TipsFor your blog posts and clips, we have an "image-centric" mode that displays the title as an overlay on the images, like so: It looks great that way, but some sites like to add background shading to the title text as well, so it looks more like this: To achieve that affect, you'll want to add this CSS to your site: .title-image-title h2, .title-image-title h3 { padding:5px; background-color:rgba(95, 158, 160,0.4); } You can easily change the background color to what you want using the...

TipsThis is similar to the tip about adding a custom icon to Premium Member badges . For this tip, we'll show you how to display a custom icon next to all Member Titles. Note that the same icon will be displayed for all titles in the example, since there is currently no way to differentiate member titles from a CSS standpoint. First, let's see what our sample Member Title of "Dude" looks like without any styling: 1. First, let's focus on simply adding an icon. You can inject a Font Awesome font...

Blog Post CommentThanks! This is great. I'll let the team at ACEs Connection know. I've been curious for awhile about the ability to have a "title image" for the purpose of social media sharing but that doesn't show at the top of the post. Is this something that could be in the works? Thanks!

Blog Post CommentHi @Alison Cebulla that's an interesting suggestion (which I don't think is currently in the hopper). Would you like to post that as a formal suggestion (click post > support topic) so others can weigh in? It would be great to hear more details...like are you talking about a way to inject an image during the flow of the social share button bar, or more an image that's just hidden/attached to the post in the background?

Blog Post CommentWe have a support forum for our users. Unfortunately, some of the very people who need support seem to resist posting, or are confused by important things like remembering to "follow" their topic to get notification of responses. We also use graphic how-to's -knowing many don't read carefully. Our #1 support request is to "unsubscribe" or cancel memberships. We really wish Hoopla would allow users to unsubscribe/cancel themselves. Automation of that process would be more support-friendly.

Topic ReplyI'm trying to figure out where to put this CSS. I asked about adding badges to title names and I got this response and link to this article. I somehow got to Automation Rules, then creating a rule for Activity Milestones using triggers, but I don't see where to add CSS. Can you point me to where I can do this so it can be based off of points or triggers? Thanks!

Topic ReplyHi, @Valerie Krist : I just saw this and wondered if you'd gotten an answer someplace else? If not, you'll want to go to Settings>>Design>>Display Settings, and add that CSS to the field marked "Custom CSS".

Blog Post Comment@Valerie Krist if you want to add a large graphic like I showed above, yes it is still the best way. However, lots of people use small icons, inline with the member title, as a type of "badge." Here's an article that explains how to add a custom icon to member titles .
