SuggestionsðIt would be really convenient to have some "at a glance" shorthand "Permission Notes" in the CP's Forum Topics View showing Who Can View Subject/View Content/Post/Reply --without having to open each one. Invariably we think a permission is set a certain way for something and it's not. Put the shorthand "permission" notes in the wide-open space between the forum's name and the trashcan in a tiny font. ourURL/cp/forum-structure Shorthand examples: View Subj: All; Content: Spec Roles; Reply:...

Crowdstack DiscussionHi guys, I have Sublime Text Editor (simple editor, not flashy) to customize my pages. What are you guys and gals doing to modify your stock pages, and can you post an example of the layout in HTML and CSS? On a side note, when I installed Sublime, I had checked the feature that should be bringing up the option to open a page in HTML view. It's not happening. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to change a browser setting? I'm using Chrome.

Blog Post CommentI have three custom pages on my community: one for directions to our rehearsal/performance venues, one for our fundraising program, and one for contact information.

Blog Post CommentIs it possible to make the "View as Map" option on the Member page the default setting for all members?
-
Blog Post CommentHi Richard- Your plan has a billable page view limit (not a bandwidth limit). And if you exceed your billable page views, you will incur charges. Thus, if you are close to exceeding your account's limit, then you may want to consider using the throttling option. For questions about your specific account, please post to our support area.

Blog Post CommentI'm trying to set up a custom page, but for both Inherit or choosing a theme it is mandatory to input custom HTML. I don't have custom HTML as I want it to use the current theme's. What is the solution for this?
-
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 CommentAh! That part makes sense. But what about adding widgets to the right column..so it looks like the about page?

Blog Post CommentHoop.la doesn't currently support adding widgets to custom pages, though this is an idea we've considered for a future release.

Blog Post CommentHi, I don't know html. Is this the only way to add a page? I need to add a page that has text, image and links. Thanks

Blog Post CommentHi @Pretty Thunder ! Since this article was posted, (a couple of years ago), we have added the ability to include widgets on a custom page, so that might help you get part way there. If you'd like us to create the custom page for you, you could consider buying an hour of professional services time ($200). To take care of that (or ask more specific questions), just post a fresh support topic and we'll get you taken care of!

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:...
-
Blog Post CommentHi Dan- Each survey you create has its own configurable permissions controlling who can take the survey and also (separately) who can view the results. The survey will be posted to the community, but again the only people that will be able to see the survey on your site at all will be the ones who can either take the survey or view the results. Thus, for your scenario, if you limit permissions for your survey to just the permission circle comprised of the users you referred to, then only...

Blog Post CommentThanks! This is a big step in a number of ways, including making the list rather than the grid the first thing visible, and allowing it to scroll into the future, instead of being broken up by month. One question for us: On our site ( http://www.travelgumbo.com ) we have the calendar listed as Upcoming Content Planner (bloggers only) under the TG Stuff menu item. Is there an easy way to simply have the calendar not appear on the menu for those who do not have calendar access? Friendlier than...
-
Blog Post CommentGood morning Paul, Glad you like the calendar changes, we are very excited about them here as well. The reason that the sub menu item does not respond to a users permissions is that its a custom menu item. Custom menu items cannot be hidden or shown by Hoop.la based on a users access to the web page that they link to. The "Calendar" built in menu item will show or hide based on a user's ability to view at least one calendar on your site. Hope this helps, Jonmark

Blog Post CommentâĪïļðĨThanks Rosemary for the tips. I especially like the Survey idea. Once upon a time, we used them to actually "survey" members about issues/ideas, but now I see that it's also a good idea to provide a point of easy-engagement. Update: We just posted a single survey question and got over a hundred engagements in the first two days One thing we've tried to do is assign "monitoring and response" duties to various members of our admin/moderator group so that every post gets responded to. These...

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 @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 CommentYou do all that before feeding those kiddies? And you cook! If I am honest It is the Small business feel that attracts me to LiveCloud. Some of the Faceless options out there just turn me off. So from my point of view your "recipe" is very tasty. I would love to know how you manage your Email in box...

Topic ReplyHi Rich. Please post your site's url. topic-list-box needs "padding" inside the container: Here's what we're using: .h-ubb-topic-list-box { background-color:#DEDFE0; border:1px solid #DEDFE0; padding:10px; } The How-to: I turn on Chrome's built in "Inspector" to view the CSS which is controlling whatever element I've highlighted on the webpage. (I place my cursor over the element on the site, then right click and select "inspector). Up pops a window with the html and the css source which I...

Blog Post CommentHi @Cissy ! The social integrations are enabled at the top community level in the control panel: Basics > Social Networks. For each social network, you can choose Sign-in, Member Profile Links, and/or Social Feed, depending on what's available to us from that social network (every API is different). If you choose member profile links or social feed as an option, your members will see a prompt banner at the top of their profile the next time they go that page, saying something like,...

Blog Post Comment#3 "request deletion of all of their content by the admin" is a problem for message threads where a user's content is critical to the rest of the user's messages in that thread. They should not have the right to ruin other people's contributions if their post is important or replied to. What I would suggest is that they have the right to remove their NAME from posted content, not the content itself, in order to make their content anonymous. At our 'lesson' content site, we view all posts as...

Blog Post CommentThat item is a "request" by the member for the admin to delete their content. You can refuse to delete their content, if you feel it's within your rights. We're just providing the mechanism that will support compliance with GDPR; what you choose to do with it is your decision as the owner/admin. Unfortunately, when technological solutions are legislated, they don't always think of the consequences for all scenarios. Sadly, online communities were not really given deep consideration when...

Topic ReplyHello, Crowdstack's default widget code limits displayed content to avoid crowding the narrow widget column. Use a <div> tag with specific styles to create a scrollable container for the widget content. Create Custom Widget: Go to Customer/Embedded Widget settings in the control panel. Select "Add Embedded Widget". Create a Custom Embedded Widget and copy the code. Modify the widget code to show your desired content (e.g., "last 50" posts). Add Scrollbar Code: Paste the following code...
