That is correct Paul, though you will want to be careful because you already have a lot of root level menu items so adding another one could blow out the width of your site. Just something to be mindful of, Jonmark
Hi, 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...
Plance has hit the nail on the head, when he says, "...Now...valuable Topic threads are buried amongst perhaps thousands of Topic Replies...This degradation of categorization is a profound disservice to the functionality and lifeblood of our forum..." This is exactly the problem. What you've done here is the equivalent of having a nicely organized filing system and taking all the files and dumping them into a single file folder. I'm sure you don't have your in-house computers set up that...
@Rich Melvin While I appreciate your appreciation, Rich, my reading of various posts from Julie, Plance, and you at OGR suggest that y'all are using the A.S. differently than we do (used to). Seems like you folks want some of the A.S.' functionality on User Profile Pages, whereas we liked it as a look-see widget on our homepage and embedded on a custom page. My eulogy doesn't mention your User Profile functions. That said, yes, I would love to see the "activity" publicly visible...
I notice my off the cuff comment got a quote in the Seattle PI. I like the reply- "3 day work weeks? Why would it matter so long as they accomplish the goals their boss set for them. Why would it matter if they did it in 5 days vice 3? So they work quicker, and so long as their superiors are satisfied with the quality then seems to me they earned that 3day work week." A good response and in some ways a workable one. However every business needs staff available at all times so there would...
I believe that the level of engagement could be measured by quality vs quantity. For instance, if someone posts a quality and constructive question that receives feedback and/or leads to repetitive conversion. This would indicate that the creator most likely has taken time, thought carefully,and clearly has made an impression on others. I would use this similar formula to measure performance.
Hi, Mother-of-Many. Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I agree. In some organizations, decisions are driven by metrics (quantity). It takes a different kind of insight to discern quality. I would like to see Crowdstack give us tools to do sentiment analysis . As a start, I'd like to know how I can use the Community Rank to measure engagement. I'll start a new discussion to explore that question. We modified the Posting Tips section in our community. Click the picture above to see where that...
Thanks so much for the vote of confidence LOM! We're delighted to have you here, and I've already found myself nodding in agreement on your suggestions
The principles of when and how to use "group" is a good guide to reflect, so thanks. I'm not a community manager, simply a moderator type, with ideas and attempts to develop communities of a few sorts, help inspire use. It seems to me need to have an actual project and a small group, to utilize application in order to be able to bridge to any "organizational" level engagement. again, thanks, good to hear others sharing their ideas
Hi @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,...
It's a great idea... but our Private Messages don't have the option to 'react' yet. I know this was an idea that both you and Ted said you liked when it was suggested a few months ago. Are you testing the feature and we haven't gotten it yet? Or is that feature something only higher level customers have? btw: I added a checkmark to our emoticons/graemlins to use in messages and posts, but I agree that it would be great if we could REACT to private messages instead of always having to reply...
Thanks Jayme! Julia, thanks for the heads up that the hover text has gone missing...I see that you've reported that in the support site, so I'm sure it will get fixed. Meanwhile, here's the text that should be appearing, to explain to a member what "rank" is: Community Rank Your community rank reflects your overall contributions to, and influence within, the community. The lower the number, the better! The rank is based on your overall community activity points, as well as the number of...
This answer assumes you haven't enabled " Digest Mode ." Subgroups have default new member settings for notifications, so you (the admin) can control the default notification behavior in the subgroup (min, medium, or max). Also, similar to the way it works at the top level, members can tweak their own preferences for each subgroup as well. When the member goes to their profile, under Settings > Notifications, there is a tab devoted to subgroups. All notifications will respect the member's...
There are certain menu items in our Crowdstack Top Menu Bar that link off-site, so we would like them to open in a new browser window or tab. The "Edit Menu Item" feature within the admin area does not provide a place to enter the target="_blank" code. I figured out how to do this with some JavaScript, but I had top-level technical help to do it, which might not be available to everyone. If you could incorporate code to provide the means to open a menu link in a new window or tab, similar to...
Members have the ability to adjust their own preferences for each subgroup, in a manner that is analogous to how it operates at the top level. When a member accesses their profile, there is a tab titled "Subgroups" that may be found under the "Settings" menu under "Notifications." slope game
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 .
