Following up on the discussion started by here https://una.io/d/how-to-attend-paid-course-for-free , I'd like to suggest integration of membership levels, for excluding certain membership levels in paid join. I suppose, that there are many use cases when that could be an advantage, for example for associations, customer club members, etc.
@LeonidS , is UNA connect module ready and tested for version 13?
Edit: Should have looked into the code before. So, I'd like to refine my question. When is UNA connect module expected to be ready for UNA 13?

Hello @thomlin !
This app has been upgraded like others. So it is actually for 13 betas. What troubles did you meet in using it?
-
Ok, my mistake. I thought it has not been updated yet, because github says last code update 2 years ago. And version number starts with 12.*.* Thx for confirming it's already updated.

I would like to make some modules, like Ads, available for my community one-by-one, after it got used to the main core modules. Therefore I would like to prepare settings for different membership levels in advance. But whenever I set a module to non-active in Studio, permission settings get lost and I have to set them up from new when re-activating them. Please consider, if changes in membership level permissions for non-active modules can be saved to the DB, even when module is set to inactive.

Hello @thomlin !
As the records permissions levels and left limits of the members may reach huge values then it may drive to errors easily. Sp the resetting permissions manually will be safer...

I'm not sure, if we're talking about the same thing, Leonid. I mean permission levels and switches for on and off for different allowed tasks (create new, delete, etc.). What's the necessary space for a boolean? A byte? If I have, for instance, 10 levels and a module like Ads, with maybe 10 different permission tasks, that would give a 100 bytes to save to the db. That would be acceptable, wouldn't it? Or did I get you wrong?
-
Got it now. You mean, settings of the allowed actions forms would have to be saved with the on/off values, too. Ok, I understand that this might blow up the db probably too much.

Reposted Andrey Yasko's discussion.
Last week's webinar covered quite a few topics ( video attached ), so I decided to publish post to accompany it. Watch the video to preview some of the cool prototypes and features we are working on.
This post is both personal and professional. It seems impossible to separate the two when you’re operating an independent business. When you do something you truly love it gives you purpose - meaning to all the everyday challenges, so "life/work" is not about balancing, but rather about integrating the two. I have been fortunate to be able to do what’s I love professionally for 21 years now - designing and building social networking software. There is nothing else I would rather do. In this post I'd like to share some of the changes that happened over the last few years and some ideas we have for the future.
UNA Platform
A lot has happened in the last couple of years. UNA platform evolved into a powerful framework for building unique communities, finding more and more traction as a base for custom builds. While we wanted to reach mass-appeal and see millions of sites running on UNA by now, the market gave us its own interpretation of success - UNA became the best software choice for social networking sites that bring entirely new ideas to life. We found ourselves mostly working with agencies, developers and webmasters who come up with scopes that previously would only be possible to realise through custom development from ground-up. We work on projects for education, entertainment, art, activism, e-commerce, collaboration, health and everything in between.
The original vision of UNA being a simple social network builder changed to a realisation of UNA being a powerful community software framework, best suited for agencies developers and tech-savvy webmasters prepared to learn how UNA works and then create unique social networking experiences.
The next feature update - UNA 13 - will look and feel like the biggest makeover we ever had. We are transitioning to TailwindCSS for styling, re-assessing UI of most modules, Studio and key pages. New modules and features like Stories, Rooms, MediaManager, Video Embeds, New Studio, Live Video, Messenger makeover, traffic analytics and a lot more is on the way.
Personal
Personally, I’ve had a fair share of life changes. I met my beautiful partner on 2020 NYE (just before all hell broke loose with Covid) and just two weeks ago we welcomed our little son to this world. Now every day (and every night) is filled with all the joyful moments of parenting. I have two more sons from previous marriage - so, boys all around.
Furthermore, last month I officially changed by name from Andrew Boon to Andrey Yasko. That’s my original name from birth. I was named Andrey Sivtsov when my mother remarried, and later chose Andrew Boon with my then wife when we immigrated to Australia. Back to the original now.
Team
The team behind UNA is by far the most reliable and supportive peer group I have ever had - true friends, great creators and amazing team players.
Slowly but surely we are growing. In the last few years Mark P, Roman L, Alex D, Kate T and Alex K joined the team, and most recently we hired Rene E as a business administrator and Toprak A as a UX designer. The team is now a perfect dozen. As a bootstrapped business we have to be very selective and diligent in our hires - everyone has to be excellent.
UNA.IO
Reflecting on business development in the last 2-3 years, we see that UNA.IO is not just about the platform and the development team anymore. Apps market, operators community, cloud hosting and a number of upcoming services (Analytics, AI, Streaming, Auth, etc.) will effectively form a wide set of products that help to create custom communities. Most importantly, we want UNA.IO to operate more like an open hub, where apps and services are offered by various developers and agencies, operating as partners co-creating the world's most complete ecosystem. So, as a team we will gradually make way to more community involvement and will operate not as "the UNA team", but rather as one of many UNA teams. The core platform will forever be open-source and MIT-licensed, ensuring resilience no matter what happens with the company, and allowing everyone to participate without constraints.
UNA.SO
Founders and business operators that need a pre-configured Learning, Business or Social networking solution will have a way to launch a website on UNA.SO, powered by UNA framework. Solutions on UNA.SO will have pre-installed modules, configured settings and integrated services allowing for quick and seamless launch. Migrating from UNA.SO to own hosting will be available and all services/modules can be reconfigured to on-prem.
YASKO.STUDIO
Yasko Studio is the new name of our community design and development agency. All the research, development and consultancy for UNA is done by Yasko.Studio. Other agencies, developers and operators are welcome to offer services for UNA, contribute to the core development and create UNA apps, packages and subscriptions.

I reposted this to remind everyone that all of what is going on actually with the UNA framework was announced and follows the plan. Congrats to the whole UNA team on what you achieved already!

I have mentioned a better integration with credits and points. I know MSolutions had a Mod called FansOnly that allowed users to make their profile a subscription and be able to charge to see pictures, videos, etc. Most mod developers are waiting for UNA 13 final to start making changes, but a lot of 3rd party mods don't work correctly right now. Some have even debated on leaving because some mods are now obsolete because of all the changes.
One option I think that would have been really beneficial would let UNA have access to all the mods in the store and see how their updates effect other mods. Also let mod developers have a "sandbox" to see how their mods integrate with others and updates. Also maybe UNA can do some private video chats events with mod creators to answer questions, brainstorm etc
-
Yeah thats a good Idea too.
I have this only Fans Module ... i like it but for users to complicated under the Profiles, better were when they can give prices and sconto actions for each picture and video or expliziet content. At moment the FansOnly module is for all content. and it should give a way that u can choose in it, Payment by credits or points not in money.
-
In my opinion there are only 3 good module writers @AQB Soft , @MSolutions , @Jerome Mingo and @Stephen-Mystic Inam with the Apps.
One should perhaps also take outdated modules from the market that no longer work anyway and where the owners of the modules can no longer be reached.
