7
00:00:22.185 --> 00:00:25.420

00:00:30.700 --> 00:00:33.500
Always looking forward to doing these every other week here.

10
00:00:33.500 --> 00:00:35.980
Got some great updates to share with you this week.

11
00:00:35.980 --> 00:00:40.595
The dev team is I know has been hard at work, so really looking forward to everything we've got going today.

12
00:00:40.595 --> 00:00:41.895
Yeah. There's some really

13
00:00:42.275 --> 00:00:45.235
monumental updates coming this year in 2025.

14
00:00:45.235 --> 00:00:48.515
We'll we'll cover a few of them today and and a few that are coming soon.

15
00:00:48.515 --> 00:00:52.400
If you're joining the webinar, you can always type in your comments and questions.

16
00:00:52.400 --> 00:00:55.040
We're going to have a q and a session towards the end.

17
00:00:55.040 --> 00:00:59.140
But if you want us to unmute your microphone, if you wanna verbally ask your question,

18
00:00:59.440 --> 00:01:03.060
go to brilliantdirectories.com/stream,

19
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:08.895
and then, just type in questions into the comments there. That allows us to unmute your microphone.

20
00:01:09.195 --> 00:01:12.475
And we do have viewers joining us on YouTube live.

21
00:01:12.475 --> 00:01:17.274
If you're not subscribed to the Brilliant Directories YouTube channel, definitely invites you to join.

22
00:01:17.274 --> 00:01:20.470
You can go to brilliant.com/youtube.

23
00:01:20.470 --> 00:01:22.090
It's a great way to get notified,

24
00:01:22.550 --> 00:01:26.890
as soon as the webinar replays are available, tips of the week, feature tutorials,

25
00:01:27.270 --> 00:01:28.170
and more.

26
00:01:28.390 --> 00:01:35.685
Also, after this webinar is completed, we will paste the replay into the Brilliant Directories Facebook group.

27
00:01:35.685 --> 00:01:40.585
We also encourage you to join us there. You can go to brilliantdirectories.com/Facebook.

28
00:01:40.725 --> 00:01:45.705
All are welcome to join. It's a great place to ask questions about your site, get feedback,

29
00:01:46.310 --> 00:01:49.670
ask strategy questions, how to questions. I'm in there myself.

30
00:01:49.670 --> 00:01:55.290
It's really a positive and constructive conversations happening in there, and we do invite everyone to join.

31
00:01:55.509 --> 00:02:03.605
Also, if you have a Brilliant Directories website, but you don't have the Brilliant Directories app yet, it is free to download in both the Apple and Google stores.

32
00:02:03.605 --> 00:02:06.565
You can go to brilliantdirectories.com/

33
00:02:06.565 --> 00:02:11.044
apple app or Google app, or you can just search for Brilliant Directories in the stores.

34
00:02:11.044 --> 00:02:11.685
We're working.

35
00:02:11.685 --> 00:02:16.940
We're making headway this year on updating this app to get you guys real time push notifications

36
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:23.500
so you can get pinged and notified when new revenue comes into your site, new members join, and other alerts.

37
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:26.600
Probably towards the middle of the year, we'll have that ready.

38
00:02:26.600 --> 00:02:29.495
I know time goes by real quick, quick, so it'll be sooner than later.

39
00:02:29.495 --> 00:02:31.815
But we do encourage you to download the app now.

40
00:02:31.815 --> 00:02:35.835
It's a great way to stay up to date with your BD site on the go.

41
00:02:36.055 --> 00:02:41.079
And we have a great turnout for today's webinar. It's great to see so many people in here today.

42
00:02:41.079 --> 00:02:44.140
If this is your first time joining us, again, welcome.

43
00:02:44.519 --> 00:02:46.280
A little bit about webinar Wednesday.

44
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:50.680
You know, the BD team is busy pushing new updates week after week.

45
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:58.095
And what we like to do in webinar Wednesdays is cover and share some of the updates that you can take actionable steps on to help grow your community,

46
00:02:58.635 --> 00:03:02.235
to increase revenue, traffic, get yourself organized a bit more.

47
00:03:02.235 --> 00:03:12.230
So if you have questions about any of these topics you see here, increasing traffic, revenue opportunities, or anything else about your membership website, please save them and ask them in the comments.

48
00:03:12.230 --> 00:03:15.930
I will be able to get to, I think many questions in today's webinar.

49
00:03:16.470 --> 00:03:21.690
Awesome. And before getting into some of the Q and A, we have some new and upcoming

50
00:03:22.015 --> 00:03:26.915
features to share more mostly new features in today's BD Lab updates.

51
00:03:27.055 --> 00:03:39.050
The number one and top of this list and the reason it's at the top of this list is not only because it's a new payment gateway that's supported in India, but this is the beachhead for adding additional payment gateways,

52
00:03:39.670 --> 00:03:40.550
moving forward,

53
00:03:40.870 --> 00:03:42.470
through 2025

54
00:03:42.470 --> 00:03:44.310
into the Brilliant Directories platform.

55
00:03:44.310 --> 00:03:52.935
So for those of you in India, and we do have a lot of users there who have been finding workarounds with PayPal, or finding other limitations, you can now connect Razorpay.

56
00:03:53.075 --> 00:03:57.015
For those of you who don't know, Razorpay is like the Stripe of India. It's,

57
00:03:57.555 --> 00:04:02.375
the most commonly used payment gateway. So let me just quickly show you guys a demo

58
00:04:02.675 --> 00:04:06.770
of, of how this Razorpay will work. I'll just show you on the front end here.

59
00:04:06.770 --> 00:04:08.790
I have it connected to this test site.

60
00:04:09.570 --> 00:04:11.350
And when you have it connected,

61
00:04:11.890 --> 00:04:17.665
it'll be just like every other payment page. There's no billing info information to enter here.

62
00:04:17.825 --> 00:04:20.565
You just continue to create the profile.

63
00:04:20.945 --> 00:04:23.445
And when Razorpay is on your site,

64
00:04:23.905 --> 00:04:26.945
you just give it a few moments, and then you'll be prompted with,

65
00:04:27.825 --> 00:04:30.085
the the payment options with Razorpay.

66
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:33.300
When you're using Razorpay

67
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:34.100
also,

68
00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:37.280
the site will be set to Indian,

69
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:42.259
rupees as the currency. So we could see here we're getting prompted with the Razorpay pop up.

70
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.380
And I wanna give a shout out to one of the marketplace,

71
00:04:45.840 --> 00:04:47.460
partners here, Lalit Kumar.

72
00:04:48.215 --> 00:04:50.855
He assisted us actually in the development of this.

73
00:04:50.855 --> 00:04:54.695
We needed, in in the info number to do some of our testing and whatnot.

74
00:04:54.695 --> 00:05:00.360
So just wanted to give him a special shout out for helping us reach the the goal line with this one.

75
00:05:00.840 --> 00:05:04.539
Lalit is a developer in, the Brilliant Directories marketplace.

76
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:09.099
He's been with us for over eight years. He's an independent freelancer,

77
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:14.139
but, he's done some great work on some BD sites. So big shout out and thank you to Lalit.

78
00:05:14.985 --> 00:05:19.965
Now just a quick overview in the admin area where you can see the Razorpay settings here.

79
00:05:20.185 --> 00:05:22.685
If we go to finance and payment settings,

80
00:05:24.505 --> 00:05:26.044
and once we're here,

81
00:05:26.345 --> 00:05:27.725
of course, you can choose

82
00:05:28.185 --> 00:05:30.125
oop. Just checking Razorpay there.

83
00:05:30.810 --> 00:05:35.630
You can, choose from different gateways that are available. On-site payment gateways,

84
00:05:36.250 --> 00:05:37.690
are the more advanced ones.

85
00:05:37.690 --> 00:05:42.910
It means that the user enters their credit card information on your site without ever leaving.

86
00:05:43.130 --> 00:05:45.790
We're all familiar with kinda like PayPal Express,

87
00:05:46.155 --> 00:05:54.095
which is an off-site payment gateway where you are sent to PayPal to complete your payment and then brought back to, the site.

88
00:05:54.715 --> 00:05:57.375
In this case, Razorpay is here and,

89
00:05:57.675 --> 00:06:01.855
I just put some dummy information for this, integration here but,

90
00:06:02.850 --> 00:06:03.730
when you do,

91
00:06:04.770 --> 00:06:10.470
when you do, connect your Razorpay, you only need two values here, the key ID and the key secret.

92
00:06:10.770 --> 00:06:14.070
And there's some really good documentation if you click on the documentation

93
00:06:14.450 --> 00:06:15.270
link here.

94
00:06:16.275 --> 00:06:21.155
There's a great article here in our support center for setting up Razorpay. It's super easy.

95
00:06:21.155 --> 00:06:22.775
You just need a Razorpay account

96
00:06:23.075 --> 00:06:27.815
and, you get your API keys and you copy the key ID and the secret key,

97
00:06:28.195 --> 00:06:29.955
to your Brilliant Directories site.

98
00:06:29.955 --> 00:06:40.280
So super easy to do and, we'll have some more updates as things progress with this update and we're excited to see it in the wild now, and being used by the Brilliant Directories community.

99
00:06:40.420 --> 00:06:43.240
Alright. Next one on this list, also a monumental

100
00:06:43.780 --> 00:06:44.265
update.

101
00:06:44.345 --> 00:06:55.545
If you've been tracking some of the language updates we've done the past six months to the year, you can now translate or have your BD site start in the primary language of your country.

102
00:06:55.545 --> 00:07:01.010
So if you have a site for Japan, you can have your site starting and translated in Japanese.

103
00:07:01.389 --> 00:07:07.310
Up until now, the default system emails that came with your BD site, you'd have to translate them manually.

104
00:07:07.310 --> 00:07:12.050
And I think there's quite a few of the emails. With this update, which is now released and

105
00:07:12.455 --> 00:07:20.295
should apply for everyone who has their site, chosen in an alternate language, the emails will already be translated for you as well.

106
00:07:20.295 --> 00:07:28.970
You can further translate them to match your brand's tone and persona or brand's voice, but the the default language, all the heavy lifting will be done for you.

107
00:07:28.970 --> 00:07:31.150
Let me show you an example of that.

108
00:07:32.330 --> 00:07:34.910
So let's go first to general settings here.

109
00:07:38.615 --> 00:07:41.755
And actually, let's I'm gonna open two tabs for us here.

110
00:07:43.175 --> 00:07:45.835
Let's go to emails and email templates.

111
00:07:50.135 --> 00:07:52.715
Alright. So if we look at the email templates here,

112
00:07:53.169 --> 00:07:56.449
these are the premade templates. There's okay. Well, there's 97 of them.

113
00:07:56.449 --> 00:07:57.750
There's quite a few of them.

114
00:07:58.129 --> 00:08:00.470
Most of these are the emails that go out when,

115
00:08:01.409 --> 00:08:04.470
you know, when a member signs up, when they receive a review,

116
00:08:05.355 --> 00:08:10.895
when they receive a chat message, all those different system emails that go out, which are really convenient,

117
00:08:11.675 --> 00:08:13.055
being available here.

118
00:08:13.515 --> 00:08:17.135
But let's set the site's language from English to Japanese

119
00:08:18.280 --> 00:08:19.580
as an example here.

120
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.840
And we'll use the same lang language for the text labels.

121
00:08:22.840 --> 00:08:26.780
That means that we wanted to actually change the text on the front end of the site.

122
00:08:27.320 --> 00:08:29.580
And if we refresh this page here

123
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:36.365
and go back to premade templates, we'll see now all the emails, the premade templates are in Japanese.

