We have run into problems of confirmation emails that didn’t reach destination, mainly stuck in spamboxes. We thought this may be caused by the ‘simplicity’ of the message.

I couldn’t find where to customize this message and the sending address. Is this possible without touching the code? And if not, is it something that could be customised…[Read more]

I have opened a topic on the plugin support forum with no response either. I tried to make a backup by the ‘normal’ VM backup in general settings, and although I specified an email address, I didn’t receive the backup…

So it seems to be something on our end rather than the Better WP…[Read more]

Here is an article I found about Heartbleed and Wordpress: http://digitalchild.info/

It seems the answer is not obvious.

I.e. I stopped receiving the database backups sent by email as specified in the config. And I don’t receive the backups created on the spot via the create backup button (which returns a blank…[Read more]

Another issue with Doc comments: in email notifications, hyperlinks  appear when they are in the URL form, but they dont appear when they are in text form.

Not sure about the question… I am an admin. I have the possibility to edit the comments I post on docs. When I do so the edits don’t appear in the comment that displays on the activity pages (here on this forum for example, when I edit a forum post, it’s the latest one that gets displayed on the activity page of the group).

Whether…[Read more]

Comments in docs can be read from activity pages (general and groups). When they are edited, the comment appearing in activity is the first version, not the edited version.

at line 615, there’s a repeat of:
div id=”content” role=”main” class=”column twelve sidebar-left”
div class=”padder”

wich is found already on line 575

When I look at the source of a page that works such a friends requests…[Read more]

“You are viewing all docs.” instead of “You are viewing all wiki pages”

See: http://commonsabundance.net/wiki/

Is there a ‘patch’ I could apply on the template for this? because I suppose there won’t be a release of a new update before a while… Though I suspect it may not be easy if the display page takes the wiki homepage as ‘basis’…

I just…[Read more]

Indeed, these are displayed via the widgets, that we DO want on the wiki homepage. But that we don’t want on the page that returns the tagged pages…

You don’t have them when you click on a tag from the tag cloud: http://commonsabundance.net/wiki/browse/?bpd_tag=food

But you have them when you click on a tag at the bottom…[Read more]

Jeeez!

Thanks for considering it.

Thanks Matt. I tried deactivating translate and sharethis, it didn’t change much. The problem was really the fonts that we were not using anyway… I’ll keep in mind server can be optimized too.

I’ve been told our site commonsabundance.net has high loading times. I’ve had a look on website spead test sites and indeed. I had the google translator that was taking a lot of time, so I deactivated it. But the worst is linked to fonts.googleapis.com that takes 70% of the time! I tried deactivating google analytics, the CK editor @r-a-…[Read more]

We are seing a recrudescence of splogger attacks. People (?) who manage to sign up with BG, FW etc or jdg345 type of data entered in the text areas of their profile, that create groups, or documents or post activity status that are spam.

Has anyone else experienced this? And did you manage to stop this?

We have Akismet, WanGuard and Better…[Read more]

I’ve noticed some problems with the mobile view in the Cbox default theme (iPad OS 7.0.2, not sure about previous OS and previous versions of Cbox, haven’t looked at it then):

Slider (both portrait and lanscape view)

The picture that is larger does not rescale properly downwards (seems its truncated in its width and keeps its height) but…[Read more]

I know upscaling images is bad practice (worked in advertisment). But slider that changes shape is not so good either. A dilema for non designer people maintaining systems. Which ‘evil’ to chose 😀

I’m having issues on mobile with the slider and menu though. I’ll open a new topic.

Thanks yes a big success. But I would like to undeline here that this version did not totally come out of the box and that I invested an enormous amount of time to get there, despite the fact I can’t really code. With the help of the community than you everyone!

