    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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,

I already installed the albums upgrade as well. Should I install the patch now? Feeling out of the loop here.

    Donna Hi,
    
    I recall answering this recently for someone. I'm not sure if it was for you or not. The IM chat shows based on the task schedule settings. Our team had mentioned in github for another client to check those settings and if it still didn't work after changing the settings, and if you are using the most current version of our script, to please contact our support for assistance. You would need active support in order to send us a ticket for help.

  GitHub - SocialEngine/phpv4-feature-requests: The purpose of this repository is ... (github.com)

  New Feature request area open. We've moved all (almost) of the feature requests from our bug tracker and put them into the new feature request area. 
  
  This will allow our team to see issue reports and hopefully get them fixed faster. This will also allow us to see new feature requests and mark the ones we have interest in, or the ones we won't be handling for third party developers to consider.
  
  We figure this will be a win/win for all involved. Third party experts will have an easier time seeing what you want by just clicking the label filters once we get things rolling there.
  
  From now on, please post feature requests in the new area (unless posted here in our community). Please keep the bug issue tracker only for bugs.
  
  Thank you!

    gs As usual, Eugene is correct (Eugene/Webhive are excellent Devs).
    
    Good question as I wished it was explained properly 2 years ago when I was lost trying to understand.
    
    My understanding (based on numerous communications with SEAO and some other Devs) is that typically (again, from my experience - I'm not speaking for all Devs) the 1 license you receive allows 2 domains (one for Development, one for Production). Folders inside these domains are included but sub-domains are not. For example:
    
    yoursite.com, yoursite.com/dev, yoursite.com/test, yoursite.com/v123, yoursite.com/v456
    All of the above would be ok and use 1 of the 2 domains you're typically allowed on 1 license (some say 1 license for 2 domains rather than (2) 1 domain licenses)
    
    dev.yoursite.com, test.yoursite.com, v123.yoursite.com
    Since it seems that sub-domains are treated as domains, then you would be allowed to use 2 of the above, but not all 3, and would use both of your available licensed domains.
    
    So, since I use SEAO as well (and several other Devs' Plugins), and SEAO actually allows you to go to your files/license page to make your own changes, I have all Plugins configured for mysite.com and live.mysite.com (which I may change at any time and then just copy the new Keys to my site; but then I'd also have to contact all other Devs of my other Plugins that have cores to update them for their Plugins to work).
    
    For me, I chose to keep all development folders (dev/stg/tst/prod for different versions) on one domain (mysite.com), and the live/production folders at a sub-domain (live.mysite.com). I did this with the hopes of needing it in the future - in order to easily place the prod environment on a completely separate server/setup.
    
    I'm open to correction of course as I'm not an expert - just basing this on what I've been informed by 6-7 of the Devs I work with, and some actual experience.

    Donna That's a great tip. It's always best to call and confirm before giving any details. There are many scams now-a-days. I'm always called by "windows support" which has been a scam forever.
    
    The scam you mention could cause people to give sensitive information that they shouldn't be giving out. When in doubt, hang up and call a manager of the company that is supposedly contacting you.

    Mikel Coreclark Hello All. Mikel here.
    I know this post my appear odd on the forum but please read on..
    
    Today I was telephoned by a man claiming to be from my Internet service provider.
    This man said that my IP address was being used to send out illegal emails and services and that he needed my account details for my IPS account and my Host server account to combat the issue or I will be prosecuted.
    
    As by now you may be aware of the malware threat that has gripped the world (mostly those computers using [ windows xp or windows with out the latest security]. well the criminals are circling like sharks to gain access to your computers and servers.
    
    PLEASE BE AWARE> spread the word to all your site members not to give out any details and be Vigilant.
    
    If we can do our bit to protect our selves and our server hosts and site members, we can help put a stop to the threat.
    
    thanks

  how to enable/disable email by ML

  I'm sure this is a simple easy to find setting but I can't seem to locate it.  Your help would be greatly appreciated.
  
  Hopefully there will be separate in/outbound settings too, but my guess is that that may be expecting too much :)

    Mikel Coreclark Hi, what exactly is the problem with your email.
    There are 2 sections to emails. 1st is your site settings in your admin panel on your site itself and the 2nd is your server host email settings on your server admincp.

    Question01: If I deselect all of these, then these become the initial settings for newly signed-up Users?
    Question02: Assuming the above is yes, if I then disable the menu option to display these settings to Users, they won't be able to override these?
    
    Just looking for a temporary fix until the entire notification/email-notification section gets revamped. Thanks.

    gs Mike: no problem with email, just looking for how/where to do this
    
    Primary Purpose: To allow/disallow emails by Member Level. The point is that some MLs would be allowed to send/receive emails, others wouldn't. Why?:
    - incentive to upgrade to another ML (notifications will still exist but they must login to view them)
    - ADMIN costs (site requirements and $cost when using 3rd-Party service such as SendGrid/MailGun)
    - site performance
    - security/trust
    - possibly others but that's it for now

  Ad Campaigns not working in 4.9.1

  Since upgrading to 4.9.1 none of my ad campaigns will work. I even deleted some and tried them again and same results. The campaigns were all still there but when trying to place them in the layout editor they will not display on the site. Any ideas? Anyone else having this problem?
