Tips❤️One of the new features is support for Font Awesome font icons. The advantage of using font icons is that they can scale to different sizes without distorting whereas using images can't scale without distorting or adding blurriness. New to the applilcation are text-based member badges instead of image-based badges. If you want to add some extra flair to your premium member badge, you can inject a Font Awesome font icon with some simple custom CSS. First, you must select which font icon you...

Topic Reply❤️Awesome. And let me be the first to request that this be a "point and click option" in the Control Panel, ....when you come up for air.

Topic ReplyWhere do I put the CSS code above mentioned..?

Topic ReplyI placed the CSS code but it did not worked. Please, what I´m doing wrong..? Thanks.

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 CommentHi Ted, Thanks for all the forward looking changes as you help us to prepare for GDPR. I'm also looking forward to exploring other ways we can use circles. Cheers, ST

Blog Post CommentHi ST- You're welcome! I'm sure there will be more changes/options between now and GDPR effective date, so stay tuned. Enjoy the holidays!

Blog Post CommentThanks for this improvement, Hoop. The old deactivation method was so tedious. But what happens if they are a Premium Member??
-
Blog Post CommentHi @neil ! If a premium member deactivates their account, their premium membership will simply have auto-renew canceled (if it's not already). That way, if they decide to come back and reactivate their account, their premium membership will still be active if it hasn't yet expired. When a premium member chooses to delete their own account, the premium membership is terminated immediately and no refund is given. Both of these implications are made clear to the member when deactivating or...

Blog Post CommentHi Ted, Is there a way to turn off this feature? If not, we need one immediately. Concerns: Most of our circles are to provide access to specific forums that are visible only to the members of those specific circles. This is important: We do not want the existence of some forums and the related circles to be visible. Some of our circles have names that that were never intended for public consumption If specific circles are by invitation-only (most of ours are), then we don't want to have to...

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 Comment@ST , yep, that's correct. Hoop.la won't show group circles publicly; the feature Ted described only applies to circles on the main site, not in groups.

Blog Post CommentI love how they use circles. It is a great way to organize your friends by their relationship. So many time with Facebook, you cannot specify how they are related to you. Hopefully we will see a bit more iphone application development in this realm. The app that Google has out now could use a bit more polishing. What do you guys think?

Topic ReplyHow can we do this for a specific Permission Circle?
-
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

Topic ReplyGot it and DONE! I sure wish I knew more about how all this Custom CSS works.

Topic ReplyNice job! CSS is one of those things that you'll surely pick up over time the more you use it.

Blog Post Comment❤️I sure wish you would send emails to all the admins of your various Hoopla sites when you do a new release! I have had complaints all day about our members not getting email alerts like they used to. I was not aware that anything had changed! We need to know when these releases are published via another method than just a blog post here. I am now following this Blog, which may help. But a specific email alert about things like this would be VERY helpful.

Blog Post CommentHi @Rich Melvin , I would recommend (as it sounds like you've done) that you subscribe to all new blog posts on this site if you'd like to keep abreast of new releases. We don't send out separate emails to site administrators currently to avoid duplication since many customers already follow the blog. To confirm you set it up properly: you can set that up on your Primary Notifications settings here: just enable Instant Notification for New Blog Posts . As far as the specific issue your...
