we've been playing around with magnets!!!

I can´t see any new posting in GeoHaven discussion board... ?¿ So, regarding descriptions, I cannot do it now with the native discussion board in the tribe, but I am planning to integrate a better forum component which will have more features, i.e. a pop up when you roll the mouse over the title with the description you want. Just need to have time to do it, we are busy now with the full moon parties and exploring to find the venue for the next Gathering. Probably when we are in NY in may I can crack on with more website development. My priority is first GeoHub, though, since it needs lots of work doing. Jeff is now in the programmers group, so we can start posting thoughts and needs in there. ;D Hugs! Noa

i was talking to my roommate just now and were thinking what if the update that gets posted shows a bit of the original project description and below that was the latest updated comment. this would allow anyone that has been following the conversation to stay up to date without having to log into both places. it also helps new people that are looking at to understand what is going on.

Bloody good idea, but not available yet in Joomla as an out of the box solution. We can have here facebook comments, but it will only post it in the wall of the person doing a comment, so it´s not good enough to follow a conversation by a group of people. We need some sort of automatic rss subscription for group members that pings it to their facebook profile through an API. Ideally, specific for each project i.e. discussion thread.... Any programmers wanting to help??? I will pass this to the programmers group and see if there is any luck. It definitely will help both the projects and GeoParadise as a whole. Actually, and as I said in the email, it is the future of social networking. Integrations with facebook have to go far beyond our imagination so we can take advantage fully of the popularity of the mother network. They say 2011 is the year of social integration, so lets hope it is true!
What I am thinking is to integrate a proper forum inside GeoTribe group discussions, like Kunena or Agora, with the possibility of categories in the discussions (by area maybe, or type of project) and a selective subscription to the different discussion threads (= different ongoing projects) and get notified (email and hopefully facebook profiles!!) of changes in the project which someone is concerned with...not necessary all of them or when it get big people might get annoyed. I´ll carry on researching for this and asking the developers I know. Thanks for the tips

really good ideas. Got to look into how to make them possible with the tools we are using. We´ve got a group for programmers and developers. We are using Joomla as a CMS. If you have fiends keen to help, could you get them please to join the group. Then we can put all this suggestions in there and let them help us. Some things can be done easily, but some others need customizing by a coder, who I am not. ;D
I am pretty sure groups are already visible for non registered users, you need to be logged in to join and write though. Try it and tell me if I am wrong.

so i logged out and tried to visit the groups page without any luck. on the main heading thats at the top of all the pages with the page tabs. what if the geocommunity tab had drop down options. one to log in and one to go straight to the groups page. could also put it on the log in page.

aaah! ok, I got you. You mean that there isn't any way to find the group pages if you are not member. ok, I am on it!
