Tips❤️Hello, Crowdstack people! We migrated our community from Facebook at the end of last year and have been looking for creative ways to bring more of our Facebook following to our shiny new Hoop.la space. We came up with an interesting option! We implemented a chatbot for Facebook Messenger that allows us to automate correspondence with our fan base and offer them options based on keyword inputs. It's a great way to steer our Facebook audience into specific areas of the community based on their...

Crowdstack DiscussionOkay, am I not online. I write a lot of replies in our community. I'd like to think I'm an original thinker, but it turns out a great deal of what I type is almost boiler-plate text. Here's something I wrote in 2018 in Library of stock messages/message This morning I documented how to make a post that had been forked to a new topic look like this. You can read about that here: Styling a post that has been forked to a new discussion There's a step where you have to edit the post and put some...

Tips❤️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...

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 CommentThanks for clarifying, Brian. Our "embedded" content consists almost entirely of https youtube (iframe) so we should be okay. What's the next step for authorizing and getting this done?

Blog Post CommentReference: For you as an employee, the first step toward supporting such a culture in your own company is assuming a YES attitude now. Volunteer for projects. Beat all of your deadlines. Put your own tasks on hold a bit to assist a co-worker who needs your help. Sorry about my earlier reply Ted........As usual I never read the whole post. Saw *yes man* and its connotations, and jumped the gun. Having now read the whole post.......realize (with Lorie's input) What you meant SORRY * reminds...

Topic ReplyHi @Valerie Krist , Almost the exact same way that Rosemary described above. For step 3 select Groups -> Group Directory. The widget defaults to 15 groups but will show up to maximum of 50, and it will display a link to see the rest.

Blog Post CommentI've used the latest version of Microsoft Edge on various Hoop.la sites (and Hoo.do) and there are literally no errors in markup or visual differences with Chrome (the browser I use for default). Only thing that you may notice is Microsoft's 'ClearType' technology that's on by default. It tries to smooth out the edges of fonts to offer more readable text, but I don't like it myself. Otherwise I agree with Ted that it's a huge step forward from any version of Internet Explorer.

Topic ReplySomeone using an Android phone was able to split the quote by using space rather than left arrow in the second step.

Blog Post CommentNice article. Too bad CareerStep's Hoopla site is a private community. I would have liked to have seen the 6 year game of "The Person Below Me." Would have also liked to be able to look at another successful community, you know, to learn something to try at our community.

Blog Post CommentI know, a 6 year fun for a game like that is pretty amazing. Makes me wonder what the longest-running game is... I'll make sure our next Q&A highlights a publicly accessible community, Carol! It is cool to pick up tips and tricks from each other.

Topic ReplyIf you are one of those hyper-productive people using ActiveWords There's a step where you have to Edit the Forked Post . It took only a couple of minutes to automate that with an ActiveWord. If you're already using ActiveWords, here is the script for an ActiveWord called "fade box" <div class="fade-box"> {control down}{v}{control up}{control down}{enter}{control up} <p class="read-more"><a class="button" href="#">Read More. Don't reply to this post.</a></p>...
