SOBI2 is the best directory component on the Web for the Web’s best content management system – Joomla! SOBI2 has a large number of plugins that enable the details for an entry to really showcase a business, a band, a product, or just about anything else. File downloads, media files, video embeds, and even photo galleries can all be included in SOBI2 entries. At CorFun, we have used all these plugins in various projects. It was from a build project that we got the idea for improving the SOBI2 Gallery plugin to make it easier on the eyes and easier to use.

Community Builder is at the heart of many Joomla sites. Inside CB, sites often have information about birthdays, addresses, kids’ ages, hobbies, locations, and all kinds of other interesting information. For sites that are built around social or professional networking, or even sites for churches and other social groups, being able to find members with something in common in a geographic area can be a great thing.

Joomla is the most popular Content Management System on the Internet.  SOBI2 is the most popular (deservedly so) directory component for Joomla. Community Builder is the most popular profile/user management system for Joomla. Bundle all of these things together, and there is only one thing missing – really outstanding Google Mapping!

SOBI2 is a fantastic directory component for the Joomla CMS. Using the power of SOBI2, a developer (or even a motivated novice) can build a Website that organizes any kind of data from business listings, to recipes, to software downloads, to photo galleries, and even more. SOBI2 even has a neat plugin available that searches by 'radius' or specified proximity to a selected Postal Code/ZIP Code. Want to create a site that lets people find dental offices (or anything else!) within a user-specified radius of their homes? Then SOBI2 is your solution of choice, especially if you want the power of content management and ease of use that Joomla brings to the table.

Only one little problem, really. SOBI2 has a fantastic search capability that can return excellent results for a user based on location, keyword, etc. But that list will not appear on a map. The individual listings will appear on a map, but the list of search results itself won't. That is, unless you have the Google Mapping for SOBI2 Search Results plugin from CorFun!
