Tips❤️Want to add breadcrumbs to the mobile view for your site? We've come up with some custom CSS (thanks, @Brian Lenz!) that you can use to show the "closest" two levels of the forum breadcrumbs on mobile devices. You would insert this CSS in the the Custom CSS field in your Display Settings: .breadcrumbs-wrapper.hide-for-small-only { display: inherit !important; } @media only screen and (max-width: 40.0625em) { .h-page-for-FORUM nav.breadcrumbs li.breadcrumb { display: none; }...

Blog Post CommentDon't count you chickens till they have hatched. Such a simple saying with so many uses. The basic message of don't count on anything till it happens is important. We must, of course, make plans but we should not rely on the result. This leads on the the The best plans of mice and men Has a connection with the tragic story of George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced migrant ranch workers during the Great Depression in California. Such plans that are made are easily sent asunder by...

Blog Post CommentHi Pearl, The custom HTML field is where you put the contents of your custom page. This field is required, as there's no point to having a custom page without any content on it You don't need to worry about putting any custom CSS or theme settings in that box. Does that help? Brian

Blog Post CommentHi Brad, On the Survey Settings page, you can set the default permissions for newly created surveys (for who can complete the survey and view the survey results). You do not set the actual Create Survey permission there, however. To control who can Create Surveys, you need to go into the Permissions section of your control panel. Select the Permission Circle that you want to be able to create surveys and then click the Permissions tab. For example, for All Members, that URL is:...

Topic ReplyHi Brisotti, The code should go into your Display Settings control panel in the Custom CSS box. You need to make sure you use the permission circle's group ID instead of "premium" if it's not a premium permission group. For your Patrocinador circle, that numeric ID is 350043526109298115, which you can see in the URL when editing the permission circle's details. I changed your selector to .h-member-badge-350043526109298115, which fixed the problem (you also had replaced the 'h' with "webkits"...

Topic ReplyBrian, thanks a lot. Plese, how can I change the font size on that Badge..?
-
Topic ReplyHi Brisotti, For that specific badge, the selector is .h-member-badge-350043526109298115 so the font can be controlled with something like this: .h-member-badge-350043526109298115 { font-size: 0.8rem; } Note that we don't generally offer free assistance with Custom CSS. Custom CSS assistance falls under our Advanced Support, which is $150/hour. I've made an exception here to get you going in the right direction. If you need further assistance, please open a new support topic. Regards, Brian

Blog Post CommentThanks for clarifying, Brian. Our "embedded" content consists almost entirely of https youtube (iframe) so we should be okay. What's the next step for authorizing and getting this done?

Blog Post CommentHI @ST , We only show publicly viewable circles to regular users. If the circle is marked as Viewable By Super Admins Only (the default), then only Super Admins will be able to see the circle. Thus, this shouldn't be an issue unless you've unchecked that option on the circles to make the circle visible. Does that help? Brian
-
Blog Post CommentHi, Brian: I see the check box when configuring circles at the site level. Of course, all of this is more convoluted for me because we are using groups in an unconventional way. So when I looked at configuring circles at the group level, there is no checkbox for VIewable By Super Admins Only (I thought you'd get a chuckle out of this one). After poking around a bit with a couple of my dummy accounts, it looks like the Viewable By Super Admins Only default applies to group level circles by...

Blog Post CommentHi @Julie Usher , The Personalized Activity Stream is a feature that requires a rebuild process to complete before it becomes available. In the case of your site, since you are on a multi-tenant shared plan, it's not available just yet. Once it is available, you will see the Scope dropdown that Ted showed in his screenshot. Here is the Activity Stream page on your site: http://cookieconnection.juliau....com/activity-stream The new Personal Activity Stream page Ted referred to is linked on...

Blog Post CommentOkay, so basically you're saying I can't see/use any of this functionality now, is that right? If so, when do you think it will be rolled out to me/others in my camp? Also, can individual members personalize their own streams? And would they do it from the link you just gave me, or from their member profiles? I don't have that link in view on my site, except via linking through on the widget on one page, because it didn't seem too useful. But, if members can each alter it to personal taste,...

Blog Post CommentBTW, I'm asking the timing question to know when to alert people to these changes. If this one is way off, then I'll announce the photo one now. If this one is coming soon, I'll wait and announce them together.
-
Blog Post CommentCan you let me know when it's done, so I can see how it might be used on the site and announce to member as appropriate. I guess I assumed that is was done because it was announced.
-
Topic Reply👍@Brian Lenz , I, and our forum, will be happy if the new Posts tab will be as functional and we can copy/paste it into future posts as live links to members' valued content as we could before. Thank you for your response!
-
Blog Post CommentHi Brian, I understand what you're saying. We're in a different situation than most of your clients, I believe. Our community is 100% business related; all members are paying clients and they engage us to provide jurisdiction-specific regulatory information. Members cannot join our community on their own - they have to execute a contract for our services first, which includes agreeing to our terms of use of the community. Our members are chief compliance officers of (highly regulated)...

