i think you can perform the same thing by downloading a fresh copy of the plugin - decompress the tar file go to the file instructed make the edits - tar the file and upload as new version? Or wait for Kevin 😉

made it for for me...

The problem with hashtags for this feature is you have to have them all though out and added in the ACP, but hashtags happen organically in the moment and it's tedious to have go do this when you want to promote something. So keep the back end for 'default' hashtags ones you know you would like to use. From the front side some way to have a list of hashtags that will accumulate as you use them in any of the media, and perhaps a checkbox to remember these hashtags for future promotions. (permissions could retain or purge based on user or group?) If you start promoting content and then wish to promote it all using the same hashtag its best if you can tap existing hashtags from list to enter or start typing it and have it auto suggest existing spellings - nothing worse than having a typo hashtag in the wild.

That's a nice widget, but I want to view this data in the same context as a custom stream. The stream creation just needs to add the necessary logic to filter out items that have no replies. And the stream could be made default or shared. Only been asking for this since 2009

I am still looking for a method to create an activity stream that is all threads by a group (or all), that has NO REPLIES.... Been wanting this for years - as its a way to make sure newbies posts don't go unanswered.

how do you edit the style from square to rounded?

it would be nice to have a tag de-dupe option - i had a forum that got consolidated and before i move contents from one forum i tag them after consolidating some posts will have duplicate tags.

we seem to have 2 version of this in the marketplace... and which one?

in your theme CSS - custom.css add this .ipsWidget_inner { padding: 15px; }

robots.txt yes or no ?

is this 4.2 compatible?

Still want a way to show all content that hasn't had a reply to - as a way for moderators to make sure they have first opportunity to greet newbies.

Wha't the status of this with 4.2?

thank you @MikeChristopher

any way to adjust the padding of the output its so close to the edge of the box.

Do you have any screen shots of what it looks on the pubic side. If a post had 3 fields how it would look reading the topic? Does it appear between the time and the body or between the body and the signature?

is there any chance profile fields should be used as defaults to seed new posts - so that you don't have to select something each time?

So i have a technical form and so almost every forum will have the same fields like what version / platform post is about, that would be entered from a pre-defined dropdown for each field as the user makes a post. how is the data stored and displayed Is the data entered just inserted in to the "body" of the post or displayed somewhere else like above the signature in the post when viewing? also i have custom fields for the user profile can i use these as "default" values to populate these fields when a post is made allowing users to change the value for each new post, and possibly a check box to also update their default profile values? Thanks

i just got this but was shocked to see that the default text is site wide not forum specific? am i missing something - i only want default text to appear in SOME forums? or the default text was visible when i went to another forum that i hadn't setup - - must have been a cached issue - or some admin phantom as it seems to not affect the front of site use

just fyi the "# NEW" indicator does not seem to respect the permissions model. I added a new Admin only category and forums but the count indicator is shown to others with out access to these places - giving

ok seems like it had some issue with caching - I had my site setup for fileSystem caching - and in 4.0 there is no button that says "RE-CACHE" took a while before any interface changes took affect.

So I've installed this but there is nothing appearing for the members to do anything?

Hi Kevin, I think I may be beyond help here, I gave GC a second er third attempt, at configuring it again in hopes to launch it by next year. But here are the issues that I keep coming into. I fear am just trying to force this to do something it was not designed to do. Currently i have the app disabled so I am going from memory... Goals Give the ability for end users ( by permission or group ) to create personal / customized versions of apps - sub-tenants. A faux ACP for these to create and manage these groups These groups can operate independently or collective with the site the determination of the visibility is determined by end users of the site they can decide how high to build the walls, to exclude themself from content they do not share interests with. By making it an Opt-out there is more initial discovery of site wide content. Prevent anything destructive Amin has final say - if someone created a group and they tried to nuke it it would flag it and require admin approval. Observations The hierarchy structure of the site containers with in containers the nature of creating things needs to auto create the base level category or "parent" there are too many settings that novices could never understand. You could potentially get things messed up by not having things forced in to a parent container. - For example i moved several forms over to the GC and they were just there as forums but they were not apart of any "Category" when i moved them back to the forums they just got added back in at the root level of the site not apart of any category (or their original category, were they departed from) Thus making them invisible to the site because forums at the top level are excluded by nature - the sort order was a jumble. Either they should be restored to their original location and position or when moving things back a new CATEGORY should automatically be created "Restored from Collab" and these items should appear grouped within) when you have a few dozen forums dropped on your forum list it's tedious to clean back up. The discovery process is just a bit of a show stopper for me - I feel as soon as i move several categories of forums over to GC they would live in obscurity and it would take several direct clicks to even get to them. The main landing page for the GC when you have more then one categories is just two big black boxes and some text with more buttons you have to navigate to.. and then there is the the issue of having to go resource some abstract imagery to dress up the content with in. I had noticed that you added the creation of links back in the forums but it only created links the the collab parent not to the individual groups. Leaving me to make make more redirect forums to the GC so that people looking at the forum index has a some idea they exist. - something i am trying to avoid managing the scaffolding. - Here is the narrative version of what I am trying to do: I wish have a service that i sell (or offer for free) in my storefront (commerce) when someone purchase this service it may include adding banner advertisements. Then they get elevated to a specific group. Once there they will have their Faux ACP where they can create forums, blogs, galleries, downloads, calendars, etc. This 'affiliate' is using my site as their front end tech support that their tech staff augment the community at large to assist in solving the posters issues. moderates of this group would receive notifications of postings so that they don't forget they exist and content languishes. Currently i have to manually setup a forum for each product the affiliate needs in their category - and the category list gets very long - but it is at least discoverable. I'd like to allow someone to manage these forums ( the text / the imagery / order / who is assigned to moderate etc. ) but don't want them to have access to the real ACP. - humbly Stephen

great glad that alterations to the model does not retroactively change groups based on these models.

Suggestion - Group models should not be a "front of site" thing but an site admin operation, when you pick an existing GC as a "model" you should be prompted to give a name to this collab something that makes sense from the standpoint of an end user (newbie) starting a new collab. Case in point: XYZ Company's is flagged as a "model" but then ABC Company wants to create their own - the name of the model should be arbitrary to the collab that it was modeled after. In addition a description - either from when the model was created - or an automated smart description based on the model's settings at the time it was created. I imagine after a while XYZ may wish to have other features such as a blog or downloads but originally didn't have this in the model so you make changes to that collab - does this mean that all existing GC's based on the model are dynamically elevated to these changes or are they static from the point in time the model was created?
