    Grand Opening of the New SocialEngine Community!
    grand-opening-1024x480.png
    Hi Everyone!

    Recently, we announced that we would be opening a new community based on our SocialEngine PHP software. We are pleased to announce that it’s open! Come check it out here! 

    As we mentioned we would not be importing users, please sign up at our new community. For clients and experts, please be sure to choose the right profile type and “subscription” in order to have access to the areas you will want access to. Note that all subscriptions are free. This was just to aid with spam fighting and with sorting members into the correct member levels. Trial clients can also choose the “client” type and subscription. It would be best if you all use the same email that you use for your account with us as we will be checking to make sure everyone is in the right member levels.

    This new forum will be used for issue reports and feature requests as mentioned in the previous blog. We will close out the public Github issue tracker once we release 4.9.3 when it’s ready soon. We’ll keep the Github feature section open for now as there are a lot of current feature requests, but please submit new feature requests in the new community. 

    It is our goal to have a vibrant and close community where everyone feels comfortable contributing and interacting. Please feel free to contact Donna, our Chief Evangelist, at the new community if you have any concerns. Our other staff is also available for questions but may not be on as often as she is.

    "Ah - yes, that will be abnormal for them. Thus my quess is that this will be up to SEAO to include or customize for you (as they have performed a customization for me for Adv Forum, but a different customization)."

    "The problem is that many of the people I am targeting to join already use forums like Invision so it will appear backwards for them."

      Mikel Coreclark Hello. I have a problem.
      When ever someone 'Posts' on their page this happens:

      Chief Administrator Hows this colour scheme looking ???
      en4.core.runonce.add(function () { en4.activity.bindEditFeed(364, { lang: { 'Post Something...': 'Post Something...' }, allowEmptyWithoutAttachment: 0 }); });

      Any ideas ??

      Mikel Coreclark Hi. mikel here. just doing an update regarding this issue.
      background: one of my borders in [constants.css] was a different size to all others.
      I had tried to de-crease the border sizes.
      Resolve: I think when I altered the [border width] sizes there must have been an error somewhere in script ???
      So anyway I put all sizes back to pre-set scripted sizes and just altered the [contents] sizes, not touching the border sizes.
      This has worked. all [border sizes] on mobile and full site are all same width size with no issues.

      Mikel Coreclark Hello again.
      Ive just been informed by a member, the problem is also on my 'mobile view' but it affects the 'recent videos' section on landing page.

      Although the functions do work, its just the width size that not correct.

      so I think for now il revert back to factory settings.

    SEAO, Push Browser Notifications plugin (majuuna.com)
    This is your site's landing page. Majuuna
      • 1
      Gabry This plugin is new on SE stores and i think in the future developers will improve it .. a very nice idea will be to make this plugin to work by following the user Cookies like google is working ... if you search for something often on google then you will see Ads about that thing almost on all the websites that you browse and has google ads ... if this can work in this way imagine that if you have an user that is mainly looking on your website for videos with tags like cars-garage-parts-wheels-racing, then the plugin can "read" this and send him notifications about new videos with this tags.It will be incredible if developers can make it to work in this way.

      Gabry Hi Mikel, push notifications plugin is a very nice and powerful tool but i think we need to use it in a smart way to make the users come to us not make them angry and run away .. we all know that receive notifications can be also closed by the users, so i think that if you will use it to advertise, some of the users will get angry and close "the communication" with your community ... the best will be to use advertising on your website widgets and take advantage of push notifications to make the people access again your website and they will see those Ads in there ...finally in my opinion, try to use push notifications in a way that you make the user curious and he will click and come to your website... using notifications as an advertise tool is not that a good idea ... as we all know, they invented Ad Block specially for YouTube, because they are very annoying with Ads every few seconds... you don't want to happen the same with your community. If i will be one of your users and you will "shoot" me with advertising things thru notifications, i will go fast to settings and close notifications from your website. But this is just my idea please don't get me wrong ... best wishes and good luck !

      Mikel Coreclark Hello Folks.
      I am very much thinking of getting a Push Browser plugin.
      SEAO has great reviews, this makes me happy. What I really want to know is how it is working for members, has anyone got any feedback about Push.
      I'm thinking of using push as tool for advertising purposes.

      thanks

      Donna Did you check our requirements and make sure your server is set up appropriately? I know mod_sec could cause issues in admin and is listed in our requirements to be not supported.

    Social Engine Theme issue (seTweaks)
    Does anyone know if I should seek support from Social Engine or seTweaks (Integrity Theme) for support?  It requires a fee which is why I am asking.  My problem is that my Main Navigation Menu appears to be corrupt.  It shows in the vertical position instead of horizontal and I have tried everything I can think of to fix it to no avail.

    https://www.the-angel-network.com/members/home

    Thank you!  Any guidance would be appreciated.

