Hi - I'm creating a subscription only environment for my users. So 95% of the content on the site is going to be behind a paywall. Just thinking about the blogs area for users though, I realise some of my users might want to create a blog which is publicly available. Is this possible? In other words, some will use it as a private space for their thoughts and ideas and WANT their blog behind the paywall. Others though might want to write things which are publicly viewable without the paywall getting in the way. Thanks, Evan

Hi, Is there a way to give control to the general community member to allow them to switch the forum area layout to suit their preferences? I've set things to Grid Card view in the ACP because I think it looks nicest, but I appreciate that once people get stuck in they might just want a simpler view of things. Does this user level option exist already? Or is there a way to implement it? Thanks.

Hi there, Is it possible to add a button to a text block (using the rich text WYSIWYG editor or other)? By that I mean one of the standard system buttons to make it stand out from the text and look like the rest of the site. Thanks.

Hi there, I'm setting up a resource and support site for people working in churches in the UK. I'm going to be selling subscriptions for people to become members and access the content on the site. Scenario: A church has a staff team of 5 people. Bill, the church administrator, pays for a subscription for him to be able to access the site and the resources on it. The rest of the team want to be able to access it too from time to time. Is there a way for me to set things up so that the 4 team members can each get logins, but only Bill is paying for a live subscription? And when Bill's subscription ends, if he doesn't renew, then the whole team automatical…

I find myself using the same Pages sidebar blocks on many pages and was wondering if there is a way to template it in one place and then simply add it as a single block on any page or even just default any page that isn't customized to use it? For example, say I have 10 sidebar blocks and 20 pages I want them on, I have to add 200 blocks manually. I'd prefer to set this as a default in one place and all pages just inherit it but you can still go in and customize any of them if you desire.
