SOBI 2 - Sigsiu Online Business Index 2 is a directory component for the WCMS Joomla! to show entries of companies and clubs (like the "Yellow Pages"). The entries are divided into categories, which can contain subcategories. One entry can be entered in up to five categories.

The companies/clubs enter themselves in the index. A security code (security image) is available for spam protection. Registered users can modify or delete their entries.

A Field Manager can be used to configure each field entirely. This concerns the ordering, obligatory fields, fees, field length (width of field and number of characters), field type (textfield, textarea or checkbox), in which view a field should be shown (category view and/or details view), and much more. The standard fields can be deactivated and new fields can be added. Thus, the business directory simply changes to a directory for other items (clubs, music, books, aso).

In the new (RC 2.7.0) version we added a cache acceleration to reduce the number of SQL-Queries and to make SOBI2 faster. Also some SQL queries are improved.  The V-Cards in the category view have their own template now which can be customized.  RSS Feeds generation is extended to generate random entries.  Some more plugin methods are implemented to improve the integration of SOBI2 plugins.

The new version can be downloaded on our site .
