I hope everyone has had a good week!  It’s been another busy one here at Active Modules.  As our Active Social customers continue to install 1.3 on new sites or upgrade to 1.3 on existing ones, I want to remind everyone to be sure to read over the documentation BEFORE installing or upgrading Active Social.  Documentation for Active Social has been consolidated here.  In addition, Ben posted a guide to Creating a Custom Theme in Active Social 1.3 yesterday afternoon.

As we continue to update our website, one thing you may notice is that we are now offering installation and setup services for Active Social.  For $199.95, we will install and configure Active Social on your site.  You can choose from two configuration options: Basic and Standard; customizations will have an additional charge.

The Basic Configuration is the bare essentials and consists of four pages.
1.    Forums - Contains the Active Forums module, which has your discussion forums and your Active Social group forums
2.    Groups – Contains the listing of all the groups and displays individual groups when selected
3.    Profiles – Shows the member list and the profile of a chosen member
4.    Messaging – Contains the private messaging interface

The Standard Configuration consists of nine pages and will offer improved search engine optimization by allowing each group and profile to have separate addresses.
1.    Forums – Same as Basic Configuration
2.    GroupsList – Contains the list of all the groups in the network
3.    GroupsView – Default view of a group profile, only visible once a group has been created.
4.    MemberList – Searchable listing of all members of the network
5.    ProfileView – Displays a member’s profile
6.    Messaging – Same as Basic Configuration
7.    Summary – The Social Stream, shows updates and activity for members and groups on the site
8.    Login – A separate page containing only the active social login, used for verified registration or other non-standard logins
9.    Sign-Up – A page containing the Active Social Sign-Up wizard

Lastly, we would like to showcase more customer sites on our redesigned website.  If you are using Active Social and would like to share your site with others, please Contact Us.  In addition to some extra traffic, we should be able to give you some extra incentive for allowing us to feature your site!  I look forward to hearing from you!
