Sobi2 The Best CCK Content Construction Kit For Joomla
« on: 18. July 2009, 10:08:46 »
Recently CCK [content Construction Kit] became a popular term for all joomla users . While Sobi2 is the best CCK component for joomla, but no where in this site it's mentioned that any one can use sobi2 as a content construction kit component. I have checked other CCK like K2, Jreviews, Or Zoo. None of them is  not even comparable with sobi2 as a content construction kit . Jreviews and Zoo is commercial component and lack of many features compare to sobi2. K2 is GNU/GPL but still in beta . They have to do a lot to catch sobi2 . There are some essential functionally missing in k2 which is needed for any CCK component. Like assign content in multiple categories. On top of it sobi2's custom task , plugins feature made it perfect to use it as CCK component which is missing for any other CCK component avaiable for joomla.  If you have minimum html and php knowledge, you can built any thing Sobi2 . It's the most flexible CCK component for joomla, you can ever think.

I wish I could write down this review on JED . unfortunately  JED allows only one review from users. So I just mentioned here to let others know about content construction kit and use sobi2 as CCK for Joomla.

exactly my thoughts as well, when I was comparing it to drupal.

Could Neo create a sql squery builder like crystal reports or drupal views?

That would make it perfect!

Ie. you can simply query the sobi2 database and pull out any data to display it.

Very interesting!   
We used Sobi2 for the directories direcmin.com, direcmed.cl, firsttuesday.cl and Housing-in-Chile.com But recently I thought of using the K2 extension for the next project. I even made a poll to get some more opinions about this trend: http://answers.polldaddy.com/poll/1750567/ and somebody mentioned Sobi2 there ;-)
I never thought of Sobi2 as a CCK! But maybe it is just the style of http://k2.joomlaworks.gr/demo-v2/ compared to the new http://joomla.sigsiu.net/ which makes the difference?!

Saludos and keep up the great work and support of "Sobi2 - the real 1st Joomla CCK!"

Hello

I can't find any documentation to turn SOBI2 into a CCK ...
I know SOBI2 as a directory component for Joomla with custom fields and cat, but, what's next ?

Hello,

hmm...

CCK = content construction kit

creating your own custom fields = content construction

you can read this description about SOBI2: http://www.sigsiu.net/sobi2.html

I'm trying to decide on a CCK and was wondering how Sobi2 compares with jSeblod.

Ideally, the CCK will be able to define different content "classes", with each class having the capabilities:

  • Many kinds of data - text, radio, checkbox, html, etc.
  • Methods that allow for conditional logic that connects data together
  • Front end process submission process that is easy
  • The ability to produce reports based on the stored data
  • The ability to show a subset of the collected data as a table
    • with the ability to click on a column title to sort the contents
    • with the the ability to deal with large tables with good performance
    • with the ability to organize "pages" of data into categorical groups such as letters of the alphabet, date ranges, etc.
  • The ability to integrate data into other Joomla content or modules
  • The ability to be able to do advanced searching, including searching within results
  • The ability to do progressive searching
  • The ability to have WYSIWYG JCE-managed content and content that will go through RokCandy parsing and other plugin parsing
  • The ability to present data however I choose via a template in either the content area or a module position

I've installed both jSeblod and Sobi2, but it is clear that I will need to do a lot more studying before I can determine whether jSeblod or Sobi2 will take care of my needs. But, I'm assuming that some of you already know the answers!

So, please share your opinions as to the differences between jSeblod and Sobi2 (and for that matter, any CCK that will enable me to have much richer, data-driven content)!

Simple,
 
 Have a look at the websites end-users have made with sobi.

 And then have a look at the websites made by other CCK components by end-users.

 Then compare for yourself.

 Its easier to talk about this and that, but at the end of the day, if you really want something done quick and hassle-free, SOBI is the way.

 We are not talking about Einstein using the apps, just simple end users creating full featured business directories.
