Create Post (context) not showing up on homepage anymore
The create post (context) block does not show up on the homepage anymore. I woke up this morning and it disappeared from the front end of the site.

Create Post (public) shows up on the homepage, but (context) doesn't.
-
“Create Posts (context)” needs to be On context-module page, like inside a Group, Event or profile. For homepage it is correct to use the "Create Post" or "Create Post (Public)".

This may be related but after upgrade we noticed that the plus sign on the Discussions with Recent Posts disappeared. The other plus sign is still there which is near the member’s name on the top right.
How can we get the plus sign (sys-icon plus) to show again on the Discussions with Recent Posts block.
Its may be helpful to UNA if there was a page where likely mishaps during upgrades are listed with the solutions. Since this program is relatively new, that would be like a glossary and would log every type of event likely with methods of correction. Just an idea.

The problem with this is that Create Post (Public) only gives you the privacy option of Public. Any future change planned to modify this to Friends Only?

Hello
Since RC2, there are 3 different 'Create Post' blocks:
1. Create Post (Public) - which can be used on home page with Public Timeline. This create post form allows to create Public posts only.2. Create Post (Context) - can be used on context pages like, View Person/Organization profile, View Group/Event/Space page. This post form doesn't allow to select Privacy at all, because in this case post is created in the context (profile, group, etc).
3. Create Post - is a general post form which allows to change privacy as you want. You may create public post, post available for friends only or even create it in some context.
You may notice that Timeline has exactly the same post blocks:
1. Post to Public Feed - for Public Timeline on Home page.
2. Post to Context Feed - for Profile Timeline on view profile/context pages.
3. Post to Feed - for Dashboard Timeline.

I will check again but I've only seen the 2 originals. Public and Context
-
If you go to Pages-> Homepage, only 2 options available for Create Post.
-
As I mentioned, reorganization was done in RC2. If you have this version, you may see all available blocks in Studio -> Pages Builder -> Add Block popup -> System tab. And it doesn't matter on which page you're opening the popup. But you need to remember about the rules described above when you'll add one of the blocks on some page.
-
It means that previously you've added both 'Create Post' blocks on the same page. :)
-
I have. I will look into it further once I'm back in front the computer. Thanks for the info Anton
-
You are welcome! :)
-
Thanks Anton L, all the more reason why there should be a page with these changes and locations for implimenting this, otherwise the only ones who know are those developers at UNA. This is a ton of stuff to remember!

Completely skipped the add block section earlier when I was reading between appointments. However, I have added the block now and see that all the choices you could possibly need are in the dropdown box. I have created a new update but when I click post, the screen refreshes but nothing actually posts.
-
Figured it out. After adding the block Create Post to the Homepage, the code for Create Post block read:
array (
'module' => 'system',
'method' => 'get_create_post_form',
'params' =>
array (0=>0,
),
'class' => 'TemplServices',
)I removed the 0=>0, from the array and it does create the new post correctly now.

Hello
1. I think you cannot see newly posted Updates because you have "incorrect" Timeline block on a page where you've tested. For example, you are working with Home page and have 'Public Feed (Timeline)' block there. If you put 'Create Post' or 'Post to Feed' blocks on this page then you won't see newly posted updates, because they are posted in your author's profile context or some other if it was selected in Visibility field. In this case you should use 'Create Post (Public)' or 'Post to Public Feed' blocks.
2. When you removed '0=>0' from block description you've created 'Create Post (Public)' block from 'Create Post' one.
So, let's summarize: Each 'Create Post' ('Post to Feed') block should be used with appropriate Timeline (Outline) block:
1. 'Create Post (Public)' and 'Post to Public Feed' should be used with 'Public Feed';
2. 'Create Post (Context)' and 'Post to Context Feed' should be used with 'Profile Feed';
3. 'Create Post' or 'Post to Feed' should be used with 'Feed'.
If you take a look at fresh installed Timeline app you'll see exactly the same block pairs on Home, Profile and Dashboard pages. To be sure, which create post adn/or timeline block is used on some page it would be better to check it via Studio -> Pages builder, because blocks have unique names there. In user end they are almost similar. Also you may read more about Timeline module and available Timeline/Outline blocks here.

Anton L I am working too fast. I understand exactly now. I was using Public Feed (Timeline) therefore it needs Create Post (Public). I deactivate Public Feed (Timeline) and activate Feed (Timeline) and see the many times I tried updating my status. lol Sorry for the cloudiness of my brain. Thanks for clarifying and your patience. спасибо!
-
That's true. They should create a separate section with each change and put it in the navigation menu so we all know exactly what's going on all the time. Maybe they can use the "pages" app and just post the updates there.

You are welcome! :)
Не за что!