Blog Post CommentThank you Brian! And not related to this release yet still important: Merry christmas to you and your colleagues!

Topic ReplyHi jpmfan, The "Custom Code For HEAD Section" requires HTML, but what you've pasted there is CSS. You should put that into the Custom CSS section in your theme instead (just beneath where you've got it right now). Hope that helps! Brian

Blog Post CommentHi Augie, The Recipes release shouldn't have impacted your forum permissions in any way. Is it possible that another administrator made the permission change? Regards, Brian
-
Blog Post CommentHi Brian, the only recent change that was made to this permission circle was that some members were removed. No permissions were edited though. Today we received comments from existing members that none of them could edit posts which was one of the granted permissions. When I investigated I noticed that only the admins had the moderate content permission. Weird.
-
Blog Post CommentNo worries, we only have a couple custom permission circles and it only took a minute to restore content moderation to this group. On the other hand, I just created my first recipe! We get a lot of spam so new members are placed into a moderated permission circle and have be cleared by a moderator which adds them to a different permission circle. The recipe I created automates this (at least in theory b/c I'm not sure how to find/use a recipe).
-
Blog Post CommentCRAP, if that's the case then I don't think I set this up right b/c the trigger would add every new member to an un-moderated permission group. Here's what it looks like:
-
Blog Post CommentThanks Brian, will do. Really interested in the possibilities of recipes. The company I work for has a home-grown forum system that isn't doing well so I took them on a tour of the Hoop.la site I manage and they were very impressed. IMO it would be better to migrate to a Hoop.la community than continue down the path of the DIY approach. I'll submit a support topic to discuss the trigger for the scenario we've been talking about.
-
Topic ReplyHi Rich, You'll need to use the specific permission circle's numeric ID in the selector, as I mentioned above to Brisotti. You can grab that ID from the URL and then use a CSS selector like .h-member-badge-XXX:before (where XXX is the numeric ID) instead of .h-member-badge-premium:before . Hope that helps! Brian
-
Blog Post CommentHi jpmfan, Yep, you can do that with custom CSS. Just add this code to the Custom CSS section on the Display Settings page in your control panel: #overviewPostingOptionsButtonWrapper {display:none;} Hope that helps, Brian
-
Blog Post CommentHi Jon, This release went out to all Hoop.la, UBB Forum, and QuestionShark customers. We've had numerous requests for slideshow functionality over the past year or so (I don't have an exact figure to give). We support slideshows now via the Clips widget Ted mentioned as well as on the Clips page itself. Hope that helps, Brian

Blog Post CommentHi Lhisa, Hoop.la doesn't do any checks based on IP address that would prevent you from sending a dialog to another user. Users can choose to prevent others from sending them dialogs, however (assuming you are talking about dialogs). Thus, the new feature that allows you to register users through the control panel should behave the same way. The only difference is that you will not be logged in as the new user (as you would have previously). Without knowing exactly what error you're getting,...

Blog Post CommentHi Richard, Yep, that's a bug. It will be fixed tomorrow. In the meantime, you can reopen topics in bulk in the Manage Content section of your control panel. Use the "Open: Accept New Comments" option. Hope that helps! Brian

Blog Post CommentThanks Brian, can you be more specific. I can only find search, mod rules, mod queue and spam under Manage Content. Thanks

Blog Post CommentOK yes, I get it. Thanks Brian. Please keep us up to date on the bug fix - I don't want to do that again! ;-)

Blog Post CommentHi Richard, That bug should be fixed now, so you should be able to safely re-enable the auto-close feature again. Please let us know if you spot any other issues! Thanks, Brian

Blog Post CommentBrian, it warms my heart to see someone like you, who is very knowledgeable about the tech side of things on the internet, and who is much younger than I am, do something like this. The issues you raised are spot on and have motivated me to do the same thing. I got a Faceplant page about 2 years ago solely for family purposes. I think I have 8 "friends." My daughter was posting pics of the grandkids there at the time. However, due to the privacy concerns you linked to in your post, she has...

Blog Post CommentHi Rich, Thank you for the thoughtful and kind words! It's humbling to hear. I can't believe it's been over 5 years now since I wrote this post and quit Facebook. I can tell you that I've never looked back After a nasty election cycle like this year, I can definitively say I don't miss it at all! Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts; enjoy the Facebook-free life Brian
