Can I share content like news and banners across the M.S.N.?
Answer
Yes, you can share news by placing it on the central site and using RSS blocks on satellite sites to display it. Banners can be shared by adding them to the central site and configuring satellite sites to use the central site's banner.php script.
What are Composr Clubs and how are they useful for subcommunities?
Answer
Clubs are special usergroups in Conversr (Composr's forum system) designed for creating subcommunities. They come with their own dedicated forums and are managed by members, taking pressure off site staff.
Key features:
No special permissions by default, simplifying permission management.
Members can join and leave like regular usergroups.
Virtual roots let you make a sub-category within a Composr module (e.g., downloads) appear as the top-level category. This is useful for creating separate "databases" of content for different subcommunities.
To create a virtual root:
Enable "Virtual root links" in the Admin Zone > Setup > Configuration > Feature options > Advanced.
Navigate to the desired category while logged in as staff.
Click the rightmost link in the breadcrumbs (it will be an anchor for virtual root creation).
Use the resulting URL in your menus to link to the "virtualized" category.
An M.S.N. allows you to run multiple Composr websites (installations) that share a common forum and member database. It's ideal for website networks with shared communities but segmented content, staff, or branding. In essence, members who join one site automatically have accounts on all sites within the network.
Powerful parental controls configuration to comply with necessary online safety and privacy laws
Set different rules for different regions so you can comply with varying laws across the globe (according to the region members set on their profile)
Automatically generates a portion of the automatic Privacy Policy block depending on your configuration; also define your own custom text (e.g. stating the laws which enforce each rule you set)
Optionally require and/or lock down from editing certain core profile fields for compliance: date of birth, time zone, and region
Optionally enforce IP address geo-location to match the country defined on a member's profile (useful for sites featuring region-locked content)
Parental consent: require the legal guardians of members under a certain age to fill out and send in a consent form (e-mailed to the child) to gain access
Lockout: prevent anyone under a certain age from logging in at all until they are of age
Legends of Nor'Ova is a website / database based on the table-top role-playing game of the same name.

And it has a community for people to discuss the game.
Super Tilted is a team of pinball enthusiasts who develop original digital pinball tables for the Visual Pinball X platform. This website showcases their releases and ongoing (public) projects. All tables are free to download. And people can request to join the team.
This site has some secret sauce behind the scenes: a custom block for Scorbit leader-boards (pinball scores), and some webhooks to alert the team in their Discord of certain site activity. It also takes advantage of the Support Tickets e-mail integration and using zones for "sub-sites" for each released pinball table.
Technically, Wiki+ pages cannot be moved because they don't have a fixed location within the network structure. Creating child links forms a path, not a strict hierarchy. However, you can manipulate the breadcrumbs by ensuring only one path leads to a page.
Yes, Wiki+ includes a revision history feature accessible through the page edit screen. This feature allows you to view a log of edits, see changes highlighted in tooltips, and revert to previous versions of a page as needed.
How can I view the complete tree structure of my Wiki+?
Answer
You can access a view of the complete Wiki+ tree structure through the designated option in the admin panel. However, it's important to note that this view will reflect guest access permissions. Some pages may be hidden if they are restricted to specific user groups.
Wiki+ offers several features to help you moderate user contributions and maintain the quality of information:
Email Notifications: When a new post is submitted, an email notification is sent to the designated staff address, alerting you to new contributions.
Permissions Control: You can configure permissions to determine whether regular users can create new pages or only contribute through posts.
Page History: The revision history feature allows you to track edits made to pages and revert to previous versions if necessary.
Composr Moderation Tools: Wiki+ integrates with Composr's site-wide moderation features, providing additional tools for monitoring and managing user contributions.
Yes, users can contribute content to Wiki+ through posts. When the "Show posts" option is enabled for a page, users can add their insights and information as posts below the main page content.
