Tips❤️By default, the main navigation menu is displayed ABOVE your site header. It is also full width by default, like so: Below, we will offer some tips for changing the appearance and positioning of your main nav menu. Left Align The Menu To position your menu text so it is aligned left instead, add this CSS: nav#top_nav_bar ul.right { float:left !important; } nav#top_nav_bar ul.right > li > ul.dropdown { left: 0; right: auto; } Your menu will then look like this: Center Align The Menu To...

TipsHello Everybody, Opening links in new windows is trivial once you know what you are doing. Simply add a target="_blank" attribute to any link (a element) and you have yourself a link that will load in a new window. Example: <a href="http://socialstrata.com" target="_blank">Example</a> So seeing how simple it is you might be asking yourself why do we need a tip? Well its simple, a lot of the HTML for Crowdstack is out of the site administrators direct control. Meaning there will...

Crowdstack Discussion❤️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...

Blog Post CommentMore on the Sticky Header. Basically - I appreciate the intent but as it stands, it's pretty jarring when you scroll down. As I mentioned, I'd prefer to keep the context provided by the breadcrumbs, but even if you can do that, how do I solve this. Before the scroll. Once you scroll down far enough to trigger the sticky topic the background of the sticky extends across the width of the window, and you get this. ST

Topic ReplyHi Rich. Please post your site's url. topic-list-box needs "padding" inside the container: Here's what we're using: .h-ubb-topic-list-box { background-color:#DEDFE0; border:1px solid #DEDFE0; padding:10px; } The How-to: I turn on Chrome's built in "Inspector" to view the CSS which is controlling whatever element I've highlighted on the webpage. (I place my cursor over the element on the site, then right click and select "inspector). Up pops a window with the html and the css source which I...

Topic ReplyThanks for the reminder. I wish the ALT tag was a field in the “insert/edit image” window. A lot easier than scrolling through source code.

Suggestions🎉❤️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...

Crowdstack DiscussionCrowdstack is set to fill only 66% of a browser’s window width when viewing on desktops and laptops. In my opinion, this creates a large waste of screen real estate. In the past, we were warned by Crowdstack that adjusting the display width to fill more of the screen would cause “many issues.” But after repeated requests from my community (www.rotation.org), and my own interests in “trying,” I tempted fate and changed the width from 66% to 80% by making several small tweaks to our custom...

Topic ReplyI have been able to figure out of couple of odd layout issues created by the site widening, but this one has me stumped (and may only be something Crowdstack can adjust). I haven't been able to figure out how to get IMAGES to automatically fill the width of a posting window when attaching them to a post. The images in question are wider than 600 pixels, but when I attach them and check "insert...large" they only display at 600px, which is less than the width of the posting window. Whereas,...

Topic ReplyHello, Crowdstack's default widget code limits displayed content to avoid crowding the narrow widget column. Use a <div> tag with specific styles to create a scrollable container for the widget content. Create Custom Widget: Go to Customer/Embedded Widget settings in the control panel. Select "Add Embedded Widget". Create a Custom Embedded Widget and copy the code. Modify the widget code to show your desired content (e.g., "last 50" posts). Add Scrollbar Code: Paste the following code...
