Crowdstack Discussion❤️Hey Stack! We know there is a lot of collected wisdom here, and we wanted to open up a space for talking less formally, sharing community management strategies, and helping each other with day-to-day community questions that may or may not be related to Crowdstack itself. Some of you have been doing this for 10+ years! Our team will use this forum to share quick announcements from time to time, sneak peeks, and other info. Feel free to introduce yourself if you like, ask for help with...

Tips❤️How to add an image rotator to your home page banner. We will be using a package called Slick. Slick is fully compatible with Crowdstack, can be responsive, and has oodles of fun features, We will be doing a basic setup just to get it installed and working. First, download the files that you need. Go to the Slick website and click Get it now. Click download now and download the zip file to your desktop or downloads folder, whichever you usually use. Once it is downloaded, unzip the zip file.

Tips❤️You already know that you can insert images into your Hoop.la posts by clicking "Add Attachments." But do you know how to refine the SEO value for each image?

You'll notice there's an Attachments box at the bottom of the post, which is where you can adjust the Title and Caption if you'd like to do so. The Title field will default to the filename, but it's...

To set up this Recipe: 1. Go into your control panel and click Basics > Recipes. 2. Click "Build Custom Recipe." 3. Give it a name, like "Add Member Note When Banning." 4. For Trigger, choose "Member Banned." 5. For Action(s) to Take, choose "Add Member Note." You'll notice that you can insert an...

Tips❤️Crowdstack has pre-loaded Emoticons to use. But you can add new Emojicons (emojis) as well. First, choose which Emojis you want to use. Emojipedia is a good resource . If you're going to add a lot of Emojis, it will be handy to create a document where you've pasted the Emojis and the corresponding keystrokes so that you can just go back and forth copy/pasting. 😀 Grinning Face In your Crowdstack, click on Manage > Settings and in the Design category click on Emoticons. Click on "Add...

Tips❤️Sometimes you want to bring widget content onto the Home page of your community, in the left column. This tip is the step-by-step on how to accomplish that!

TipsI just found this cool (mostly free) tool that helps you pull a dynamic photo feed from Twitter, Instagram, and/or Facebook. If you use their Pro version, it also includes custom CSS and moderation tools. You can paste their embed code into custom content blocks or custom widgets, or into the header or footer of your Crowdstack site. Options include scrolling banners, grids, and map style. SnapWidget If you decide to try it out, come back and share your design!

TipsIf you'd like to increase or decrease the size of the font used in the top navigation bar, insert this Custom CSS in your theme (this example increases the font size relative to the default size you've set): .top-bar-section ul li > a {font-size: 1.25rem;}
