Latest Community Builder build has Private Messaging!

Community Builder has always relied on uddeIM for private messaging and it's built-in CB PMS plugin still supports integration with it.

As mentioned in Kyle's blog, our PMS integration plugin now has an internal mode switch that will turn on the newly developed private messaging functionality now available in the latest Community Builder build and will be part of the soon to be released Community Builder 2.3.

We have already installed our latest CB build on our demo site where you can see this new functionality at work.

Here is a short list of available features:

• Internal mode switch to move from uddeIM integration to the new internal mode private messaging
• Migration of messages from uddeIM
• System messages can be sent by moderators to all users
• Messages can be deleted
• Envelope icon on profile page with number of unread messages for quick viewing
• Send a message to profile owner when visiting a user profile page
• Quick select from connections to send a new message
• Manage all messages (create, delete, edit, etc.) from Community Builder User Manager in administration area

There are many more built-in features and of course the CB PMS plugin with uddeIM or internal mode will continue to work with other integrations (Kunena, GroupJive, etc.).

And, as this is a new built-in Community Builder feature, it's available -- just like CB -- totally free!

CB Content Module 3.0 is available for download by paid members

CB Content module 3.0 has been released with a great new  timed content feature. Kyle has already blogged about this and in a nutshell this new feature lets you set a start and end date/time period and then specify what content is to appear before, during and after the specified period. CB substitutions can also be used for extra fine-tuning of your content.

The specific use case shown in the screenshot above has been implemented on our demo site.

If you have never explored the CB Content module, you should really take a closer look at it. It's basically a Joomla HTML module on stereoids!

In addition to just displaying HTML powered content in a module position, the CB Content module also does the following:

• Adds CSS code and URL specified CSS files to your page header
• Adds Javascript code and URL specified Javascript files to your page header
• Adds jQuery code and loads jQuery plugins to your page header

In addition to the use case shown on our demo site, here is a cool tutorial that illustrates the power of the CB Content module!
