Joomla Community Builder
 

Is there anyone that has worked with Joomla's Community Builder that might be able to help me. I am just starting to mess with Joomla after using Wordpress for awhile and it is a bit more challenging.

I have Joomla installed and bought a template I thought was basically a community set up but it appears to not be what I wanted so I am trying to just add the community builder set up and work off of it.

Any help would be appreciated.....

Thanks, Payton

I was in the same boat. Joomla is bloated and confusing enough, the community builder plugin just made it worse. I finally scrapped the entire project and redirected the domain elsewhere.

TemplatePlazza Comuna? If so, use their forums. That's the best source for support.

Same goes for the CB support boards. There might even be some help there for the Comuna template.

I actually got there Socio template which is another version of Comuna they have out. It doesn't seem to have any of the modules built in that I can see it looks like just a template.

The template doesn't automatically set up all the modules. No template will, all the template does is has locations for user modules in the HTML. You then have to go into the module manager and set everything up the way you need it.

It's a pane to learn, but once you do it's not too bad. I've never used Community Builder so I have no experience with it. I'd also just start out with 1.5RC3 if you can. It's much easier to work with vs the 1.x.x versions.
