TipsIt'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...

Blog Post CommentHey Ted, looking forward to playing with recipes. Do you know if the release would have inadvertently impacted our permissions groups. We have one group who lost the ability to edit member posts in the forum they were assigned to. I had to go back and give them the Moderate Content permission. Thanks.
-
Blog Post CommentHi Augie, The Recipes release shouldn't have impacted your forum permissions in any way. Is it possible that another administrator made the permission change? Regards, Brian
-
Blog Post CommentHi Brian, the only recent change that was made to this permission circle was that some members were removed. No permissions were edited though. Today we received comments from existing members that none of them could edit posts which was one of the granted permissions. When I investigated I noticed that only the admins had the moderate content permission. Weird.
-
Blog Post CommentStrange. The upgrade wouldn't have impacted that. If you are able to identify any specific scenario where things may be going awry, it would be great if you could put in a support topic with more details. Thanks!
-
Blog Post CommentNo worries, we only have a couple custom permission circles and it only took a minute to restore content moderation to this group. On the other hand, I just created my first recipe! We get a lot of spam so new members are placed into a moderated permission circle and have be cleared by a moderator which adds them to a different permission circle. The recipe I created automates this (at least in theory b/c I'm not sure how to find/use a recipe).

Blog Post CommentGreat! Yeah, your use case is definitely a good example of the power of Recipes Once your recipe is set up with the rules you want, you can just sit back and watch it work. As the recipe is triggered (e.g. as users register or post), it will work automatically behind the scenes, performing the tasks you assigned it to do... Have a great weekend!
-
Blog Post CommentCRAP, if that's the case then I don't think I set this up right b/c the trigger would add every new member to an un-moderated permission group. Here's what it looks like:
-
Blog Post CommentIt would depend on what trigger you use for that recipe. If you'd like further assistance or have further questions, can you please create a new support topic , and we'd be happy to assist you further. It's a bit more difficult to tailor the support to you in the blog's comments section. Thanks!

Blog Post CommentThanks Brian, will do. Really interested in the possibilities of recipes. The company I work for has a home-grown forum system that isn't doing well so I took them on a tour of the Hoop.la site I manage and they were very impressed. IMO it would be better to migrate to a Hoop.la community than continue down the path of the DIY approach. I'll submit a support topic to discuss the trigger for the scenario we've been talking about.
-
Blog Post CommentSounds great, Augie! Let us know if you'd like us to demo Hoop.la for your company, too. We'd be happy to set up a customized demo site and have someone from our sales team reach out. Or you can just have them contact us directly: http://www.hoop.la/contact-any.php

Blog Post CommentWow, Ted this is great. I cannot wait to try some of these features. Very nice addition to hoop.la. Eric Dye Lance Owners of Americawww.lanceowners.com

Blog Post CommentThanks Eric! We're excited about this one. Also just FYI...Bradley Blinn has started a cool topic in the support forums to share your favorite new recipes . I can't wait to see what everyones' collective imaginations dream up.

Blog Post Comment"Message Variables" isn't a clickable link in my browser (Chrome for Windows). Do you have a web page that lists/explains all the variables and codes?
-
Blog Post CommentHi DebAsWas, "Message Variables" actually isn't a link; it's a hover element, so you just need to hover your mouse over it to see the Message Variables that apply. That hover dropdown is the only place we are displaying Message Variables currently. Here's an example screenshot of what it looks like: Note that the variables that will apply vary depending on the Recipe trigger that you're using, so you'll always want to check to make sure the variables you're using are applicable. Hope that...
-
Blog Post CommentAha! Guess who uses a Microsoft Surface Pro and taps everything with her fingers (and therefore has no hover experience). Pls remember that hover states don't exist for people on mobile or touch! Thanks.
-
Blog Post CommentHi Deb, Normally those hover events will still work on mobile/touch devices by a tap; we'll look into that issue and get it fixed Thanks, Brian
-
Blog Post CommentSorry and you're welcome that I'm always some weird edge case.
-
Blog Post CommentHi Deb, FYI, that issue with the Message Recipes dropdown not working on your Surface Pro should be fixed now Enjoy!

Blog Post CommentGreat idea, Ted! We occasionally have spammers register and then try to promote products that have nothing to do with our site. The posts get reported by other members and we zap 'em, but by using this recipe the posts would never be seen by anyone in the first place. Nice.
-
Blog Post CommentIs there a recipe for what we deal with? I have posting from email on. Our forum email gets heaps of spam. Hoop.la treats each spam email like a new member trying to register. The post is in the moderation queue so at least nobody sees the spam. But I wish that we could allow "posting via email" but auto decline any registration that appears to come from a first email. Any recipe for that? That would save me daily time in manually declining obvious spammers. Thanks.
-
Blog Post CommentHi Deb- Your scenario is not supported in that we would need to have a condition that checks to see if the content is submitted by email. I think that is a great idea, though, so we will consider adding that for a future release. Once we support that, you can just create a 'moderate content' recipe and set a condition for content posted by email. You may want to post this as an idea in our support site , if you want to be notified when that is added a feature.

Blog Post CommentThis is awesome! however it will only let me add the recipe if I select a custom field not the default profile fields. All I want to know is if they add their picture (avatar). THANKS!
-
Blog Post Comment❤️Well heck Tracey, I guess I accomplished two things at once...new tip and a small bug uncovered. I'll alert the proper authorities and let you know when it's cleared up. Thanks for letting me know!
-
Blog Post CommentVery interesting article.

Blog Post Comment❤️@Tracey - VolPro , FYI, the issue with not being able to select a default profile field such as avatar has been fixed, so you should be able to create the recipe you were looking for now
