You might experienced this, the links in the Alphabar are sometimes misbehaving, the module assignments in the resulted pages are gone off, if you have some fancy module to menu associations set in your SoBiPro powered site. Obviously, this is an ItemID handling problem, and, unfortunately can be fixed only with a core hack.
SobiPro hacks
If you want a very capable business directory component for Joomla, look no further. SobiPro - the latest version of this oldtimer product - can do everything you want in this area - and more. You need just to learn it. And there we can help!
The powerful templating system SobiPro uses have a tremendous power, but to unleash that power, you need additional info. We recommend purchasing a membership to benefit fully from this component, but we also provide you some quick tips to let you started - and to let you desire the deeper knowledge needed to master this great component.
SoBi Pro is great... but misses some basic features, as adding a prefix to a field (might be as simple as willing to add the "dollar" signe as prefix, and not as suffix), and the templating is powerful - but criptyc even for an average Joomla developer. Recently I had to build a site wich had a special need - to display the last 4 digits of a person's Social Security Number, in the format ***-***-1234.
Recently I had to build a kind of people directory (ouch, this was too "politically correct" - in fact a backlist of bad customers for a group of antrepreneurs) and the obvious choice was using of SoBi Pro. But the project has couple of special challenges, and I needed to develop couple of tricks to match my client's needs.
When a registered user adds a new entry in your SobiPro powered business directory in your Joomla site you might want to add a link pointing back to his Community Builder profile. Sounds simple... but the powerful templating system of SobiPro might be cryptic even for advanced users. And you might not have a membership in SobiPro club - BTW, worth every penny!
Here is one way you can do this!
