Group Collaboration

Any ideas?

No. It's not.

Hi Kevin, I am on ips 4.2 beta 6a and I get this error when trying to edit groups (not in your app but ips). I only ask cause I see a collab_hook. Do you think it is caused by your app? I did try deactivating it and no joy, I did not uninstall it cause I want to keep my settings and all groups.

Thats not a collab category that youre looking at. Thats a database category. You need to look in the pages app config of your collab category (in the ACP) and enable the specific database that you are trying to create database categories/records for in your collabs.

Sorry, I didn't get it. There's no option to select a certain database when creating a Page within a Collab, is there?

This means I can't get to any of my collabs in subcategories via mobile unless they're in the Latest Collabs list.

I have a category called Research, which is basically a container category which contains subcategories with other domains in them. When I access my Collabs area on my mobile phone, I can access the Research category, but no subcategories show up - all I get is 0 domains (which is correct, since it's a container category) along with a list of "Latest Collabs." The container categories don't show up at all in any theme, including the Invision default theme.

Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to show collaboration contributions on the homepage. For example, I am working on a homepage atm that will feature some divisions for my clan. I am wondering how I could include the content count on a block like this Like something {$collab(4)=>contentCount} or something, 4 being the number of the collab. Thanks!, zen

I can confirm this behavior. I'll look into what can be done to fix it.

It was really late at night and my mind was a bit scrambled after staring at a screen for hours but I can tell you the settings I have which currently enable this configuration: In the adminCP Guest group permission settings for Collabs, See Category is enabled for all Collabs, but nothing else. The Collabs themselves are set up as Invite Only in the individual settings That's all I can see right now. If there's anything else I will be sure to post it here.

For other visitors would be great to know, what did you do to figure out your problem? Can you share it with us?

I have a question about viewing permissions. I have a category called "Learning Spaces." I set the permissions in the adminCP so that Guests can only See Category and nothing else. However, when I browse my site as a guest I find that guests can not only enter the category, but also view the Collabs in the category. They can even enter the Collabs, but when they try to access blogs or forums they get knocked back. I suppose this has something to do with Guest group permissions in the IPS core, but I assumed that they wouldn't even be able to get into the Collabs list since View Collabs is turned off for Guests? The only alternative to this is to disable See Category for guests, which would make "Learning Spaces" entirely invisible. Ideally, I'd like guests to be able to enter the category but not enter individual Collabs to see the apps inside the Collab. Does this make sense? Thanks again! EDIT: I figured this one out - please disregard this post!

I notice that when I have a blog created inside a Collab, I can set the cover photo for the Collab itself, but when I enter the Collab I can't set a photo for its blog. In fact, the Photo drop-down menu for the blog doesn't seem to do much of anything; if I click "reposition photo" (for a photo that isn't there) it clears the entire blog information panel, and then it clears my Collab cover photo! If I then click the Photo drop-down menu and re-browse in a photo, the photo ends up not in the Blog position, but the Collab position (and the blog information panel is blanked out again). So in short - I guess we can't set a blog's individual photo? This seems like a bug.

"Menu view" wasn't very clear on my part, but let me rephrase: For one Collab (which is a copy of a model, which shouldn't matter either way) I have two views open in two different browser tabs: the first view is the Collab listing in the category which lists the Collab, its apps and the number of items in each app - what your screenshots show above. The second tab is the view inside the Collab itself, which is the screen with the Collab menu and the COllab management button. Basically, I uploaded two test files into the Downloads category for this Collab. The files uploaded fine, and they are there in the Downloads category inside the Collab. But when I refresh the first tab to get an updated count of apps and items inside those apps, the Files don't show up - the Download app doesn't even list beside the other apps. Even pressing CTRL+F5 to force a complete reload doesn't refresh the view in the first tab. I have to go into Collab Settings in the adminCP and click the Recount Collab Stats button - when I do that, then the file app and its items show in the first tab. If I understand you correctly, this should be happening on the fly. I did rename the Downloads app in my site, so I don't know if that has anything to do with this issue. I also renamed "Gallery" to "Media Gallery," which hasn't caused stats problems for that app. Hope this makes sense! EDIT: I just tried uploading two more test files into my Downloads category, and they did not automatically update in the Collab stats (i.e. the File count remains at 2). If I click the Recount Collab Stats button it's fixed again, but obviously I shouldn't have to do this every time I upload new files. EDIT 2: my next experiment was to delete the Download category, which should get rid of the 4 files and reduce the Contributions count for that Collab by 4. In my adminCP I ran the delete process until it was completed, then I reloaded the Collab stats view - the count of 4 files still shows up in the listing, although when you enter the Collab the Downloads category is gone (which is right, since it's deleted). Once again, clicking the Recount Collab Stats button fixes the view.

Is there a way to auto follow something in IPS via core or via a custom plugin? If so, it will work with collabs.

Now, after that post:

I'm not clear on what stats you are looking at since I'm not sure what a menu view is. But stats are calculated on the fly. For example, while typing this, the stats on this collab show:

Issue was fixed by the author of the plugin.

Got it, it was a conflict with (DF42) Advanced Multi-Tool 1.0.1 https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/8583-df42-advanced-multi-tool/ I will communicate with the author. Thank you

Never seen that one before. Something on your site is haywire. You could try to clear your caches by going to the ACP support toll and see if that fixes your problem.

Hi there, I created 2 categories and when I open the collab page and get the 2 categories, I click browse on the first one or second one and get: Sorry, there is a problem Something went wrong. Please try again. Error code: EX0 This error was probably caused by application Groups and Clans. If the issue persists, disable it and contact the author for further assistance.

With a bit of creativity... One could create a custom field for collabs in the rules app that would be for disabling "ads". Then it could be toggled by hand or by rule. Then the field could be used in custom code, either in a custom block or possibly on the theme layer to conditionally display the advertisement. Of course, one would need to be savvy enough to work out the details of all that. But it could be done I suppose.

Just got the app today and love it already, much more complete then club. Is there a way to display adverts on every collab by default and have them pay to remove it? I have the IPS commerce and your rules app, I thouh it might be possible with a bit of creativity. Thank you for your work

Did you enable the use of the new database in your collab category? If not, then thats why it is not showing it.

Hi, I had one Database in my configuration, and when I enabled Pages for a collab, they were created within that database/page. What I mean was: the database/page was called "academy", with the address forum.smartcat.ai/academy. When I created an in-collab category, say, "book", it would appear as "forum.smartcat.ai/academy/book". I decided to separate out the in-collab page from the main one (because having it under "academy" really made no sense, and I might have needed some additional fields/settings). So I created another database, created some categories within it, and clicked "Move to Collab". It said "Successfully moved to collab", but it didn't. The pages/categories did not appear within the collab, and they were basically gone altogether. If I try entering the URL directly, I get this in-collab error message: So, the question is, is there any way to create a collab category within a certain system database?
