Success Stories
I've been using obSocialSubmit since January 2011.I am very content with how the external addons work for twitter, facebook and facebook pages. They also have great support. It's an excellent complement because the programme publishes itself on social networks and saves you the time having to publish it manually. I would definitely recommend it.
Hey Everyone, this is my first ever review 'cause it was worth it. Have used this extension in two websites and installing on my own in a few. Support team is very open and willing to build custom add-ons. A triple must if you want your site to become social.
this extension offers the ability to harness the power of social networks in order to push content from my website to the networks automatically. this means that I save a load to time having to manually update my social networks... and it means that my content goes viral automatically. I can use the power of social networks to bring people to my site and all I have to do is work on my site... i now no longer have to bother updating all the different sites manually... I couldn't be more happy.
the extension is easy to use and the support is very helpful... they got back to me almost immediately when i had a query.
I'll admit that at 140 euros (inc the add-ons i wanted) it isn't exactly cheap... but in my opinion it's worth every penny because of the time I'll save having to manually do this work. that really is what makes it worth it.
This plugin works very well (using it under Joomla 1.7). Using it for Facebook and Twitter. Had a few issues with a new server, and the support was always very prompt and very helpful in sorting out the problem, which appeared to be a missing module installation on the server.
Defiantly a recommendation!
This is a truly great component, easy to setup and it works like a charm.
The additional questions I had on the AlmondClassifieds addon where handled and answered very professionally.
If you want to let your joomla site communicate with social media then ObSocialSubmit is the ideal sollution.
Thank you guys!
Great component with superb support. It wasn't a five minute setup but as long as you read the FAQs on the website, you'll be fine. Well done and many thanks.
If you are reading this then you agree with me that these days having a presence on social sites such as Facebook and Twitter is important..
And using obSocialSubmit I did that. I managed to auto-post content from my site (joomla content, kunena, mtree, sobi2) to Facebook & Twitter.
Simple & easy to use component, and the support is excellent.
They replied all my support tickets in less than 24h, created 2 custom add-ons for me, and updated 4 add-ons to run on my site.
Thank you for making my site more social :)
A BIG thank you!!!! After a couple of teething issue which the team sorted out straight away.
I asked if it would be possible for the mtree addon to post to our social networks from the front end. The team changed the addon straight away and now every time a customer updates their listing everyone knows about it.
It will really encourage our site users to keep their listing up to date and boost use of our site.
Great component and a really great team!! Cheers guys!!
Perhaps a bit of background of myself, i have no feeling with computer programming, i do know how to work with Joomla but don't ask me stuff about html or php because i've got no answer for it. What i wanted was simple, a tool to automaticly post our scouting articles we create on facebook twitter and hyves and with only the press of a button. With obSocialSubmit you have it all, in just 1 tool.I had it installed within a minute, and the configuring took me about 10 minutes and then it was working for all my social media feeds. With this solution i don't have to go to all the seperate social media sites again. It saves me time, and also for the other scouts that are running the website it is really easy to keep your socials feeds up to date.Also with the extended FAQ they have on their website, if you run into a problem you can find it there. And if it's not there just send the programmers a question. What i've noticed they respond really fast and allways with a nice and helpfull answer. If you are looking for a really easy way to keep your social feeds up to date with only maintaining your website, obSocialSubmit is the tool your need.
I was desperately searching a Facebook Publishing extension which can post the latest activities in our site to our FB Page, not to the user's profile wall..I was about to give up searching but then I discovered obSocialSubmit..This was exactly what I wanted.When I first installed this extension, it worked just like it was marketed, it was doing what it was supposed to do.However I needed some extra customizations, like inserting the first picture in the entry as a thumbnail in FB posting, not just the link. Foobla engineers made the necessary customizations in a timely manner for a reasonable fee.Then I needed this functionality for various extension which were not in their portfolio. They wrote add-ons for every extension I have requested. There were problems down the road, but they have fixed it..Their support is dedicated, they don't delay responding your tickets. Most of the time I got response to my ticket just the next day which is inevitable because of the time difference.My only suggestion would be the ability to opt-out publishing to FB..Not all site activities are required to be published to FB. It would be good to have dialog box with a check button for choosing not to send to FB.If you want to connect your FB Page to your site automatically this the extension you need.