124
00:08:36.585 --> 00:08:39.405
They'll be sent in Japanese, including the subject lines.

125
00:08:39.544 --> 00:08:44.525
You can still use the BD variables that we're all familiar with such as first name,

126
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:48.340
and so on. Let's do, send a test email here.

127
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:58.000
And once this loads up here perfect. We can see here you can still use the variables here.

128
00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:01.255
So we're gonna assume your website name is in Japanese.

129
00:09:01.395 --> 00:09:08.115
So the variable will be, you know, matching the Japanese version of your website name and all the other text here as well.

130
00:09:08.115 --> 00:09:08.615
So,

131
00:09:09.075 --> 00:09:13.415
super helpful, super convenient, and, now making it easier to

132
00:09:14.010 --> 00:09:16.590
operate your site in in a new language.

133
00:09:17.130 --> 00:09:21.150
Alright. This one is also related to languages. It is for the URLs

134
00:09:21.530 --> 00:09:24.830
for when members are logged into their account dashboards.

135
00:09:25.130 --> 00:09:30.205
We've added a new one for the upgrade page. We've tried to track down all the URLs.

136
00:09:30.425 --> 00:09:34.584
If you need to, you can edit the URLs to also match your website's language.

137
00:09:34.584 --> 00:09:37.565
Let me quickly show you, where that will be.

138
00:09:37.945 --> 00:09:40.765
If you need to do this, you can go to advanced settings.

139
00:09:42.510 --> 00:09:44.770
And I think we could search for member

140
00:09:45.390 --> 00:09:45.890
dashboard,

141
00:09:46.910 --> 00:09:47.410
URL.

142
00:09:48.510 --> 00:09:51.550
And there's pretty much one of one for everything.

143
00:09:51.550 --> 00:09:55.730
Let me kind of show you what I'm referring to here. Let's go to the member dashboard.

144
00:09:55.955 --> 00:10:00.055
So we're logged in as a member. Well, here now the site's in Japanese here.

145
00:10:00.195 --> 00:10:06.455
So, we can see over here, it says account forward slash home and all these internal pages,

146
00:10:06.995 --> 00:10:08.615
account videos add.

147
00:10:09.430 --> 00:10:13.449
Now you can edit these, this language here, these slugs

148
00:10:13.750 --> 00:10:15.750
to match the website's language.

149
00:10:15.750 --> 00:10:20.170
So if you go to your advanced settings and search for member dashboard URL,

150
00:10:20.949 --> 00:10:23.115
you can find these. You can edit these.

151
00:10:23.435 --> 00:10:27.535
Later, we'll probably make these with one click to also further make the translations,

152
00:10:27.995 --> 00:10:32.395
easier for everyone. But if you need to, it's only about a dozen or so of these.

153
00:10:32.395 --> 00:10:36.015
The new one we recently added was the upgrade one.

154
00:10:36.795 --> 00:10:38.235
Let me see if I could find it here.

155
00:10:38.235 --> 00:10:45.110
Well, not too important, but there was one for upgrading your account, which was recently added, but you have access to all of these here.

156
00:10:45.810 --> 00:10:47.910
I'm gonna paste this, the member,

157
00:10:48.850 --> 00:10:53.589
what's a search in the filter here if you wanna access these. Member dashboard URL.

158
00:10:54.305 --> 00:10:59.904
Just pop that in the filter here in your advanced settings and you can kinda see what they are.

159
00:10:59.904 --> 00:11:04.325
Even if your site's in English, you might wanna change these just to kind of match the,

160
00:11:04.865 --> 00:11:08.650
the theme of your site and your market better if needed. Alright.

161
00:11:08.650 --> 00:11:13.790
I'm super excited about this fourth one here on the list related to digital products.

162
00:11:13.930 --> 00:11:17.070
So if you're familiar with digital products, you can actually,

163
00:11:17.690 --> 00:11:18.730
sell digital products.

164
00:11:18.730 --> 00:11:25.755
You can sell services, banner ads, anything that's not a membership level, you can sell additionally as a digital product.

165
00:11:25.815 --> 00:11:35.334
And sometimes when you're creating a digital product, you have protected web pages that you've put that paywall, the digital product paywall in front of before people can access them.

166
00:11:35.334 --> 00:11:47.120
Up until now, if you created a web page with that private content only for the digital product buyers, you could only select one digital product of that has been purchased for buyers to access that page.

167
00:11:47.339 --> 00:11:57.425
Now you can select you can restrict pages by multiple product buyers, different digital product buyers, so you don't have to clone a page and then choose the another digital product.

168
00:11:57.425 --> 00:12:00.725
So let me show you what I'm referring to here. It's a little easier,

169
00:12:01.584 --> 00:12:02.880
than explaining it. So

170
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:04.100
let's assume,

171
00:12:04.640 --> 00:12:11.140
this page here. I'll just choose a random one here. Upcoming community events. Let's edit this page.

172
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:17.060
And let's say only people who have donated our digital products we have on this test site are for donations.

173
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:24.065
So, we can protect this web page, only allow digital product buyers, and we now see these check marks here.

174
00:12:24.845 --> 00:12:28.045
So before, you could only choose one, and then you were done.

175
00:12:28.045 --> 00:12:38.899
So if you wanted it other buyers of different digital products to access, the the contents of this page, You'd have to clone this page and then select the other digital product that corresponded to it.

176
00:12:39.060 --> 00:12:40.420
So now this saves a lot of time.

177
00:12:40.420 --> 00:12:48.920
You can create one page and give buyers of multiple different digital products access to these protected private content pages.

178
00:12:49.214 --> 00:12:52.975
Just do a probably a tip of the week on, an overview on digital products.

179
00:12:52.975 --> 00:12:56.014
There's a lot of use cases for that that are super helpful. Alright.

180
00:12:56.014 --> 00:12:58.834
This next one here is related to the member credits.

181
00:12:59.375 --> 00:13:09.070
Now when members log in to their member dashboard, they can actually see their credit usage added or deducted from their account in their member dashboard.

182
00:13:09.070 --> 00:13:12.370
Let me show you. I have a screenshot of what that would look like.

183
00:13:12.910 --> 00:13:17.675
Here we go. So this is inside the transaction history page of the, member's dashboard.

184
00:13:17.975 --> 00:13:23.355
They can see their payment history, subscriptions, and there is a new tab here, credit history,

185
00:13:23.735 --> 00:13:27.030
and it shows what day and what amount, credits were,

186
00:13:27.750 --> 00:13:31.050
used and or added. And, also, in their payment history,

187
00:13:31.430 --> 00:13:33.130
they can see exactly,

188
00:13:34.470 --> 00:13:37.210
when they paid for something if a credit was applied

189
00:13:37.590 --> 00:13:39.130
as well. But this is basically,

190
00:13:39.935 --> 00:13:42.675
just a a sheet that monitors the credits,

191
00:13:43.055 --> 00:13:47.395
deductions, and additions to their account and the date as well.

192
00:13:48.095 --> 00:13:49.695
I can kinda see the benefit here.

193
00:13:49.695 --> 00:13:54.755
We should maybe include the invoice ID that the credit, was used for if there's a deduction.

194
00:13:55.100 --> 00:13:58.620
So I'll make a note of that and add it to the team just looking at this now. Alright.

195
00:13:58.620 --> 00:14:03.100
This next one here was actually a release several months ago that we had to pull back.

196
00:14:03.100 --> 00:14:09.040
There was actually we hit a few snags with it related to the icons and the ability to apply colors,

197
00:14:09.545 --> 00:14:14.584
to the free icon icons that are available in the media manager. This one's really fun.

198
00:14:14.584 --> 00:14:18.285
Let me show you what we're referring to here. So a while ago,

199
00:14:19.225 --> 00:14:21.084
let's just click here.

200
00:14:21.779 --> 00:14:22.980
We did add the ability.

201
00:14:22.980 --> 00:14:29.720
If you're not familiar with it, in your media manager or in the Freuela text editor, you have access to

202
00:14:30.180 --> 00:14:32.519
millions and millions of stock photo libraries.

203
00:14:33.860 --> 00:14:35.320
There is one specifically

204
00:14:35.700 --> 00:14:36.600
for icons.

205
00:14:37.705 --> 00:14:43.725
And up until this update, all the icons would always come in, the color black. It just defaulted,

206
00:14:44.345 --> 00:14:53.209
to the black version of that, which is great unless you're putting the icon against a darker background, then you didn't really get the the contrast,

207
00:14:53.589 --> 00:14:54.250
of it.

208
00:14:54.949 --> 00:14:57.930
So what we you can now do is actually you can,

209
00:14:58.310 --> 00:15:02.250
the colors of your design, settings are here, the key ones here.

210
00:15:02.550 --> 00:15:04.730
We could also choose any color you want.

211
00:15:05.235 --> 00:15:08.615
And we'll just choose this green color here, and we'll do a search.

212
00:15:09.075 --> 00:15:13.395
And the icons that we're seeing will be downloaded in this green color here.

213
00:15:13.395 --> 00:15:16.055
So let's just choose, the city one here.

214
00:15:17.395 --> 00:15:19.795
And we can see here, now the icon is there.

215
00:15:19.795 --> 00:15:23.350
Now why this is beneficial is we can go to the homepage of this site.

216
00:15:24.610 --> 00:15:27.670
And you can see here I've actually used white icons,

217
00:15:28.290 --> 00:15:31.750
against a kind of like a darker forest green, color,

218
00:15:32.370 --> 00:15:36.584
which now gives more flexibility on where you can use icons and things like that.

219
00:15:36.584 --> 00:15:40.285
What's really nice about this is you can also use it in your email templates.

220
00:15:40.345 --> 00:15:42.285
Icons work great in email templates,

221
00:15:42.985 --> 00:15:45.885
you know, left or right aligned and things like that.

222
00:15:46.264 --> 00:15:50.410
But now with this update, you can actually choose, the colors of the icons.

223
00:15:50.410 --> 00:15:56.830
And just a just a side note here, if you're not familiar with this, if you're building out landing pages or your emails, let's just go to the,

224
00:15:57.290 --> 00:16:03.070
the icon library here. Lots of really great icons here. We'll just search, the word link.

225
00:16:05.545 --> 00:16:09.165
And, really, you get dozens and dozens of results just for certain keywords.

226
00:16:09.385 --> 00:16:13.785
I'll just do something obscure like fun, whatever that would bring for an icon.

227
00:16:13.785 --> 00:16:16.205
And can we see people having fun playing arcades,

228
00:16:17.150 --> 00:16:18.510
and things like that?

229
00:16:18.510 --> 00:16:26.750
So if you could think of a a one word noun or action or verb, you could probably find an icon to correspond with it, which is a great way to decorate your website.

230
00:16:26.750 --> 00:16:27.070
Alright.

231
00:16:27.070 --> 00:16:37.535
And last but not least, this is not released yet, but if you're like me and you've you've tried pasting emojis into the text editor and then when you go and look at the page, all you see are question marks.

232
00:16:37.755 --> 00:16:40.635
It's the way that the emojis are being saved in the database.

233
00:16:40.635 --> 00:16:48.230
We're doing a global update that will allow for emoji characters to be pasted and saved in different fields of the admin, basically, zeros

234
00:16:49.649 --> 00:16:50.550
thing. Emojis

235
00:16:50.930 --> 00:16:53.589
characters have more ones and zeros that define those.

236
00:16:53.730 --> 00:17:01.029
So the database is gonna be able to support characters that have more ones and zeros that define what that character is from a technical perspective.