I am trying to share and help where I can in architecture and user…[Read more]

Thanks for the tip. I have some vague notions and the capacity to learn but very little time. One of the reason we chose commons in a box was because it was… in a box… This creates some expectations.  🙂

Getting help from a coder for customized features and styles is one thing. Getting to fix out of the box plugins and features…[Read more]

I would love to adjust the CSS, but I don’t know how to do that…

I have some problems with the appearance and content of some activity widgets in the default Cbox themes.

– Site wide activities are mis-aligned with an excess bullet,

– Wiki most active and most recent have an excess bullet as well, and they display docs as well as wiki pages

Here’s the link: http://dev.commonsabundance.net/

Thanks for…[Read more]

There is a problem with image rescaling though. The current height and width of the slider setting in theme options are not set as actual fixed sizes but maximum sizes, so images are not rescaled as they used to be in version 1.04, with a slider that actually looks like a fixed…[Read more]

you can’t resize a pic in a non proportional way…

you can’t rescale up…

and you can’t replace an image by another one. Meaning you can’t ‘update’ the image itself with a new uploaded image (resized, etc etc…)…

So you need to upload a new pic and then change the…[Read more]

Not so much a catastrophy as I expected (from what I saw so far).

Same issue as Sam, need to resize all pics. The solution we had before was quite convenient: it expanded the width of the pic to the max width of the slider space, and aligned the caption banner to the bottom of the pic with the largest height, so the difference in…[Read more]

So I didn’t know I had to go to the Cbox dashboard! Now I just see that the version mentioned on the Cbox dashboard is 1.0.6, though the theme page says 1.0.5.

So the Cbox dashboard tells me there is an update available for the  default theme.  Cross fingers, I will now do that. And I expect some surprises… Will let you know.

So what should I do now?

I’m not sure where to find featured slider > all slides > etc…

For your picture resizing, you can change the image size in the media library.

In Dashboard, go to Media > Library > select ‘edit’ on the image you want to resize. Click ‘Edit Image’ under the pic. Then select ‘scale image’ at the top of the center column. Changing one…[Read more]

So I suspect a code line not to have been ‘ended’ properly, keeping ‘on’ or displayed in the caption banner some of the things that ought to have been off… (bold, excerpt, read offline text)

I’m also wondering how come @investa you don’t have the ‘placeholder’ for the excerpt appearing (in form of […] in an additional line) like I have here with slide features setup: http://dev.commonsabundance.net. I don’t have exceprts checked…[Read more]

When I upgraded, I actually found not much had changed from the previous version.

So I probably uploaded the right thing with Bowe’s suggested patch which…[Read more]

I’m trying to find ways to organize content and data at group and member level, and to link, contextualize, search and extract it via a unified tagging system.

For example, for a particular project managed via a group, I would like to ‘pull’,  link together and make accessible in one place all the relevant resources: content and data of…[Read more]

I am not talking here of the wiki home page appearance though, I am talking about what is displayed when you click on a tag associated to a wiki page or a doc. The widgets meant to be displayed on the wiki homepage have nothing to do here, where I just expect the list wiki pages or docs with a small box to chosed…[Read more]

Now we get to a list of associated wiki pages or docs, but there is a display problem: we have lots of not so relevant things appearing before the actual list of wiki pages and docs related to the…[Read more]

Thanks for stepping in, and for the reminder! Indeed, I had not finished the ‘one more thing’…

So now the wiki and doc pages are displayed correctly with my day and name permalink settings. I also have the group page working re @investa ‘s feedback.

My initial tag URL pathway problem on the wiki seems solved. Though in terms of…[Read more]

I’m using the standard theme. My slider is actually set up to show site features, not Post categories.

I’m not sure where to find this Slide Options metabox…  I can’t see it in features. When I switch to show featured post from a category, I still don’t see a metabox in the featured category posts either.

On site features posts,…[Read more]

My Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks are set to Day & name in common settings: http://dev.commonsabundance.net/2013/11/14/sample-post/

and nothing in optional.

And also reminding of an initial bug on tag redirection that we had discussed that hasn’t been resolved yet.
