Site Profile
Description: Kumbooka is a new social cataloguing site on the web that allows users to list all the stuff they own, or wish to own. Once listed, users can sell, swap or lend their stuff with other members. Built on Joomla with some custom applications, Kumbooka benefits from JomSocial and jReviews as the core components.Case Study: Kumbooka was built around a custom component that I have called com_ bookshelves. I developed this component using freelance developers found on Joomlancers
This component basically allows my users to find all the stuff they own by simply typing or scanning a barcode, or typing a few keywords. The entered barcode or keyword is then used to find the item on Amazon using AWS. Once found, the details are cached and the XML used to enter product details into my jReviews DB.
JomSocial is used for the Social aspect of my site, but has had much customisation done to allow it to integrate with my custom built bookshelves component.
I will happily answer any questions from the curious on how I have achieved various things on my website.
