When you are adding a custom header, footer, widget or page, you may want to make use of the built-in CSS utility classes in Crowdstack. This should make your coding much easier. I'll break them down by classes native to Foundation , which is the responsive framework Crowdstack uses, and those that are built into Crowdstack. Foundation CSS Classes .text-right : equivalent to text-align:right .text-left : equivalent to text-align:left .text-center : equivalent to text-align:center .flex-video...
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...
Very interesting ideas. I will try to get a copy of Built to last. Here are two links to a fellow LiveCloud member. First one is her LiveCloud account. The second one is a link to the book she has available regarding on-line behaviors. Check them out if you get a chance. by Communitygirl 18 Rules for community engagement
Blimey I'd best go and sign up with Twitter etc. I am sooo bad at this social media malarky! I do have a FB account ... but I only have three friends!! Not because no one likes me, but because I only set it up to keep up with two friends who live abroad (the other one lives round the corner). I reject all the friend requests that I receive
Will do! I've basically been encouraging everyone I know interested in my site concept to share it like crazy. Having the support of friends / family with thriving online social networks helps a ton. And I realized that I should sign up for a FB page so I could entice regular FB users BACK to my site by posting news and blog post links there. Learning a lot and loving what you guys are doing! Where are you located? A couple people have asked and I can't figure it out. Morgan
If I understand correctly, then, we could remove the current calendar listing we have, implement a "calendar" item on the menu line, and it would then show or not, depending on user permission? That would work for us... __________________________________________________________________________________
strangely enough, I have noticed a reversal on LiveCloud. Names being changed, Avi's that used to portray the real person being replaced with pictorial representations. It is difficult to be the real you when you are afraid that there are rather unsavoury people floating about who have more than a mean attitude. Groupee had a very personal touch about it. Then it was mainly American's with a sprinkling of other nationalities. I found the Americans to far more polite than the English and...
Hi 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...
Let me see if I can get this to work in the wysiwyg editor: This is a test Which definitely works. I think that the issue you are having is that you are trying to use the fas class, which I'm not sure is available in Font Awesome 4.7 (the version we are currently using in Crowdstack). We have plans to upgrade this in an upcoming release. Next, since the WYSIWYG does not have Font Awesome icon support built directly into it you will need to use the "Source code" option on the far right to...
I know this is old but it caught my eye (well both of them actually. My take on this is, you do indeed tread a fine line between creating the right kind of platform for a community. Engaging them in the creation is one way. Allowing people to have their input is very good but everyone has a different opinion so you have to start with an adaptive base. The big question is how do you get them in the first place? Of the millions of people out there who do you reach out to with your invites. I...
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,...
That was a long message, so I want to make sure I understood the bottom line. With the new model all members will be put by default into weekly digest mode, that is, they will get an email once a week summarizing all the posts that were made in the past week. As the administrator I would like to get an email each time a post is made. Will I still be able to change my settings to make that happen? Mark
Yes, you're right that the replies don't display formatting on the main page. I'll take this as a suggestion for the future! Meantime, for spoilers, I'd just artificially bump the spoiler text with asterisks or line returns so it doesn't appear on the main page.
Hi @Harvey Mercado , The API is not meant to be used for Single Sign-On; rather it's more of a tool for pushing and pulling data to/from Crowdstack programmatically. Crowdstack uses SAML 2.0 for SSO, so in order to hook up your Crowdstack via SSO, you will need to implement a SAML Identity Provider on your registration and login system. In SSO mode, Crowdstack will act as a SAML Service Provider. SAML 2.0 is an open standard with tons of information widely available. You can learn more about...
Hi @Harvey Mercado , You can set up your SSO configuration so that users of your system will be automatically registered in Crowdstack without any further registration steps. To do that, you need to make sure that your SAML Assertion provides all of the profile fields for Crowdstack, which includes, at a minimum, Email Address and Display Name. Once you have everything set up, then anyone who visits Crowdstack will need to sign in or register on your external system in order to get signed in...
Hi @Harvey Mercado , You won't be able to do an IdP-initiated login request, which is what you're asking for. I wouldn't worry about this auto-sign in scenario just yet. I'd focus first on the basics of getting the SAML IdP AuthnRequest processing and Assertion response working. Get that set up and working. Then , you can start looking at how to handle automatic logins. When you get there, you'll have a couple of options: Probably the best option is to enable "Auto Sign-In Mode" in...
@Brian Lenz Thanks so much for all your help. But what if I want to change the IDP I set up earlier. I can no longer access the Settings page for me to upload another metadata xml. I set up single sign on earlier however, I got an error after logging to the idp, please see screenshot below: So I'm exploring other options and I have another metadata xml that I would like to upload but I couldn't get to the page because of the error above. Appreciate all your patience and help in all these.
Hi @Harvey Mercado , There's a "backdoor" login form that you can use to sign in as an administrator to your Crowdstack: https://manchesterunity.crowds...n?showLoginForm=true You should be able to sign in there with your original Crowdstack email address and password, which should allow you in to the control panel to make further changes to your SSO integration. Hope that helps! Brian
I have not been here for a couple of years. Someone else I have given our Forums to. I am also wondering if there is a way to switch back to the older style. https://guyana.crowdstack.io/home Where each topic was listed line by line for each sub forum. Rather than having it the way it is now. Thanks
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 .
