To make things easier for you and myself, I've sifted through previous announcements, forum posts and articles to provide you with this list of CB 1.2 features and add-on extensions. I hope to keep this up to date as new functionality is introduced and plugins or modules are released. Keep in mind, this is only a listing of "Team Releases" and "Documentation Subscriber Releases". Maybe after this is up-to-date, we can begin a third-party listing.

Community Builder 1.2 Stable has finally been released! All known bugs have been fixed and numerous functions have been added since CB 1.0, CB 1.1 and even the inception of CB 1.2. Special credit goes to Beat. You'll notice he's not credited with any one of the extensions listed below. That's because he's contributing to all of them!

- Works natively with Joomla 1.0.X, Joomla 1.5.X and Mambo 4.5.X and 4.6.X (note: if using any older plugins or modules, you will still need to enable the legacy plugin)
- Core fields are now treated as CB fields (name, avatar, email, username, etc.)
- Advanced searching configurable in List Management and Field Management
- New field types (decimal integers and uploaded images)
- Dynamic user lists that show content in relation to the user's own Profile (same city, same age, opposite gender, same interests, etc.)
- Custom field input validation
- New CB Tool to check on fix integrity of user database
- More extensive layout facilities and substitutions (allows easier template control and customization)
- Last-minute much-requested addition of Login and Logout menu items

The API documentation has not been released as of yet, but many developers will be able to create additional plugins and modules for use with CB and GJ much easier than before. Also, new plugins will *soon* be released that will increase ease of use, both for developers and end users.

Hi,

I saw that many web sites talinkg of Groupjive made a copy and paste of the text you wrote but nobody is able to tell me where this re-worked hemi template can be found.

Could you please let me know if you have it or where I can find it ? I really liked that template.

Thanks.

Bye
