Add an Image Carousel or Slider to Crowdstack
Mindy Atwood Hi! I've been trying to get the carousel running but it just comes up static. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> .pc-events { width: 40%; margin: auto; } .slick-next.slick-arrow::before {color: #000000; background-color: #cccccc; border-radius: 3px 3px 3px 3px ;} .slick-prev.slick-arrow::before {color: #000000; background-color: #cccccc; border-radius: 3px 3px 3px 3px ;} </style> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"...

Add Custom Icon To All Member Titles
Lori Hi, @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". [ more ]
Valerie Krist I'm trying to figure out where to put this CSS. I asked about adding badges to title names and I got this response and link to this article. I somehow got to Automation Rules, then creating a rule for Activity Milestones using triggers, but I don't see where to add CSS. Can you point me to where I can do this so it can be based off of points or triggers? Thanks! [ more ]

Common CSS Utility Classes
ST Hi, Jonmark. That was helpful and I appreciate the time and effort you put into this. Signing on this topic. With thanks, ST [ more ]
Jonmark @ Crowdstack 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... [ more ]

Embed a widget as a content block
Dave Dreezer Hi @Valerie Krist , Almost the exact same way that Rosemary described above. For step 3 select Groups -> Group Directory. The widget defaults to 15 groups but will show up to maximum of 50, and it will display a link to see the rest. [ more ]
Valerie Krist We have hundreds of groups in our website and I want to create a custom widget that I can share/embed with all of them. How do I do that? [ more ]

Quick Tip for SEO and Accessibility - Image Details and Alt Tag in Posts
neil Thanks for the clarification. I would suggest adjusting the word "Title" in the interface to "Title and Alt Tag" because "alt tag" is common web parlance, especially in SEO practice, and is an important thing to do (provide an alt tag). [ more ]
Rosemary O'Neill Neil and Carol, I can't thank you both enough for commenting and revealing to me that this tip was half-baked! I've completely redone it, and guess what? You already can edit the Title and the Alt tags without going into the code. [ more ]

CSS: Cicada Effect: add some wobble to your member avatar lists
Ted @ Crowdstack The URL works properly for me. I don't have an alternate URL. [ more ]
Pretty Thunder This isn't loading for me, is there another url? [ more ]
neil That'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. [ more ]

How to hide the page name on custom pages
Rosemary O'Neill Hi Susan, thanks! Yes, you can include other CSS that will override the higher level CSS for that page. [ more ]
Dr. Susan LaCombe HI Rosemary, this is a good tip. If I also have some CSS for the other h1 tag on the page - not the one for the title tag - could I still include information for the h1 in the CSS: h1#pageTitle { display:none; } h1 { font-size: 18pt;; font-style: bold; margin-left:8%; } .breadcrumbs {display: none;} [ more ]
neil Thanks Rosemary. I didn't remember that the new custom pages HAD their own custom CSS field. [ more ]

Rich Melvin Thanks, Neil. I fixed it and it looks correct now. The URL is: http://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com. I use Firefox and I have an inspector called "Firebug" on it, but I don't know how to use it. Guess I have some learning to do! [ more ]

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.

jpmfan Hi, Thanks for the explanation. It still doesn't help. In what way do I write the font size??? 12px? 12 pt?? I have set my font size in a widget which has my welcome pagagraph, and no matter what I do to it, it is displaying what I would call 2pt type. Please HELP!!!!! [ more ]
Jonmark @ Crowdstack Good evening, The REM value is derived from the "Base Font Size" setting defined within your theme: CP -> Design -> Standard Themes If you edit your theme you will see the setting in the "Fonts" section. Consider a REM value a multiplier of that value. So if you have a "Base Font Size" of 16px, and you want to target a element to use a 12px font size you would set the REM value to 0.75rem. That is 16px * 0.75 = 12px. I think I can sense what you are thinking: "But Jonmark, why wouldn't... [ more ]

Use uppercase for top navigation menu text
Ted @ Crowdstack It is the same thing, Neil. I used the term "Top Navigation Menu" to differentiate from the side navigation menu used in the admin control panel (and in our QuestionShark module/product). And in the Theme editor, we also use the term "Top Navigation Menu" as well, to differentiate from the Side Navigation Menu. But yes, the Top Navigation Menu is the same as the Community Menu. None of these menus are "breadcrumbs", however. [ more ]
neil What's the diff between the "top navigation menu" and "community menu." Or have you changed the name recently? [ more ]
