When using the Snipcart module any images uploaded show as an attachment. When on a product page the thumbnails are blank with the text of the image file and if you click on it the image displays as a full window without ability to go from one image to the next (like any ecommerce site). Is there a workaround or setting to allow more of a carousel function like expected? Also any ability to upload videos would be beneficial.
As a longtime user of UNA & Dolphin prior to that, I wanted to sound off on the recent issues regarding Modzzz & MSolutions. We have been using and relying on Dolphin (now Una) developers like AQBsoft, Modzzz & MSolutions for nearly 10 years. We've invested many thousands of dollars on their modules as well as custom work. The serious issue I see is if Una is adversarial with their main developers (Modzzz and MSolutions) then those parties will just walk away, leaving hundreds of UNA users with unsupported modules and work. We have dozens of modules from these two developers and want to know we can continue using them with UNA updates.
It would be helpful if UNA would sound off on the status of these developers and a plan to resolve them. They both have offered amazing modules that have many necessary features to a great social media website.
One possible solution. If either Modzzz or MSolutions are not welcome back or not interested in moving forward supporting the UNA platform I would strongly suggest UNA offer to acquire all rights and control to their module library. Have AQBSoft take over and integrate them into custom offerings or make much of them standard in UNA platform.
We await some input and insight on UNA's plans moving forward with or without these two amazing developers.
Curious how to resolve this. Set up a new instance of UNA 13 and it shows php fail in server audit (see screenshot). According to the hosting provider (TMD Hosting) none of the allow/disallow conflict with these. But also noticed photo uploads fail and emails aren't being sent out. Any wisdom in the UNA community would be appreciated.
This is a suggestion and a question. Is there a way (process or aftermarket app) to better and more easily maintain permissions. As it stands its ungainly to add/change/view permissions when there are more than a couple membership levels.
I would think the ideal would be more of a spreadsheet layout with checkboxes for the enable/disable and then the specific edit actions (number of times allowed daily, etc) as simple text boxes.
Conversely is there a way to more easily change these things on the backend thru phpMyAdmin or something?
Thanks in advance for others guidance and experience on this
Curious how to set up drop down menus similar to what unacms.com has in top navigation bar. We are using Decorous template but like how links are consolidated into groups like
"community" for easier and cleaner navigation.
Does anyone know or has anyone used Cloudflare's Stream plan to host the media content of their UNA sites. The monthly rate is excellent for how much content and, as a service, we prefer Cloudflare to AWS or other options.
Curious if anyone has used it or any issues (if known) with this as a the remote content source.
We are running a dedicated server from TMD hosting. For some reason the cron job doesn't seem to be working to convert videos. We've had TMD tech confirm everything is set properly on the server side with FFMPEG so I'm assuming the cron isn't triggered. Can someone please confirm the cron script that should be added for video conversion. Thanks.
OK - DIARY OF A NEW CUSTOMER !!
Today 2nd June. AM
Just signed up for the $50 + 50 plan (Apps & Hosting)
Impressed with the slick stripe payments. Its very good btw!
But apart from a 'Red Dot" in the Licence Field, I'm totally lost as to what to do now, or where to even look / go now !
I've so many questions now. I want to get started, i'm excited for sure, but I'm not been pointed in any specific direction.
First impressions - there are no obvious instructions to follow for a new user! At least nothing apparent to me, at first glance.
Like -
Where - do I go to "see' the back end of my potential new website?
Can - I start to experiment, build an "off-line' version, get my toes wet, see how it look and feels before going live?
What - happens now?
Today 2nd June. PM
Launching the launch window!!!!
OK - Licence Bought - Go to activate / Launch said Licence, and ran into problems with the correct naming of servers, again I feel the fact that I needed to summon Help to even activate the site was not good. Should be a case of; [ imput company name here ] & Click GO!! That said, getting help here, was super quick, through the UNA site. The new message alerts on my phone were also impressive, ditto for the UNA - device APP itself.
Overall
I feel the whole UNA "shop window' is very confusing indeed. I mean - I'm never quite sure whether I'm actually on my OWN SITE, or UNA's !!!! at any one time, it's very confusing, seriously. Suggest colour code, UNA have a different back round colour to own site.
Pricing
Probably be happy paying $100 p/m ok, (if I was actually making progress building a site) I'll talk about this in a while. In my opinion, having your 'business plan" priced at $800 a month (as it stands), when you can not tell me definitively, what exactly i will get for it!!! is plain pointless, to a small business, with a budget in mind!! Mind the Gap!! Big jump from $100 p/m to $800 p/m !!! My site could take anything from a few hours, to months to implement, and there is no apparent tangible way of telling me in advance, what it's going to cost me???, come on! and that's not workable for any business. Consider offering a "white label, ready to go template, out of the box, design and implementation for a set fee, payable per month, all I need to do is change the logo, up-load some pic's turn on/off the modules i want or need, and i'm LIVE!! A "definable feature package' memberships, forum, live chat, blog, photos etc for $xx per month, designed and implemented. That would interest me!
The Software itself
For sure, there is evidence of brilliance everywhere, Seeing how the template it looks and functions on my various devices, it's very impressive, the notifications everything, (on your own site that is! - UNA!) But the Achilles heal of the software is that it is designed by; Expert Tech geeks, for Competent Tech Geeks. If your not a programmer, your lost here. Its not for any "Idea Person" in my view. It's for a Competent Tech Geek, with an idea! In short - as it currently is - the software is not 'user-friendly" enough for the mass market your after. I've stated THIS as the standard you need to aim for ;-

The CMS is as easy to edit as a word doc, and modules and pages are simple ON/OFF options, money back guarantee, and outstanding tel support.
I feel, UNA would need to offer some form of "support" at the start in order to "be at the races" as a product. Assign each new customer of UNA, to an "angel" initially as part of the deal, supported via a "P.C anywhere" type support / with chat. Get um up and running with a revenue generating prod, and you have a good shot at retention. But after 1- DAY on this, I'm so far a little disappointed, I thought I would be able to do more for myself. I'll try again tomorrow!!
