With the changes that are coming to the ning networks, I'm very much considering moving my network to my own hosting.  Since I'm already running my site with Joomla & K2, I'm hoping to find a way to integrate it.I'm looking at different options.  The main two seem to be Jomsocial and community builder.  I was hoping someone here could tell me if either of them work well with K2?Also I'm trying to decided between the two CB is free and that's a big plus right now...But I'm not sure if it'll will meet my needs.  Basically trying to recreate something similar to the ning forums.Anyone have a site using CB or Jomsocial?  I'd like to see if they look/run diffrently.

Hi,

Personally, I have not done any social networking tests as yet as it would take a large chunk of time to setup and integrate to find a good working partner, but changes to the k2joom working model will require a SNS to be created.

I have always favoured JS but things have probably changed om the last 6 months or so since I needed to use one.

There are an emerging set of extensions to bridge between K2 and the social site, mostly seem to be for JS.
We have a couple which we need to test and then display on K2joom.

Hopefully you will get some feedback, but I will also ask around for you too.

Thanks Simon,

I'm leaning towards using JS. Looks like it will be the easiest to use for what I'm wanting. I know they just released a new version this month.

I might get it to day and try it out. Could you share links to the extensions you mentioned?

Thanks,
Kim
