When you are adding a custom header, footer, widget or page, you may want to make use of the built-in CSS utility classes in Crowdstack. This should make your coding much easier. I'll break them down by classes native to Foundation , which is the responsive framework Crowdstack uses, and those that are built into Crowdstack. Foundation CSS Classes .text-right : equivalent to text-align:right .text-left : equivalent to text-align:left .text-center : equivalent to text-align:center .flex-video...
"How to put a widget in the main left column of the homepage" was one of the first questions I asked Hoop about during Beta, and I have seen many others ask the same question since. Answer: you can't put real widgets there. But I did figure out how to 'fake' one there --which also has the side option of creating 3 columns, if you like that sort of thing. Why? We like the idea of more custom content in the Main Left Column (aka " MLC "), and less of the preset content blocks feeding...
If you are including a third party video from a service like YouTube in a widget or on a custom page, you should wrap that embed code with a Foundation .flex-video class , like so: <div class="flex-video"> Video Embed Code Here </div> That will make sure that the video sizes correctly on different screen sizes.
I came across this article today that described an effect that one site uses to make their member avatars more distinctive looking: http://www.lottejackson.com/le...ild-cicada-principle If you like what they did there, here's some code for you to add to your own Crowdstack site that adds the "Cicada Effect" on your Members Directory and in widgets that displays grids of user avatars:
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! If you've done this in your community, please share your own hints for making it work here too. In this example, we're displaying forum topics, but you can do this same method with other widget content. Go to control panel, under “manage widgets.” Click the Embedded Widgets tab. Click “add embedded widget.” Select “UBB Forum” in the...
Hey everyone- We've made a couple of changes to the way that our customer support system works. 1. All customer support tickets are now always private. That means that only the person that created the ticket and our support staff can see each ticket. This way, no one ever has to worry about private details about their sites being made visible to the world. 2. Because those customer support tickets are always private now, we disabled the "suggestions" option in the Customer Support area.
We are trying to bring a bit more organization to our various model train forums. We are experiencing a lot of threads started in the wrong forums. One of our members made a good suggestion I want to run by you. Currently the RECENT POSTS widget displays the thread title and the timestamp of the latest post to the thread. It does not display the specific forum where the thread is posted. Can that be added to the listings? It could look like this: The red text is the name of the forum where...
In our next major update (likely to be released sometime next week), we'll be removing support for the "activity stream" as both a destination page and widget. We're making this change because the Activity Stream is one of the most underused features in the platform, yet it happens to be one of the most complicated ones to maintain, since nearly every action ties into it in some way. In our research of active Crowdstacks, many had disabled the feature entirely. We are still supporting the...
You're so right! I'm a recent convert to Evernote...perhaps that's what's finally allowed me to feel comfortable ditching the paper files. Thanks for stopping by!
I 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.
When you block a person, they can no longer invite you to a private message or post to your profile wall. Replies and comments they make will be collapsed/hidden by default. Finally, you'll never receive email notifications about content they create or likes they designate for your content.
Note: if you proceed, you will no longer be following .
