GroupJive 2.3 : Conclusion
 The new CB GroupJive is a well designed system that takes
full advantage of the CB API and thus follows CB 1.4 CMS
compatibility (so its already Joomla 1.6 native).
 The initial group functionality introduced is very rich and can
be easily expanded.
 The GroupJive integration plugin concept allows third party
developers to cleanly add new functionality to groups.

Joomlapolis – 2011 35

36. What is CBSubs™ - expectations
!!! We needed it – we developed it !!!
 CBSubs™ …
 … is a powerful paid subscriptions membership solution with a
built-in content protection mechanism and many integrations
with well known Joomla extensions.
 … is a set of Community Builder plug-ins and supporting CMS
extensions that can transform your Joomla website into a free
or paid membership website
 … has a built-in access control mechanism that can restrict
access to virtually any CMS content element based on specific
membership plans.
Membership software is used to either manage free membership to a website and restrict access to certain parts of the
site to those that have signed up, or manage paid membership, allowing access to premium content on a website for a
monthly or annual fee.

45. How content protection works
CMS content
published Control access to any CMS
content element!
Components
URL-parts
CBSubs™ bot Menus
intercepts Modules
Articles
Categories
Sections
Content blocked
or available if
authorized by plan
Joomlapolis - 2011 45

46. More
Article protection
 Article teasers can be shown, but access to main content
requires subscription.
Joomlapolis - 2011 46

47. More
Module protection
 Hiding a module
Expensive plan
has extra
Cheaper plan
module
does not
Joomlapolis - 2011 47

48. More
Component protection
 Even if user knows direct URL to component, CBSubs™ will
not allow access with needed subscription.
Joomlapolis - 2011 48

49. More
URL-parts protection
 Can be used to protect access to specific URL defined
functions of a component. Example: Kunena forum
categories!
Joomlapolis - 2011 49

50. CBSubs™ module
 The subscription module can be used to market up-sell
messages
Guest Weekly plan
visitor subscriber
sees this see this
Joomlapolis - 2011 50

51. How integration works
• Component needs to be installed (e.g., DOCman)
• Component configuration (e.g., DOCman groups created and
A documents uploaded)
• CBSubs™ integration plugin needs to be installed (e.g.,
cbplug_int_cbsubsdocman-E.zip) and published
B
• CBSubs™ plan integration area must be configured as per use case.
• Subscription action (start / end) will trigger relevant integration
C action.
Included integration plugins: CB Fields, GroupJive, DOCman,
Remository, Jawards, Jevents, Alphauserpoints, idevaffiliate, pap4.
Joomlapolis - 2011 51

52. More
How integration works
 CBSubs™ plan subscriber will be automatically added to 2
DOCman groups when subscription starts and will be
automatically removed when subscription ends.
Joomlapolis - 2011 52

53. More
How integration works
 Of course we can verify this in DOCman backend …
Joomlapolis - 2011 53

54. More
SQL integration
 In order to support more integration CBSubs™ has a SQL
action integration plugin included in the package. This plugin
is used to execute specific SQL statements for each member
when his/her subscription starts and ends.
 This is a very powerful tool and must be used with care.
 CBSubs™ forums already have many SQL statements to
integrate with Joomla extensions at the database level:
 SOBI, Mosets Trees, Acajoom newsletter, Agora forum,
JoomGallery, etc.
Joomlapolis - 2011 54

55. More
URL integration
 There are cases where SQL actions will not suffice to
accomplish out integration needs. The URL integration plugin
will automatically execute a specific URLs when specific
subscription actions take place.
First subscription
• http://www.mysite.com/insert.php?username=[username]
activation
Subscription
• http://www.mysite.com/renew.php?username=[username]
renewal
Subscription
• http://www.mysite.com/deactivate.php?username=[username]

63. CB 1.4 API examples
 Get unique User handle:
 $cbUser = CBuser::getInstance( (int) $user_id );
More API
 Get user’s profile data (raw):
 $user = $cbUser->getUserData(); documentation from
our FREE API
 Get user’s profile field, rendered in html for display: document.
 $html = $cbUser->getField( 'avatar' );
 Get user’s profile field, rendered as exportable data:
 $data = $cbUser->getField( 'avatar’, null, ‘csv’ );
 Get a given tab of the user profile:
 $html = $cbUser->getTab( (int) $tab_id );
 Get all tabs rendered of a given position on the user profile:
 $html = $cbUser->getPosition( 'center' );
 Get all positions rendered, indexed:
 $userViewTabs= $cbUser->getProfileView();
 Render whole profile using CB template:
 $html = HTML_comprofiler::_cbTemplateRender( $cbTemplate, $user, 'Profile', 'drawProfile',
array( &$user, &$userViewTabs ), $output );

