Hello Stackideas Team,

thank you for the big ES update. This was a good idea to drop left menu. However there seem to be a lot of feature to be added, that i am not actually are going to use and you are even talking about a new social app. But for me there are some basic things still not working and they were talked about in the forum.

So for example it seems still not possible to add a new event without being the first attendee or click attendance option off. How can a community manager adding all the events and attend them? Or if you have a cluster album/videoin a page, it does not show in all album view, this is totally irritating. And if a page, say a public institution is adding an public event, you can't attend, without following this page…

Just a couple of little things i would be happy, if this would work more userfriendly. What you you think about?

Thank you and best regards, Macjoomla
Hi Macjoomla,

You can try clicking on the 'not going' option and this will not count the event creator as an attendee(http://take.ms/Ef9OG).
if you have a cluster album/videoin a page, it does not show in all album view
I believe this has been asked and the team has also discussed this several times. It's just not feasible to include cluster items there as the privacy checking of the cluster and its members will very resource intensive.
if a page, say a public institution is adding an public event, you can't attend, without following this page…
Currently closed and invite only clusters are utilizing this behavior. It would make sense for public clusters to have the same behavior.

Hello Raymond, thank you for your answer, but

You can try clicking on the 'not going' option and this will not count the event creator as an attendee(http://take.ms/Ef9OG).
this is not really user-friendly to do something on and then click it off, however, who wants to be the person, that actively does not attend all the events…?

I believe this has been asked and the team has also discussed this several times. It's just not feasible to include cluster items there as the privacy checking of the cluster and its members will very resource intensive.
Ok, this was an open point and this consequence was not definitely communicated. At the moment you can see a video in a page and there is a button "<- back to the videos". So what would you think would happen, if you click it? I would think, great, going there to see more videos, but what happens? There is no video at all, if all videos are belonging to pages. You can click "all videos" or even the category the just seen video belongs to, but no matter what you click, suddenly there are not any videos on the site…. This is what i call really confusing…

Currently closed and invite only clusters are utilizing this behavior. It would make sense for public clusters to have the same behavior.
What do yo mean, should this work already or that you think this would be a good idea, if this would work?

Bets regards, Macjoomla

To be honest, I think the feature that you are seeking here is pretty niche but please do post them on our feature request section and if there is enough interest in it, we'll consider it.

As mentioned by Raymond, it is not going to be feasible to include these items on the "All listing page". If back to videos is a concern, then perhaps removing the button would be more ideal. Either way, please feel free to post them on our feature request section.

What my colleague actually meant was the current behavior for closed and invite only page or group. When an event is created under either of these type of group, the event will automatically be private.

Hello Mark, thank you for your answer.

Well in my opinion, if you have a calendar, a basic is to add an event. Then if you go further, there could be a feature that says, if you add an event, then add me as first attendee. Or there could be an additional feature to have attendees at all. But in the beginning, there is an basic event without attendees and without attending possibility. There are some examples in the forum where somebody wanted help to not show attendees. But if you think, this is a big niche feature to just add an event, i will open a feature request…

At this point, the question seems to be, is it not feasible for you, then why should a feature request make sense? However there is allready a feature request and some posts about this:

So if you have a public event in a public group, you should be able to attend without beeing part of the group or following the page, dont you?

I am asking you to post it as a feature request for the back button so that we may be able to do something about that button in the future rather than disrupting our support flow right now.



So if you have a public event in a public group, you should be able to attend without beeing part of the group or following the page, dont you?

As long as the event is part of a group, page, you must be a member of the group or page.

Hello Mark,

thank you for your answer. For the second point, i don't have a feature request for removing a button. I have same feature request as other users in this two and other threads to show page and group albums and videos in view for all videos. It would not mean all videos, if some videos are not included…

For point one and three, i will think about and are going to post a feature request for some basic functions

Thank you and best regards, Macjoomla

Well, that feature request is not going to be implemented because it is impossible to be implemented. If it will, it will hit your server's CPU so hard, that it's going to be unusable so either way, I really do recommend an alternative solution to it.
