For the first time which is long overdue, am I going commercial meaning charging for certain subscriptions?

When going open-source comes with some risks involved and one of them is support tickets and the priority it gets. My experience being with unacms so far has proven its 24/7 involvement concluding a very active support system, however, I can not say for sure given the model currently used, and that is that issues raised are not directly assigned, but I can add that this does not mean bad at all. The community at large can contribute and therefor supper fast-track the resolve and turn-around time. Support tickets, well in our scenario, forum entries are being handled under maintenance to capture information as things happens and therefor do we see constant and automatic updates, a good and excellent method to address tickets in general. To add, improvements or enhancements to keep up with industry standards are covered at the same time.

The gap in the above statement: Sometimes we raise issues with the hope they get resolved, and if not.. who cares? while it might appear to our site visitors or clients as if we don't know how to fix glitches, resulting in disengagement, etc.

This being said, I do have a concern still. When I take money from clients, I owe them a service in return... unacms owes me nothing and they are innocent should things go wrong. To be calculated, they are the reason why I am where I am today and have saved me thousands.

I just wish to raise this concern under feedback. As a distributed community can we truly experience a virtual world in the true sense of the word called metaverse. I am going live for the very first time and only because I wish to charge... my site has been there all along but not really that active, so I was bluffing to put it that way.

My niche is local communities and I am very involved with uplifting the moral and harsh conditions our youth must grow up in, among other things. I am very poor and have been living and working almost 24/7 on my project, I deserve a break now and must make a living from it. This put me on the map of becoming a service-delivering entity, really with the hope I have unacms covering my back.

There was a recent post addressing the unasmc business model moving forward, but my feedback is something I think many of the unacms community can relate to, as for unacms, this is what you can keep in mind for it covers a greater percentage of our community members' experiences and thad sure given the magnitude of change in your model, that when do make changes, they are for the best, and also to put you once more in the number spot worldwide.

Hi Guys and Gels...

For some reason does spaces not appearing in the dropdown list when applying visibility to post, discussions or listings.

Not sure if this could be related previous previous unresolved incidents that I raised with the forum earlier about me deleting groups etc.

How do we capture SPACE entries?

I would guess that a much bigger percentage of the UNACMS community uses the SPACE module for geographical purposes.

In fact, from all my research or studies many years ago looking at multi-site architects it became clear to me that especially because of the SPACE module, UNA has answered my dilemma and given me peace of mind from a time and cost-effective approach... but how?

The multi-site architect was a good approach to bypass server resource usage and as we all know it "High availability and scalability", each site or community has its own server linking one to the other, and for many days I spent with Druplal Social Platform which has given me multi-site capabilities bla bla bla.

I often wondered how Facebook as an example could perform so well given the millions of records it processes and not experience slow response etc., henze, was it a single domain as we all know it facebook.com and not uk.facebook.com or usa.facebook.com?

Until I discovered Database Clustering technology... wow, I was blown away... (Please read up on it).

Knowing this, I was introduced to UNA already making use of this technology. In short... it is database redundancy, not how we used to know it in the past.. replica of the same database but use a load-balancing server if I wish to keep it simple... How we make sure data is routed or channeled properly is something I do not wish to go into, but then UNA gave us the SPACE module... a deal breaker beyond your imagination given database clustering technology over the GROUP Module.

This canceled out the Multi-Site approach letting you run operations the same way Facebook does .. but UNA gave us a little more than that... The SPACE Module to structure data on a High level or User level except we have one constrain..... classification. Run your multi-site operation using the space module and save thousands on operation costs etc.

Before phpFox and other vendors can bridge this gap... I suggest UNACMS give us one more feature a.s.a.p ...... Google Maps/Location mother-child relation ... Country/State, Province/City, and perhaps places to store our data more structurally on our SPACE module with perhaps a label that specifies whether we want to use it for geographical purposes or not.

AT this moment, I created categories to distinguish country, state, and city, but my concern is that I can not open the creation of SPACE to the public because they might just overlook the fact that their country is not yet created and I don't have a dropdown that can guide them.

Also, and to conclude... who wants to create a SPACE for the USA, UK, or South Africa only to create SPACEs within... bad practice

Season Greetings

Organization Module(free) vs Business Listing Module(paid)

I have a request to make but the answer now lies within the one.

I use the Space module to distinguish my communities but wish to display a list of local resources aligned with its community.

The information below will be incorporated into my SPACE display page (Blocks - Organization new form to be created that only displays the organization's name categorized, but when click on the name, it opens the organization or what we refer to as local resource).

The overall display SPACE page must include resource values that define the SPACE and give a sense of what it stands for.

Space (Community Local Resources) -

Example: Community A:

:- Clinics & Hospitals (Category)

ABC Clinic

DEF Hospital

:- Food stores (Category)

..... and so on

Community B:

This can be done by means of creating a new display form on the org module, but I need some help.

Another challenge is or help me understand: When creating an Organization Profile, the visibility seems to be limited and doesn't go up to SPACE level or even GROUP level, giving it the ultimate control to be viewed by members of that SPACE only or Group.

I've noticed some silence in our UNACMS community and therefore plead to those with the understanding to help.

The Business Listing on the other hand seems to overlap with the organization module and seems to have some similarities even though not. Could I be wrong... please clear the air for me as well.

@Jerome Mingo "Business listing Module" seems to me as a much better option except it does not allow membership, instead it does give the option to become a client giving it some ownership to who belongs or follow that business and of course with its benefits.

Regards

Chris

Hi Everyone;

I've made some adjustments to the full-screen view, in particular, the left and right borders.

@media (min-width: 1024px) {

.lg\:px-6 {

  1. padding-left: 0.5rem; (This was 1.5 before)
  2. padding-right: 0.5rem; (This was 1.5 before)

}

}

___________________________________________________

The above is done only for 1024px view-port.

How do I do it for all the view-ports?
