rather than writing codes to make other rich who doesn't even share their ALPHA version

Please write to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it and tell 'em I referred you guys. I am pretty sure they will set up a developer account for Fireboard with a year of updates (well, thats what they gave to Agora Board when their developer requested for a copy).

Hmm.. guys, frankly I am pretty amazed how this thread ended up, with commercial vs open source arguments.

Ive been using Joomla since Mambo 4.5. And truthfully the prime element that made Mambo, then Joomla to emerge on top is a well-balanced commercial and opensource components/modules/plugins ecosystem.

Some of us here just pretend to be open source supporters, just a nice veil to hide a hidden agenda.

I'd stop here, just for you guys to think.

By the way, the integration is already planned:
uservoice.jomsocial.com/pages/general/suggestions/74137

Just want to highlight these TWO Quotes -

Well, the issue here is that it is more or less a Fireboard to integrate, rather than JomSocial to integrate. JS did what they can IMO.

You (JomSocial users) might have to wait....

People have different agenda's with their websites and like most of us we hope that we will have the "Next Big Thing!" You know? Like MySpace, FaceBook, YouTube... these are all the things we wish we had.

And, if you notice there are so many of these things or similar things available for Joomla now. The problem lies with people who expect support for a product that is free. The problem increases when people who want free support complain about it. So here is my biggest issue with those folks.

For example, Danialt and Greatpixels probably hold full time jobs right? Hell I know I do, I also have a wife and child, go to college at night and am developing my own website(s) and do some freelance work for some clients. So imagine these two guys having that load on themselves and imagine coming to this empire you have built (BOJ) and to see all of these people complaining and bitching about FB 2.0? JomSocial Integration and every other request, need and want. Its impossible for so few to help so many! So being an Open Source product like most other open source products we rely on the community to provide some support and to get involved. I can't remember exactly how many versions of Fireboard have been released but atleast 4 or 5 right? And this has been done in a matter of a couple of years? I think its done pretty well for itself.

Really there is no point even explaining or expecting people to just stop the complaining because it won't happen. My only request is that those who are doing the complaining stop and look at your life and see how busy you are and then imagine how busy some of these guys are.

Thanks,
James

I agree, as much as those folks are charging they should be able to provide common integrations such as Fireboard or their product is virtually worthless. << No offense to them!

However I recently received a news letter from them stating they will be making trips to Joomla Expos in California and Colorado so they must be making some money to afford these kind of trips. Also, may "Commercial" Joomla developers are teaming up these days to make their products more available.

I would be careful getting wrapped up in these schemes especially since Community Builder, Fireboard, Groupjive.. etc are all free!

If you feel like blowing money, make a donation to one of these groups in an effort to help them provide a better product.

Thanks,

You guy are crazy, just because they are selling this component for $150.00 that you would not try to integrate functions of Jomsocial into fireboard. I sounds like your all jealous of azurl team for making a huge profit. To be honest I would rather pay money for my components then to get them free. YOU GET BETTER SERVICE!

Fireboard is a great product, the creators could start charging for this and make it a paid component for Joomla like Jomsocial & Mybolg & Jomcomment and the Seyret Video Component and all the others that WANT to make money, this way you can start spending that money to develop fireboard to be the number forum software and maybe even make it compatible with Joomla 1.5.x without the Legacy plugin ON!

See Ya!

I've done little integrated template with Jomsocial. If you like it feel free to use it.

Currently it have integrated avatars, usernames, link, profile etc. It is very bad coded so if there is any error or mistake lead me to it.

I used default_ex template and modified it. So you have to backup your current default_ex template (rename it something else, default_ex_original etc). And unzip and copy this template into fireboard template folder.



Hope you like it. (ps currently some texts are in Mongolian I hope that you can change it)

If there is anything that I can help you feel free to contact me