This is a very good component. The service received from these guys is second to none. I have just started a gaming website and being able to auto-post new content and uploaded videos directly to facebook and twitter, is fantastic. I read below someone say it was a little pricey. I totally disagree. The amount of time this component saves me, will pay for itself 10 fold.Highly recommended!
Extraordinary system that you can not leave to use, easy to install and excellent technical support in case you can not do it by your self, also if you need a custom add-on, they do it for you . . . what else can I say! its the best!
Simply a great extension, well a bit pricey still works well than the others. I wonder if you guysy have any plan on supporting jomsocial? If so this is really a must have extenstion.Thanks a lot
this will be my first review. I have registered just to comment for this component.first thing to notice is good customer service(got instant replies even on weekend)Second point to consider will be good package of code. Work like charm!! does exactly what it says.finally yep it is worth the money (instead of paying a staff to take care of social media stuff we can use this component)
Absolutley sensational!! If you have a website as well as a facebook page, then obSocialSubmit is a must have! It's quick and easy to install and everytime you publish an article on your website, this clever little plugin automatically publishes the title, article thumbnail, a short intro to the article, and a link back to your website for the full article - on your personal or organisations facebook page!! If this sounds like what you are looking for - you won't be dissapointed.
I'm working with obSocialSubmit for a week and it saves me lots of time. Great idea and fine work. The support is very kind. I've problems with configuration of one of addons and they made all configurations for me. Definitely recommend!
This component is really works! Easy to install and use, good support too. with ObSocialSubmit we have improved our website, saving time and money.
I strongly recommend this product.
The best component of its kind. Now I do not need to publish blog entries from the manual, this is done automatically.
Thanks to developers Foobla:)
Installed like a charm! I didn't believe it, when I saw the posts on my Twitter.
Actually. the whole process downloading the extension, install, configuration and begin posting done in a few minutes.
I would highly recommend this extension.
Component is simple and stable. Worth the purchase.
Great support team - I have two sites running this since last week - one with Virtuemart one with Mosets Tree, wanting to publish new products and new additions to directory on Facebook business pages - I needed some help setting up and the team got both sites working for me within hours.
Great work.
It was a challenge - the publication of articles from my site in social networks. In Twitter, Facebook and so on. Planned to hire a person who has published news on social networks. But I decided to search the internet and found a wonderful component obSocialSubmit. Now I have all the social networks I am. Number of links on my site grows, indexing is great, the rapid growth in all directions on Google and various analytical systems. I'm just happy. obSocialSubmit really helped me save money and time. and most importantly my boss happy:)
Thanks to developers. obSocialSubmit best of all Social Auto publish.
This is a fantastic component that does exactly what it says, and works out the box with pretty much no tweaking required. Support is excellent. The product manager added me on Skype and answered all my stupid questions.It should be noted that the only features you get out the box are for regular Joomla articles and for Twitter, and the rest of the addons need to be bought separately, either individually or in a package. I must say that it is completely worth it, however.I am using this component in conjuction with JFB Connect, and there is no conflict that I have encountered between the two, and in fact, they complement eachother perfectly.Overall, this is probably one of the best commercial components I have paid for.
this works fantastic just what we requierdsupport was the best i have ever receaved the facebook addon works great the eventlist addon was what we requierd we wanted it to post to facebook from frontend this was fixed with in hours even with the time diferance thanks for the great componant and great support
A user of my own component (SermonSpeaker) bought this component and let them built an AddOn for SermonSpeaker as a custom work. He then asked me to improve the AddOn even further. After looking at this code I was impressed and bought the component myself, using it to post new sermons to the churchs Facebook page.The component is written very well and works reliable. The devs respond in time and are helpful.The extension is also under active development and the devs have good ideas on how to improve it.Definitively worth the money it costs.
