As mentioned in my previous post, we tried to install classes, and the installation failed, and when I uninstalled it that failed too.
I did follow the exact instructions on how to uninstall and delete an app - starting by setting it to inactive, then going to manage apps and deleting it, and then finally I also deleted the downloaded app from the apps market.
But the app did not uninstall completely, and as a result, I'm getting quite a few database error emails. I'm worried that the site is going to break when more people join it. How do we get this app to actually delete?
I've installed the "Classes" app on my test installation, and it's exactly what we need. I want to use it without "Courses" - and on the test installation, I was able to. When used without "Courses", the "Classes" app adds a small bit of functionality to both events and groups - letting you add a list of "classes" to an event or group. I was going to disable event "sessions" (which just gives you a static list of things that can't be clicked) and replace it with "classes".
Now I'm trying to install it on the live version of the site, and I can download it, but when I click the install button, it does not actually install. It just gives me the spinning icon forever.
Is it supposed to be possible to use "Classes" without "Courses"?
If I have to, I can use "posts" to introduce this functionality (we aren't using posts anywhere) but it will be complicated because I would have to disable a ton of things to configure posts so that they are only available to admins/moderators and they only exist in events or groups, and not as their own module! And I like how there is an option to view the next or the previous class too, and mark them as complete.
Hi! I'm starting to figure out how events and groups work in my test installation, and something weird is happening. If I create a discussion in context in either an event or a group, the discussion also shows up in the discussions home page:
Is this supposed to work like this? The discussions only show up for a user who is going to the event, but it still feels weird for group/event discussions to be on the main discussions page, in addition to the discussions tab for the group or the event. It seems like the main discussions page should not contain discussions posted to a context module - like I know if I post an "ad" to a group, it will not show up on the main ads page, only in the group. And if you look on the left - the "popular" block, and the "discussions categories" block - both of those do not display the discussions in context.
So! JUST realized this morning, that this entire time, I've been building our site with an alpha version instead of the stable release.
I installed the software via Softaculous, got to studio/dashboard, it told me there was a new version available, and being used to the Wordpress dashboard, I thought that meant I was supposed to install it right away! (Completely didn't occur to me that the "A3" meant alpha!) Since I did this RIGHT at the beginning of setting up the site from scratch, there is no backup of a previous version.
😱😂
Our site is about 99% complete, looks GORGEOUS, and is working perfectly. People have already joined and are filling out their profiles. The only weirdness seems to be with emojis - which work in comments, and when creating posts, but display as ? when looking at the site while not logged in, and also reactions don't load, I'm assuming because of the emoji issue, they look like this:
First, I want to say how incredibly impressed I am with how stable UNA is when in frigging Alpha - like, I'm used to the various patchwork of Wordpress plugins (always fully released) that I use to achieve things on the internet being MUCH more buggy than this.
Second, uh, are we okay just continuing to use the alpha version? Like, if it works, it works, and it will only work better in the future, as alpha turns into beta, etc? Right?
In the Ads module, categories and subcategories don't operate the way you would expect. IE - if I am looking at the frontend, and I have "For Sale - Clothing" selected, then I would expect to see all items from every subcategory underneath "For Sale - Clothing" - but it shows only what was posted in that primary category. Typically the workaround for that issue is to change the category field to multiple select and have the user select both category and subcategory - but Ads is designed so that the category chosen determines the fields available to create the ad, so that seems like a bad idea! Instead, it seems like there should be an option to "show child category ads within parent category".
Is there a setting I am missing somewhere, or is this an oversight?
I discovered "Skills" in the available fields for profiles, and I turned them on. It would be cool for our members to be able to input their type of craft in the field! Then I tried to have the skills show up in the profile info block, but when I turned them on in the "view person" form display, suddenly the heading over each category turned into a line of weird code! I turned skills back off again, but it's still displaying the line of weird code.
Any idea how I can get it to go back to normal again?
I'm creating a membership site for our nonprofit that advocates for the needs of makers, artists, and other creative small business owners. We have a verification process, where volunteers verify that the person is really an artist/maker/etc, and so we have both "verified" and "not yet verified" members. I've experimented with a bunch of different ways to possibly set this up - including having regular accounts be "persons" and verified members be "organizations" - but that overcomplicates things, and the "organizations" module is overkill for one-person indie businesses. I saw the "verified members" plugin - but that seems to just be a badge displaying feature, and we want regular members to not appear in search at all - to have the public member directory only include verified members. I found the checkbox in settings to hide unconfirmed members from the directory, but that appears to go away automatically when an email is confirmed.
Is that possible to set up?
Hi! I'm considering using una.io for a future iteration of our nonprofit community website (which is currently hosted with wordpress and a membership plugin). It's looking like una by default does everything that's been really difficult to figure out with wordpress.
If I had to I could probably ask our members to create new accounts on the una.io version of the website, but there are thousands of them, and it would be really nice if at least some of their data would transfer over! Anyone here have experience with migrating from Wordpress to una.io?
