, development tools, etc). The detailed documentation contains now over 180+ pages (140+ for CB 1.1) of Community Builder CB 1.2 specifics (2 MB pdf file), and is updated at each new CB release.

While not a prerequisite for using CB, this recommended documentation will save you valuable time and provide you with an in-depth view on CB configuration and administration possibilities. It will help you build your community web site better and faster. Of course it includes all benefits of the Free Joomlapolis Membership as well.

This is a full year (12 months) subscription service, which you can subscribe now, or later from your user profile. This subscription also includes, as an extra-thank-you, download access to the CB Captcha 2.0 plugin for CB 1.1 and CB 1.2 and now the Privacy Plugin. You will find more information about this in this documentation description (opens in separate window).

We hope that you will choose to subscribe to this optional plan, as your subscription is a great way to support CB and allows us to spend even more dedicated time on the next releases of Community Builder which are in the works. It really makes a big difference to us and to the new features of upcoming CB releases.

This subscription plan illustrates the new CBSubs^TM subscriptions plugin, which will give you instant download access to the documentation and extras upon payment. We use paypal as payment gateway, so your payment is secure and your data stays private. You can pay easily and securely with any major credit-card worldwide for instant download (no need to create a Paypal account).

As additional "thank-you" and to give you another good reason to subscribe now, documentation subscribers have early access to new (tested RC) releases of CB and of CB plugins. Right now only documentation subscribers have access to updated CB Team CB plugins which are now native for Joomla 1.0+1.5+mambo and have new features: CB ProfileGallery, CB ProfileBook (new with member guestbook, blog and wall tabs), new CB Captcha 2.2RC3 (will stay subscribers-only), CB member auto-welcome plugin, new CB content module allowing to place CB content in joomla/mambo modules (all natively). Update: now the brand new Ajax Ratings field RC and the brand new Ajax Text field RC (including awesome color bubbles coming in 14 colors!) are now available only to doc subscribers.

Now is a great time to subscribe to the documentation service. The CB Team is considering a service upgrade of 10 euros (from 25 euros to 35 euros), so this is the right time to start or to renew to extend by a full 12 months your subscription.
