Update: Oct. 21, 2011

Development has picked up again on this infusion. I'm still welcoming all suggestion feedback only, the test infusion above is being completely re-written.

You still test it, however, it's pointless as the new infusion will be completely re-written.

The new name for this infusion will be "Fusion Social".

In my opinion, PHPFusion is in great need of a community based infusion. Yes, we have a discussion forum and groups, but in terms of community, they are a bit limited.

This is why I've decided to create FusionSocial (an updated re-written version of Fusion Groups if you remember it).

Member Profiles

Create completely custom profiles for each of your members. What you show on a users profile is completely up to you. It can be as simple as an image and a few fields such as name, city and hobbies or it can be a mega profile with videos, images, photos, Facebook style walls, friends/connections and more. There are tons of 3rd party integration plugins and applications as well. For instance if you have a Sobi2 business directory on your Joomla site you can install the FusionSocial/Sobi2 plugin and all of that particular users Sobi2 listing info will show and be linked in their FusionSocial profile.

Media Sharing

FusionSocial allows members to post images and videos on their profiles. Not only will the media show on the profile but you can also create a gallery view so every image or photo that a user uploads will be placed into a gallery page on your website. Images and videos also have commenting and social sharing capabilities.

Groups

FusionSocial Groups are a great way to have your website users interact with one another. You can enable group creation so users can create groups or you can create the initial groups for users to post discussions. Users can share images, videos and other files within the group. Some webmasters prefer to use a standard forum. You can install Kunena forum for Joomla and download the plugin to integrate FusionSocial with Kunena as well.

Modules & Plugins

There are TONS of FusionSocial modules,plugins and applications. Here are just a few popular ones..

FusionSocial is modeled after a Joomla extension titled JomSocial, however, FusionSocial will not be using any of the source from JomSocial. Only have features very similar to it.

If you would like to test JomSocial to get an idea of what FusionSocial will be like, head over to the link below:
