Setup issues
« on: March 12, 2025, 10:51:07 am »
Due to lack of knowledge and time restraints was wounder if I could pay someone to setup the forum layout and requirements. I am able to make a list of what I want and expect from forums along with screen shots. 

If some of the things I want require add-ons and fees that's fine to.

Depends on what is needed but list them and we can see what is possible.

Will work on the header and colors. Are you happy with the old theme style as the base versus what we have on this forum?

I might suggest the ultimate plan since that unlocks everything and makes the site ad free.
You can also place your own ads/charge ads. This me better later on.

Add images 600X350 with in the post (part of blog)

This will need to be described more where is this going? We can setup a homepage/side panels/blocks on the site using ezportal found in the admin area.


Notes:
Store removed

Add Links:
The editor does allow you to insert links in posts.


Add HTML code ( Video ) YouTube / Live stream:

The system auto embeds about 100 different media sites. No html code needed so you can post the link into a topic
like hxxps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLQ_nR17m6E
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLQ_nR17m6E
And will auto embed

Drag Drop images within the post?
Currently not supported but will look into so more. You can insert them via attachments and have them insert into the post though.

Unlimited post on 1 topic unless I close it
Yes, we don't limit the number of posts on a forum or topic. Admins/Mods can lock a topic whenever needed.


Notifications of subscriber for approval
Now are you talking about people who register on the forum? Meaning require admins to approve their account?


Guest User
Only can only view posts
No download or posting

Yes this is possible with permissions. And guests are disabled by default from posting



New members’ initial post needs approval
Once pleased by the members post will release the restrictions
can post and edit only their post

Yes this can be setup via permissions/post moderation.
What limits do you want to set? Like how many posts before no more restrictions.

Mods,
full control of editing, deleting, banding and approving new members

Yes possible with a global moderator member group


will have a paid membership forum, trainings and educational
Yes possible. We have built paid subscription system via paypal which you can use to have members join a specific member group. Which you can then use member group level permissions to allow access to certain forums.

Are you happy with the old theme style as the base versus what we have on this forum? Yes i am fine with it. Can we just change the color of the light blue/gray looking bar?

I add my header & footer on my forums for you

I might suggest the ultimate plan since that unlocks everything and makes the site ad free. Done paid

You can also place your own ads/charge ads. This me better later on. I like that idea ty


Add images 600X350 with in the post (part of blog)
This will need to be described more where is this going? Just as the post on my forum, thumbnail are just to small, as for the norm users posting I think its fine.
We can setup a homepage/side panels/blocks on the site using ezportal found in the admin area. Perfect

Notes:  Store removed Ty

Add Links:
The editor does allow you to insert links in posts as well as Youtube Great less work!

Drag Drop images within the post?
Currently not supported but will look into so more. You can insert them via attachments and have them insert into the post though. OK Ty just something new

Unlimited post on 1 topic unless I close it
Yes, we don't limit the number of posts on a forum or topic. Admins/Mods can lock a topic whenever needed.  OK Great

Notifications of subscriber for approval
Now are you talking about people who register on the forum? Meaning require admins to approve their account? Correct!! just trying to control all the fake bot accounts, but looks like you may have that controlled from your registration process...


Guest User
Only can only view posts
No download or posting


Yes this is possible with permissions. And guests are disabled by default from posting
Me allowing them o view without registering may bite me in the butt, but will see



New members’ initial post needs approval
Once pleased by the members post will release the restrictions
can post and edit only their post
Yes this can be setup via permissions/post moderation.
What limits do you want to set? Like how many posts before no more restrictions. That's perfect lets say (2) I just don't want them coming in promoting other sites or there stuff with out my permissions.

Mods,
full control of editing, deleting, banding and approving new members
Yes possible with a global moderator member group ok

will have a paid membership forum, trainings and educational
Yes possible. We have built paid subscription system via paypal which you can use to have members join a specific member group. Which you can then use member group level permissions to allow access to certain forums.  Perfect!

Updates:

Changed the style but still have to do tweaks
Have to fix banner image and make into an image map.


Enabled Paid Subscriptions and Post Moderation. Paid subscriptions note: You still have to create member group for paid members and set rates.

Increased the default size of thumbnails 600X350

For signups we have great bot detection so you probably don't need to turn on admin approval but that is an option under
Admin -> Registration -> Settings

I setup post moderation for Newbie member group and changed it to 2 posts before being promoted to junior member.
The people with 2 posts will require posts to be approved by admins before appearing.

Guests changed so they can't download attachments.

The actual header, footer and paypal buttons are on my forums along with the paypal link. Hope that helps. Say if your able to add them ABOUT YOURUBE BLOG links in the header that would be amazing!!!! Then we would not need them in the link bar ... (cleaner look)

***** My wife just told me to make title bars & Post post topic text to match the header orange HEX: #F77911 ( no blue anymore)*****

One more thing I saw playing on the forums - Love the chat box!!! but is it possible (options)
1.  hover over the main Forums 
2. open on the side bar perhaps then allow the user to in lager it if they wish 
3. final option witch would probably be the easiest just open it in a new tab

I will send you a msg.... as well
