Here's what a forum list looks like by default in Crowdstack 1.0: If you want to encase each forum, topic, and survey with a border, add this CSS to your theme: (You'll want to replace the background and border colors with your own of course.) Here's what the same forum list looks like after applying the CSS above:
Time to give back to the community! I was able to figure this out on my own. I must say, being able to use CSS to control the display of content is valuable. If you are looking to hide the # of Topics within a Forum and the # of Replies to a post, just use the following code in your CSS. This definitely cleans up the look at feel of the pages, IMO: .h-topic-count-label { display: none; } .h-topic-reply-count-label { display: none; } I've tried this out on my site, so I know it works. Enjoy!
From a design perspective, i think it looks good to have your forum names bolded along with the titles of the topics. To do this, just add the following to your Custom CSS section found on this page: YOURSITE.hooplaupgrade.com/cp/display-settings .h-forum-name {font-weight: bold;} .h-topic-title {font-weight: bold;} I implemented this on my site and it looks good. Enjoy!
With a bit of CSS you can make the new sticky topic display disappear for all screen sizes. To make the new sticky header disappear copy the following into your Display Settings > Custom CSS box /* hide the new sticky header from view for all screen sizes */ .forum-topic-sticky-header.fixed:not(.dont-hide-sticky-header) { display: none !important; }
Following up on now closed discussion of some things you can do to adjust the new sticky header option. I did not want the sticky header to use my default background color, so here's the CSS for adjusting the background color of the new Sticky Header. /*adjusts sticky header to give it white background when not sticky*/ .forum-topic-sticky-header:not(.fixed) { padding: 0 !important; background-color: white; } /*background color of sticky header when sticky*/ .forum-topic-sticky-header.fixed...
Another major feature we are adding soon is "reactions", to be included when we roll out Pips . Reactions are an expansion on the "likes" you are already familiar with, with a much broader palette that allows community members to quickly express their feelings about a particular post/reply/comment. Reactions will be expressed on a post like so: Click on a reaction that has already been expressed to add yourself to that reaction, or choose the plus icon to choose one of the other reactions.
Okay, 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...
What do you think of this? If you're intrigued keep reading. If not; Move along folks. Nothing to see here. Fork to a New Topic We have the cool feature that let us fork a post to a new topic. and the post then gets a tag like this. The Problem But people will often reply to the post anyway - and that just makes things difficult. I just did this. When you click the Read More button it returns to To make this happen. Edit the forked post Edit the post Source Code Add the highlighted text...
Minor observation. Forum topics listing pages don't pick up formatting used on replies such as pale text color used to hide spoilers. Assuming that the default of the latest 3 replies is used, this can be dealt with by posting dummy replies after the reply which has used the formatting. I'll demonstrate this by posting such a reply on this topic. The Discussion listing page will show the text that I've formatted in the following reply. I will, once this has been approved.
Folks, is anyone in the Crowdstack community using the "blog" feature to deliver a digital magazine? If so, how did you set that up and implement it? We have used Crowdstack for years to deliver a private discussion forum to our 6,000 club members. We already produce a bi-monthly printed magazine. We would like to: Copy and paste the text and images from the magazine into categorized, dated and tagged posts. Automatically deliver a bimonthly summary of all articles/posts since the previous...
Hi @Pretty Thunder ! Since this article was posted, (a couple of years ago), we have added the ability to include widgets on a custom page, so that might help you get part way there. If you'd like us to create the custom page for you, you could consider buying an hour of professional services time ($200). To take care of that (or ask more specific questions), just post a fresh support topic and we'll get you taken care of!
Great stuff. One question: In the Activity Point formula, there's a reference to points earned for the author having a post on a support topic "marked as best answer." Can one enable this "best answer" feature in their own community forums? If so, how? I can't seem to locate this option on Hoop.la. Thanks.
Here's a similar tip that actually renders things more closely to how things looked in Hoop.la 1.0: https://hey.crowdstack.com/support/topic/encase-...
Hi Helela- Yes, the the home page is now 2 columns, though you can create a 3-column custom page to replace it if you like. See the tip here: https://hey.crowdstack.com/support/topic/make-a-...
Hi Helela- You would have been sent an email about your beta site well over a month ago, so you may want to check your email (perhaps check you email spam folder, as well). If you cannot find it, then please submit a support ticket for assistance: https://hey.crowdstack.com/support/post-topic 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 .
