Community Builder 2.7.3 can be freely downloaded by all registered members

We just released Community Builder 2.7.3, with 6 improvements and 9 bug fixes

CB 2.7.3 is a recommended upgrade.

CB 2.7.3 fixes a few minor bugs, including minor cosmetic fixes and improvements and fixes a Joomla 4 and a PHP 8.1 deprecation notices (visible in particular circumstances with site debug on).

CB 2.7.3 brings along nice new features (thank you to our vibrant community for the suggestions and to Kyle for their swift implementation!):

• Single checkbox fields have now settings for different "Yes" and "No" texts when displayed as buttons, allowing maximum flexibility without language overrides.
• The video field type now also seamlessly supports the new Youtube shorts.
• The built-in Forum plugin added support for Kunena 6.0, the brand new Kunena release running on Joomla 4.
• There is a new CB setting allowing to select the update channel, allowing to only upgrade to "stable" releases like this one, instead of also to the nightlies (which is the default setting, as our nightlies readily integrate improvements and bug-fixes, often within hours from a forum support request. Thus they are usually even more stable than "stable" releases).

Speaking of nightlies, there have been 9 nightly releases since CB 2.7.2, released regularly. We always recommend staying up to date with your webhost, PHP, MySQL, Joomla, CB and all our add-ons for safety and smoothly running sites.

CB 2.7.3 is compatible with Joomla 4.1.x and Joomla 3.10.x., which is now minimum Joomla version requirement, along with PHP 7.4+ (latest PHP 8.0.x and 8.1.x also supported), and MYSQL 5.6+ (or MariaDB 10.x), with latest MySQL 8.0.x supported too, as announced since CB 2.6.0 release, over a year ago.

Our full CB 2.7.3 changelog is available for details.

Community Builder 2.7.3 is a recommended upgrade for all CB sites on Joomla 3.10.x and 4.0.x and highly recommended for Joomla 4.1 sites.

Our demo website has already been updated to Community Builder 2.7.3, so you can see it in action along will all our Joomlapolis add-ons.

CB Paid Subscriptions (CBSubs) 4.6.1 comes with one major new CBSubs Options plugin, 1 new features and 3 minor bug fixes.
In this picture, you can see an example of a plan with 2 options and 4 different pricing and duration.

CB Paid Subscriptions (CBSubs GPL) 4.6.1 is a features and maintenance release that is a recommended upgrade for all sites.

CBSubs 4.6.1 includes one major new CBSubs Options plugin, 1 new feature, an improved payment service provider gateway and 3 minor bug fixes. Main new items are:

• CBSubs Options plugin allows to propose various duration and price possibilities for user subscription plans. It also allows to offer various options to membership subscriptions or to merchandise products. This allows to offer options to users while selecting their plan or product, and then to manage them right from their user profile.
  
  Letting users choose their subscription duration and corresponding price is a major help to users, and thus to sales volume,
  
  Letting users add options to their subscription plans and merchandises and then to manage them allows to offer and sell added value services and options seamlessly right within the product/subscription plan, which is beneficial to users and to the average sale price.
  
  Kyle has a detailed blog with many screenshots about this new CBSubs Options plugin.
• User Subscription plans have now an Allow Login setting (default is on), which is available when the "Allow Free Registered Users (without subscriptions)" global setting is set to No. This allows to control in a fine-grained way which plans cannot provide login, and to accordingly propose possible re-activations when a user with expired plans attempts to login.
  
  A big Thank you to Kyle (krileon) for the implementation of the new CBSubs Options plugin. Thank you also to our community member michelq for his suggestion 2 months ago, as well as to his generous donation, and to Beat for implementing this nice new feature within a month, that got immediately available in the nightly releases and now in CBSubs 4.6.1 stable.

CBSubs 4.6.1 also fixes 3 minor bugs and improves the compatibility and reliability with the QuickPay payment services provider.

CBSubs 4.6.1 is a recommended upgrade for all sites, and is very stable, as all changes were released continuously in our nightly releases. It is also a highly recommended upgrade for sites using the QuickPay payment processor.
