Whenever we try pasting a Spotify album, track or playlist link (link example: https://open.spotify.com/track/4Ha7jFnF4eiMaDUNvsCm2S), a message at the bottom of the editor says: The link could not be embedded because there is no video at that URL. Is there another way to do it?

I see that there does look to be one that creates something like Articles that people can use, but say I wanted a database where users can for instance choose a game from a list and say "I have this game", or even help to build out the database like "Game X exists, here are the details for it" and stuff like that? Ideally I'd like to let users build a list of games, and then say "I have this game" and then for the database to be able to say "X users have this game". Something like that.

Is there a way to expand the Calendar Stream, so that it not only shows the one month that is selected, but maybe X number of events instead? I'd like this for both the calendar and the club calendar if possible

It was a time when google prefilted the long discussions of forum in its referencing rather than the articles of sites. The least research and we came across a forum ... This is no longer the case today. If one wishes to be well referenced, one must describe long items of qualities. From what I could understand Articles is used for long articles, and the blog for short articles where one can afford to be can talk with I . Why it is not possible to put a meta description in blog posts? even if it does not act on SEO is good to have this It is good to draw readers' attention by questions, why poll is not available on article? thanks

Got this from one of my clients. When logging in on incognito mode I get emails saying a new device has been logged in under your account. This totally removes the privacy aspect of the site. Can someone help?

1. Some "spammers" managed to get through and the gang promoted each other's post to "hog" the leaderboard of top posters. 2. I have cleared the posts. However they still show in the leaderboard for those dates. 3. Howto force the forum to "recount" for that period ie dd/mm/yy - dd/mm/yy Thanks.

Perhaps a dumb question, but couldn't find an answer after searching, but how do you add the "Our Picks" preview to the forum index as seen on the forum index here? Never noticed it before, but was interested in being able to spotlight content a little and seemed like a cool feature. Thanks

Hi, Currently when people submit files, if they don't add anything in the description box it lets them click submit but then their submission doesn't appear and everything they did has vanished. I know that the description is needed to complete their submission but it is not giving them any warning like it would on most sites, telling you a required field has not been completed. I can imagine a lot of people have submitted files and think that it has worked successfully and are waiting for approval but in reality all the info and files have apparently just disappeared. Is there a way I can change it so they can't submit until the description has been f…

Just struggling a bit to discover the basics of how to layout the homepage here; Appreciate any tips, advice and refs to setting up initial homepage layout and styles, like; 1. What's the best way to get some intro text and widgets to the top of the homepage? whilst then seeing the forums below, I'm set at the default forum page view - which is fine, but can't figure out how we can add something above the forums? 2. The user guide suggests there's a header, sidebar, footer areas, but how do we access those to use as the homepage? (not clear in user guides) or - is that done by setting up a Page template and then making that the default homepage? If so, can t…

I am trying to embedd images that were uploaded via the media manager in the Pages Application. When inserting the media tag, e.g. {media="3"}, then the image would not be displayed on the relevant page. When adding the tag to a page created by using "Manual HTML", the the path the image is shown on that page, but no image. When adding the media tag into the WYSIWYG editor, then just the tag code {media="3"} is displayed in frontend, but no image. I must be doing something wrong somewhere. Using the latest 4.4.7 Version. Any idea whats wrong? Thanks for any pointer!

You can create custom blocks which display Blog comments, Download comments etc. -- but there seems to be no way to do the same with Pages comments. I consider this a missing feature (I already created an improvement request), but until this is being added to the Community Suite, I have to take what is currently available. So... I guess I can create a custom block in the AdminCP. I want it to display all new comments that have been created with regard to articles of a certain database. Unfortunately I have no idea how to achieve this using custom HTML/PHP and whatnot. Can someone help me with this? All I want is a block that I can place anywhere in the frontend, disp…

Could anyone advise me how to change this text from standard white to black please? it's the top right on main header, says; EXISTING USERS LOGIN I'm running an off-white header, which means we can't see the log in text!

Adsense says that my Active View Viewable is sitting at around 41% . This is way down from two years ago and I suspect that adblockers are taking a huge bite out of my monthly revenue. Are you guys using any software to deal with adblockers?
