Crowdstack uses a responsive grid to make sure that interfaces can automatically adapt to different screen and device sizes. We use Foundation's responsive system . Most of the time, you do not even have to worry about that. But there are a few areas where you really need to be cognizant of the overall page structure and responsive and those include your header, footer, and top banners that are displayed at the top of the page. Each of those items is full-width by default and so they will...
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...
"How to put a widget in the main left column of the homepage" was one of the first questions I asked Hoop about during Beta, and I have seen many others ask the same question since. Answer: you can't put real widgets there. But I did figure out how to 'fake' one there --which also has the side option of creating 3 columns, if you like that sort of thing. Why? We like the idea of more custom content in the Main Left Column (aka " MLC "), and less of the preset content blocks feeding...
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:
I just found this cool (mostly free) tool that helps you pull a dynamic photo feed from Twitter, Instagram, and/or Facebook. If you use their Pro version, it also includes custom CSS and moderation tools. You can paste their embed code into custom content blocks or custom widgets, or into the header or footer of your Crowdstack site. Options include scrolling banners, grids, and map style. SnapWidget If you decide to try it out, come back and share your design!
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...
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...
Hey everyone- We've made a couple of changes to the way that our customer support system works. 1. All customer support tickets are now always private. That means that only the person that created the ticket and our support staff can see each ticket. This way, no one ever has to worry about private details about their sites being made visible to the world. 2. Because those customer support tickets are always private now, we disabled the "suggestions" option in the Customer Support area.
You're so right! I'm a recent convert to Evernote...perhaps that's what's finally allowed me to feel comfortable ditching the paper files. Thanks for stopping by!
I have three custom pages on my community: one for directions to our rehearsal/performance venues, one for our fundraising program, and one for contact information.
Getting your workspace in an acceptable manner really does affect your work. Have you checked out bringing in accessories like Wholesale Planters and lamps. This would really brighten up the place. What do you guys think?
I'm trying to set up a custom page, but for both Inherit or choosing a theme it is mandatory to input custom HTML. I don't have custom HTML as I want it to use the current theme's. What is the solution for this?
Hi Pearl, The custom HTML field is where you put the contents of your custom page. This field is required, as there's no point to having a custom page without any content on it You don't need to worry about putting any custom CSS or theme settings in that box. Does that help? Brian
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!
This has been extremely helpful for me! Thank you both (Jane and Rosemary)! It is always so empowering to see what other people are doing to build community, and how they are connecting online and offline relationships and projects to make the world we live in better. I'm struggling to make the conversion from Facebook to our new (3 months) Hoop.la site (LakelandConnection.com) but this has reminded me to be patient. I look forward to more case studies like this!
I'm so glad to hear that Chrissanne! I also learn something new every time I look at one of our customer communities. Jane's a great role model in more ways than one. Maybe we can do a Lakeland profile next
The Sticky at the top of the page feels too large, and you lose the context of the discussion. Suggestion. Instead of this: Continue to display the breadcrumbs like this. That is: Make the breadcrumbs sticky. ST
More 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
Hi @neil , all of the links within Hoop.la, and external links TO your Hoop.la site, will just work magically. However, you would want to check your header, footer, any custom CSS, ad slots, images or videos from an external source, etc., for anything loading http:// and change it to https://.
Hey there! I'm curious as to what you're looking to customize? Crowdstack plans offer varying degrees of access to things like Custom CSS and Custom pages, as well as custom HTML in the header, but we may be able to help you if we know a bit more about your design goals. Just a tidbit---Crowdstack uses Foundation framework for its CSS. Most browsers include a way to "inspect" a page to see the classes that are being used, which helps if you're trying to focus in on a particular piece of text...
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 .
