While the groups are a really nice feature of JomSocial, I find them lacking a bit in comparison to Meetup.com ---

All you would have to do is make it so that when someone joins a group, they can opt-in or opt-out to receive all wall posts and discussions via email, everytime someone posts.

The way meetup works is that if you reply via email, it goes to everyone via email, now I realize this wouldnt work too well, but, if they received an email with the text of what the person wrote, and then was given a link to reply back on the site, which once their reply was submitted, an email would be dispatched to all recepients via email that opted-in, this would make this system MUCH more powerful and rival something like Meetup.com

Currently, our organization uses Meetup.com and we have over 150 Meetup.com groups, we're trying to migrate those over to our new JomSocial software and the built-in groups, but it's hard when Meetup.com offers you the ability to receive the messages in your email, negating the need to logon and check all the time.

I'm fine with having to post each individual reply on the JomSocial system, but, receiving an email notification when someone does reply would be HUGE.

It would work just the same as the "Bulletin" feature, just let people opt-in or opt-out, I don't think this would be a huge issue to add!

Please add it! We have a community of 5,000+ people already!

Talking about Apps on JS we all have been curious and eager to have more and more apps as JS matures over time. However this got me thinking; what happens to the profile page if there's too much Apps display?

Wouldn't it be cluttered just like we can see now?

I mean Newsfeed, Wall, Myblog and JomComment will already flooded the page. Let alone all other like twitters, forums, and what not.

I believe it would be much organizer with pagination or tabbed solution. With this I mean there's flexibility of having say;

"Azrul tab" to display Myblog and JomComment

"Activity" to display NewsFeed or Twitter.

I hope you're getting the idea I am trying to bring across. Just something I think better to solve now rather than later while there are tons Apps made for JS and by that time it's too late to change the whole architecture of JS.

Also, just as suggestion, maybe this is something that could be done on template level (hopefully), so it would be easier for either the team or users to solve this kind of situation.

hopefully this helps.

I run a gaming site, and we would love to see 3 things:

- more kinds of fields types, or options to create them easy, for example, being able to use embed, or html code to use generated signatures, like mygamercard.net example: <embed src="http://card.mygamercard.net/ES/jobet.swf"; classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="198" height="135">
</embed>

or the option to create a field for the gamertag, and that it would parse the rest of the code...

- Hiding empty fields, we don't like showing fields that the user has not completed, this is already an option community builder

- Dependable fields, so If I make for example a field for "world of warcraft" that is tickled, Another field appears where I can put "characters"

This would have many uses :)

Joomla has a very basic approval process. For large communities with paid memberships this process is nearly useless.

We need the following:

- Mail sent to new meber after registration with an activation link and a _customizeable_ message

- After activation a _customizeable_ mail with the possibility to integrate all profile fields (including custom fields) into the mail body which is sent to a defineable group (e.g. Super Administrators)

- After admin approval a _customizeable_ welcome mail to the new member (if possible with attachment) with the possibility to integrate profile fields (incl. custom fields)

- After deleting a user a _customizeable_ mail should be sent to the ex-member and also to the above specified user group (e.g. Super Administrators)

- After blocking a user a _customizeable_ mail should be sent to the blocked member and also to the above specified user group (e.g. Super Administrators)

- After a user saves changes to his profile, a customizeable mail should be sent to a defineable group (e.g. Super Administrators) profile fields (incl. custom fields) should be available

Any of this mails should have a customizeable FROM field, a customizeable Subject and a unique ticket number which identifies the member (e.g. the record number in the database) as well as a timestamp.

If possible, all mails should be stored in the database to get some kind of change/membership history for administration puroposes. Maybe with a defineable purge intervall.

Please put this on your todo list. Thanks!

This would be similar to the Photo App but would allow users (students in my case) to upload documents. All documents would be considered private unless they had been shared. Sharing could be one of two options: share with everyone (something that instructors might like), share with specific users (like a student's instructor). Of course, a quota could be set for each user that would be separate from the photos quota.

So there would actually be two separate views: one to upload and share a document, and another to view the documents that had been shared with you. For this second view, it would be helpful if not only could you see the entire list, but also if you could tick which files you wanted to download at the same time, and then have the app download a zip file containing all of them (this would save clicking for instructors).

Thank you for considering this application!
