Guys;

Where can I find documentation on PAYPAL's API integration of configuration?

I've tried setting it up from within the user dashboard: Settings - Payment, but noticed it appears in all user accounts letting me believe it is just not where I set it up, or could it be?

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.

I think my site needs a re-install. I made a blunder by installing module from github, and after consulting with una, I had to remove them.

Anyway, I accidently removed groups from the directory, and it was never properly deactivated to be deleted from studio, in other words I broke the sequence it was suppose to be deleted. The groups module icon, still shows with a status installed in downloads(App Store), but I have no groups in studio.

This is but one of the stories... meaning, others error are also reported in my logs as a result of getting rid the github module, the raw way, never to know I corrupt relationship entries that ties these data sets.

I am on the brink of a breakthrough and this happens now. I've got registered users as well as data.

Do we have data export features or a tools that can help ease the process? Almost re-installing UNA, never mind customization, and data import afterwards.

UNACMS: Embracing Unlimited Potential with a Fresh New Face

If you’ve ever searched for the perfect CMS to bring your vision to life, you probably know the struggle. There are countless platforms that promise the moon—some with sleek interfaces, others with industry-specific solutions—and it’s easy to get drawn to them. I’ve been there too. At one point, I wished I had the funds to invest in platforms like MooSocial or SocialEngine. Looking back now, I’m glad I didn’t. That financial limitation led me to something far better: UNACMS.

UNA isn’t just another content management system; it’s a world of freedom and unlimited potential. It’s a platform that empowers creators to build something extraordinary—whether it’s a community hub, a niche social network, or a full-scale solution (All thanks to the founders together with their vendors - none excluded). But here’s the thing: to truly fulfill that potential, UNACMS itself needs to evolve.

The Hidden Gem of CMS Platforms

What makes UNACMS special? Unlike many CMS solutions, it’s not boxed in by rigid templates or restricted features. It offers unparalleled freedom to customize, adapt, and grow. The power it gives its users to bring their dreams to life is unlike anything else on the market. But for all its strengths, UNACMS’s user interface—its face to the world—feels like a relic of the past. As beloved as UNACMS is by its community, we can’t ignore that its current UI feels more like mainframe software built with COBOL than a modern CMS leading the charge in the digital age. This isn’t a critique; it’s a call to action.

Making UNACMS Shine

During my research journey, it became clear why other platforms grab attention: they position themselves as solutions for specific industries, showcase Case Studies, and boldly market their features. UNACMS has all of these strengths, but they’re hidden, waiting to be brought to the forefront. Imagine if UNACMS’s marketing highlighted its unique ability to adapt across industries. Imagine seeing its Case Studies and live examples featured prominently, demonstrating the incredible solutions powered by the platform. UNACMS doesn’t just need a redesign; it needs a rediscovery.

Real Success, Real Stories

One of UNACMS’s most underutilized assets is its community. There are countless live and successful sites that are powered by UNACMS, but they’re not showcased enough. These success stories aren’t just a testament to UNACMS’s power—they’re the inspiration future users need. Let’s bring these stories to light. Let’s show the world what UNACMS has helped people accomplish, from thriving online communities to groundbreaking industry solutions.

Together, Let’s Build a Brighter Future

UNACMS has already given us so much, and now it’s our turn to give back. We need a new face for UNACMS—a modern, sleek, intuitive interface that reflects its true potential. We need to elevate its marketing, positioning UNACMS as the go-to solution for creators who demand more than the status quo. And we need to celebrate and share the incredible success stories of the UNACMS community.

To every UNACMS user, builder, and supporter: this is your moment. Together, we can create not just the best CMS on the market, but a platform that redefines what’s possible. Let’s give UNACMS the do-over it deserves—because the best CMS deserves the best face to show the world.

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
