Hello Joomla! Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm in the process of setting up a community website for a small spiritual community with a limited number of members. The primary purpose of the site is to provide a platform for publishing articles, discussions, and fostering interaction among the community members. I'm using Joomla! 5.0 and seeking guidance on how to structure and optimize the website. I would like to use Joomla! Addons for free as far as there are no limitations for me.

Here are the key aspects I'm looking for assistance with:

Member Registration and Approval:

Private Registration and Approval Process: Implement a user registration system that is not publicly accessible. Invited users should be able to register, and their membership approval should be managed by a superadmin or a designated user with high privileges.
Partial Access for Pending Members: Pending members should have the ability to read articles and interact with advisors. However, access to private and confidential communications among advisors should be restricted until their membership is fully approved. Once member is approved he becomes an advisor an can fully participate on private discussions our community.
Criteria for Advisor Status: Advisors, who are essentially approved members, should meet specific criteria such as a minimum level of knowledge and a required period of engagement with the platform (e.g., 1 to 2 years).

Content Management:

Categorization and Visibility: The content management system should support the categorization of articles. Moreover, there should be an option to designate articles as either public (accessible to all) or private (accessible only to confirmed members).
Criteria for Article visibility for the pending member: Some categories of articles may be restricted to a certain member.

Communication and Collaboration:

Private Forum for Advisors: Integrate a private discussion forum exclusively for advisors. This space should facilitate communication and collaboration among advisors, allowing them to discuss topics relevant to their role.
Advisor-User Interactions: Implement a separate discussion space for interactions between advisors and pending members. Advisors should be able to explain the teachings and beliefs of different spiritual communities and guide new members.
Criteria for private Advisor-User discussions: These discussions are organizational issues only (See "Event Coordination").

Event Coordination:

Announcements and Coordination: While not tied to specific dates, the platform should allow for the announcement of events (e.g. New invited pending person and the advisors can interact with him or her. The host who invited the new pending person should leave some information on the background or story.). Members should be able to coordinate and discuss these matters without a strict calendar schedule.

Author and Content Review:

Author Management: Enable the addition of authors and their works to the platform (books, articles, audio, video, speech, music). This should include the capability to associate multiple works with each author.
Review and Comment Section: Each work should have a dedicated space for one review in the top, just under a description, and then a comments section where members should be able to discuss on these reviews or author's works. This facilitates a comprehensive discussion around the content, including the perspectives of both advisors and community members.

Based on my research, I'm considering the following extensions suggested by ChatGPT (human suggestion/review is very important for me because I am Joomla! newbie seeking your advise): EasyProfile, EasyDiscuss, Kunena, Community Builder, and GroupJive. I'm open to suggestions and would appreciate insights from those who have experience with similar community website setups.

Any recommendations, tips, or best practices you can share would be highly valuable. Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hint:
ChatGPT gave me these advices regarding the addons:

Based on the refined requirements, here are the suggested free Joomla! extensions that can be considered for each aspect of the community platform:

Member Registration and Approval:
Addon: Community Builder 2.9
Reasoning: Community Builder is a versatile extension that can handle member profiles, registrations, and approval workflows. It allows you to set criteria for different user groups, making it suitable for your advisor approval process.
Content Management:
Addon: K2 (v3 2023, they work on v4) or Joomla Content Categories
Reasoning: K2 or Joomla's built-in content categories can be used to organize articles. Pending members can have access to articles within certain categories, while private articles can be restricted.
Communication and Collaboration:
Addon: ~~EasySocial~~ (payed)
Reasoning: EasySocial provides a social networking environment within Joomla! It allows for private discussions, making it suitable for advisors to communicate confidentially. Access levels can be configured to gradually grant permissions to pending members.
Event Coordination:
Addon: [strike]~~Ohanah~~[/strike] (paid) or JEvents
JEvents 3.4 is available for general download - this is a Joomla 3.x native component that takes JEvents to the next level using jQuery and Bootstrap.

Reasoning: Both Ohanah and JEvents are event management extensions. Depending on the complexity of your event coordination needs, you can choose either. They allow for discussions and coordination around events.
Author and Content Review:
Addon: [strike]~~JComments~~ (payed)[/strike] or Disqus
Compatible with Joomla versions 1.5, 2.5 & 3.x on servers running PHP versions 5, 7 and 8. Comp. for v4 to come soon.

Reasoning: JComments is a Joomla! extension for adding comments to articles. Alternatively, Disqus is a popular third-party comment system. These can be used for article reviews and discussions.

These extensions are popular, well-supported, and offer a range of features. The choice among them depends on your specific needs and the ease with which you can adapt them to your platform. Users within the Joomla! community can provide valuable insights into their experiences with these extensions, helping you make informed decisions. Feel free to explore and experiment with them to see which ones align best with your vision for the community platform.

PS:
I have installed Apache 2.4, PHP 8.2, MySql 8 and I am ready to start with Joomla. I would like to use infinity webhosting when ready.
