  1. I'm not looking to see how long sessions last, only how many people we had online in a given time (day/week/month/year). moreover, if the system does work the way you're describing, it's even more problematic and unreliable. It can easily miss people who log in after you take one screenshot and log out before you take the second one. If you want to show a true to life image of the traffic on communities, a different approach should be taken. I don't much about those things, but maybe using the cookie files (maybe writing entrance & exit times and filtering using that data) would work properly.
  2. In the statistics section of the ACP, there are all sorts of stats. Some more useful and some less so. However, there is the "Online Users" stat, that in my opinion (when cross-referenced with other stats) is one of the more important ones to know how your community is doing. Sadly, while more of the statistics can be viewed by multiple time divisions (I just realized I don't know the English word for that, if there is one) like day, week month etc. But the Online users stats can only be shown by what I gather to be 15min chunks. That's kind of ridiculous/pointless, and if I can hazard a guess, kinda lazy, since I'm guessing it just counts sessions and vomits them to this graph. I tried exporting the CSV file and combining the data in Excel to be shown by day, but that obviously doesn't work since the data in just being added so if you have someone who was online for 45 minutes, they'd be counted twice. Is there any built in way or workaround to show the data by a longer period of time? Here is the "Online Users" stat from our community, shown - the only way it can be - by 15mins. Very important stat, shown in a very pointless manner. and the "registrations", shown by a much more manageable weekly summary:
  3. Thank you, sir! For some reason I thought I'd replied here but I didn't. So I'm doing it now. Looking forward to see this implemented somewhere in the future 👍👍
  4. Nice! Thank you, Works perfectly. Edit: Is there no Mark as solution in this forum? Couldn't find it... So I edited the title 🤷‍♂️
  5. Can you say that again, but in a way a monkey* would understand? 😄 *One who's coding capabilities consist of copy-pasting.
  6. I don't get the need for a "mark as read" button, but I do understand that it has more good than bad potential for those who do want it when it's presented as "mark as read" (like the text button under the search bar). What I don't understand, is the need to make the "dots" (icons?) next to forum names act as a "mark forum as read" without any popup window or confirmation dialog. Is there any way to disable that functionality or have it display any kind of dialog? To solution.
  7. Hey @Daniel F Is there any (even very rough) eta in that issue? and/or if you guys plan to implement the "re-sort" mechanic to the photos in the carouselle?
  8. Anyone has any idea on how to work around that? Especially @Morrigan who asked me if I needed help? 🙂
  9. We've recently launched a subscriber program and a donation campaign, and it's doing kinda meh. Suddenly! a wild idea appeared! Why not have a "X people got this" or some other variant of that next to the subscription/campaign name (or below it if it's super long)? That way all those free loading non-sub scum could see how many people there are in the community who are so much better and more generous than they are, and then feel guilty and give us their money. of course they could also see no one's buying your crappy overpriced crap and just back out of the page sinisterly laughing. Seriously though, all the crowdfunding sites do that, and peer pressure is a genuinely good sales tool. Technically this should be a cakewalk because you have that info plainly displayed in the subscription page in the ACP.
  10. The thing is we only have (currently) one "category" of articles, so all the ones displayed are taken from the same page, and regarding the blogs/clubs - I think it makes sense for it to take you to the main blogs/clubs page. If there is a way to add it, I'd love to know how.
  11. As far as I can tell, this displays a single badge only. I'm looking to have several badges show for every member that has them. Something like this wonderfully fantastic masterpiece: Also, personal opinion, not a fan of the badge design in this app.
  12. Following this post, I bring it here to have your guys' opinion on the matter. If you're too lazy to click the link (which I totally get), I'll summarise here. In 4.5 we got the badges system, that shows a "management", "author" etc. badges on the upper-right corner of the post. However, this system only shows one badge, and only shows when the user is in a group that has the "highlighted replies" setting turned on. It got me thinking, why not have this system always up and show ALL the badges a member has. Plus, have "special" badges that you can give individually to members and have them collect and display them all, like FREAKING Pokemon gym badges! What do you guys think? good/bad/terrible idea? Maybe something like that already exists as a plug-in? maybe someone wants to make one?