      Gabry Hello [246328,Cynthia Silk] , as also Donna said usually we work in here with issues about SE default but we are always glad to help each other ...as i understand you use Integrity theme, then first that you need to do is to follow the steps to install that theme and place the right widgets in the correct positions.As i know seTweaks offers a step by step install of their themes.
      For the problem that you have now, access from Layout Editor the Header of you website and insert in there the correct widgets that Integrity theme is using ... for example in the header you have to put the main menu from Integrity theme not the core main menu as it can be difference in css codes that make your menu to appear bad. Try to start with this info and feel free to come back here.

      Donna Hi Cynthia,

      For third party products, you would want to contact the developer as we don't provide support for those. If it's an issue with your site with default stuff, feel free to contact our support. Do you see the same issue with default themes?

    Default email notifications ... confused !
    Hello everyone, i have a question about choosing the default email notifications.It is normal when i do not check an option in admin panel to still appear for the member in settings page to choose it ?
    I am not using some options on my website like video channels so i have not check it but it still appear for the members to check it if they want to receive email notifications for video channels.I will like to make the options that i am not using to disappear from the users page settings so they can't see it and check it ... how can i do this ?
    Thank you !
      • 1
      Gabry Yes this is the problem ... i have disabled the options ...i saved, clear cache and then i created a test user and went to the options, but i can still see them and i am able to check them ...thank you for your time , i hope [81,SocialEngineAddOns] team will solve this problem ... take care and thank you again , best wishes !

      Gabry Hi Donna , thank you for reply and sorry for not being perfect clear on this ...same too, wake up and had the morning coffee ready for work .. i have put 2 pictures about my "confusing" issue .. like i said an example is video channels feature that i am not using on my website (SEAO Adv Video Plugin) ... i have disabled in CP> Settings> Default Email Notifications to send "auto-emails" for Video Channels, but if the users are going to Settings> General> Notifications they can still see those Video Channels options and can enable them .. but i don;t want the users to see those options because i am not using them ... my problem is, if i disable those options in CP , why they still appear for the users to enable them ? (this issues also for the Core or other plugins... video is just an example)

      Ankit Bhardwaj What I have done till now.
      1- Add a layout from admin panel.
      2- Add widgets on that layout.
      3- Add same script tags and css in each widgets.
      4- That's not a good practice because of lots of duplicate code.

      What I want.
      1- A single place where I can write a main code which may apply on or for all the widgets.
      See Below image.

    Are Archives (files) available for SE Modules?
    I didn't find anything on this when searching for 'archive' or some similar terms (but I think I read something about it at one point).

    Anyway, just wondering if these are available as there's times they are needed (testing, compatibility purposes, missed a blog post about an update, etc.).

    Thank you.


      • 1
      Donna No but what I do is save all versions on my computer (actually on a backup drive) so I have one to go back to when I need to. I recommend doing that. I don't recommend putting older versions on a live site as newer ones have fixes that the old ones would not have.

      Gabry Hi Mikel .. what you want to do is actually just playing with some .css codes and i believe you it looks hard if you don;t know how, but is easy to do it ... what you need to keep in your mind is that in this day;s the "Responsive" option is very important as more and more people are using mobile devices ...so beside the customize that you make for theme to look good on desktop , you also need to test your custom on mobile devices if you care about this ... if you create a custom code that appears good on desktop but bad on mobile then you need to create a file called for example media-queries.css and insert in there the same code that appears good on desktop but bad on mobile and adjust it by the required width device ...i don't want to make you dizzy but keep this in your mind that what you will do to appear good on desktop will not always appear good also on mobile if you don't setup the codes separately per width device that is used to see your website.
      For example if you modify the width of left-right widgets to be bigger, then on mobile devices they can be out of area. You can solve this by insert the code of widgets width in media-queries.css using the width of the device, and for mobile phone usually is 480px,380px,320px or tablets as 680px or 720px
      @media screen and (max-width:480px)
      {widget width code here}

      Hope you have made an idea about playing with css codes also being responsive, or if you don;t want to play like this then you can buy a plugin for mobile devices, but is not that cheap and doesn't worth to buy it if you have an website on the start without too many users etc . ... note that i gave it to you this info's in the "big view" from up as i can;t write an A4 page in here .. good luck and feel free to ask more.

      Donna Thanks for the tips Mikel. One tip to check too is the Column Width modifier widget. It allows you to resize your columns without needing to code to do it. Perhaps that will help you with some of the white space.

      Mikel Coreclark Hello Friends.
      just to start off, I am not a tech so my knowledge is worth checking and not to be used as factual tech knowledge.

      For a while I have been not happy with some themes. the themes are great but just did not feel right to for my site. In particular: 1, the amount of spacing around the edges of the screen ( wasted space ) 2, the size of the images in events and member brows ( 3 images per rowe: images too big for no real reason that I can see )

      So I have been playing with a couple of cloned themes.(insignia, default, clean, midnight)
      In my 3rd trial using theme [quantum blue] below is what I changed the sizes too. this seems to work and fit my screen desktop / mobile.
      now I can get event / member images at 4 images per line which looks better with no wasted space on my screen. I'm not knowing how this looks on other desktop screens or mobile devices but will like to know.

