This 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...
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...
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:
In Crowdstack, if you click your name (top right) there's a menu item Posting Tips . We wanted to control where that link went (instead of https://yoursite/member-cp/posting-tips ) Here's what we did. In Control Panel - Display Settings -- End of Page HTML We added some jQuery to locate the link and replace the href attribute with the address where you want Posting Tips to go. <script> $(function() { // Redirect Posting Tips to our own blog post with posting tips...
It's been a while since I shared a "fun with Recipes" tip. This one is useful if you have more than one admin or moderator, and want to keep share why you banned (or unbanned) a specific member. To set up this Recipe: 1. Go into your control panel and click Basics > Recipes. 2. Click "Build Custom Recipe." 3. Give it a name, like "Add Member Note When Banning." 4. For Trigger, choose "Member Banned." 5. For Action(s) to Take, choose "Add Member Note." You'll notice that you can insert an...
Depending upon your site's design you may want to change the new default avatar display so that all initials appear the same color. With a bit of CSS you can do that. Copy the following into your Display Settings > Custom CSS box .default-member-avatar-container circle, .default-member-avatar-container rect { fill: gainsboro !important; } In this example "gainsboro" is a greyish color (#dcdcdc for those keeping score). You'll find a large listing of colors to chose from here . You can...
Hey everyone- Sometime next week, we'll be rolling out another major update for Crowdstack , this one focusing on improving navigation in the Admin Control Panel. Currently, the Admin Control Panel is one very long list of links. We're making things (hopefully) easier to get to by putting the main control panel sections in a smaller menu at the top of each control panel page, with the subsections of each main area available in a sidebar when you are in a particular section. It will look like...
Hi, Is it possible to moderate reactions? For example, a member wants to react with at thumbs down. Can that member action be made to appear in the /cp/moderationQueue so it must be approved before it goes live? Thanks, ST
Hello, I have some questions about membership management on Crowdstack, like does the platform offer something similar to like NationBuilder, or Wild Apricot? We're looking for ways to track our members, take fees, and be able to pull from our various social media like Facebook and MailChimp. I was directed to FeePod, but the price seemed exorbitant for us as a nonprofit. If there's a way we can set up a call to talk, that would be helpful as well. Thank you, Robert Nelson
Is there a way an admin can temporarily mute a member for a designated time period rather than ban them? It would send a clear message of a rule infraction.
Hi, we're planning to use your SSO to be integrated with our own registration and login system. I have a ques: how do we actually login to crowdstack from our site with the use of SSO? I checked your API calls and can see that you have endpoints for SSO member lookup as well as the login endpoint however, in your login, we need to provide the password which we don't have since we're just logging in from our site. Please let me know what do we need to do or use to achieve this. Thanks.
If you ban a member when deleting content, it automatically notifies the member that they are being banned. We use this mainly to remove spammers or shut down problem members. Then they respond to the notification to argue. Make the default not to notify OR Add an option for the admin to choose whether to notify.
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 .
