In Persons settings, there is a category "Searchable fields for keyword search" containing the two fields "Real name" and "About me", which then also show up in the Person Search box. These seem to come from the Persons set in the Search Fields configuration in Forms.
I have added several additional, custom fields for users to fill out in their profiles, and would like to make those searchable, too. However, I couldn't figure out if or how it is possible to get those fields to show up in the "Search Fields" configuration so I could add them to the person search form. Is there a way to do this (yet)?
Thanks!
This also may well be an issue with my host (A2 Hosting Shared), but maybe it's also a configuration issue and/or you can help me where to look for the problem. I'm currently running UNA 9.0.0-B5, and am trying to update to UNA 9.0.0-RC1 using the Update button in the Studio Dashboard. I get the overlay message "Site will be upgraded within a minute", but then nothing seems to happen anymore. I actually left the page open like that over night, and it was still the same in the morning. Maybe there is some permission issue in one of my directories or something? What are the requirements for the automatic update mechanism to work?
I initially installed UNA through the Softaculous installer if that makes a difference, and have never performed an upgrade before.
Currently, the three privacy levels Me only, Friends, and Public, seem to be hard-coded. This is slightly too inflexible for my taste, I would like to allow users to also post something that is visible to only approved members, but not unauthenticated visitors. In other words, I would like to be able to define an additional privacy level that is defined by which membership levels (Pending, Unconfirmed, Standard, etc.) are required.
Concretely, many of my members would like to upload photos to share with all other members of the site, but not have them publicly visible (my site has only manually approved members). Currently, this seems to be impossible. Unless I make the entire Albums section invisible to unauthenticated users, which would be too extreme, their only choice is to make their content fully public, or share it only with people they explicitly added as friends.
Hello everyone,
brand new user here, I just set up my first UNA installation two days ago and finding my way around. I was looking for something to replace a site based on Oxwall, tried about a dozen options, and UNA looked by far the most awesome and flexible, so lots of respect to the team!
Now for my issue: I would like to use the Facebook connect plug-in to allow users to sign up for an account through Facebook. However, I also have certain profile fields that I marked as mandatory. It's an important way in which I want to moderate the community: people have to answer a few basic questions, which I review before manually approving their accounts, so that I'm sure that they have a genuine interest in the topic.
For regular sign-ups, this works fine. I set it up so that users signing up for a new account are immediately led to the creation of a "Person". The form on that person creation page can only be saved when all fields marked as mandatory are filled out. This makes it very clear to users what they have to do: they get messages on every page that they first have to confirm their e-mail address, then set up a profile/person, and then that they have to wait for their account to be activated. I, on the other hand, can be sure that any new accounts to be approved have the mandatory fields filled out.
However, I didn't (yet) find a way to set it up in a similar way for Facebook connect (and I assume the other connect plug-ins are the same). When an account is set up through Facebook, a rudimentary "Person" is created automatically, containing the name and profile picture from Facebook. For that reason, new users don't get sent to the "create a person" page, and hence they have an incomplete profile that I don't know whether to approve or deny, because they have empty mandatory fields. These users can't even manually find the way to fill out their profile, because with an unapproved account they don't have the rights to open the person edit page (I didn't find a setting to change that, either)
Is there a way to configure UNA to work around this problem? If not, I'm afraid I'll have to do without the Facebook connect for now…
Thanks!
Daniel
