User guide

Introduction

As you arrive on this platform we invite you to:

Watch the help videos in our welcome space

Chose the spaces you want to join

If you need help then ask the Space host of the space you're in

If you would like a new space ask here

Spaces

In Humhub posts are organised into 'spaces' these are communities that organise around a particular group or theme.

Everyone who joins is added to the Welcome space and the Community garden space.

The other spaces can be found here https://hub.transition-space.org/spaces?sort=older

 

Request a space

If you would like a new space then just ask here

Space hosts

Permissions:

Space hosts can configure many of the permissions for their spaces. 

They can access these by accessing https://hub.transition-space.org/s/**YOUR-SPACE-NAME/space/manage/security/permissions

You access this by clicking on the grey settings wheel in your space and clicking on 'security'

You will then see the settings that can be changed

You can change any of these settings to your preference. If you would like advice about the implications of these settings then please ask in the space-hosts Mattermost channel

Notifications

By default, users will have any posts in spaces they are members of added to their daily digest email.

If you want to do a specific notification (a separate email from the daily digest) then you could 'notify all' in the post. This will create a separate email just for that post. It will also create a push notification/popup to users that have enabled that in their browser or mobile device.

Archive

Space hosts are able to 'Archive' spaces

When spaces are archived:

• All content is hidden to non-admins. It is no longer searchable (even by members of that space)
• Admins can 'un-archive' it at a later date and make it visible/ searchable by members.
• The content remains accessible to admins even when in an archived state.

Group spaces

Private organising spaces

On Vive we offer groups private organising spaces. By default these are set as

• Visible as a space  to logged in users in the space menu
  
• request to join
  
• Default to only members of a space can see the content of a space
  
• Admins and moderators can choose to make public posts that are visible to people outside of the space.
  
• Please update the 'about' section to describe the intended use of of the space
• Members can only create private posts in these spaces, this means all the posts they make are only visible to other members of the space.
• Admins and moderators can choose to make 'public' posts, these are visible to people outside of the space who are logged into the platform.
