  • Human challenge your CB forms (registration, login, forgotten password, email messaging) with Captcha image with audio playback and refresh button (also supports recaptcha and question mode)
  • Automated duration configurable (e.g., 1 hour, 1 week, etc.) blocking of IP after failing registration or login (X failed attempts in Y duration)
  • Automated duplicate registration blocking based on existing registrations from single IP (e.g., useful to block multiple free promotional trials)
  • Stop or limit account sharing (e.g., single login session per account at any given time)
  • Frontend blocking of spammer (account, IP, email, email domain) account for moderators visiting spammer CB profile

CB Facebook and Twitter Connect 3.0 released!

Written by Nick A.

CB Login with Facebook and Twitter connect buttons

The CB Facebook Connect 3.0 and CB Twitter Connect 3.0 plugins have just been released as free upgrades for all Advanced, Professional and Developer members.

Both can be downloaded from the: Advanced Download area.

Recently Twitter has changed their integration protocol breaking all previous integration plugins.

The new releases are now significantly faster (quicker page loading) and now have less conflicts with other social scripts that may be also present on your website. Kyle has rewrittent both CB Twitter and CB Facebook connect plugins to use their own internal javascript libraries.

Open your website to millions of users with CB Facebook and Twitter Connect that enable your users to register and/or login on your website using their Facebook or Twitter credentials. If you are a Professional or Developer member you should use CB Connect 4.0 instead as it supports more social networks and also supports (Facebook and Twitter) social applications.

Upgrading is a simple install over existing previous versions. No changes need to be made on the Facebook or Twitter application side. Documentation has also been updated.

And as with all our CB plugins, these work natively on all versions of Joomla - even the latest Joomla 3.1 beta 1 !

Community Builder 1.9 is required for both plugins.

CB Connect 4.0 released!

Written by Nick A.

cbconnect-newloginsCB Connect 4.0 has just been released!

The already extremely powerful social networking integration plugin for Community Builder has been completely rewritten with faster page loading, new responsive layouts, improved registration workflows and better compatibility with third-party social networking scripts. 

All core CB Connect features are supported including latest integration (login, field data syncing and 12 social apps) with:

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Linkedin
  • Google+
  • Windows live

CB Connect 4.0 is a recommended upgrade.

Twitter has changed its protocols, thus breaking previous versions of CB Connect. The improved compatibility and non-conflicting nature of CB Connect 4.0 are also strong reasons to upgrade.

Kyle has already posted a detailed forum entry about this new release and major changes
