Anahita ™ Bazaar - provides one-click install and update for Anahita social networking engine and apps delivered to you directly from the Anahitapolis.com website. You have to be a Premium Tribe member to receive updates for the premium social apps and extensions.
Essential social networking features upon installation - This includes rich people profiles, story feeds, flexible social graphing, privacy management, a dashboard for incoming stories from leaders and public messaging.
Lead, Follow, Mutual (LFM) Social Graph - Anahita™ uses one of the most flexible methods of maintaining relationships amongst people called the Lead-Follow-Mutual social graph model. In this model, people receive updates by following each other. The LFM model has been used by social networks such as twitter.com and flickr.com.
Story Feeds - The activities of an Actor node (a person, group, or an event) are compiled as a list of story items. A story item can be commented on. People subscribe to each other's stories (activities) by "following" each other. Likewise, people can also follow groups, events, or projects to receive updates.
Privacy Management - Anahita™ is inherently more secure and private because of its Lead-Follow-Mutual social graphing model. There are 6 privacy levels for every piece of content that people create: public, registered, followers, leaders, mutual, and myself only. Anahita™ framework API enables developers to easily implement privacy settings for their custom social applications.
Ability to block unwanted people - A user can block unwanted people, which means that they will no longer be able to see the blocker's profile and content.
Dashboard - The dashboard view delivers the most recent incoming stories and updates from the people, groups, and other actor nodes that you are following.
Comments - All Anahita™ Media nodes (topics, photos, albums, etc.) and Story nodes can be tagged* and commented on. In fact, the Anahita™ Framework provides API to give any kind of node the ability to be commented on.
Geolocation Support - All the Anahita™ nodes whether they are Actors, Media, or Stories have geolocation fields which can be utilized by location aware social applications. For example in your custom social apps you can store and locate the origins of activity updates, uploaded media, or people on the google maps.
Public Messaging - public messaging on Anahita™ is done using the story feeds. If a person post a story item on her own feed, it is a "story update". If she posts a story item on another person's feed, it is a "public message". From that point the conversation continues by posting comments on the posted message.
Translatable User Interfaces - All the views and links within Anahita™ user interfaces are translatable. People have the option to select a language providing that additional language packages are installed on the system. To further extend the ability to translate your social network we recommend using the Nooku Content technology which enables a through translation of the entire website to as many different languages as you wish.
Fully Customizable Look & Feel - Anahita's template engine, in combination with the Gantry Framework, enables you to customize your social network's look and feel exactly the way you like. There are many options available to let you configure and customize all the user interfaces. A web developer is able to completely overwrite the html, css, and javascript outputs of Anahita at the template level.
System and Email Notifications - When people comment on a story item or media (discussion topic, photo, album, etc. ) they are automatically subscribed to that node and receive email notifications. People do have the option to later change their subscription setting.
Powerful CMS Functionality - Anahita™ is using Joomla! CMS as the web platform and therefore provides the full functionality of this immensely popular content management system to your Anahita™ powered social network.
Extend Anahita™ Using Custom Social Applications - Anahita™ is extended either by installing existing social apps or by developing custom social apps using the Anahita™ framework.
