Does CB support publication of conference delegate messaging, while masking actual email addresses?

8 years 2 weeks ago #279122 by jakebrooks
We have not yet purchased a membership for Community Builder - mainly because we're note sure if it will suit our needs.

Can anyone tell me if CB would be an effective way to set up the following function:

a) Presenting a webpage for conference delegates (we have about 400 delegates each year) listing their names and affiliations only
b) Allowing any delegate who has signed in to our Joomla website to send an email to any other conference delegate, at their real email address, but without showing the sender what the recipient's real email address is.

We want to encourage our delegates to network with each other but we can't actually share their email addresses.

If Community Builder is an appropriate way to support this kind of service, then we'd be happy to try it out.

Any advice would be welcome on how best to build this kind of function into our website.

Thank you in advance!

Community Builder is free, so you can download, install it and test it.

Yes you can configure Community Builder to not show email addresses on user profiles and show an form for emailing.

You can also install the uddeIM private messaging extension that is supported by CB and just let peole send each other private messages (on site).
