This widget may be presented as a sidebar tool on your network page and possibly from your channel page. It is differentiated from the 'navigation bar' search tool in that it does not search the entire site, but only the subset of information available to your channel. - -Additionally the search terms you provide may activate a one-tme search or be saved in a list for re-use. Saving the search item also invokes the search in addition to adding it to the saved list (which is displayed below the search text entry box). Any item in the list may be discarded if it is no longer needed. - -The saved search widget will provide autocompletion of channels (the results are prefixed with '@'), and hashtags (prefixed with '#'). You do not need to enter these tags; although entering the desired tag will reduce the autocomplete results to only hold the relevant information. The behaviour maps as follows: - -[ul] - -[li]@name - search your network stream for posts or comments written by 'name'. This will also change the post editor permissions to include only 'name'; as if this was a privacy group.[/li] - -[li]#hashtag - search you network stream for posts containing #hashtag.[/li] - -[li]text - search your network stream for posts containing 'text'.[/li] - - -[/li] - diff --git a/doc/feature/techlevels.bb b/doc/feature/techlevels.bb deleted file mode 100644 index 9b07f086f..000000000 --- a/doc/feature/techlevels.bb +++ /dev/null @@ -1,15 +0,0 @@ -[h2]Techlevels[/h2] - -Techlevels is a unique feature of Hubzilla 'pro'. It is not available in other server_roles, although it expands on the concepts introduced in Hubzilla 'basic'. - -[h3]Background[/h3] - -We've implemented several different mechanisms in order to reduce the apparent complexity and learning curve presented to new members. At the same time, we do not wish to limit any functionality for people who are able to grasp some slightly advanced technical technical features. The first mechanism was to move several features to an optional 'Features' page where they could be enabled at will; with the default interface kept somewhat lean. - -The problem we had now is that the number of features began to grow dramatically, and the Feature page is daunting in possibilities. There are also features present which probably should not be available to all members, but may be extremely useful to those with technical backgrounds. - -The techlevels seeeks to remedy this by grouping features within different levels of technical ability; starting at 0 (uncomfortable with technology), and up to 5 (Unix wizard or equivalent). - -When a new member registers, their account is provided a techlevel setting of 0. On the account settings page they may change this to any available level. A higher level opens more advanced features and possible interactions. - -The account administrator may also lock a particular level, lock a maximum level, or change/re-arrange the features available to any level. Those with the minimum level are typically not very exploratory and are unlikely to discover the advanced modes. This is by design. Those that look around and desire more interactions will find them. In the absence of administrator defaults they may choose any level. As they look at the features available to the level in question, it is generally expected that they will discover some features are beyond their comprehension and it is hoped they will back off to a level where the interface and features are comfortable to their skill level. This is somewhat experimental at present and for that reason is not part of the 'standard' server role. The standard server role is preset to level '5', and the basic server role is preset to level '0', with no possibility of change. Members in these roles may find themselves overwhelmed or underwhelmed by the feature set and complexity. -- cgit v1.2.3