Had one or two minor hassles with the extensions when I first installed this but the guys were quick to respond to my tickets and provided me with updates to deal with the minor problems I was having so thanks for that fellas. Very useful app indeed.
I'm pleased but not surprised as I know these guys for long time. Application works fine with J 1.5 (my case) for me and support is excellent. I would recommend them.
I highly recommend this extension!! It works perfect and the support is excellent!Story:I have bought this component and not manage to set it up. I set a ticket on their website and very quick I was contacted by someone who solved the issue in very short time. They stayed in touch with me every step of the way. Excellent job, guys!
I have evaluated many different social media plugins for our site, and found Fooblas tools are the most complete and best priced. I'm an average user of Joomla, and experienced with sysadmin. The code looks well documented, and well supported. A major factor when reviewing extensions has been if the supplier is a stayer, i.e. able to keep developing the extension for newer versions of Joomla.Completeness: A+Support: APricing: A+. Best social media component on Joomla.
I purchased and installed this extension on a Saturday and had a server error. I received technical support within 2 hours after I placed a ticket! We chatted via Googletalk and Thong found some permissions problems (no fault of obSocialSubmit) and fixed them. The extension works great and the directions include links that you need to set up your connection with the social sites. Outstanding all around!
App is great and works easy as! easy install and configuration and posts to all social networks we need to. The service is second to none, would highly recommend this app :-)
This is what I need! App is great and easy.
I purchased this extension after reading some of the brilliant reviews it was getting on JED, and now I'm back to give one of them myself!I will say that for me, installation was not as straightforward as normal, mainly down to a permissions error that I couldn't seem to nail down. That being said, a quick email to their support resolved the issue, which I must say is mainly down to my server config.As part of my purchase they offered to create a free addon for the product and I requested one for the popular Autostand component. It was delivered within hours, although I assume they had already made it, and after following their youtube tutorial I had auto posting to twitter running within minutes.So far it has worked flawlessly and I tip my cap to the developers for creating this brilliant extension.
Foobla is a first class developer.The Products are first class.The Suppoort are first class.Hope for a Google+ Addon...Oliver
The native component didnt have the plugin for what i required. These guys not only developed it for me but then provided it free of charge!! Outstanding!! great support and prompt responses to questions and they quickly solved any issues i had.
This is pretty good component, works with very little adjustments. Support answers tickets with in couple of hours. The Developers willingness to do custom work in enabling other components is a big plus.
What can I say? Thanks to Phong Lo, I can have my cake and eat it too. Do yourself a favor and get his products. The code quality is exceptional and the results are nothing short of amazing.
5 stars for the product, 20 stars for support. This guy has it all.
What can I say? I love this guy! Not only did he develop a fantastic tool, but his support is literally second to none. He responds to tickets within minutes and was on my website within 10 minutes to fix, what turned out to be all of my mistakes. He is a rock star and the best developer I have worked with to date. The product does come at a cost, but trust me it is well worth it. Do yourself a favor and stop looking for another solution because this guy has the perfect answer!
Hello everyone,Well after i purchased this Component and i tested it i had to register in JED to make this particular review. I will make my reviewin topics...:D1. I tried at least six other extensions CLAMING to be "posting automaticaly" on social networks, i always got frustrated at some point, either they dont post correctly, or only common page in case of faceebook instead of also in personalized pages, or only facebook or only twitter etc etc. This was trully the first extension that made what it promised to do.2. Configuration its pretty straith foward, u just need to create the respective applications in the posting platforms (facebook, twitter, myspace, etc) and the rest is even easier.3. After all that it's heaven, no more double triple or even quadruple posts your joomla propagates instantly all articles created to the respective social network ALL OF THEM at once of you wish it to.4. If you need a simple tool to propagate your material to ALL social networks with little effort, look no more, this is your answer.This was by far the best investiment i have made since i use Joomla.Thank You OB Team
I purchased this extension with some trepidation.. I have tried others, but just wasn't happy with them. obSocialSubmit... What can I say.. The best auto social submit I have tried! Installed easy, and the support is spot on! I purchased the Facebook pages Addon, to submit to my business page... works great!If you want a good auto social submit extension.. THIS IS THE ONE!
