Joomla gets better with CB Pro Community Search

It can be a difficult task if you don’t have the right tool to create a website. People who use static web pages will run into quite a few problems when the content grows, as it is not as easy to update and there are no search features in place. Maneuvering around static websites is cumbersome and the user often has to manually create buttons for this purpose. This is the reason why Joomla Content Management System (CMS) has become quite popular as it eliminates these problems.

There are other CMS systems available like Drupal and WordPress, however Joomla surpasses them in that it is fully functional for end users, designers, and developers. It’s certainly a powerful system that works and what makes it really nice is that it’s freely available to the public. All software systems are never perfect and Joomla fully recognizes system downtime. However, they are constantly being improved with new updates that keep getting better. They have a large user community and a support system that helps overcome many obstacles.

Users within the Joomla world are always looking for a community building extension that makes their work environment more efficient. There are many Community Builder plugins that are available through the Community Builder teams or from third-party companies that make it possible. For example, the Community Builder (CB) suite has added a number of features including more fields, improved workflows and image uploads, profiled galleries, blogs, guestbooks, and walls to name just a few. For a more comprehensive list, you can always visit the Joomla website.

Unfortunately, if one reads the forums, one will find that many Joomla users are struggling to get the extensions to work and a lot of modification is required. In some cases all the extension amendments make no difference and it still fails. Frustration comes in many forms, including: getting thrown out of edit mode, titles not changing in fields, hidden characters, and code rework issues are just a few of the many.

Joomla fans will be happy to hear about the Community Builder Advanced Search which extends the CMS system by enhancing it with a much-needed feature. Community Builder’s search allows a user to perform a front-end control search within the Joomla component and provides and offers the flexibility to create automatic search parameters.
