Tips❤️Flash works in hoopla, but of course, not on iPads and Android (latest versions). We had a really good flash logo on our homepage vAnd our recent site stats told us 18% of our users were using those OS', and thus, seeing a big blank space where our...

Tips❤️By default, the top navigation menu is aligned left within the body of the page, which itself is centered and 1000 pixels wide. It looks like this normally: You can center that top nav menu, however, so it looks like this...

Tips❤️A common design choice is to uppercase all letters in the top navigation menu. You can easily do this on your site by adding this custom CSS to your theme: table.horizontalMenu { text-transform: uppercase; } To add this, go to...

Tips❤️Just as you can use Font Awesome font icons for premium member badges, you can also use them for any permission circle badges, or activity level badges (instead of titles). For purposes of this tip, we will be creating a badge for Activity Level Titles, which can be set via Recipes. First, select the font icon you want from the FontAwesome list of icons, here . Note that while the Solid and Brands icons are free to use, Regular, Light, and Duotone require that you purchase a Pro license.

Tips❤️Want to add breadcrumbs to the mobile view for your site? We've come up with some custom CSS (thanks, @Brian Lenz!) that you can use to show the "closest" two levels of the forum breadcrumbs on mobile devices. You would insert this CSS in the the Custom CSS field in your Display Settings: .breadcrumbs-wrapper.hide-for-small-only { display: inherit !important; } @media only screen and (max-width: 40.0625em) { .h-page-for-FORUM nav.breadcrumbs li.breadcrumb { display: none; }...

Tips❤️You already know that you can insert images into your Hoop.la posts by clicking "Add Attachments." But do you know how to refine the SEO value for each image? This quick tip offers some additional options that may help optimize your post (and make it easier to read for accessibility purposes). You'll notice there's an Attachments box at the bottom of the post, which is where you can adjust the Title and Caption if you'd like to do so. The Title field will default to the filename, but it's...

Blog Post CommentI hear & see where you are coming from. At work I have to carry over & or "bank" leave I have not taken in a "leave year". So the following year I have more to take but I still may not have the need to take this leave. If the concept of unlimited leave was used, this situation would not exist & I would be comfortable in the knowledge that should the circumstances occur the leave would be available if required... Simple.. Having said that, I do work with some (very undisciplined)...

Blog Post CommentHi 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

Topic Reply👍🏆Thank you guys, all really good information. I will have to digest it! I have the basic structure of the site laid out. It is geared toward fostering exchange and encouraging interaction between members with each subgroup (with the exception of "medical conditions in the field") having it's own introduction and event forum, and a separate discussion forum. There are also chat rooms set up for each subgroup, including each medical condition listed in the "medical conditions in the field." I...

Topic ReplyI assist a large and varied recreational vehicle information forum in connecting its 23,000+ members to those who are outstanding in the field of posting valued CONTENT topic threads (formerly listed separately from COMMENTS). This moderately popular activity and the valuable ability of any member to access via these former CONTENT links in our gurus of knowledge Profile links is seriously degraded by the lumping of CONTENT and COMMENTS into what has been and remains the basic Display All...

Topic ReplyHi, Derek! You can create an Automation Rule that comps them a Premium Membership based on their response to a profile field: 1. In Automation Rules, add a new Rule, and give it a name ("Comp Premium Membership for Retired Members", for instance). 2. The Trigger will be "Member Registers". 3. For Condition, choose Profile File Field Value, and then scroll to the appropriate listed field (you can choose more than one value, so here's your chance to choose both "Retired" and "Disabled" if...

Topic ReplyThanks! (add: you insert the code in the Display Settings / custom css field) How can we control the font in the Nav Bar there? (Not a fan of the all caps and font size)

Blog Post CommentHi Neil- you can paste anything you want in your HEAD area (including touch icons). The HEAD field is found in Display Settings.

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...

Blog Post CommentHi Richard- There is no setting to prevent it, but you could apply some custom CSS to hide it: div.likeReplyColumn { display:none !important; } (Add that to your Custom CSS field in Display Settings in your admin control panel.)

Topic ReplyHi, @Valerie Krist : I just saw this and wondered if you'd gotten an answer someplace else? If not, you'll want to go to Settings>>Design>>Display Settings, and add that CSS to the field marked "Custom CSS".

Topic ReplyThat's a fun effect. I wonder...would be pretty cool if when 'blobbing' on roll over a text also appeared saying, " Member Since 2010 ." Or "likes cats" (i.e. something from their profile's "blob field.") Would be a fun recognition.

Blog Post CommentNice idea. Is there a way to upload multiple badges to this same field? I have a situation where people can accumulate more than one honor and it would be nice to be able to accommodate at least 3 badges here.
-
Blog Post CommentHi Julie! You could do that a couple of ways: first, you could just create three fields; second, you could collage the three images and upload them into the field as one image.

Blog Post CommentRight, the collaging takes a lot more time though because people can have different combinations of badges. Wanted them all in one field, as the one field already takes up a ton of space in the member profile. Hope you will consider a gallery-style photo upload option here.