237
00:17:01.170 --> 00:17:01.750
But, nevertheless,

238
00:17:02.115 --> 00:17:03.575
you'll be able to paste emojis,

239
00:17:03.955 --> 00:17:10.915
freely around your site and use them anywhere, and it should be great because emojis are tons of fun as we could see just in this slide here.

240
00:17:10.915 --> 00:17:13.795
So these are just a few updates recently released.

241
00:17:13.795 --> 00:17:17.790
If you have any questions about that, you can type in questions in all caps.

242
00:17:17.790 --> 00:17:21.710
We can talk about, some of these updates before we move on to the q and a.

243
00:17:21.710 --> 00:17:26.110
We'll go ahead and move on to the q and a. But, also, a big shout out to the BD community.

244
00:17:26.110 --> 00:17:28.530
A lot of these updates are from your suggestions.

245
00:17:28.915 --> 00:17:39.075
Improving the BD platform is always an ongoing project, and there's so many amazing features, but there's always places to improve and can't stop and won't stop, especially with your guys' support.

246
00:17:39.075 --> 00:17:40.195
So thank you, guys.

247
00:17:40.195 --> 00:17:46.270
And, yeah, with that, we can take questions about these updates, or we can just move on to the q Q and A section here.

248
00:17:46.570 --> 00:17:48.890
And let's see. David, you've done a good job here.

249
00:17:48.890 --> 00:17:54.570
You've kind of helped us starring some questions here. We can move on over here. Let's see.

250
00:17:54.570 --> 00:17:59.929
Phil's got a question and let me turn off this banner as well. So, Phil, thank you for the question.

251
00:17:59.929 --> 00:18:01.745
Will QuickBooks payments

252
00:18:02.205 --> 00:18:04.065
links be added as well?

253
00:18:04.125 --> 00:18:08.205
I actually haven't heard of QuickBooks payment links as a payment gateway yet.

254
00:18:08.205 --> 00:18:11.505
I know QuickBooks allows you to send invoices to clients.

255
00:18:11.885 --> 00:18:15.889
There might be I'm just thinking, because this is something we're exploring later.

256
00:18:15.889 --> 00:18:17.750
Let's just do a quick search for,

257
00:18:18.769 --> 00:18:19.830
Stripe QuickBooks,

258
00:18:21.490 --> 00:18:22.470
payment method.

259
00:18:26.315 --> 00:18:30.715
Let's see here. Integrating Stripe with QuickBooks. That's not what we're looking for.

260
00:18:30.715 --> 00:18:33.215
That just sends your data from Stripe to QuickBooks.

261
00:18:34.315 --> 00:18:36.015
Let's see. This is what QuickBooks

262
00:18:36.315 --> 00:18:38.560
wallet is what we want. Sometimes Stripe has it.

263
00:18:38.560 --> 00:18:42.580
Like, they have Apple Pay, Google Pay, things like that that you could enable.

264
00:18:43.040 --> 00:18:45.700
Connect Stripe by Commerce sync with quick QuickBooks.

265
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:49.200
We don't have any immediate plans, Phil, but just a quick search.

266
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:52.740
It might be something that we we wanna see if it exists, first of all.

267
00:18:53.945 --> 00:18:59.385
But, yeah, I I don't have an exact answer your first time I'm hearing about it, but definitely appreciate the question.

268
00:18:59.385 --> 00:19:04.025
We can kinda dig a little bit more in it to see what the possibilities with that might be. Alright.

269
00:19:04.025 --> 00:19:05.225
We got another one here.

270
00:19:05.225 --> 00:19:12.240
Can we yet create digital products with a quantity field if we're selling something that someone can buy multiple items of?

271
00:19:12.380 --> 00:19:14.240
I think this is the final frontier

272
00:19:14.620 --> 00:19:17.440
for the digital products. Last year during summertime,

273
00:19:17.980 --> 00:19:24.645
we did a slew of updates to the digital products, including supporting recurring payments, custom donation amounts,

274
00:19:25.105 --> 00:19:25.925
selling credits,

275
00:19:26.304 --> 00:19:31.445
and more. That all seems to have worked well, and quantity has been asked quite frequently.

276
00:19:31.585 --> 00:19:35.880
I'm gonna share this. Let me actually make a note of this question specifically here.

277
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:38.860
Give me a second here. Let me get my notepad up.

278
00:19:38.919 --> 00:19:43.100
I'm gonna take your question here and type it in here. A quantity for digital,

279
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:45.080
digital products.

280
00:19:45.080 --> 00:19:50.705
The next thing after that, that I that I would anticipate users wanting is a shopping cart.

281
00:19:50.705 --> 00:19:56.385
So not only can you have the quantity, but you can store what you're buying in a shopping cart and then check them out.

282
00:19:56.385 --> 00:20:02.940
But I think quantity would be the lower hanging fruit and then probably then the really the final frontier would be a shopping cart

283
00:20:03.419 --> 00:20:03.919
feature.

284
00:20:05.100 --> 00:20:10.960
So, yeah, again, I'll make a note of this and I obviously don't have any time frame on it, but definitely appreciate,

285
00:20:11.419 --> 00:20:13.179
the suggestions. I'm gonna add,

286
00:20:14.139 --> 00:20:15.039
that after,

287
00:20:15.580 --> 00:20:16.080
cart,

288
00:20:16.539 --> 00:20:17.039
support.

289
00:20:17.935 --> 00:20:20.275
Alright. Good stuff there, Scott. Good question.

290
00:20:20.575 --> 00:20:25.315
Alright. We've got another question here. Salinas is asking, I am using the claimable

291
00:20:25.615 --> 00:20:32.890
listing add on, and I don't want to copyright infringe by putting a business logo on their listing before they have claimed their listing.

292
00:20:32.890 --> 00:20:38.830
I wanted to know if I could upload a branded placeholder image that can replace the user icon

293
00:20:39.130 --> 00:20:41.470
image. I think there are some options

294
00:20:41.770 --> 00:20:43.870
for that. Let me just check here.

295
00:20:45.050 --> 00:20:46.510
If you go to your

296
00:20:46.965 --> 00:20:47.465
general

297
00:20:48.645 --> 00:20:49.145
settings

298
00:20:50.325 --> 00:20:50.825
and

299
00:20:51.125 --> 00:20:51.945
go to,

300
00:20:52.485 --> 00:20:53.385
brand images,

301
00:20:55.205 --> 00:20:58.184
Salinas, this is this is actually exactly what you can do.

302
00:20:59.365 --> 00:21:03.100
Let's see here. Okay. What you wanna do is come here and

303
00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:09.160
add a default member photo and a default member logo. It doesn't matter which one you use.

304
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:15.184
And replace this kinda the silhouette of a of a profile here. And you can do your branded,

305
00:21:15.885 --> 00:21:19.405
placeholder here. If you add this here, this is what's showing.

306
00:21:19.405 --> 00:21:21.745
Let's let's go there together on the site.

307
00:21:22.605 --> 00:21:23.985
Let me just go to search.

308
00:21:25.725 --> 00:21:32.460
And you can see here this this silhouette image, when you add your branded image, it will replace this here.

309
00:21:32.460 --> 00:21:40.000
So you definitely do have a way to add to edit this and have your own branded image while you're waiting for members to add, their own,

310
00:21:40.460 --> 00:21:44.395
for their own logos or profile images. Alright. Let's bring Scott here.

311
00:21:44.395 --> 00:21:46.815
Let me let me unreach you here, Scott.

312
00:21:47.275 --> 00:21:51.615
Let me see. There you go. How are you doing? I'm good. How are you doing, Jason? Excellent.

313
00:21:51.755 --> 00:21:53.375
Quick question about search results,

314
00:21:54.075 --> 00:21:57.660
especially with, you know, 70% of people being mobile now.

315
00:21:57.900 --> 00:22:02.800
When you search by location and you're on desktop, you get miles from location

316
00:22:03.180 --> 00:22:05.360
in the search results as a kind of a default.

317
00:22:06.140 --> 00:22:10.940
But when you go on mobile, you lose that, and we can't my developer hasn't been able to figure it out.

318
00:22:10.940 --> 00:22:12.800
Is is there a reason why

319
00:22:13.435 --> 00:22:17.695
you don't include miles from the search location in the mobile results?

320
00:22:18.075 --> 00:22:18.395
Yes.

321
00:22:19.195 --> 00:22:23.115
Let me I'll explain to you, and I'll and I'll let you know what you can do if you need to do that.

322
00:22:23.115 --> 00:22:25.215
I'm getting a little bit of background noise,

323
00:22:25.755 --> 00:22:30.300
not not a ton. But what's happening if you if you look at the screen here, Scott,

324
00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:31.740
this

325
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:37.080
this module here let's switch back away from Japanese because it's kinda confusing me. Okay.

326
00:22:37.080 --> 00:22:38.620
I'm so not saying English.

327
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:40.940
Alright. Just a moment here.

328
00:22:44.685 --> 00:22:48.705
Now we know it works in Japanese. That's great. So let's refresh it here.

329
00:22:49.645 --> 00:22:50.145
Okay.

330
00:22:51.725 --> 00:22:53.105
So, yeah, on mobile,

331
00:22:53.565 --> 00:22:57.165
there is limited space, and there's a lot of information being shared.

332
00:22:57.165 --> 00:23:02.600
So I I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna share with you exactly what you can give to your, web web developer.

333
00:23:02.600 --> 00:23:03.740
What's happening is

334
00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:08.700
this this part with the white background here, it's called the info section

335
00:23:09.000 --> 00:23:13.914
from a from a web designer's perspective. So that's the info section. When I go to mobile view

336
00:23:15.115 --> 00:23:16.414
let's go a little smaller.

337
00:23:17.995 --> 00:23:18.894
A little smaller.

338
00:23:19.595 --> 00:23:25.455
There we go. It it disappears because, really, a mobile view is like this, and it becomes hard to

339
00:23:26.190 --> 00:23:27.090
display that,

340
00:23:27.630 --> 00:23:33.230
there. However, what you can do is and I'll give you this right now to give to your

341
00:23:34.590 --> 00:23:36.029
I'm I'm gonna put the code in here.

342
00:23:36.029 --> 00:23:40.210
What you can do here is add a info section if you wanna override this and do display

343
00:23:41.385 --> 00:23:42.365
block important.

344
00:23:44.025 --> 00:23:46.445
And there you gotta we gotta do some things here,

345
00:23:46.825 --> 00:23:48.365
to get it. But, basically,

346
00:23:50.585 --> 00:23:54.210
your your web designer can I'm just gonna add this here because this is pretty clean here.

347
00:23:54.210 --> 00:24:01.350
And this will then show this is the module that's being hidden that also shows the distance in miles or whatever that you're referring to when,

348
00:24:01.650 --> 00:24:02.950
you do a search.

349
00:24:04.049 --> 00:24:07.570
Now this could be maybe a little nicer, but I think this is enough ammo.

350
00:24:07.570 --> 00:24:10.765
I'm gonna put this in the message in the comments here,

351
00:24:11.705 --> 00:24:16.765
and let me actually make it, more specific. We wanna do this for member results only.

352
00:24:18.265 --> 00:24:19.565
Just a second here.

353
00:24:21.065 --> 00:24:25.940
Okay. I'm gonna share this, what I got here in the chat. Give this to your designer or developer.

354
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:28.900
This you can just put this in your design settings.

355
00:24:29.280 --> 00:24:31.060
Let me go to comments here.

