Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted May 17, 20195 yr I noticed on my site today that there was a block advertising our annual conference. I was a bit puzzled because it took place last month. And then I realised: 'A-ha, I featured it for several months. Of course I did.' It didn't dawn on my to log in and unfeature it once it had happened. Similarly, I just noticed that by coincidence our sister organisation in Scotland is having its national conference today. I wouldn't have known the date but I saw it because it's been featured for months. I'd like to think that between now and Monday it won't slip my mind to unfeature it but I think it would be far more preferable if the software took the approach itself of realising that a featured event is in the past and unfeaturing it. It doesn't have to be forced; there could always be an admin setting to automatically unfeature or otherwise leave featured indefinitely.
May 17, 20195 yr Community Expert I have that problem as well. I constantly forget to “unfeature”, since I rarely check my calendar page.
May 17, 20195 yr Community Expert A little bit off topic: this is a nice feature suggestion to add to my resource. Sorry. 👍

May 17, 20195 yr This is actually a good suggestion, so I'm going to move this topic to the Feedback area. 🙂
May 17, 20195 yr A broader perspective on featured items is the challenge to actually manage featured items. You can only manage at the item level. I often feature images, albums, and files so they show up on the gallery and download index. They just keep adding up. There's no way to mass manage all featured items from one spot.