  13. As mentioned - the screenshots are from articles (databases) and blogs. In that case, "see all" should take you to the main articles/blogs page.
  14. Just saw something weird, but I'm not gonna touch it because I think it's kinda cool - but it also spawned a group-formatting question. You know those "badges" that appear on the upper-right corner of the post (Like "Author") when a user is in a group that has "highlighted replies" enabled? If that user is in two groups (or more) groups that have that, why not have all the badges appear? Say a user will have "Staff", "Author" and "super-awesome subscriber" all appear together* on their posts. *Obviously, if they have too many badges, they'll a "more" badge or three dots or something along those lines. HOLD ON! It could be like F***ing Pokemon gym badges that people will collect! Oh my god I'm getting hyped just thinking about it! I NEED THAT IN MY LIFE!
  15. So we've just recently launched member subscriptions and put a widget for them on the community's main page. To my surprise, I saw that at the bottom of the widget there's a "see all subscriptions" (screenshot No.1), while none of the other widgets have that same link (Screenshots No.2+3). It's funny because the subscription widget shows all the available subscriptions and doesn't allow to choose how many subscriptions to show, while other widgets such as articles (databases), clubs, blogs etc. do exactly the opposite - they allow you to choose how many "entries" they show, and don't have a "see all" link. Anybody know why it's like that?
  16. Yeah, You're right. Hence the "I don't know how I think it should work" 😄 I guess you could potentially work around that and have it use the primary group's formatting but let the admin choose if they want to apply a different format, but I see that this is a super-niche use case and why you (or anyone for that matter) wouldn't want to touch that with a ten foot pole 😂 Thanks for the replies!
  17. Looked into that thing again using chrome's F12 tools (Dev tools i think?) and looks like this area is referred to as "Positive-light". Couldn't find any mention of it in the css or template files, nor in the theme customization menus, both regular and easy mode. Any leads on the matter will be greatly appreciated.
  18. I'm not sure how I think it should work, so I'm first trying to figure it out here 😄 The main issue I have is (it at least looks like that) with group formatting. If a user is in a non-formatted primary group (user name appears in black, comments aren't highlighted), adding them to the formatted group does give them the permission but not the formatting. So for example, I'm in "members" primary group and "clients" secondary group. I get access to the clients forum but don't have the (imaginary, I know it doesn't exist, it's just for sake of the example) "Client" badge in my forum posts. Is this how it's supposed to act? Meaning if I want someone to have BOTH the permissions and group formatting, I have to set the formatted group as the primary one?
  19. I'm kinda struggling to understand exactly how primary and secondary user groups work permissions/settings wise. Are permission/settings are cumulative (stack)? For instance (just an academic example), Our default group CANNOT use the PM system. We have group [A] where members can send 10 PMs a day. Then we have group [B] were users can send 20 PMs a day. If I want a user to be able to send 10 or 20 PMs a day, can I keep them in the default group and just add them to groups [A] or [B] as necessary or do I have to switch their primary group? The thing is, we're having trouble with highlighted posts - I can't seem to get them to work unless the user is in a primary group that has this permission. Adding a secondary group that has this "ability" turned on, does nothing.
  20. OH GAWD I love (platonically no homo kind of way of course) you so very much! Thank you.
  21. Our community members have started to use the articles (databases) pretty extensively, but they often forget to post a main photo for the article. Forcing the mods to either remind them to do it, or save one of the photos and add it themselves. Is there any way we could just make the main photo field mandatory and make it pop a warning if the author forgets?
  22. @Meddysong That worked! Hopefully IPS will fix that soon and connect one of the fonts in the theme editor to this font. Thanks.
