Community

SIOC (Semantically-Interconnected Online Communities) project is an open specification for describing communities using online discussion forums or blogs, leading to what some may term "distributed conversations". At the moment, online communities are islands that are not interlinked, and the SIOC ontology has been proposed to not only link these communities but to leverage data in ways that were previously unknown.

The User Badges module allows each user to be assigned 'badges' which can be displayed as a series of iconic images.

Invitations are important to create network effects and exponential growth of a community of interest. This module adds an 'Invite a friend' feature that allows your users to send and track invitations to join your site.

Invite allows your users to send and track invitations to your site. Users can customize the invitation e-mail which can be sent either on their behalf or in the name of the site. Among the numerous options there are possibilities to escalate invited users to a specific role upon registration and limit the total number of invitations a user can send. This module also offers a new registration setting "by invitation only", which allows you to maintain a semi-private site.

News

The 2.x branch contains new features such as an administrator interface, resend capabilities and allowing multiple invitations to the same e-mail address.

Blog theme allows users to have persistent themes for their blogs based on the theme they choose for their account. When others view thier main blog page, or any node (of specific admin-defined types) created by them, the reader will see the authors theme instead of their own.
