Agora 3.0 RC came out (not recently however I just got around to updating to it).  Unfort. they changed the way linking worked slightly so my plugin for JomSocial didn't work.  I've updated this slightly and it should work.  Feel free to test it out and let me know what you guys think.

I found the supplied JomSocial plugin for JomComment lacking in some basic features.  I was able to see what a user commented but not what the commented on.  It was extra difficult to figure out because I disabled the comment titles which is where the link is built.  

To address my complaints I "improved" the plugin by adding the following features:

• Ability to show the title of the original article title instead of the comment title
• Disable a clickable link on the title
• Modify the date format
• Limit the size of the comment being returned

I find with these changes it makes a little more sense to have this on the profile screen.

After a few days of downtime I decided to spend some time today updating the Agora Plugin.  I've been working on  other things but wanted to circle back and make some improvements.

• Created a "Language File" allowing you to specify what will be displayed when no posts show up.
• Created an additional Plugin Parameter called Date Format which allows you to change the format of the date (I didn't like Day Month Year).  This uses the PHP Date Function so check the manual for formatting options.
• Removed all the irrelavant code
• Updated some icons

This should work pretty well as nothing major has changed.  I hope (when I get some additional time) to be able to update the Avatar used in Agora to the JomSocial avatar.

I developed a plug-in to JomSocial to address a need on our church website.  The need was to have forum posts from a particular user show up on their profile. Unfortantely we use Agora which doesn't seem to get much development.  I based this code of the FireBoard plugin AzrulStudies developed.  You can download this from www.myne.org/downloads.html