This is simply a transparent review. I am not in the business of recommending products, bu I do believe in sharing knowledge. Here are the elements: - A full evaluation of the extension: I have bought this component with all of its plugins, internal and External ones. It is simply excellent. It works and deliver its purpose. I do understand why there aren't many reviews here, it is because you have to buy it to able to access it. From what I have seen, it broadcasts everything as soon as it is made. The nice thing in it is that you can configure it to broadcast as you like, "i.e. New items, modified items." It has built in functions to include URL shortener. Ease of usage and deployment: All you need is make you api's across those you want to broadcast to, and your in business. after I bought by a couple of days, I was given an upgrade for one of the plugins. I do believe they are a determined team. Level of support received: The support is decent, and genuine. sometimes you are answered within hours, and if not, next-day you get your support depending on location and time variance!. So they are really good compared to others. - Courtesy and Honesty: They are very decent team. - Pros & Cons of the extension and its performance: The extension is really good, and I believe it the best one out there. I had inquired about having a plugin for JoomFish, I was told it is coming out soon; so they are developing more than what they have already. Purpose of using the extension: I use this extension to update other social networks of our web updates and new items. Nice broadcasting to keep everyone everywhere well informed. Level of difficulty: Not difficult at all, It is extremely easy. This is the best money spent, and I truly recommend it to everyone. I am going to buy other products from those guys as have seen their level of quality. Thank you Foobla team, and keep up the good work!
This is just what we all need!
I dont understand how i could live without this. It does it all!
Some issues with the pluging for facebook, but the service and support was excelent. Fast feedback and i was up and running in no time.
Great!
I installed this tool couple of weeks ago and it just worked fine. Simple and efficient, this what I like!
Like I said in the title it's the best component ever. I can finally share my k2 itms automatically to different social networks thanks to this awesome extension!
Thank you Foobla ;)
This extension does exactly what it promises. It 's easy to install and if there are any problems, the service is excellent. I also bought the addon for Virtuemart and that's exactly what I needed for my site. Now the Facebook page of my shop is updated automatically whenever a new product is published on the site. Great job!
What a great component, quick and easy to install and works perfectly. I'm using it to auto-publish new article notifications to Twitter, it can also be used for Facebook and other Social Media sites.
Installation error-free!
I would like to say thanks to the foobla team for there support.The obSocialSubmit extension has really helped my business and was well worth the money, its simple to use out of the box I was posting to twitter within minutes and i actually picked up a few new clients in the first few days. For such a low piece thi9s is a powerful extension and a great add-on to my social marketing arsenal.
truly a great extension. I had this setup in only a few minutes. The support team at foobla are outstanding. They went above and beyond to help me, even staying with me on IM support at midnight. I had a few feature suggestions, and they were implemented quickly. I highly recommend this extension to anyone who cares about keeping their facebook, twitter, or other social media page updated. hopefully this review doesn't sound too phoney :D
This is a greatly Social component which allows me to publish my Joomla K2 based site to LinkedIn, Facebook and bunch of social networks. You just set it up one time and forget then, the system will run automatically out-of-box. Finally, thanks for the excellent support from the foobla team.
Another extension from foobla, and as before I am more than pleased with it. Not only does it exactly what it says with ease, it was also a breeze to install and configure.
But the most important part for me, the outstanding support you are getting. Replys are verry fast and competent.
And if you need a special Addon, no problem for a reasonable price you get exactly what you want and that fast :)