      Image sizes ive not worked out yet, so if any knows where I need to look for that section let me know.

      So just as idea / tip if a theme do not look / feel right it could be worth altering this section or the main colours .

      These are what I changed the numbers to:
      PAGE WIDTHS & BACKGROUND COLOR

      Specify the top bar wrapper width (which contains the mini menu, logo, and main menu

      by default), the footer width, and the width of left & right-side columns.

      */

      theme_topbar_minimenu_width: 1240px;

      theme_topbar_logo_width: 1240px;

      theme_topbar_menu_width: 1240px;

      theme_footer_width: 1240px;

      theme_content_width: 1240px;

      theme_content_columns_left_width: 185px;

      theme_content_columns_right_width: 220px;

      theme_body_background_color: UNCHANGED

      Mikel Coreclark Hello. ive notice that on Events, there is no option to Pause / Suspend events by member creators.
      as an issue has arisen at a venue, I needed to pause or suspend all events but was not able to. I could only block views by members.

      I think there should be an option other than edit or delete.

      Donna You would want to use our 4.9.2 version and get that video plugin as it has privacy fixes in it. Otherwise, you will not have the user privacy working properly for the video section.

    What is the best way to have your site turned into an app. I seen a few things on the marketplace. Just curious if these apps can be downloaded in the google play store and also for apple products. Please give me your feedback

      gs Although I have recently purchased the Android/iOS tools from SEAO, I have not used them yet. From what I understand yes - they allow you to create Apps that will exist in Google Play and Apple stores (I believe there's a $100 fee for Apple (1x or annual - I'm not sure). SEAO has their demo at Google Play as I have downloaded it (I don't own anything 'Apple', so I don't know if their demo also exists in the Apple store).

      Wish I could give you real world experience, but if you install the Android demo, you'll get a feel for how it should work for you.
      • 1
      Donna I've not used any of them so I can't say personally how they are. I'm sure some other clients will post or perhaps check the reviews if they have some reviews.

      I've used free ones before, https://scripttechs.com/forum/thread/103/mobile-apps-wrapper-sites-free/ but they are just mobile app wrappers and not native. They still seemed to work at the time. It's been a while since I've tried them.

    Upgrades v4.9.2 (p1) (majuuna.com)

      • 1
      Donna This is a patch for clients that upgraded and had servers that aren't updated. We recommend not using old PHP versions. However, as we didn't want to require clients using deprecated PHP versions (PHP 5.2 - 5.5) to have to upgrade their server php, we made this patch as those old versions were not working fine. If you've upgraded already, you don't need this unless your host isn't keeping their PHP updated.

    Vertical Menu
    Just thought I'd run my Vertical Menu observations by everyone and see if I'm the only one experiencing this oddity...

    Chrome: (Icon only)
    When I hover over to the right of the menu the scroll bar momentarily appears and disappears after a few seconds. If I try to grab it with the mouse (before it vanishes) and try to pull it down it wont move...but, if I use my down arrow key it'll scroll down.  If I try to click below the scroll bar and attempt at bringing it down, it thinks I'm trying to click on a menu page and redirects.

    Chrome: (Icon and Label)
    No scroll bar and no way to get the menu to move down...even with the arrow key. 

    Firefox: (Icon only)
    When I hover over to the right of the menu the scroll bar momentarily appears and disappears after a few seconds. If I try to grab it with the mouse (before it vanishes) and try to pull it down it wont move. If I hover over the scroll bar and push the down arrow key, the label that pops up and the page scroll but not the menu.

    Firefox: (Icon and Label)
    No scroll bar and no way to get the menu to move down...even with the arrow key. 

    I'm pretty sure that's not the way that menu was built so could I get some confirmation either way, please?  

    Thanks,
    Michael

      MDNobles [176288,SocialEngineSolutions] I have checked your menu and it works perfectly when scrolling down. I actually have to zoom the screen in first before the scroll bar appears and is necessary, but after that it's a smooth scroll.

      Hi MDNobles,

      We have reviewed your issue and we can inform you on the following:

      We recreated the issue as you explained but with a slight difference. The scrollbar did not disappear on our end. Everything else was just as you have specified:


      - clicking under the scrollbar redirects.


      - the scrollbar does not move with the mouse clicked on it.


      - the scrollbar moves with the down and up arrow key when pressed.


      We tested this from "Opera" browser.


      We are more than glad to assist you with any further questions and concerns.


      We remain 24/7 at your immediate disposal.


      Best Regards,

      Kevin Andrews

      MDNobles Hi Raymond...

      My Laptop's resolution is set at 1920 x 1080. I have extended my desktop to a second screen with the same resolution and the problem remains. Furthermore, I dropped my resolution to 1600 x 900 and 1024 x 768 on both the laptop and secondary screen and received the same results.

      Thanks,
      Michael