64. #1: Tab Positioning
 There are
87 positions
for Tabs and
9 not for
profile show
© Joomlapolis - 2011 64

65. #2: Tab Display Types
 There are 7 display types for CB Tabs:
 tab
 div
 rounded
 html
 overlib
 ovelibfixed
 overlinsticky
© Joomlapolis - 2011 65

66. #3: Admin Tabs
 You can create a CB Tab (let’s call it ‘Admin only’) that can
only be viewed by specific ACL groups (e.g., Admin and
above)
 By placing CB fields in such tabs you essentially have a method
to record data about a user that is not viewable by the user.
 So a user in the Admin (or Superadmin) group can visit any
other profile (and his own of course) and see this ‘Admin only’
tab and whatever fields it has in it.
© Joomlapolis - 2011 66

#3: Admin Tabs (example)
 Admin sees JFK’s Admin Only tab but JFK does not!
© Joomlapolis - 2011 67

68. #4: Not on Profile Tabs
 If you want a tab that can only be viewed during edit mode,
just place a CB Tab in one of the ‘not displayed on profile’
positions.
 The tab will only show up in frontend edit mode.
 It will show up of course in backend.
 CB Fields in such a Tab can be used in delimiter fields (later)
 Other usage: Place a delimiter field that you want to appear
during registration but has no place on profile in such a Tab.
© Joomlapolis - 2011 68

69. More
#4: Not on Profile Tabs (example)
 Tab appears only during profile editing.
© Joomlapolis - 2011 69

70. Delimiter Field
 Very powerful, under-rated, not really appreciated built-in
feature.
 A CB Field that cannot be edited by users.
 Can contain HTML code
 Can “grab” values from other CB fields of profile displayed or
viewers (or any particular user!) profile and use them in code.
Values can even be used in conditional CB substitution
statements
 If statements can be used on such delimiter fields.
© Joomlapolis - 2011 70

71. More
Delimiter Field (sample usage)
 To place HTML code on registration page.
E.g., a horizontal line, an image, a banner, a video, an audio
message, etc.
 To place HTML code on User profiles.
E.g., an image, a nicely formatted message, a coupon, etc.
 To grab other field value(s) and combine to display specific
content. E.g., YouTube playlist player on profile.
 To grab other field values and combine to display
personalized content that depends on viewer and profile
owner.
E.g., Display message on user profile if profile owner is a
woman, Display message to registered person viewing if
person viewing is a man, etc.

94. #20 Promotion scenarios (basic)
 Basic: Use COUPON Code: GETITNOW to receive 20% off
Advanced Membership
 Limit discount for specific time period
E.g. Coupon is valid for 10 days or until DD/MM/YYYY
 Limit total number of discounts that can be used by single user
E.g., Each individual user can use this coupon 2 times (two separate
purchases)
 Limit total number of discounts that can be used by all users.
E.g., Coupon can only be used 100 times. So promo message could be
"first 100 users only“
 Limit coupon to specific user group or specific users list only
E.g., Only Authors and above can use this coupon or only userids
125,155,133, etc can.
 Allow discount to apply to multiple plans when in same basket.
E.g., Same coupon redemption applies to plan-A and plan-B when
both plans are purchased as same time (so both are discounted)

#20 Promotion scenarios (active)
 Discount for Current Subscribers
All active Professional members get 20% off all template
purchases.
 Allow discount to apply even if Plan-B is purchased at same
time as offering A
E.g., If you are a Plan-B subscriber you can buy Merchandise
item A at 10% off. You can subscribe to plan-B and purchase
Merchandise item A at same time and still enjoy discount.
 Give renewal discount for active plan-B subscribers (offering A
is a Plan-B renewal)
E.g., Plan-B active subscribers incentive to renew before
expiration. Renew now up to 30 days before your subscription
ends and get 20% off!