356
00:24:33.760 --> 00:24:34.260
Okay.

357
00:24:36.015 --> 00:24:40.495
Perfect. And what you wanna do is is drop this into your design settings.

358
00:24:40.495 --> 00:24:43.235
Let's actually do it together. We'll we'll do a test real quick.

359
00:24:47.775 --> 00:24:49.075
You go to custom CSS

360
00:24:49.780 --> 00:24:54.820
and just drop it, in into here. Just write whenever wherever you want into your custom CSS.

361
00:24:54.820 --> 00:24:57.480
But you're basically adding a custom style sheet rule.

362
00:24:58.180 --> 00:25:02.580
And let's refresh this page and see if it's if it keeps it here now. Yeah. So there we go.

363
00:25:02.580 --> 00:25:03.560
See, it's still here.

364
00:25:04.065 --> 00:25:05.264
So that's what you need.

365
00:25:05.505 --> 00:25:10.485
If they need to style it further or target the elements within it, they have the access to do so now.

366
00:25:10.784 --> 00:25:16.590
So that just duplicates the information section that's on the desktop and brings it into the mobile view.

367
00:25:16.750 --> 00:25:18.110
Right. It doesn't duplicate it.

368
00:25:18.110 --> 00:25:23.970
It doesn't hide it is what's happening because what we're doing is we're actively hiding it on mobile because it's just

369
00:25:24.350 --> 00:25:29.265
a lot. But in this case, if you wanna keep all this on mobile, that's your go to code right there.

370
00:25:29.425 --> 00:25:33.345
Thank you very much. I appreciate it. You're welcome. Good. Great question there. Alright.

371
00:25:33.345 --> 00:25:34.645
Let's see what we do here.

372
00:25:34.945 --> 00:25:39.585
Kick from studio. We're learning this neat thing. Okay. Here's a good question here from Salinas.

373
00:25:39.585 --> 00:25:41.845
Can you automate giving a membership

374
00:25:42.145 --> 00:25:46.240
group monthly credits? This is a great question. There's nothing

375
00:25:46.700 --> 00:25:47.200
default

376
00:25:47.500 --> 00:25:54.460
where you can give your members, like, automatically grant them credits inside of the Brilliant Directories system.

377
00:25:54.460 --> 00:25:56.160
However, with that said,

378
00:25:56.715 --> 00:26:00.095
with the Brilliant Directories API, it's a little higher level.

379
00:26:01.995 --> 00:26:04.015
Let's just do a search here. API

380
00:26:04.395 --> 00:26:04.895
endpoints.

381
00:26:06.554 --> 00:26:09.755
With the Brilliant Directories API, what you can do

382
00:26:10.475 --> 00:26:12.900
oh, look at that. I got the mobile view there. Okay.

383
00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:15.460
You can update,

384
00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:17.700
your members,

385
00:26:18.080 --> 00:26:23.060
with the API, and you can with while updating them, you can add credits,

386
00:26:24.185 --> 00:26:27.085
when you're updating them using the API.

387
00:26:27.625 --> 00:26:32.125
And with this, you can set up an automatic schedule. You'll probably need the help of a developer,

388
00:26:32.665 --> 00:26:33.385
to do this,

389
00:26:33.865 --> 00:26:35.325
but you do have the ability,

390
00:26:35.705 --> 00:26:37.165
to do that with the API.

391
00:26:37.669 --> 00:26:39.450
What we would do is under the users,

392
00:26:39.910 --> 00:26:41.289
what we would do is,

393
00:26:41.910 --> 00:26:44.730
update the update user action with the API.

394
00:26:45.350 --> 00:26:52.010
And one of the fields is to, add or deduct credits, and you can set up a monthly schedule and just cycle,

395
00:26:52.555 --> 00:26:56.895
cycle through members of a specific membership plan using the API there. So,

396
00:26:57.275 --> 00:27:02.395
not the exact answer you're looking for, but there is a way, using the API to accomplish that.

397
00:27:02.395 --> 00:27:04.655
Thank you for that question there. Alright.

398
00:27:05.080 --> 00:27:07.240
Daryl, good to see you here, Daryl. Alright. Question.

399
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:15.100
Is there a way to delay listing becoming inactive when the membership renewal date comes up, say, a ten day grace period?

400
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:17.020
Alright. So another automation

401
00:27:17.320 --> 00:27:19.340
thing. So this is a good question here.

402
00:27:20.115 --> 00:27:24.775
I think, first of all, there is an advanced setting here. Let's check it out together.

403
00:27:25.475 --> 00:27:27.335
And let's go to past due.

404
00:27:31.235 --> 00:27:31.735
Okay.

405
00:27:32.995 --> 00:27:34.375
Here is the setting

406
00:27:34.800 --> 00:27:39.620
here. Autos let's see what we got here. There's a few here. Suspend past due member accounts.

407
00:27:39.840 --> 00:27:42.580
So if a member's past due, they're they're put on hold,

408
00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:48.500
and then they can log in. They can pay their past due amount and and then reactivate their account.

409
00:27:49.535 --> 00:27:52.515
This is other one. Auto suspend past due member accounts.

410
00:27:54.335 --> 00:28:01.530
Once it's on members who have an invoice that is past due associated with their account, we'll automatically have their accounts status changed to past due.

411
00:28:01.690 --> 00:28:03.870
So there's nothing based on days.

412
00:28:04.970 --> 00:28:08.010
However, back to that that API trigger,

413
00:28:08.330 --> 00:28:09.630
that I mentioned. So,

414
00:28:10.890 --> 00:28:12.110
what you could do,

415
00:28:13.370 --> 00:28:15.710
potentially is, again, using the API,

416
00:28:17.955 --> 00:28:21.895
If there's actually, we have recently an update. There's a new webhook.

417
00:28:23.155 --> 00:28:24.375
This is actually perfect.

418
00:28:25.075 --> 00:28:27.395
So what you can do is turn these off.

419
00:28:27.395 --> 00:28:31.575
Don't auto suspend them when they're when they're past due and all that stuff. Again,

420
00:28:32.010 --> 00:28:34.510
I have to dig deeper into this, but there's a new webhook.

421
00:28:34.730 --> 00:28:39.390
Basically, webhook sets sends data from your bb site out to,

422
00:28:40.010 --> 00:28:41.550
out to other platforms.

423
00:28:42.650 --> 00:28:44.270
And let's just look for payment.

424
00:28:46.765 --> 00:28:52.385
There's one coming there's one coming up when a recurring payment happens and it's past due.

425
00:28:53.005 --> 00:28:55.025
You can you can create a webhook,

426
00:28:55.405 --> 00:28:59.745
and that will basically send that data of the member whose payment was past due.

427
00:29:00.380 --> 00:29:02.559
And probably you can set a delay there,

428
00:29:03.100 --> 00:29:04.080
using an integration

429
00:29:04.539 --> 00:29:08.799
somehow, and you can delay it ten days. And if they're still past due,

430
00:29:09.100 --> 00:29:12.399
then then you can suspend them or you can send additional emails,

431
00:29:13.035 --> 00:29:14.655
and things like that.

432
00:29:15.675 --> 00:29:19.615
So there isn't anything default built in, but probably with the webhooks,

433
00:29:21.435 --> 00:29:24.335
and or updating them using the the API,

434
00:29:25.195 --> 00:29:26.575
that those are some workarounds

435
00:29:27.280 --> 00:29:28.260
for you there.

436
00:29:28.560 --> 00:29:30.560
If you don't wanna suspend them right away,

437
00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:32.260
you can, of course,

438
00:29:33.280 --> 00:29:34.340
turn these off.

439
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:41.120
And what I recommend personally is if if you haven't already done so is get the billing reminders add on.

440
00:29:41.120 --> 00:29:44.245
Let me show you what that does. Just a moment here.

441
00:29:44.904 --> 00:29:46.985
Let's see. Billing email settings.

442
00:29:46.985 --> 00:29:51.804
When you have this add on here let me let me grab it from our from our BD site real quick.

443
00:29:55.945 --> 00:29:57.420
Let's go to add ons.

444
00:29:57.820 --> 00:30:01.280
This is one this is great for retention and and reducing,

445
00:30:03.340 --> 00:30:07.680
you know, cancellations because it gives them three times to pay their past due,

446
00:30:08.700 --> 00:30:12.904
past due invoices. And they could be past due for many reasons. Their credit card expired.

447
00:30:12.904 --> 00:30:16.825
They lost it. They changed their card. You know, things that that were kinda out of their control.

448
00:30:16.825 --> 00:30:19.325
I'm gonna share this link here in the chat

449
00:30:19.784 --> 00:30:20.605
for all.

450
00:30:20.985 --> 00:30:22.605
And what this does is

451
00:30:23.144 --> 00:30:25.164
when you have the billing reminders email,

452
00:30:26.159 --> 00:30:32.659
the most important thing is besides other emails that are sent out, if if they're past due, it sends them one reminder.

453
00:30:33.679 --> 00:30:37.779
And, you know, you could chain you could do one day after they're past due send the email.

454
00:30:38.275 --> 00:30:40.535
You can have another pass through reminder.

455
00:30:41.155 --> 00:30:42.775
You may wanna email the member,

456
00:30:43.155 --> 00:30:48.455
and maybe that goes out five days after their original due date. And you have a third one,

457
00:30:49.315 --> 00:30:50.880
you know, which goes out,

458
00:30:51.360 --> 00:30:56.500
you know, maybe seven days or ten days, just depending on how aggressive you wanna be with the reminder emails.

459
00:30:57.040 --> 00:31:03.060
And what's nice nice about these, let's actually you can edit the email templates, but they're already created for you.

460
00:31:03.520 --> 00:31:08.225
And they're they're pretty strong emails. Let's I mean, they're pretty powerful in there.

461
00:31:08.225 --> 00:31:11.265
So it says cancellation notice. We're unable to bill you.

462
00:31:11.265 --> 00:31:14.885
It provides them all the login information they need to go into their account.

463
00:31:16.544 --> 00:31:20.804
This is the the last one. It it's kinda like the scariest one. It says final notice,

464
00:31:21.360 --> 00:31:23.940
and it tell ask them to log in to their account,

465
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:25.620
and so on. So,

466
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:28.080
these billing reminder emails are super,

467
00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:28.900
effective.

468
00:31:29.120 --> 00:31:35.940
One in getting people to come back to your site and and complete their payment, especially if they actually do wanna be a part of your site.

469
00:31:36.400 --> 00:31:36.900
But

470
00:31:37.755 --> 00:31:42.175
so there isn't anything that will not make them inactive necessarily after,

471
00:31:42.715 --> 00:31:44.975
a specific time frame besides immediately.

472
00:31:45.515 --> 00:31:50.015
But these these billing reminder emails can be pretty effective and a good starting point there, Daryl.

473
00:31:50.155 --> 00:31:55.910
Good question there. Alright. Let's see here. Is there a way to put a word in the member

474
00:31:56.370 --> 00:31:56.870
profile

475
00:31:57.250 --> 00:31:58.470
URL structure?

476
00:31:58.770 --> 00:32:01.830
This is a great question. Let's see what options we have

477
00:32:02.370 --> 00:32:03.510
for that. So,

478
00:32:04.290 --> 00:32:12.445
when your members sign up and they get their profile, we notice that the URL to their profile, the the link to their profile is something like country, state,

479
00:32:12.985 --> 00:32:15.885
their top level category, and then their name.

480
00:32:16.665 --> 00:32:19.325
Let's see what options we would have here.

