Update Eventlist integration…
Anyone keen to develop this project (and take away the pledges :-), or know of anyone who might be?
Two years ago I made a donation in hope that some day the groupjive will be completed for Joomla 1.0.x. I believe, this is what every donator had in mind. Today, two years later, I thought about making another donation, but… if you are going to make it native for 1.5, why should I donate for?
What is going to happen with us, the donators who counted on Joomla 1.0.x? (that means the MOST of the donators, right?). We donated because this component had to do with the CMS we were (are) using.
So, if you make it native for 1.5, then it is as if you are not considering us at all!!! Would that be fair?
apollonios, I am not a developer for GroupJive and had nothing to do with any donations previously given. I started this project page because I and some other users need a version of GJ that is Joomla 1.5 native compatible.
It is possible that whoever steps up as the developer for this project would be able to make it also compatible with Joomla 1.0, but the primary focus will be Joomla 1.5.
a joomlancers.com project has been created to attract a developer at www.joomlancers.com/Extensions…
Many of us already using Joomla 1.0x and migrating already existing site to 1.5 takes tons of time. Developing GJ for 1.0x is more reasonable since most of GJ users exist on 1.0x not 1.5 since GJ project started before J1.5
It’s possible that, like CB, a new developer could make it compatible with both! Many are moving to 1.5 (including me), but some are slow to move from the tried and true.
Developers are better able to let us know what’s possible, but we need a developer first! So let’s pull together for that before worrying about the other stuff.
Looks like the project posted by Scubaguy on Joolancers.com has received a bid for $1600. So far, we are up to $1370, just $230 short.
Scubaguy: can you follow up with the bidder - I think they sent you a private message. Maybe they will start the project with the $1370 – I am sure the balance will follow even from those who have already pledged.
yep … now we’re at 1.600 US$.
possible good news! I just had a chat with Beat, the lead CB developer. He is considering creating a groups component or add-on to CB. That means it would be compatible for both Joomla 1.0 and 1.5. They had actually wanted to do this before, but didn’t due to the existence of GroupJive. If all goes well it would have very basic function and include a plugin system that would allow developers to create whatever additional functions they wish. I’ll keep you informed as things progress.
That is good news that the CB gang might be wanting to do it. I think the quickest way would be for Beat and his crew to put a bid in here at micropledge – they’d win the bid for sure. How about that?
This is all just brainstorming at this point. Give the CB team time to think about it and respond when they are ready.
Ben, re “Anyone keen to develop this project (and take away the pledges :-), or know of anyone who might be? ” - I recommend Beat from JoomlaPolis.com (he’s the core developer for Community Builder). Community Builder 1.2 is Joomla 1.5.3 native! It would be great to see Joomla 1.5.3, Community Builder 1.2 and the next GroupJive all perfectly compatible and native to each other! I think Beat would be the best choice to take this up!!!
