when you want to send a message to another member, the SEND TO field does not open the list of members. Is this normal? Do we have an adjustment to make? I'll give you a screenshot of the SE demo site. Same problem in the search field in the Header. Thank you in advance for your advice.

Always, if deciding to work on the theme files in admin, make a clone first. If you make ANY edits to the default files, your upgrades will not upgrade the theme and the site will not properly upgrade.
Make a style per the Elpis tutorial and work in the Elpis settings FIRST for things that can change there. If you find things that can't change there, make a clone as mentioned and use the admin theme editor to add custom code to the theme.css or constants.css on the clone ONLY. less

I come back to this subject. Where to find the Elpis color CSS to adjust the colors?
We can't find it in the backoffice. We would like to do this manually.

I get emailed notifications from my own site... moreI get emailed notifications from my own site and from a client's sites who I am on for Likes, Comments, Tags, etc. All of the things in the email alerts are what go out. It sounds like you are saying that you are not getting emailed notifications for the items in the email notification list. Did you check the settings in admin https://demo.socialengine.com/admin/user/settings/emails to ensure you have it set to send those notifications? If it is set, you may want to check error logs to see if it is sending, or perhaps they are blocked on the user end. less
Hi Donna,
When connected to our site, users... moreHi Donna,
When connected to our site, users will get an indication in the mini menu that they have Notifications and/or new messages. User can set the type of notifications they will be getting.
In the case of messages sent from the site, they can also see it directly on the site and set which ones they want to receive email alerts.
The will then receive an alert email with a link to the message on the site
Is there a way to receive email alerts for notifications? That could be sent immediatly as per Notification settings or in a single email alert with several notifications (daily or once every x hours)
I have been trying to find a plugin from a third party such as "site notifications in popups" but without much luck.
Any hint on how to achieve this,
Thanks,
Benoit less
If any of the third party plugins interfere... moreIf any of the third party plugins interfere with the task manager, it can cause emails not to go out. If they aren't updated, they could interfere. I would check error logs and task manager, as well as task manager logs. If there is a bug in SE, it isn't presenting here or at the other client's sites that I am a member of (she has about 6 se sites lol). All are updated, but they don't have any third party plugins as I removed them. Tedious work. Anyway, I am curious about what the logs show for specific errors with email, smtp, or the task log for any error perhaps there. Make sure your site is not in development mode though as that disables emails. less

I asked SEA to look.

You may need to check with them in case there's an issue or something else needs updating. If you are getting notifications from this community, which I am getting, then you can see that email notifications are working in this version. I am getting notifications from here and from another site that I am a member of who is on the current version. So atm, the only thing I can think is that a third party plugin needs updating perhaps. less

Friendship requests too. Really weird because before the update everything was working fine.
I will ask our Network Administrator to check the server logs.
If you have any advice, don't hesitate.
Thanks

when someone send a message on the site, there is an email sent to the member so that he is made aware without having to connect to the site.
This is configured in /members/settings/emails
Is there a way to get an automatic email sent when there is an activity notification (update) in the mini menu or /activity/notifications?
Everything is checked on /members/settings/notifications, but maybe more categories shoud be added? How?

We could not migrate all our sites because the plugins from our suppliers were not ok and often full of bugs.

We had installed several plugins from socialapps.tech, and then decided to move to SNS plugins.
Is there a way to remove or uninstall the unnecessary plugins? On admin panel, we can only disable them but there might be a conflict with new plugins or at least they make our website heavier.

My quick question is, are there any important components to install on a server? Zend, Java and what can you say about the configuration.The earlier versions were easy to install but now with 6.4 I'm having massive problems...
The standard things are installed but can you think of anything else like Zend, java or something else... with every program that I install there is a technical error...thank you once again for your effort

Bugs Fixed
Fixed - Inspira theme menus are not aligned on fresh install.
Fixed - Re-enabling the Inspira theme causes multiple widgets to be placed in the header and footer.
Fixed - When the Inspira theme is installed, and then the Sunshine theme is installed, the Footer Menu widget is not placed in the footer.
Fixed - When enabling the Inspira, Sunshine, or Serenity Theme, the Landing Page Setting should be set to "No".
Fixed - When any other theme (except Elpis) is enabled on the website and then the Sunshine theme is enabled, then the already installed theme is not disabled. But when I disable that theme manually, then the Elpis theme is enabled automatically.
Fixed - Elpis landing page not loading Elpis widgets after changing from Inspira.
Fixed - Groups breaking in 6.4.3 with links in the group feed.
Fixed Issues with RTL:

Is there a workaround to display the videos more like they are on the video page?
Also, we would like to display more images and not in banner stay but more like the classifieds style or something other than just the banners.
Any home page customization tips will help.
I have looked at the current SocialEngine... moreI have looked at the current SocialEngine requirements page, and am seeking clarification on what version(s) of MariaDB SocialEngine is compatible with.
Historically, (prior to 6.2.2), SocialEngine was only compatible with MySQL and the version was listed as being minimum 5.7 and recommended 5.7. I have been using MySQL 8.0 since that time without issues until the 6.3 upgrade.
At the moment, MariaDB 10.6 is listed as the recommended version, but there is no minimum or maximum version. Does SocialEngine work on 10.11, and is there a minimum version it requires? less
This might seem like a small one but for... moreThis might seem like a small one but for huge communities with big flow and many members it is SIGNIFICANT.
The notification system in SE is outdated- compare it with facebook- that is the golden standard.
As you can see above it has THREE links.
1. Link to user who posted it
2. Link to post
3. Link to forum topic
1. You click on it you come here
2. You come here
3. IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS 2.
Facebook looks like this
The whole link is clickable and you are taken here
Facebook takes you DIRECTLY to the image, video, albums, comments that the notification is about. No uncessary information.
The only purpose of this notification is to be taken to the place which the noticiation is about.
But in SE you are only taken to the forum topic for example, not exactly to the place which the note is about.
And to have link to user- completely meaningless, once we clicked on the notificiations we can easily click on user name from there.
And... less
