Fierce God Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Scratch this if it has already been posted Here's the "thing" We are trying our best to move away from "forum" style posting in our clubs 100% So an idea me and my staff have come up with, is how to make our "Game Groups" aka Clubs, be more social media like posting style https://www.fierceteam.com/clubs/ We want them to have more of the quick posting style, but not have that forum look the style we would like as a option, is to have the profile like posting/with replies.......this would bring in the all activity feed (only followed members posts seen) So when a person comes into the club, they see the posts tab, but it would only show them the members posts they follow globally but the main point is, to be able to have a option to either use forum style posting, or ........profile style posting added : It would be good to have a "trending tag widget" connected to this in a way (Side note:, **the plugin/app called quick post still has that "Forum" look - and turns into a forum style post after................and yes i fully understand that "clubs" are a community within a community......... BUT, IPS has given everyone the awesome power to make "clubs" into literally anything you want!.........like us, nothing but social game groups) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce God Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 you still have to make a "topic" like a forum we want to break away from forums title then actual post items we want it to flow like as if you are making a profile post like thing, but it can still be easy to find and kept organized overview tab would only show "followed" member posts, but can be set to all posts but in the topic tab you will see all posts made that day, then in like a side widget you can search for like april 15th posts and go to them and see if there is anything you want to comment on or add i know it sounds weird and hard to understand but just a easy way to post, so it is not forum like, but can still look clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegan Gaymer Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Wait, it sounds like you are describing a chat room that can sort entries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce God Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 we have chat in each club/group so i guess you would still say topic post....but a way to make it so you don't have to have a title, it can just be the post part with replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elshara Silverheart Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Well, a custom fields area would give you that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce God Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 no, extra fields gives you another place to describe the club or just a extra field when making a club to say it better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel R Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Contact @Spanner for a custom app. It's private but he's developed exactly what you want for another gaming community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce God Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Are you talking about the one he showcases in his portfolio? @Joel R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So group topic templates could have them as well. So you could for example, disable club forums, but enable something new like club postables.

Fierce God Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 what app did you see that you can make a new posting part? Club enhancements? I must have missed that in the description Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce God Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 no not at all @Fosters knows what i mean Its simply a topic post but without the title part lol just like you make on a profile post, and you dont need to put a title to make it, but members can still reply and keep the topic going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce God Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 and from what i hear from spanner, that custom app is not available to public yet, but he is making a public "version" but that is a timeline app he made, he would need to integrate clubs into it to make it be compatible and being useful for me he made it for CGN and they just use it for timeline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce God Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Bump I would like to re-visit this as a way to show a primary example (example only, to be seen as a way to copy, but a way to implement a feature for this) Let's take FB groups as the example in there Groups, you can make a post aka "topic" and do not have to make a title for it, but it still shows in the feed, as new topic posted for person who enters the group that day or just joins There in my group, you can see how you don't need to make a title before posting the topic that can be responded to / replied to , just like in a forum way this is how a option should be used for in clubs i will also link this in Feedback & suggestions for 5.0 as it has come to look like i need to post it in there i just thought someone would have a easy way to do this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosters Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 HM, I thought Spanner is going to release this, so I didn't release my own version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce God Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 the one he is "Supposed" to make is not doesn't on the development list yet, and it won't even be close to what he made for CGN, He made a sharing profile timeline feed for CGN (what you see in his portfolio) from what i saw (lol) it doesn't integrate with clubs and add a new way to make posts/topics like i am trying to implement in this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