481
00:32:21.010 --> 00:32:21.510
Profile

482
00:32:22.770 --> 00:32:23.590
and URL.

483
00:32:25.330 --> 00:32:26.150
Okay. Great.

484
00:32:27.250 --> 00:32:33.165
So when you're creating the profile URL structure and let's actually look at a member profile real quick.

485
00:32:36.365 --> 00:32:39.505
Okay. Great. This is kind of from our test imports here.

486
00:32:39.885 --> 00:32:41.585
So we see here, country,

487
00:32:42.285 --> 00:32:47.220
state or city, I guess, their top level category, and then the name of the business.

488
00:32:47.220 --> 00:32:52.520
So if we come here and look at here, we have the country name, the city name, the top level category,

489
00:32:53.380 --> 00:32:55.400
and the member name.

490
00:32:55.860 --> 00:32:59.559
So if you're gonna add an additional there's nowhere to add an additional

491
00:32:59.940 --> 00:33:00.440
custom,

492
00:33:01.380 --> 00:33:02.685
keyword into here.

493
00:33:04.525 --> 00:33:11.825
You what you can do is on a per member basis let's let's actually look at this guy, Portugal restaurant edu.

494
00:33:12.765 --> 00:33:21.269
One thing you might wanna do is for your top level category URLs, you might wanna, you know, if it's restaurants, you could do restaurants hyphen and then that keyword that you want.

495
00:33:21.269 --> 00:33:28.090
So if you have the top level category in there, you can kinda mix in that special keyword into the top level category,

496
00:33:28.549 --> 00:33:33.275
as kinda like a a hacker loophole to get to to squeeze that keyword into there. So,

497
00:33:33.595 --> 00:33:35.695
you could come to all your member categories.

498
00:33:37.115 --> 00:33:41.275
Let let's just say you wanted lawyer for whatever reason at the end of all the URLs.

499
00:33:41.275 --> 00:33:44.415
You can come to your top level categories and just add hyphen,

500
00:33:44.809 --> 00:33:53.210
you know, lawyer or whatever the special keyword is, that's kinda separate from from everything else and just add it here to as the URL.

501
00:33:53.210 --> 00:33:56.429
So if you're squeezing the top level category, you can do it there.

502
00:33:56.650 --> 00:33:58.725
If you're doing it on a per member basis,

503
00:34:00.005 --> 00:34:02.985
for example, you just want to edit this member's URL,

504
00:34:03.525 --> 00:34:08.165
let's do a search. First of all, you can search members by their URL here in the, the page.

505
00:34:08.165 --> 00:34:11.789
So partial or full. So we'll just do this partial search here,

506
00:34:12.409 --> 00:34:14.190
and we should be able to find them.

507
00:34:15.289 --> 00:34:17.690
And there they are there. So what we could do is a quick edit.

508
00:34:17.690 --> 00:34:20.670
Now if we're just gonna do this this specific members,

509
00:34:22.489 --> 00:34:26.750
if we go to the advanced options from their their quick edit pop up here,

510
00:34:27.234 --> 00:34:29.974
you can actually customize the listing URL,

511
00:34:30.355 --> 00:34:34.915
and you can just change it to whatever you want. You can just do JSON if you want.

512
00:34:34.915 --> 00:34:36.935
So you can really give them, like, a short

513
00:34:37.395 --> 00:34:40.034
URL, which is, like, kinda like a cool way for your site.

514
00:34:40.034 --> 00:34:44.670
Like, they're the only person on your site who's, you know, your site forward slash Jason.

515
00:34:44.810 --> 00:34:46.910
Or you could just do, you know, special keyword,

516
00:34:48.010 --> 00:34:49.870
forward slash special keyword,

517
00:34:50.410 --> 00:34:51.949
and you can fully customize,

518
00:34:52.410 --> 00:34:55.230
the URL of this guy. Let's actually do that together.

519
00:34:56.964 --> 00:35:00.405
Alright. Now it automatically creates a three zero one redirect, I think.

520
00:35:00.405 --> 00:35:02.425
So let's check this page here.

521
00:35:03.045 --> 00:35:07.045
There we go. So now this guy's you is special keyword special keyword. It's a one off.

522
00:35:07.045 --> 00:35:08.585
It's only for this profile,

523
00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:11.940
but that is you do have the ability to do it that way. So,

524
00:35:12.319 --> 00:35:15.940
there's no direct way. Again, you can slip it into the top level categories,

525
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:18.079
or you can edit them one off.

526
00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:23.535
And if you made a boo boo, you can always come back to the advanced options and do fetch from SEO template.

527
00:35:23.535 --> 00:35:25.635
It's going to get the original one,

528
00:35:26.415 --> 00:35:29.135
and then you can resort, revert it back.

529
00:35:29.135 --> 00:35:32.035
See if it creates a three zero one redirect in this case too.

530
00:35:32.975 --> 00:35:36.195
Nope. It didn't do that, but that's okay. It's a good note.

531
00:35:37.530 --> 00:35:40.010
Okay. So we're back to normal here. So good question there.

532
00:35:40.010 --> 00:35:43.210
Hopefully, there's some, some tips there for to guide you. Okay.

533
00:35:43.210 --> 00:35:46.030
We got kind of great questions lined up here.

534
00:35:46.170 --> 00:35:51.055
I am empowered is asking, what would I use to create a private community for members?

535
00:35:51.055 --> 00:35:53.455
I almost want a place to post updates.

536
00:35:53.455 --> 00:35:56.895
I feel like you've spoken about it before, but I can't think of what it was called.

537
00:35:56.895 --> 00:35:57.955
Shall I raise a ticket?

538
00:35:58.255 --> 00:36:00.655
You can definitely ask the support team if you like.

539
00:36:00.655 --> 00:36:04.835
I'll share with you some, some videos that we did in the past.

540
00:36:05.310 --> 00:36:08.690
Let's go back to that Brilliant Directories website here to our blog.

541
00:36:09.950 --> 00:36:10.450
And

542
00:36:11.070 --> 00:36:12.510
first, the first thing is,

543
00:36:13.470 --> 00:36:19.735
you know, if you want your members to like post updates, kind of like kind of like Facebook or Twitter, you can kinda use the blog feature.

544
00:36:20.675 --> 00:36:23.175
You know, maybe you wanna get rid of the

545
00:36:23.795 --> 00:36:26.535
the, all you want is a title and a photo.

546
00:36:26.595 --> 00:36:33.555
So that way they're just posting, you know, just a short short update and then the image if they wanna add an image and not a full article.

547
00:36:33.555 --> 00:36:36.190
So you can kinda remove that article input, but,

548
00:36:36.650 --> 00:36:38.190
we do have a video here.

549
00:36:38.970 --> 00:36:40.349
Let me search for community.

550
00:36:42.890 --> 00:36:44.970
And I know David and I did a

551
00:36:47.130 --> 00:36:47.975
let's see

552
00:36:50.515 --> 00:36:55.635
here. Making your new community here we go. Create a community message board. So,

553
00:36:55.955 --> 00:36:59.015
here it is. I'm gonna share this one here because this is a video.

554
00:36:59.795 --> 00:37:05.060
And how long is this one? It's about fifteen, twenty minutes long. Create a community message board.

555
00:37:05.060 --> 00:37:08.760
I'm gonna share this in the chat here. It's worth a watch there.

556
00:37:09.220 --> 00:37:13.220
And, of course, if you're creating a private community, I'm gonna share one more video.

557
00:37:13.220 --> 00:37:14.680
You can make those pages

558
00:37:15.060 --> 00:37:19.115
protected. You could protect them, with the members only plug in. So,

559
00:37:19.895 --> 00:37:21.115
let's actually do

560
00:37:21.655 --> 00:37:22.955
let me search for that.

561
00:37:23.255 --> 00:37:26.215
Also great video to watch is this members only,

562
00:37:26.535 --> 00:37:29.755
content here. Private access, create a members only website.

563
00:37:30.330 --> 00:37:37.950
Basically, it shows you how you have to require members to register or be of a certain membership level to access,

564
00:37:38.730 --> 00:37:45.870
either certain web pages on your site or certain sections on your site like the community section, the community forum section.

565
00:37:46.595 --> 00:37:47.974
So great question there.

566
00:37:48.595 --> 00:37:52.755
Okay. We got a good question here from Prakash, Jason from BD.

567
00:37:52.755 --> 00:38:02.010
Is it possible to set the profile image of the member business to round or rectangle since some businesses might have round logos and some have rectangle size?

568
00:38:02.330 --> 00:38:04.810
Support team told me it should be customized. Okay.

569
00:38:04.810 --> 00:38:10.410
So with logos, what I would recommend doing is this to be honest, what you want on your site is,

570
00:38:10.810 --> 00:38:11.310
uniformity.

571
00:38:11.770 --> 00:38:14.270
Let me get rid of these this banner here.

572
00:38:16.325 --> 00:38:20.185
If you if if uniformity is important on your site,

573
00:38:20.885 --> 00:38:24.025
what I would recommend is is is this actually.

574
00:38:25.285 --> 00:38:27.210
Let's go to Facebook together real quick.

575
00:38:29.290 --> 00:38:31.310
Great. Let's go to the brilliant directories

576
00:38:33.290 --> 00:38:35.710
page here. Well, let's look at all of these here,

577
00:38:36.010 --> 00:38:37.390
these shortcuts here.

578
00:38:37.849 --> 00:38:42.670
What do we see? They're they're forcing they're forcing it that it's a square.

579
00:38:42.975 --> 00:38:44.675
Right? And it's up to the business

580
00:38:45.295 --> 00:38:48.115
to have a version or to figure out how to squeeze

581
00:38:48.495 --> 00:38:49.795
their logo into

582
00:38:50.335 --> 00:38:52.995
the space that the platform has provided

583
00:38:53.375 --> 00:38:56.595
for them. LinkedIn does the exact same thing, same thing

584
00:38:57.135 --> 00:38:58.275
with Twitter.

585
00:38:59.319 --> 00:39:06.680
So and all businesses have social media for the most part, and they're they're all uploading the same thing with logos, square things.

586
00:39:06.680 --> 00:39:07.180
So

587
00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:11.435
if being uniform is is important to you, my recommendation

588
00:39:12.055 --> 00:39:13.675
for all the membership plans

589
00:39:14.375 --> 00:39:19.835
is get rid of the you know, we added this a long time ago. Just it was it was for a reason because,

590
00:39:20.815 --> 00:39:22.315
you know, maybe the

591
00:39:23.010 --> 00:39:23.490
the,

592
00:39:23.970 --> 00:39:27.970
the profile photo the profile represented like an attorney at a law firm.

593
00:39:27.970 --> 00:39:36.690
So they would upload their picture, but then in their overview section, they can add the logo of that law firm down there, and that could be of any sizes.

594
00:39:36.690 --> 00:39:41.365
But if these are as the profile image, what I would recommend is

595
00:39:42.545 --> 00:39:47.285
disable disable the logo one and just have the profile photo one.

596
00:39:47.665 --> 00:39:52.465
And with this one, I would recommend having it squared. I'm gonna show you this now.

597
00:39:52.465 --> 00:40:03.200
So my recommendation is don't enable both of these, you know, unless it's, you know, like I said, it's it's a lawyer from a law firm, and they wanna also show the logo of that law firm, which could be horizontal.

598
00:40:03.260 --> 00:40:08.645
There's no size really involved with with the logo, but the profile is what's what's important.

599
00:40:09.025 --> 00:40:13.025
But my recommendation is just have one. It also simplifies things a whole lot.

