Simple question really but I can't find the answer in the changelog. I just installed JS 4.9.3 on Joomla 3.10.12 and the front end still works but the admin does not display correctly. What's the latest version that I can use without updating Joomla? I'm on PHP 7.4 by the way, and any later version breaks the site.
Latest JS version that is Joomla 3.10 compatible?
vincebodie Hi
The latest version of JomSocial supports Joomla 5 and PHP 8.x, while Joomla 3 and PHP7.4 are no longer supported, you should consider to migrate your site to Joomla 5.

I get that and I have 40+ sites I manage, and believe me I want them all on the J4 or 5 ASAP. However this client can't afford to go to J4 right now because his template is outdated (JoomlaXTC which went belly up) and an update to J4/5 would be cost prohibitive, so we're looking for other solutions until then. I've gone all through the changelogs for Jomsocial and I see no cutoff between J3 and J4 compatibility. If I just knew that I would download whatever the last version was J3 compatible (4.8.3 maybe?). It's a simple question really and most developers include such info in their changelogs.
vincebodie Hi
With Joomla 3 and PHP 7.4, I recommend using JomSocial version 4.7.x. Starting from version 4.8.x, Jomsocial has been updated for compatibility with PHP 8.x.
That said, I strongly advise updating to Joomla 5 and PHP 8 as soon as possible, as many hosting providers will soon phase out support for older PHP versions and databases, which pose security risks.
I have my own team specializes in custom services, and our experienced developers can assist you with migrating the sites to Joomla 4 or 5 at a reasonable price. Let me know if you and your client are interested.
Best regards
