Kevin Carwile Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 I did and the issue still exists! For anybody else having a problem with the collab category configuration form not saving all the settings when the form is submitted, look to see if you have the suhosin extension installed on your server. If you do, you'll need to make sure to update the following php settings also:php_value suhosin.get.max_vars 5000 php_value suhosin.post.max_vars 5000 php_value suhosin.request.max_vars 5000 php_value suhosin.post.max_name_length 256
wohali Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 There is a moderator permission on the moderators configuration form inside the ACP. Members -> Moderators -> {Edit moderator/group} -> Collab Management tabEnable the option: "Unrestricted by collab permissions ".This is perfect, thanks. You should enable this by default for the default Administrators group, if possible, along with turning everything on under Members > Moderators > Administrator group > Collab tab.
h-zone Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 hi!need an localizable language files without variable compilation.cannot translate to bulgarian/russian/ukrainian language.please rebuild your language subsystem to use simple and plain text messages.thank you!

GC uses variable compilation because it is a variable application. Its necessary to use language strings from other applications out of necessity.If the client installs an app that adds a new content type to the system, and GC needs to display a form element which asks if the they want to enable that new content type for collaborative use, how is it possible to add a static language string for that message? The content type names are variable, and so must be the language compilation.
kar3n2 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) I added cats and sub cats and allow members to add groups. I added the the block onto the home page.however there is nothing to be seen neither on home page or under the menu link more/collaborationsIs this because the cats wont show until there is at least one gorup in which case I might have to add that manually at first?Any ideas please?

ted123 Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) Great mod Kevin.Not sure if this has been suggested already but it would be useful to be able to make the collab forums compatible with RSS/Atom feeds so that the feeds can be posted directly in to these forums Edited July 8, 2015 by ted123

Im sorry to trouble but yes I'll pm you thanks @Kevin Carwile

Im sorry to trouble but yes I'll pm you thanks @Kevin Carwile Those would be the permissions for the apps in the collaboration. The permissions for the collab category itself (view/create/etc) are the permissions that you fill out after creating the category in the ACP. To edit category permissions after the category has been created, select the dropdown arrow for the category on the ACP category list and select "permissions". kar3n2 1
Kjell Iver Johansen Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 I notice that there is some kind of bug regarding our character æøå and ÆØÅ. If group names contains these characters from earlier versions they are not properly displayed in 4.0 (import of Social Groups) . The same stuff happens also with another app - Videos.It is not happening within any of the forums - only the apps.If someone else has problems with this issue. Instead of having gc/{#id}-{?} as Friendly URL - I changed it to gc/gc/{#id}-{?}. Might be necessery to do with GC Category as well. (ACP - System - Advanced Configuration - Friendly URLs- http://www.yourdomain.no/gc/gc/id-?? )Anyway - thanks to @Mike John fixing this in the Videos app. Kevin Carwile 1
GriefCode Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 Hey,i got a small request if that is possible.When im adding collabs, many of the owners for the collabs want to have a great looking and easy domain to access the collab directly.Is it possible to integrate a friendly url to single collabs, like it is done for blogs as example.Regards Kevin Carwile, Achievement In Motion and Wayne B 3
Kevin Carwile Posted July 10, 2015 Author Posted July 10, 2015 @Kjell Iver Johansen, I'll see if I can connect with @Mike John to see if I can use his fix in GC also.
Ocean West Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I had to turn off GC and move the few forums I had back to the main site - Why?I've had a few requests to restore Tapatalk and in their current iteration it ignores the GC (haven't decided yet - not personally fond of that app)it may have been the smaller forums I moved over but there was zero traction in the 3 weeks they were parked there (not one person "joined" them) no one created their own group.My biggest fear that if i moved my intended set of forums over there they would be come a data island.My main goal was to create a means for select few individuals to moderate, and manage ( create ) their own specific forums - and not give them access to the ACP - which GC does but at the cost of removing the forums from the main index and loosing discovery.It could just be the nature of my site - the entire site focus primarily is technical in nature about one software program, and associated technologies. My goal was to use GC for my affiliates sponsors who are third party solution developers, my site is their front line for tech support of their products, however moving them to their own island that is several clicks away would increase the attrition rate.At any rate GC works as it was designed and am still glad to participate and hope to find a purpose that is a fit to my community in the near future.

Wayne B Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 I agree in some respects to the comments above although we have still seen a reasonable contribution rate but not to where it was before. It is a change that members just really need to become familiar with.I think your comments fully support our view that it would be great to display GC categories as a category on the main board index and integrate better. It really needs the ability to see latest post inancollab on the board index. Currently they are set several layers deep within the suite. It works perfectly but @Kevin Carwile it would really be awesome for you to find a way to integrate the collab categories as categories on the board index which means it has the flexibility that GC brings but makes content easily found.

wohali Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) I don't really like "dogpiling" especially when there is a Like This button, but this is the biggest drawback for us. Ocean West hit right on the head why we want Group Collaboration: delegation of forum responsibility without having to set up lots of fine grained access restrictions on the ACP. This work gets harder and harder the more collaborations you have, and GC's model of letting collabs sort it out for themselves suits us just fine. But because visibility is limited (vis a vis the main Forum Board Index) it feels like they are getting "secondary" boards, and users may feel like second class citizens as a result.We're coming from Social Groups, where new forum boards do show up in the main forum index, in a special Social Groups board section. People will expect to see IPS4 GC forum listings there, and today they won't. Many of our users expect our website to be like "any other forum" and barely realize it has articles, galleries, etc. and only view the forum index to see what's going on. Now that it won't show the collaborations, it's going to lead to decreased engagement.One good point is that collaboration content does show up in the New Content Topics panel, so at least they can get exposed to it that way. If only the preview posts function for New Content from 3.x (the dropdown to view latest posts) would return! (Also, I'll be honest - we don't create new collaborations often, so the New Content > Collaborations section isn't useful for us.) Edited July 11, 2015 by wohali Kevin Carwile 1
kotaco Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Can anyone tell me if there is a way to transfer group ownership? Perhaps I'm overlooking it?I set up 6 groups for the forum and wanted to transfer the ownership so it doesn't show me as the leader, but can't see an option to do so.
Kevin Carwile Posted July 13, 2015 Author Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Can anyone tell me if there is a way to transfer group ownership? Perhaps I'm overlooking it?Choose "Collaboration memberships" from the drop down menu that appears when you click your user name in top right.

Ocean West Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 just had a bug, not sure if it's the core, or if its GC.disabled app and had an issue:error on public sitewhen disabled the list of forms is all wonky http://screencast.com/t/YCniwEEBy
Kevin Carwile Posted July 14, 2015 Author Posted July 14, 2015 just had a bug, not sure if it's the core, or if its GC.disabled app and had an issue:error on public sitewhen disabled the list of forms is all wonky http://screencast.com/t/YCniwEEByI see the problem. I would qualify this as an IPS bug. There is a hook added to GC which modifies the member dropdown menu to add the "collab memberships" link. The hook uses a function which is in the GC application. When you disabled the application, the function becomes inaccessible... but the GC hook is not taken out of the compiled theme template and so a bad method call is left in your page.

Rebuild of theme? So recommendation to IPS is to prompt (or automatically) rebuild themes on disabling of any applications, or...?
kotaco Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Is there a way to change it so forums are displayed in the traditional format rather than groups of 4 horizontally (I don't enjoy the pinterest look)