600
00:40:13.265 --> 00:40:14.945
You know, users come to these platforms.

601
00:40:14.945 --> 00:40:19.925
They're just uploading one profile photo that represents themselves or their business.

602
00:40:20.829 --> 00:40:25.490
But if you're gonna do this, and the reason I say do the profile photo upload one is,

603
00:40:25.869 --> 00:40:29.490
if we come here to the Developer Hub and go to image settings,

604
00:40:32.715 --> 00:40:39.115
With the profile photo, you can choose if you want one to one, which is square, or three three to four, which creates a, like, a,

605
00:40:40.035 --> 00:40:40.535
a

606
00:40:40.955 --> 00:40:41.535
a portrait,

607
00:40:42.315 --> 00:40:42.975
a vertical

608
00:40:43.515 --> 00:40:44.015
rectangle.

609
00:40:44.730 --> 00:40:49.150
But I would do the one to one. And also what I would do in your design settings,

610
00:40:50.170 --> 00:40:52.890
also set it to 400 to 400, gives it the max.

611
00:40:52.890 --> 00:40:55.869
Even though it's gonna be smaller, that creates a nice crisp image.

612
00:40:56.410 --> 00:40:58.670
In your design settings under member profiles,

613
00:40:59.555 --> 00:41:01.015
profile photo style,

614
00:41:01.555 --> 00:41:04.855
standard, that's the soft rounded corners, kind of what we saw

615
00:41:05.235 --> 00:41:06.535
on Facebook here,

616
00:41:06.995 --> 00:41:08.435
over here, the soft rounded corner.

617
00:41:08.435 --> 00:41:14.215
We uploaded a round image that's why you see that, but, these soft round corners are automatically created.

618
00:41:14.675 --> 00:41:16.670
Let's see if I could find my place here.

619
00:41:17.050 --> 00:41:17.550
Nope.

620
00:41:18.250 --> 00:41:19.869
K. We're gonna close some tabs.

621
00:41:21.770 --> 00:41:23.609
Great. Or you could do the circle.

622
00:41:23.609 --> 00:41:27.390
So when it's a square image, the one to one ratio, and it's a circle,

623
00:41:27.924 --> 00:41:31.684
you're gonna get and I and I like it. You're gonna get all the profile photos like this.

624
00:41:31.684 --> 00:41:33.065
It's a nice modern touch,

625
00:41:33.525 --> 00:41:34.664
and it's very uniform,

626
00:41:35.204 --> 00:41:38.184
for creating a very uniform look for,

627
00:41:38.565 --> 00:41:39.285
the website.

628
00:41:39.285 --> 00:41:47.080
So I know that we wanna give our members as much as possible, but as the website owner, we want things to look uniform and pretty, and also simple.

629
00:41:47.460 --> 00:41:51.000
So, again, my recommendation is perhaps cut out that logo upload.

630
00:41:51.060 --> 00:41:54.280
Just stick with the profile photo upload. Make it simple for everyone,

631
00:41:54.984 --> 00:42:00.045
especially if you're if you want that continuity of of what the images look like throughout your site.

632
00:42:00.105 --> 00:42:04.505
Alright. We got another question here. Can members post their own recurring event?

633
00:42:04.505 --> 00:42:08.960
And if so, how is it displayed on their profile or website calendar? A good question.

634
00:42:09.140 --> 00:42:14.240
I'll just give you a short answer here. There is an add on. It allow it allows members to have,

635
00:42:15.180 --> 00:42:17.840
post recurring events, auto recurring events.

636
00:42:18.300 --> 00:42:19.040
Now having

637
00:42:19.340 --> 00:42:24.395
the ability to publish recurring events can be a privilege, and it could be,

638
00:42:24.935 --> 00:42:30.055
a reason to upgrade to a higher tiered plan on your site. I just shared that there.

639
00:42:30.055 --> 00:42:31.755
I think it went through. There we go.

640
00:42:32.135 --> 00:42:33.995
So, yeah, I would check this out here.

641
00:42:34.775 --> 00:42:37.515
And the recurring event options are every day,

642
00:42:37.990 --> 00:42:42.890
every seven days, basically weekly from the date that it starts, every two weeks, or,

643
00:42:43.510 --> 00:42:43.910
every,

644
00:42:44.390 --> 00:42:45.130
three weeks.

645
00:42:46.150 --> 00:42:48.710
It's pretty simple add on, but, it kinda makes,

646
00:42:49.110 --> 00:42:54.545
makes it work, like that. Not too not too complicated and pretty simple there. K. Great question.

647
00:42:54.925 --> 00:42:57.005
Here we go. I like this question here.

648
00:42:57.005 --> 00:43:02.385
Best practice, create a redirect for a member profile URL not to lose the indexed

649
00:43:02.910 --> 00:43:03.630
URL link.

650
00:43:03.630 --> 00:43:15.309
So a good news is, for most of the actions, if your the member's profile URL is changing, for example, when they change their first name, last name, or company name, which are part, the system will automatically create that redirect.

651
00:43:15.309 --> 00:43:17.329
If you're coming from an another platform

652
00:43:17.705 --> 00:43:29.465
and you're moving to Brilliant Directories and some of your members on your on your older platform that you're migrating from have a URL structure that's different than your Brilliant Directories one, the first thing I like to do is go to Google Analytics.

653
00:43:29.465 --> 00:43:32.840
Make sure you have Google Analytics connected to your sites at all times.

654
00:43:32.900 --> 00:43:41.560
And what you wanna do is export, you know, your top 100 or 200 pages that are receiving traffic to your site, and you wanna make sure that after the migration,

655
00:43:41.860 --> 00:43:42.680
those URLs

656
00:43:42.980 --> 00:43:49.725
are either online as they were before or you've set up proper redirects to the new pages that correspond to the older pages.

657
00:43:50.185 --> 00:43:55.065
Same the same thing can be done with your member profile URLs if you're migrating from another platform.

658
00:43:55.065 --> 00:44:00.540
When you import them to your b d site, you can actually import them with the custom URL you want them to have.

659
00:44:00.620 --> 00:44:08.060
So it'll be an exact match one to one from the older site to the new Brilliant Directory site when you're importing them to your site.

660
00:44:08.060 --> 00:44:10.620
If you have any more specific questions about that, let us know.

661
00:44:10.620 --> 00:44:17.805
But, basically, you wanna make sure that if you're redirecting, always check the older URL and make sure it's not going to an error page, a four zero four page.

662
00:44:17.805 --> 00:44:22.705
Make sure it is going to a proper destination URL. Those are some great suggestions.

663
00:44:22.765 --> 00:44:33.290
Just to add some, additional context that Isaac was asking about that with regard to members who may have canceled or closed their accounts so their profile or their listing is no longer online.

664
00:44:33.430 --> 00:44:36.470
What you can do is you can set up a custom four zero four page.

665
00:44:36.470 --> 00:44:39.770
I think we covered that in one of the tips of the week, David. So,

666
00:44:40.390 --> 00:44:42.490
if those URLs are now offline,

667
00:44:43.030 --> 00:44:46.654
let's actually go to the BD blog together. This is actually a great topic here.

668
00:44:47.194 --> 00:44:51.535
This is also a fun fun tip of the week we did, David. I I remember this one.

669
00:44:51.994 --> 00:44:54.015
Mastering four zero four pages. So,

670
00:44:54.555 --> 00:45:00.030
yeah, if if you want to delete peep if you're deleting people from your site, you can manually create

671
00:45:01.290 --> 00:45:02.410
a redirect page.

672
00:45:02.730 --> 00:45:08.565
But, of course, this video explains it all. For pages that are no longer available on your site,

673
00:45:09.045 --> 00:45:14.984
you can direct people to, like, your blog or to a join page instead of sending them to an error page.

674
00:45:15.045 --> 00:45:16.265
You can make it fun,

675
00:45:17.045 --> 00:45:23.785
and also you can really, take advantage of older pages that no longer exist and turning them into

676
00:45:24.240 --> 00:45:26.420
landing pages that actually convert into,

677
00:45:26.960 --> 00:45:30.980
driving visitors to search your site or new prospective members to,

678
00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:35.360
potentially join your site. So, Isaac, I would recommend watching this video here.

679
00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:39.045
Let's see how long it is. This is, again, about fifteen minutes long.

680
00:45:39.285 --> 00:45:44.505
Good watch here and packed with some good ideas, and insights. Thanks for that clarification, David.

681
00:45:44.645 --> 00:45:46.325
Alright. Here was a good one here.

682
00:45:46.325 --> 00:45:52.510
Since Como App Builder and many others, I have to say, are no more, what system are people having

683
00:45:52.810 --> 00:45:56.750
the most success with for turning their site into a native app.

684
00:45:56.890 --> 00:46:00.910
Native app is a double edged sword, I think, these days, for several reasons.

685
00:46:01.450 --> 00:46:12.425
One is if your app includes, you know, signing up as a member as well, there's more hurdles to go through to get published in the the Apple Store and the and the Google Store because of the payment aspect of it.

686
00:46:12.425 --> 00:46:16.680
I think, Apple also takes about 30% if I'm correct. I'm not sure about that.

687
00:46:16.680 --> 00:46:19.660
The second thing is people could actually save your website

688
00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:21.800
to their home screen now.

689
00:46:21.800 --> 00:46:30.795
So you can kinda skip the whole native app publishing and just teach people with a video how to save your site to their home screen with a thirty second video.

690
00:46:30.795 --> 00:46:33.995
You can include it in your marketing. You can share it every now and then.

691
00:46:33.995 --> 00:46:35.835
And your BD site is mobile friendly.

692
00:46:35.835 --> 00:46:41.515
So when they click that when they go to your site on their mobile phone, they have the full functionality of your site.

693
00:46:41.515 --> 00:46:47.850
Everything looks correct in the right place, and as it should, and there's no additional app development needed.

694
00:46:47.850 --> 00:46:55.130
Now with that said, if you are looking for native app builders, the other thing people do is native app is a tricky word there.

695
00:46:55.130 --> 00:47:05.805
Most people do with their BD site is you'll get an app builder and what you do is you're just rendering your BD site as it is, the mobile friendly version inside of the app.

696
00:47:05.805 --> 00:47:11.245
So if you look for look at AppyPie, let's actually do this together just as a quick example.

697
00:47:11.245 --> 00:47:12.865
I don't know how to spell it, AppyPie

698
00:47:13.700 --> 00:47:14.200
WebView.

699
00:47:15.779 --> 00:47:19.000
Okay. Great. And let's actually look at another one. It's GoodBarber

700
00:47:20.180 --> 00:47:20.680
WebView.

701
00:47:22.260 --> 00:47:24.760
And what you do with these,

702
00:47:25.460 --> 00:47:26.440
WebView sections,

703
00:47:27.055 --> 00:47:29.795
you basically define the URL, and that URL

704
00:47:30.415 --> 00:47:35.155
will load inside of the app. You're not really designing a native app from scratch.

705
00:47:36.335 --> 00:47:38.355
Let's go here to web view.

706
00:47:38.895 --> 00:47:42.180
How to add a website feature to your app. This is what I'm referring to.

707
00:47:42.420 --> 00:47:45.300
I'm gonna share these for you, these two links here. You can continue.

708
00:47:45.300 --> 00:47:49.400
There's a lot of app builders out there. Just these are the two off the top of my head.

709
00:47:49.940 --> 00:47:50.440
And

710
00:47:51.700 --> 00:47:53.540
if you feel that you need an app,

711
00:47:54.020 --> 00:47:55.619
again, the web view is the quickest way.

