Collab header will be removed on permission denied page in next release.

The "all active members" permission applies to anybody who is an active collab member, regardless of any additional roles that are assigned to them in the collab. A collab guest is anybody who is not a collab member, including non site members and logged in members. To prevent non site members from accessing collab content, that permission is set on the collab category itself.

I upgraded your software after I managed to find a back-up, but i don't want to delete it yet until its been checked..

Would you be comfortable deleting it for me?

Sure. I can do that for you.

One last question before I buy 

How you display this custom data fields in a collab  is itt like the database fields? Where we enter line with our key 

If you create an integer, float, or string custom data field and set it's access mode to public, it will be added to the collab header stats bar automatically for any member group given the 'view' permission on the data field.

Otherwise, any rules custom data field can be accessed/outputted via template tags such as:

{$collab->data_key}

No. It wont work in that way. That data would need to be attached to collab memberships, which at the moment is not supported in rules.

Hi Kevin,

Any plans on supports for Downloads App? I am looking for an application that any members can upload their own pictures to the Downloads file, and this looks very much the same.

Its all hardwired to the pages app. Unfortunately its not very interchangeable. However, cant images already be attached to file downloads through core functionality?

I'm curious, how would you go about adding collab category specific custom fields using Rules? Could you walk us through it quickly?

In the ACP, visit the Rules custom data fields screen, click the button to add a new data field, attach it to collabs (\IPS\collab\Collab), then choose an appropriate data type and field access setting for the way you want to use the field.

Okay, so I have a very simple use case of Automation Rules: I'd like to send notifications, status updates, and emails whenever a member achieves a new rank or reputation for community re-engagement.  Will I need to create my own "rank" and "reputation" system within Automation Rules, or is there a way to base my data upon the ACP ranks and reputation that I've defined?  

I can see how the reputation event is based upon a member receiving a new reputation, but I don't see how I can trigger the condition of meeting the next reputation level.

Any advice would be much appreciated.  

Its because core member ranks are calculated on the fly and there is no single promotion "event" to tie into. Therefore you must create your own. 

The ways to actually go about that are numerous. But you could add a custom data field to members to track their current rank, and then send emails when that data changes.

I have a question,

How can i send an email or a PM to members of a group rather than specifying members individually?

The email recipient blind carbon copy field for the email action can accept an array of members as the argument. So it would be a matter of setting the data source of the BCC field to PHP Code and then using php code to return an array of members from the group.

I apologize greatly for that. It is a bug that affected versions below 1.2.2. Its already been fixed, but you need to update to the latest version before uninstalling.

Both are written on TO DO lists, but haven't made it onto a calendar just yet.

1. No settings included for that.

2. Only categories are supported at the moment.

You could do that. Just make sure to use a scheduling keyphrase when you schedule the action so that it can be deleted.

You can create the notification no problem when a record is approved or unhidden, but in order to get a list of members that are following the container that the record is in, then it would require a custom bit of php code as the argument source to retrieve that list of members.

No plans. Sorry.

Critical Update! Fixed in 1.2.2

A bug was found which made it possible to delete all content from the site when uninstalling the Group Collaboration app. My apologies to anybody who was affected by this bug. Please update to version 1.2.2 before attempting to uninstall ANY previous version of the Group Collaboration app to ensure you are protected from this bug.

The parent collaboration you are referring to is actually just a category. And categories do not have any access approval mechanisms built into them since nobody owns a category. The ability to join a collaboration inside the category is simply user group permission based.

Collaborations inside the category can also be set to free join mode so that no approval is required by the collab owner, therefore allowing members to join at will.

It then boils down to just giving "approved" members the correct member group to be able to join collabs in that category.

Does that work for your needs?

This has been addressed in the 1.2.1 release.

On second look, there is already a setting in the calendar app to choose which calendar view is shown by default.

ACP -> Community -> Calendar -> Settings

Yes... if a mod was made to add a view like that to calendars, it would affect all calendars.

GC in itself does not encapsulate features or templates from other apps by design, so something like that would need to be done as a seperate plugin/app.

No fix for it yet. But I believe I can wrap this loose end up so look for it in the next release.

Enjoy:

 unhide-topics-when-unlocked.xml

Rule: Unhide topics when unlocked

• Event: Topic has been unlocked
• Conditions:
  • Content has a particular status (Topic is hidden)
• Actions:
  • Unhide content (Unhide topic)

I think the error is with the support tool. It constantly says there are problems with database tables that have no problems. If you run the command, does the support tool stop complaining?

Kevin I am still awaiting a response , my community has now been down for 5 days and as you know ipb hosting says its your plugin that is causing the issues .

Please either fix or refund me as I am losing face with new members .

Sorry that you are losing face. However, you are experiencing intermittent 500 server errors. Errors which are server configuration related. Errors which (whatever they are) have not been disclosed to me.

Now I am more than willing to assist where I can, and I will absolutely bend over backwards to fix a problem with my software for you. As soon as we can confirm that there is one, I will definitely get it fixed.
