General Support / More stupid questions from the king of stupid questions!
« on: August 20, 2024, 05:48:48 pm »
I am just wondering, as I haven't been able to find one, but I might not have looked hard enough....does a forum allow the admin to look at a log of all activity? Kind of a running text file that shows logins, posts made, posts erased, profile changes, etc.
That would be awesome if such was hiding in her. Would help administrate a board, and would help ensure that no funny business is going on.
Cheers
John

General Support / I am refreshing an old forum I set up years ago. Can you tell if I have upgrades still?
« on: August 14, 2024, 03:38:36 am »
I think I installed the "private board" upgrade back in 2020. Can you tell whether it is still set up like that? My logins are all automated so I can't be certain that I am blocked from seeing stuff if I were new.

Thanks for any help.

General Support / Is there any way to get the mobile-button placed somewhere else?
« on: August 05, 2024, 10:16:37 pm »
A key to organizing my people for job action is if they can do much of the planning, coordinating etc on the fly. On their mobile devices. I think its a bridge too far to get them all to install tapatalk. And the native mobile options seems good enough....however its activation button is right at the bottom of the screen....commonly hidden behind various mobile-device doohickies. Is there a way to get it moved somewhere else? Is it possible to have a link that does the same function, thus can be embedded in any HTML I put in a page header?

Hi again. I am back again. The forum owner helped me out alot in 2020 when our organization was trying to fight for patients rights. That effort sputtered out and my forum went dormant for 4 years.
Well, now, we find we are fighting for our jobs. So, I am grabbing up this forum of mine (abdocs4patients.createaforum.com) and revising it for this fight.
Three other things have changed. A) there is alot more of us now...probably 5000+ members might need to use the forum, B) I am going to assume that most of these members will be less tech-savvy than last time, C) there is going to be a chance to spend on making the forum as nice as possible.
So, I am willing to go all in, and get all the bells and whistles on this forum. But, I need to make it a much easier name to type into an address bar (be it a computer, or a phone). Instead of typing in abdocs4patients.createaforum.com, is there a way to make it forums.UFPA.ca? I believe that the domain UFPA.ca is currently available.
I appreciate any help you might offer me. Clearly from the question I just asked, I am not very internet-smart, so I am hoping you might be wiling to talk to me like I am a child, LOL.

Now I can't find our forum in the tapatalk search window, but the settings page shows our plugin is uptodate and that the forum "is publish". So I believe the issue is probably on their side at this point.
Thanks again
Thanks again

Hi...me again. We are growing quickly with our forum and it is leading to doctors organizing effectively to defend public healthcare. Thank you for making this possible.
But, we are running into a problem getting as many people involved as possible. Phones are the modern means of engaging forums. So, we are working on putting together a presence at tapatalk.
Our general settings are all working, and the site URL is accepted. However the status box in the upper left states we are unpublished, and that the plugin is outdated. So, I am assuming the plugin being outdated is the current issue.
As you probably gathered from my other posts, I am a complete newbie to all this (but learning fast). Is there something I have to do to update the plugin? I see a "tapatalk API key" at the bottom of the settings page. I am supposed to save that somewhere to make the plugin update?
UPDATE: found the new menu item in the admin section for tapatalk, and entered the API key there. The tapatalk settings screen (@ tapatalk.com) still shows it outdated, but I wonder if that is just a time issue
What it is saying now is "Your Tapatalk Plugin Version: sm-2a_4.5.2, Latest version: sm-2a_4.5.7."
As always, I am so grateful for what help you can offer

Thank you. Is there a way of figuring out what that number is?
Because so far, trial and error has revealed to me every other group imaginable except the one I am looking for, 0-7 so far has not hit the custom group I created. 0-standard, 1-admin 2-global mod 3-mod 4-newbie 5-member (I think) 6-Sr Member I can't remember 7 right now
Ah, OK, I see that the members list shows my test subject as newbie, because the membergroup seems to be undefined, so the system defaults to revealing the post-count designation. So that means that my membergroup 4 is seemingly undefined. Makes me wonder if the non-confirmed membergroup (custom) is supposed to be ID#4 but something is getting in the way of that.
Update. Problem solved. Trial and Error showed me that my custom membergroups started at 9.

Thank you for the fast replies.
I have only one other issue tonight, then I am putting this away. I have members joining up rather quickly. The trouble I am getting into is that the registration process has the ability to assign a default membergroup. But that default membergroup is a numeric value. I thought I had it figured out, but it seems that my 4th group, which I though was non-confirmed has everyone coming in as newbie (which is a category I don't have). Is there a numeric way to determine which named membergroup corresponds with its ID number?

This worked. Thank you. It is all working like a charm now.
If I might ask one more question: what is the limit size for members on a forum? While we will likely only be a few hundred to start with, there is a chance our numbers could swell to 10,000. I imagine there is an option to upgrade to more capacity?

I will further add that I noticed that on my computer, if I go at this link transfer from squarespace www.abdocs4patients.ca website to the abdocs4patients.createaforum.com in chrome it seems to not show an error message, but if I try this with safari then I also get the error message:
"This website may be impersonating "www.abdocs4patients.createaforum.com" to steal your personal or financial information. You should go back to the previous page".
I can pull up particulars on the certificate but its a real pain to deliver it to this thread. I suspect somehow i may have given you the info you need by simply noting safari doesn't work and chrome does...but if you need the certificate details I will type them all out quite willingly and happily.

I can verify that we are using the the HTTPS address as you describe.
Cut and pasted from the address bar: "https://abdocs4patients.createaforum.com/"
A screen shot that was offered to me from one of my colleagues trying to use the forums:
Again, I want to say I am really thankful you are willing to grind through to a solution with me on this

Thank you for your response.
I am not using any custom domains. I am simply trying to redirect people from a squarespace website to the ***.createaforum.com website.
That said, I guess my squarespace website might be a custom domain. The website for the front end is abdocs4patients.ca which is behind a password. Once people have agreed that they want to go to the forum they are directed to abdocs4patients.createaforum.com. However, when that link is clicked, people are warned that the website might be trying to steal their information. I believe this issue first appeared when I switched the forum from low security (no need to log in to view boards) to higher security (needing to register in the forum to even see any posts).
I hope something I have said here helps you help me.
I am also engaging some of my colleagues who may be more skilled and knowledgeable about this stuff to help figure this out.
Thanks for any assistance you feel you can still offer.
Cheers
John