712
00:47:55.619 --> 00:47:59.785
It loads just loads your BD site, the URL, as it is inside the app.

713
00:48:00.085 --> 00:48:02.905
If you're talking native app, you're talking about

714
00:48:03.924 --> 00:48:05.625
totally doing the design

715
00:48:06.164 --> 00:48:08.825
from scratch, top to bottom with a,

716
00:48:09.444 --> 00:48:14.050
app development and designer company. You're talking about several months of work,

717
00:48:14.510 --> 00:48:15.570
tying in your,

718
00:48:16.110 --> 00:48:16.850
your data.

719
00:48:18.110 --> 00:48:19.250
So, again, just,

720
00:48:20.670 --> 00:48:25.465
when you say app, there are a few workarounds, which I think are are better

721
00:48:26.005 --> 00:48:28.665
time wise and cost savings wise.

722
00:48:29.605 --> 00:48:30.505
And then also

723
00:48:31.205 --> 00:48:39.305
ask you you might wanna, you know, survey your community and see who wants an app or test out the how to save your site, to their home screen

724
00:48:39.789 --> 00:48:40.609
as an option,

725
00:48:40.910 --> 00:48:43.089
just educating that and see how that goes,

726
00:48:43.630 --> 00:48:48.109
as well. So, hopefully, that gives you a little bit more guidance about the native app thing.

727
00:48:48.109 --> 00:48:49.470
It get does get a little murky.

728
00:48:49.470 --> 00:48:54.495
They are they are a little complicated, no matter how simple, people might advertise them to be.

729
00:48:54.575 --> 00:48:58.095
So I just wanna share that with you there. Alright. Let's see here.

730
00:48:58.335 --> 00:49:02.655
David, thank you for for starring these questions there. Alright. Let's see.

731
00:49:02.975 --> 00:49:06.895
We have a question here. Let's a totally familiar precautions asking.

732
00:49:06.895 --> 00:49:11.980
Does BD integrate with boot dot space? It was built in the make engine,

733
00:49:12.280 --> 00:49:15.740
does have the webhooks module, though. Let's look at boost

734
00:49:16.040 --> 00:49:16.540
space.

735
00:49:18.600 --> 00:49:23.020
Always happy to learn new things here. Boost dot space. Okay.

736
00:49:23.815 --> 00:49:25.595
Let's go to boost dot space.

737
00:49:28.375 --> 00:49:31.035
Or your data and AI become

738
00:49:31.735 --> 00:49:34.075
run best friends. That's sweet. Okay.

739
00:49:34.695 --> 00:49:37.435
And you're saying go to forward slash product.

740
00:49:41.760 --> 00:49:44.579
I think I have an answer to to what you're looking

741
00:49:46.560 --> 00:49:48.740
for. Perfect. You're saying that they have

742
00:49:49.040 --> 00:49:50.339
a webhook module.

743
00:49:50.720 --> 00:49:54.815
Excellent. I love to hear that. So what we wanna do, you can do this in Pabbly.

744
00:49:55.115 --> 00:49:56.575
You can do it in Integrately.

745
00:49:56.955 --> 00:49:58.075
You can do it,

746
00:49:59.275 --> 00:50:03.215
let's actually go to the Brilliant Directories website. I'm gonna show you what you can do,

747
00:50:03.755 --> 00:50:06.895
with this because it looks like it's creating content for your site.

748
00:50:07.290 --> 00:50:10.590
And, if you're creating content, you can have it

749
00:50:11.050 --> 00:50:13.630
posted to your Brilliant Directories site.

750
00:50:14.010 --> 00:50:14.510
So

751
00:50:14.890 --> 00:50:16.010
I'm gonna share this link.

752
00:50:16.010 --> 00:50:21.230
These are these are where Brilliant Directories integrates with Zapier, Pabbly, Integrately, Flowmatic,

753
00:50:22.065 --> 00:50:26.325
active pieces, sure triggers. I think there's a couple more new ones. These are kinda popping up,

754
00:50:28.305 --> 00:50:30.005
like, left and right here.

755
00:50:30.145 --> 00:50:36.964
But if you go to any one of these, what you wanna do and I'll just search webhook to brilliant directories,

756
00:50:37.760 --> 00:50:40.339
post, and I'll just search Zapier in this example.

757
00:50:43.200 --> 00:50:46.099
Here we go. Connect Brilliant Directories and webhooks.

758
00:50:46.400 --> 00:50:51.460
Cool. So actually, the trigger would be the webhook. This would be flip flipped around here.

759
00:50:54.145 --> 00:50:55.045
So I think

760
00:50:55.905 --> 00:50:59.045
let's switch these around here. I think just do with the URL.

761
00:51:00.305 --> 00:51:01.605
Let's see if that works.

762
00:51:02.145 --> 00:51:02.805
We can

763
00:51:03.665 --> 00:51:05.525
hack the URL structure there.

764
00:51:05.905 --> 00:51:08.750
There we go. So what you do is choose the trigger,

765
00:51:09.130 --> 00:51:09.870
the webhook,

766
00:51:10.810 --> 00:51:14.750
and and then what you wanna do in b v is, you know, create a

767
00:51:15.370 --> 00:51:16.110
a post.

768
00:51:16.890 --> 00:51:17.390
So

769
00:51:19.765 --> 00:51:22.565
so with Boost Space, you can actually send the webhook out.

770
00:51:22.565 --> 00:51:25.845
That'll be the trigger, and then you can create a post, in BD.

771
00:51:25.845 --> 00:51:28.665
So let's see what the cloud based with built in integration platform.

772
00:51:29.045 --> 00:51:33.225
So, yeah, it translates your data. It does updates. Basically, it's content,

773
00:51:33.765 --> 00:51:34.805
it's content stuff.

774
00:51:34.805 --> 00:51:40.599
So, yeah, you can do the webhook, and then you can post or create what you need to in your Brilliant Directories website.

775
00:51:40.900 --> 00:51:45.700
Thank you for sharing that. Good stuff there. Alright. We got one more from Salinas.

776
00:51:45.700 --> 00:51:47.235
Thank you for all the questions today.

777
00:51:47.315 --> 00:51:52.435
On the claim listings, is there a way to display the city and state in the list view? So,

778
00:51:52.835 --> 00:51:54.535
when you say list view,

779
00:51:56.755 --> 00:51:59.415
here is a site, Edo Sushi.

780
00:52:01.260 --> 00:52:02.720
Let's actually log in,

781
00:52:03.500 --> 00:52:07.600
as them. Let's find out what their let's let's turn it into a claim listing real quick.

782
00:52:08.060 --> 00:52:12.640
So their membership plan one. Great. Let's go to our membership plan.

783
00:52:14.155 --> 00:52:16.174
And I'm gonna do this with you, Salinas,

784
00:52:16.954 --> 00:52:19.055
and turn them into a claim listing.

785
00:52:19.915 --> 00:52:21.295
Membership plan one.

786
00:52:24.075 --> 00:52:27.870
Okay. It's claimable listing now. Let's take a look at it.

787
00:52:32.810 --> 00:52:34.490
So the city and state,

788
00:52:35.050 --> 00:52:36.350
are are here.

789
00:52:37.210 --> 00:52:40.745
The only way it says, you know, are you EDC? You should claim this listing.

790
00:52:40.745 --> 00:52:42.925
So unless I'm not understanding it, the only

791
00:52:43.385 --> 00:52:53.550
way the address wouldn't be shown here is if you went to the profile page tab for that membership level, and you have show street address turned off.

792
00:52:54.110 --> 00:52:58.210
So if you have this turned off, let's let's do that. It's not going to show

793
00:53:03.070 --> 00:53:04.770
their city and state here.

794
00:53:06.585 --> 00:53:09.945
So that's I'm trying to trying to, dissect what you're saying here.

795
00:53:09.945 --> 00:53:13.145
So that's that's what I'm I'm guessing is is what you're referring to there.

796
00:53:13.145 --> 00:53:16.045
So hopefully that does provide you with some guidance.

797
00:53:16.505 --> 00:53:18.925
Okay. Great. Yeah. So Lena's saying, can I unmute,

798
00:53:19.910 --> 00:53:23.130
to explain? Let's let's do that. We're gonna invite you to the studio.

799
00:53:23.510 --> 00:53:24.010
Alright.

800
00:53:26.310 --> 00:53:31.050
Isaac is saying something here. He's saying, I own an app builder that does web apps checkout.

801
00:53:31.750 --> 00:53:33.435
No no cap caps.

802
00:53:34.315 --> 00:53:36.895
No cap caps. Capi caps. There we go.

803
00:53:37.595 --> 00:53:38.415
No cap,

804
00:53:39.275 --> 00:53:39.775
capapaps.

805
00:53:40.475 --> 00:53:40.975
Anyways,

806
00:53:41.275 --> 00:53:44.095
there's a Isaac, your little plug there for your app builder.

807
00:53:44.555 --> 00:53:47.300
Thank you for sharing that as well. Alright, Salinas.

808
00:53:47.300 --> 00:53:49.860
We'll give you another second here to try to join in.

809
00:53:49.860 --> 00:53:54.680
And while we're waiting, some things that are coming soon that I'm also excited about for forgot to share.

810
00:53:54.740 --> 00:53:57.880
We do have some WordPress plugins being developed.

811
00:53:58.340 --> 00:54:00.585
They're gonna cover different things. The

812
00:54:01.065 --> 00:54:05.484
really, the the one that's a little further down the line is the being able to

813
00:54:05.945 --> 00:54:10.025
display or load your Brilliant Directories site on an existing WordPress site.

814
00:54:10.025 --> 00:54:15.030
You would define the forward slash page that you want your BD site to load on.

815
00:54:15.030 --> 00:54:20.890
But some other add ons that were create plugins, excuse me, that we're creating for WordPress,

816
00:54:21.910 --> 00:54:24.410
one of them coming it's probably gonna be released first.

817
00:54:25.155 --> 00:54:26.695
I I don't I don't know how much,

818
00:54:27.075 --> 00:54:30.295
use it's gonna get, but we have a lot of people using WooCommerce,

819
00:54:31.075 --> 00:54:34.295
as a as a ecommerce website with their WordPress plugin.

820
00:54:34.675 --> 00:54:42.740
And the request we got is that they want when a customer is added or or signs up to their WooCommerce site or makes a purchase, they want them added,

821
00:54:43.360 --> 00:54:48.660
to their Brilliant directory site. So the methodology here is you just connect your BD API.

822
00:54:49.760 --> 00:54:51.615
There's some sync settings here.

823
00:54:52.015 --> 00:54:55.475
If you want only registered or guest checkouts to be added.

824
00:54:56.175 --> 00:54:57.795
And then you can choose,

825
00:54:58.175 --> 00:55:05.235
when the member's created, what membership plan ID they're gonna be, if they're active or inactive members on your BD site,

826
00:55:05.950 --> 00:55:09.650
sending the welcome email and also assigning some member tabs,

827
00:55:10.350 --> 00:55:10.850
tags.

828
00:55:11.310 --> 00:55:15.090
It's very simple to start with, but just creating a beachhead for future

829
00:55:15.550 --> 00:55:16.610
WordPress plugins.

830
00:55:16.990 --> 00:55:19.570
The one we're gonna follow-up with after this WooCommerce

831
00:55:19.875 --> 00:55:21.095
sync one is actually,

832
00:55:22.115 --> 00:55:25.075
is gonna work with, a number of WordPress forms.

833
00:55:25.075 --> 00:55:30.135
So there's Contact Form seven, WordPress forms, I think Ninja Forms, Gravity Forms.

