However I feel I need to endorse that if there is a way then you will find it, you always do ?

Appreciate that its not planned but this would be a really useful addition, a live stream in the sidebar updating every x seconds, is it something you will consider doing please?

I'm not 100% clear on what you're asking with the second half of this post. I believe this is already supported, but I'm not certain, as I don't fully understand the question. Please clarify.

Currently when a thread is created, in the social stream it appears with a reply box underneath it for you to be able to type a response. However if a reply to a thread appears in the feed (which is the vast majority of all feed entries) there is no reply box to respond to the previous comment. The only time you get the option to comment is on brand new topics, not posts to topics.

Hopefully that makes sense?

@HeadStand - I have found a bug as well - your application replaces one of the default language strings so for Blog entries and also for Database records it replaces the comment count language string in VNC to Enable Comments? as per the screen shot below;

@HeadStand - I think these two points are bugs but will be guided by you, if you select one of the filters from the left hand menu, lets say new blog entries, in filters the list to new blog entries only. When the page auto refreshes to check for new content it puts the view back to All Content yet the New Blog entries option is still the one checked down the left hand menu.

Likewise if you are partway through writing a response using the inline comment feature to a particular thread or blog and it auto refreshes whilst you are typing then you loose everything you have typed in the comments section and have to start again. That really needs resolving as that could get quite tedious.

Many Thanks

A couple more suggestions for you @HeadStand

1. Could the posted times of the last activities auto refresh in the stream to so that they are relevant without having to refresh the page? Otherwise you get a series of items posted 'Just Now' when in fact they could be some time ago.
    
2. Could you add the ability to drag and drop the Action Types in the ACP into a different sort order so that they display accordingly on the front end rather than just alphabetical order. For instance it would be useful to have Blog Comments come under New Blogs instead of being separated the way they are. I know I can edit the titles and be creative but it would be better to simply allow some sorting ACP side.

@HeadStand - Could we have it so the sidebar widget auto-refreshes to please?

Also - is there any way you can add the ability to add a reply direct in the feed when a topic is replied to as opposed to just when it is created? That would help if you wanted to chip in on the conversation without leaving the stream.

Many Thanks

Interesting point ... I can see a use for both to be honest. They would both be very useful but for my situation I would be happy with member can manage all, clearly others may prefer different I suppose.

I agree that is needed but doesn't work in a lot of cases. I have someone who purchases some advertising on the site and I want them to use this plugin to manage tha advertising by uploading there banner etc. They can then change it at any point for promoted products. But I have others in that group I don't want to be able to update one particular set but I want them to manage a section on another page so I need another secondary group just for them. 

That at is not the best way of doing it, to need a secondary group for each section you have on each page if they are managed by different people I need many separate secondary groups.

@onlyME I would really like to see anew feature for this where you can assign a specific user or an array of users to manage a specific featured content from the front end rather than having to allow a whole user group to manage it.

Could this be implemented?

Thanks Kevin - I just think it would be more intuitive to the front end user to have an option to adjust this without having to manipulate what is there.

Hi ‌@Kevin Carwile

Would it be possible within the front end (collab settings) for each collab to rename each of their application title individually.

So for instance if we activate Gallery - allow that collab to individually name the collab to something of their choosing

I think it should simply be the first answer on every page

@newbie LAC I have found a bug in this application.

It works perfectly in a 'Discussion' forum however f you try using it in a 'Question' forum the original post that is made to create the topic is duplicated on the thread and then you get the pinned post so it looks like this;

Hope that makes sense.

I have uplaoded a Rule Set to the Marketplace that will allow you to do just this utilising Kevin's Rules application. It is just awaiting it to be approved. The rule will also notify the author and all followers of the thread that it has been moved.

Im not quite sure why some of the collars have a breakdown of the content and others don't. The one in the green box area have n breakdown at all. How is this controlled please?

Thank you

Its forums -> front -> topics -> topic

$topic, $comments, $question=NULL, $votes=array(), $nextUnread=NULL, $pagination, $topicVotes=array()

These are the available variables @Kevin Carwile 

Hi @Kevin Carwile - I want to pull the array of data to display front end for admins and mods so I have this;

{{if member.inGroup(array("4,20"))}}
{{if $topic->banned_member}}
          <br>
  <div class="ipsMessage ipsMessage_info ipsSpacer_bottomipsPad">
      <strong>Current Banned Members:</strong> {$topic->banned_member}
  </div>
  {{else}}
  <div class="ipsPad">
    <i>Moderator Notice: No Members Are Currently Banned From This Thread</i>
  </div>
{{endif}}
{{endif}}

Sadly it is only applying to the first group in the array and not all and also I am unable to get the data from banned_member which is a custom data field associated with  IPS\forums\Topic

Can you advise please?

@Kevin Carwile Could you add the ability to set a default sort order for the collaboration list within a category. That way we can set a category to show the list of collaborations by either last reply, creation date etc. ideally from the admin on a per category basis.

Thanks

@Kevin Carwile It also appears that the sort order within a category is defaulting to Custom as opposed to how we had it before to by Title (Alphabetically) or Start Date etc

Also the date shown for the last post info is the topic start date and not the last actual response to that topic, can this be updated please as it looks like a topic has not been updated for months if its a long running thread.

Kevin - How could I extend that if statement to say to only display if value is not null and if the person viewing the thread is of a specific array of member group ID's so only display to group ID's 4,6,20 for example?

Im thinking of a different use for it but would only want this customer data field to display to admins and mods.

Many Thanks

@Kevin Carwile Thank you for the explanation, makes sense and yes I can see the logic as to why you have created it the way you have.

One other thing that stands out from the changes (loving them by the way) is that when you look at the collaboration list within a category it displays X Contributions. I don't think it is calculating this correctly because it is actually just calculating a topic as one contribution irrespective of how many replies are made. I would have thought it should count all posts, images etc basically all content items and displayed the total figure here. Is this intended also?

• updated all GC templates to property indicate read/unread content

It would also be really useful to be able to click on the Icons to mark a collaboration or section of a collaboration as read like you can on the main board with standard forums.

@Kevin Carwile - Within the category itself the last post info shows the last post made in that collaboration inline with the rest of the suite. If you include a category on the board index irrespective of if you toggle the switch for the category to display or if you have it set up with re-direct forums where you would expect to see the last post info it actually displays the collaboration title that the latest post was made within and the community lead. Is there a way to change this to display the last post from any within that collaboration category and the last poster to keep it inline with the expected behaviour across the suite?

Happy to make a template edit if it's as simple as that?

Many Thanks

Kevin - You have in one update resolved the only frustrations that were outstanding to make this integrate beautifully with the rest of the suite. I can say no more other than AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

Well Done and Thank You for listening to feedback. You really do take on board all suggestions and then just make them happen. AMAZING

Hi @Ryan H. 

Just been liaising with Invision and they have come to the conclusion that they agree that the issue mentioned here is coming from this application. 

Will this be fixed on the next version please?

Best Wishes
