ShallHelp Chat Forum : Welcome to the Chat Forum! Chat sessions are automatically erased every 60 minutes. Just select the REFRESH link above to go to the latest chat session. We are glad you are here! CrisW : Hey can you put the Tech Forum under this chat for a bit? I’ll add the Online Member widget temporarily Developer : I got left in previous chat session.
Never mind I’ll do it! 🙂
I’ll type out the How To. And Why.
For ADMINs: With Scheduled Chat Sessions that you want to make public.
You can put the “Online Members” Widget and publish it “at will”.
You can set it to display the Avatars of whoever is online, up to 15 or however many you want to display. Without “breaking” the design of your site.
Also, drag the “Online Members” widget right above the “Chat Box”. Since our chat only displays the user names.
Then when your scheduled Chat is over, just drag it out on the Back End, out of the Widgets area.
Also double check the session in minutes for when the user logs out. I think we extended it while we were testing because some were getting auto logged out when there’s inactivity. Might be at a different portal. I’ll check.
It doesn’t monitor user login status every second, this may overload server resources. Instead of this, it checks user’s last activity time-point and checks if the last activity time was made later than “Online status timeout” value. Based on this it shows online/offline status.
Switched this to 5 minutes. CW u can reduce or increase.
I put that On and Off, or on a “Display as Needed” because we wouldn’t want to be disturbed or disrupted while we are working or scrutinizing code by Members, unless you request for the Super Admin to make you Super Invisible.
Or you can just get ignored. LOL!
I think you guys forgot to remove the Online Members widget. I’ll remove it for now.
Removed it since session is finished.
When are you opening registration here?
I am considering all inputs on that decision. There are those who want me to open up the Marketplace again.
There are those who want me to open up the Forums for Registration.
There are those who want to advertise here. (NOPE).
There are those who want me to let other people “Blog” on our Forums.
There are those who want me to open Private Messaging.
If or when I open registrations, it opens it up to all these functionalities.
A LOT to think about.
So it might be easier and better to teach people HOW TO do all these, so they can migrate from Social Media and then create their own.
Have you thought about creating a course? Or writing book?
Been there done that. Just typing things at random is easier for me. That’s how I create organic traffic. Search Engine Optimizations and AIs can’t figure out my articles because I just write from the heart and brain and they can’t “predict it” no matter how they “track” 🙂
Rant articles generate traffic!
The idea on writing articles, you just create original content. Some articles use “sensational titles” to get people to click. Then get a high “bounce rate” when people hit the “back button” or leave the site.
Because they did not get to read what the title stated.
Search Engines operated to put an end to “search”. What are people looking for? What are they typing? (That becomes the search keywords).
So website editors also put that into play when arranging keywords sprinkled into the article.
But if your Domain Name is deindexed (like what happened to CLG and SH), all these SEOing guru-hood doesn’t matter.
It’s censorship to the max and so writers or authors need to think, who are they writing for? Search Engines or people?
I write for people. 🙂
So when I noticed that I also shut the functionality “Disallow Search Engines to search this site”.
Keepin’ it quiet. 🙂
Less spammers finding or crawling the site.
I just tested. The Full Page chat, when mixed with the Forum at the bottom part of the page, disables the chat widget in the forum.
versions and updates…. grrrr.
I reverted back to previous settings.
That’s why it’s best to have our Forum Tech Notes to be transferred to Core WP. We became like Beta Testers!
Yes, tech always changes!
No tech person can keep up with everything! What may work now, may not work next time because there’s just way too many moving parts!
Yes, that’s why our notes here and your tips you shared on the Dev portal helps too.
The are pros and cons on which Portal to keep.
Went through the CLG SF. I think it would be better to do a different and brand new installation. If you are wanting to open registration there.
I agree to keep the CLG Tech Forum AS IS. SInce it houses the raw data you put on your Bible App. Although I suggest you don’t put a “direct link up top” to that.
As far as the SH Forum, my take on it is this. You can switch all your forum posts as blog post, copying time stamps and then comments as comments.
That way there’s just one Forum to monitor. And it will be easier to moderate as well.
If people wanted you to make the MarketPlace go Live again, we can never predict how people who sell stuff might also take advantage of the other members who do not want to be pitched anything.
Better to keep them separate installs.
I agree with Dev. You can just drive all traffic from SH to CLG SF – or whatever new portal you create on CLG.
Another consultant was dissuading me from even opening the forums up for registration. But I see the “need” especially for Christians to have a place to go to as well, where they can have community and fellowship without being pitched.
The SH Forum is for my own ministry for when I do mission work and need a place also for me to publish the kind of help in specific communities where people can also help those people directly.
CrisW : Another consultant was dissuading me from even opening the forums up for registration. But I see the “need” especially for Christians to have a place to go to as well, where they can have community and fellowship without being pitched.
You can do that, and it might be safer, because Members there would have the same “belief systems”.
Yes, but as far as the SH Forum, there are other topics (like when I published my old research and epidemiology notes), and I would also want a forum for IF other scientists would want to contribute their expertise.
But you’re right. Thanks for that input. They can also just leave comments on an article. And if they are okay, I can also publish their articles and grant them “Author permissions” “Contributor”.
A lot of scientists would need permission from the University before they can publish their work. Gag orders! LOL! Anyway, so when I published my other Research Paper as a Clinicial Investigator, I made sure that I asked permission and they gave me permission with the “legalese verbiage” on my report. That those written research are all mine and is not an endorsement, all that jazz. Since I donated my source codes as copyleft, I just wanted to make sure that I had at least “some proof” that the software that I built for eight solid months, I turned over. With the hope that it can help clinicians and future scientists to reduce medical errors coming from the standpoint of a New User of the system.
Also a lot of clinicians would rather keep “offline” if they have licenses that they want to keep. You can also just ask then to share at CLG New Forum.

You can switch SH into just a simple blog. Open the comments for articles you are open to, and then close those that you don’t want comments on.
The chat functionality is NOT dependent on the Forum anyway.
Thanks. It’s truly something to consider. A lot of people would much rather comment on social media.
Can we test if a commenter can join chat? Do you have another disposable email?
If you keep the SH forum here, and then also put the CLG Share Forum contents here, then what if someone adds a topic on another religion?
If you keep it at CLG, it’s clear what the site is for.
This site for now, is just helping us with tech notes, timestamping, anti-social media for tech peeps?
It’s one less log-in you’re right. We document the clutter and issues that cross our minds, and then implement on your decision to create the brand new CLG installation.
“Anti-Social” Media! I geddittt! LOL!
Okay I will use TestCommenter as name or TestChatter. Logging out!

I double checked too. Because I set it up to use a different log in page, the forgot password link will not work for commenters because they have to confirm their emails in order to be a forum member. So commenters cannot join the Live Chat. They have to Register first.
Glad that setting is there. So it triggers the “Wrong Combo” error. 🙂
Hey log back in! 🙂
How many emails?
Each time a comment is submitted, and is moderated, it generates the WP Core auto emails to admins.
All these testing and commenting is generating a whole lot of emails! Can you hit reply and post something on my test post here, and see if you get anything?
I submitted two comments. the first one didn’t hit the Subscribe, the second response I hit the subscribe. If you reply to my reply, is when we can test the Subscribe functionality.
I remember your crying doctor story. LOL!
Doctors are humans too you know. 🙂
That was classic!