834
00:55:30.435 --> 00:55:33.540
And what if you're using those forms on your WordPress site,

835
00:55:34.260 --> 00:55:38.360
when somebody fills out a form, you'll be able to sync that data

836
00:55:38.980 --> 00:55:44.200
and send it to your Brilliant Directory site. So, effectively, you'll be able to create a record

837
00:55:44.580 --> 00:55:48.285
on your Brilliant Directory site when someone fills out one of your WordPress forms.

838
00:55:48.285 --> 00:55:49.744
This will be great for leads.

839
00:55:50.204 --> 00:55:53.424
If you have lots of website properties that are using WordPress,

840
00:55:53.724 --> 00:55:59.265
you can funnel all those leads into your Brilliant Directories site from your WordPress properties,

841
00:55:59.885 --> 00:56:03.345
and then, of course, everything will work as normal. So,

842
00:56:04.140 --> 00:56:06.960
these are just some updates coming for 2025.

843
00:56:07.500 --> 00:56:11.839
I'm anticipating this WooCommerce one. Our goal is the end of this February,

844
00:56:12.460 --> 00:56:15.520
and probably the forms one will be at the March.

845
00:56:15.945 --> 00:56:20.925
And the the big one that that's a little bit more complicated is supporting the hosting on a

846
00:56:21.305 --> 00:56:23.405
dedicated page on your WordPress site.

847
00:56:23.705 --> 00:56:28.890
That'll be really exciting. So if you have an existing site, you don't need a separate domain name.

848
00:56:29.049 --> 00:56:33.150
You can just add your your Brilliant Directories site to load on an existing

849
00:56:33.450 --> 00:56:34.510
page of your,

850
00:56:35.210 --> 00:56:39.529
WordPress site. But okay. We got Salinas here. Am I pronouncing your name correctly?

851
00:56:39.529 --> 00:56:43.450
I apologize if I wasn't. No. You're you're pronouncing it. Yep. Okay. Great.

852
00:56:43.450 --> 00:56:48.244
So let me bring back, your question that you had here. Sure. So I lost the question, actually.

853
00:56:48.244 --> 00:56:53.445
But you were asking about showing the city or state on the list view. Can I show my screen? Sure.

854
00:56:53.445 --> 00:56:54.585
You can show your screen.

855
00:56:54.885 --> 00:56:57.869
So this is, like, these are the ones I've imported.

856
00:56:57.930 --> 00:57:02.410
You know how you have that feature where you get credits and you can import listings? Yeah. Yes.

857
00:57:02.410 --> 00:57:04.970
So I did that. And so these aren't claim listings.

858
00:57:04.970 --> 00:57:08.670
These are just the listings that came through, but it has, like, this little

859
00:57:09.210 --> 00:57:12.195
I don't know what that icon is, and it says where it's at.

860
00:57:12.435 --> 00:57:15.815
But these are the listings that I'm importing.

861
00:57:17.075 --> 00:57:17.575
Like,

862
00:57:17.955 --> 00:57:19.735
they don't have these are claim listings.

863
00:57:20.435 --> 00:57:21.975
So they don't have the

864
00:57:23.475 --> 00:57:27.090
they have it here, but they don't have it on a list view like the other ones do.

865
00:57:27.570 --> 00:57:30.690
What's the let's let's check it out together. I think we can fix that on your site.

866
00:57:30.690 --> 00:57:31.910
What's the name of your site?

867
00:57:32.850 --> 00:57:34.390
Thrive Together Homeschool.

868
00:57:35.890 --> 00:57:36.390
Okay.

869
00:57:38.050 --> 00:57:42.210
Do you wanna keep sharing or stop sharing? Or you could stop. I'll I'll share now.

870
00:57:42.610 --> 00:57:45.595
Let's let me get you up here, and let's go to your site.

871
00:57:45.595 --> 00:57:48.494
Let's see if we can figure out what's happening there together.

872
00:57:48.795 --> 00:57:52.335
Thank you for sharing that. That that illustrated a bit better for us here.

873
00:57:52.954 --> 00:57:55.135
Okay. Let me go to one of your search pages.

874
00:57:57.050 --> 00:58:02.350
And okay. Like this 18 Factory Street. Let's check out what's going on here.

875
00:58:03.450 --> 00:58:04.990
Now we go to search members.

876
00:58:06.250 --> 00:58:08.510
Yeah. I might have an idea what's going on here.

877
00:58:08.890 --> 00:58:10.350
Hopefully, that's the case.

878
00:58:10.650 --> 00:58:11.150
Okay.

879
00:58:13.415 --> 00:58:18.695
Alright. Looks like they all have they're all geocoded and synced with Google Maps.

880
00:58:18.695 --> 00:58:20.955
It needs that for the longitude and latitude.

881
00:58:21.575 --> 00:58:22.615
Let's go to the,

882
00:58:25.850 --> 00:58:29.150
the setting here. Let me I'm trying to think while I'm doing this.

883
00:58:30.570 --> 00:58:35.370
Show shoot. Okay. You see this Oh. This looks like it's not set to yes or no.

884
00:58:35.370 --> 00:58:38.025
It might not be your fault, but let me just set it to yes,

885
00:58:38.825 --> 00:58:41.885
because it seemed that you cloned this from another membership plan?

886
00:58:42.744 --> 00:58:44.845
I'm waiting. I can't You may I can't that's

887
00:58:45.545 --> 00:58:46.765
that's our fault.

888
00:58:47.785 --> 00:58:50.045
There are there there's a known issue.

889
00:58:51.420 --> 00:58:53.599
This is good that I did this. So

890
00:58:54.140 --> 00:58:55.680
show street address,

891
00:58:57.180 --> 00:58:57.680
value

892
00:58:58.940 --> 00:58:59.760
not cloned,

893
00:59:00.859 --> 00:59:01.920
when cloning

894
00:59:02.940 --> 00:59:07.685
membership plan. Okay. That's definitely something we wanna fix. So let's set this to yes now,

895
00:59:08.065 --> 00:59:11.525
and let's go back to that search results page, which is here.

896
00:59:13.744 --> 00:59:15.360
I'm hoping that's the issue. There we go.

897
00:59:15.680 --> 00:59:19.840
So that was just set to, like, no value, but now it's set to show show it.

898
00:59:19.840 --> 00:59:21.860
So you're seeing the attributes. Better.

899
00:59:22.160 --> 00:59:30.165
And then I did I put the code in that you gave to someone else for the mobiles that the little box this little info box shows up.

900
00:59:30.245 --> 00:59:34.105
Yeah. When I put it in, it made it go across the whole,

901
00:59:36.725 --> 00:59:41.225
it did the mobile looked good, but then on the desktop, it stretched that box out.

902
00:59:41.605 --> 00:59:44.975
Oh, you know, I didn't I didn't give the full code. I need to

903
00:59:45.750 --> 00:59:50.150
let me let me find what I just sent and let me send no. Good. Good. Good that you said that.

904
00:59:50.150 --> 00:59:53.290
I that was the quickie, the code. Let me give the proper,

905
00:59:53.990 --> 00:59:56.250
the proper one. Let me find what I wrote here.

906
00:59:56.790 --> 00:59:58.490
Just a second. I need to find.

907
00:59:58.815 --> 01:00:01.214
I can I can paste it in here because I had Yeah? Yeah.

908
01:00:01.214 --> 01:00:06.494
Paste paste it in the chat, and I'll and I'll provide the correct correct code. Thank you. Okay.

909
01:00:06.494 --> 01:00:09.234
Isaac is saying it's no cap apt

910
01:00:10.255 --> 01:00:12.180
for that for that one he shared,

911
01:00:12.660 --> 01:00:13.160
earlier.

912
01:00:13.859 --> 01:00:17.319
But, yeah, Salinas, put that in the chat there, and then let me

913
01:00:17.780 --> 01:00:19.160
let me add the code.

914
01:00:19.540 --> 01:00:22.760
Okay. I'll look at look for it. You see it in the private chat?

915
01:00:24.180 --> 01:00:29.675
I don't see oh, there it is. Okay. Perfect. I I got it. So this was the code.

916
01:00:29.675 --> 01:00:33.295
Let me let me pop it in here. What we want is

917
01:00:35.355 --> 01:00:37.775
what we want is this. Just a moment here.

918
01:00:38.155 --> 01:00:44.410
We need to wrap it so it's only gets applied on on mobile. So So just give me a second here. Okay.

919
01:00:44.410 --> 01:00:45.790
And we'll do it. Thank you.

920
01:00:46.730 --> 01:00:47.870
Okay. That's fine.

921
01:00:52.330 --> 01:00:55.470
I'm fumbling around, but just give me a moment. We'll we'll get it.

922
01:00:59.865 --> 01:01:01.885
What am I looking for? Here we go.

923
01:01:04.665 --> 01:01:05.165
I

924
01:01:06.985 --> 01:01:09.325
Okay. I got it. So we're gonna do

925
01:01:10.825 --> 01:01:12.605
like this design settings.

926
01:01:16.930 --> 01:01:18.710
And we're gonna paste it here.

927
01:01:19.890 --> 01:01:22.230
Do it nicer so we can kind of see it.

928
01:01:23.490 --> 01:01:26.710
Let me pop it into chat CPT. So it's only for

929
01:01:27.335 --> 01:01:27.835
mobile.

930
01:01:28.135 --> 01:01:29.194
Alright. So

931
01:01:29.654 --> 01:01:30.635
I'm gonna see

932
01:01:31.255 --> 01:01:32.315
Abby only.

933
01:01:33.255 --> 01:01:35.174
So we say only the max with,

934
01:01:35.575 --> 01:01:36.535
768.

935
01:01:36.535 --> 01:01:37.434
Here we go.

936
01:01:38.934 --> 01:01:43.980
Excellent. So this will now only apply when it's mobile view. I'll paste this in the comments.

937
01:01:44.920 --> 01:01:46.680
Forgot who I think Edward asked about it.

938
01:01:46.680 --> 01:01:50.300
I forgot who it was, but let's give it a try on your site together.

939
01:01:51.800 --> 01:01:54.780
So we'll come to the design settings here.

940
01:01:55.720 --> 01:01:56.835
Paste that in

941
01:02:00.435 --> 01:02:02.455
And now let's refresh it.

942
01:02:06.035 --> 01:02:08.295
Oops. Go back here and refresh.

943
01:02:10.730 --> 01:02:12.430
Okay. Now let's make it larger,

944
01:02:12.970 --> 01:02:17.210
and there it goes back to its normal size now. Motion. Only on mobile. Yeah.

945
01:02:17.210 --> 01:02:23.290
So what we needed was I need to this is the rule. It says only for screens smaller than 768

946
01:02:23.290 --> 01:02:25.215
pixels. That's the break point for

947
01:02:25.535 --> 01:02:29.695
for mobile there. Thank you for for pointing that out. That's everything happens for a reason. Yeah.

948
01:02:29.695 --> 01:02:34.415
I just tried, and I was like, wait. It's not it's not working. Right. Right. That's not No. No.

949
01:02:34.415 --> 01:02:38.195
You got us good. So that's that's a good find there. Thank you, Salinas, for the questions.

950
01:02:38.255 --> 01:02:40.355
You're welcome. Cheers. Alright.

951
01:02:40.670 --> 01:02:44.610
Great questions there. Great webinar, guys. You kept the questions coming and flowing.

952
01:02:44.670 --> 01:02:48.830
If we didn't get to your questions, just feel free to ask them in the Facebook group.
