confused with the system was created by spike135
hello, i just signed to joomla and CB and i need your help please. i read the CB 1.4 guide but i got confused. i want to build a site in the consept of facebook, to have just a profile with some plugins features, and the site contents will build by the community itself, do i need to know how to use the joomla system? or just to learn about CB? i just started to learn about joomla and how it is working, i got confused by what i need to build with joomla and what i need to build with CB, if i want to build a site like that from zero (i don't understand if i can build everything with the CB menu or i need to build some extraction with joomla menu, first.
i will appreciate it very much if you can help me to find some better guide to start with (to enter components and features to user profile), and to understand what i need to build from joomla menu and what i need to build from CB menu in order to build that kind of site.
Thanks in advance.

You need to have a basic understanding of Joomla and CB. What you're wanting is likely months or a year long project, it certainly won't happen over night and will take some playing around to get used to using both systems. Additional trial and error for extension you find functional and provide the features you need.

The Joomla menu is just a link, all you technically need is the mandatory profile menu link to CB.

Typically once a Joomla install is present you simply install CB through the Extension Manager (install detailed in documentation). Once done you can add Tabs or Fields from Tab Management and Field Management, which would related to profile information and display of that information.

You can find various Plugins which are installed via Plugin Management all around the web. I believe there are quite a few on Joomla.org extension directory. We've also some hosted here under the Solutions menu link followed by Directory at the top of this page.

More details can be found in the extensive 400+ page documentation. Additionally if you need all of this NOW and not later, you may want to consider hiring a contract develop from sites such as joomlancers.
