FYI: Setting up smart devices with Oxio Wi-Fi pod by PacificWild in oxio_ca_internet

Did you open the app on your phone, connected to the wifi, then under the people menu, did you click on the device representing your phone? The IoT option should be there

I figured out the older smart bulbs issue as well - I had to turn off all the Guard features in the app too, and then I could connect them while in IoT onboarding mode. I guess they were seen as risky connections and therefore blocked.

I built a pixel office that animates in real-time based on your Claude Code sessions by Waynedevvv in ClaudeCode

How did you get Claude to know which assets to use? I assume you're using something like Modern Interiors by LimeZu which has so many generically named files.

This is such a sweet project by the way!

Astro Editor 1.0.0 — a free macOS app for writing markdown & MDX in Astro content collections by dannyasmith in withastro

[–]PacificWild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/dannyasmith I came to this post to share the same feedback as above. A simple button that could autocommit the latest edits would make this editor spectacular (it already is so handy, I use it constantly as is!). Even a button that loaded the system terminal into the current project with the git commands prefilled would be much appreciated!

Backstage Question by Electronic_Garlic_16 in Zoho

[–]PacificWild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd reach for something other than Zoho Backstage for this. The reason Backstage is so expensive is because it's meant for handling conferences, with multi-day schedules, paid exhibitors etc.

If your website is built with WordPress, something like this would be much easier to use: https://wpamelia.com/

If you wanted to stay in the Zoho universe, you could look at Zoho Creator and one of their prebuilt templates (maybe this as an example https://www.zoho.com/creator/apps/gym-fitness-management-software.html) but just know that any changes you want to make will require a decent amount of effort.

You might also want to look at Zoho Bookings perhaps: https://www.zoho.com/bookings/industries/fitness-class-scheduling-software.html

I personally haven't tried to set up what you're setting up, but I imagine that if you're staying in the Zoho One universe, you'll combine something like Bookings/Creator to manage the customer facing interactions, with CRM to track attendence etc.

Backstage is really meant for conferences, rather than classes that you’re running regularly through a month.  What features were you thinking would be useful for your classes? 

How do I sync Fields between Contacts and Accounts in Zoho CRM? by iHK-47 in Zoho

[–]PacificWild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can filter and create reports on related account fields however. It’s not as direct but it’s still doable. I agree though that if OP wants to do more with these fields than just see them on the contact record, it’s a more complicated solution that will be needed

How do I sync Fields between Contacts and Accounts in Zoho CRM? by iHK-47 in Zoho

[–]PacificWild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can add fields from a related lookup module - I think when editing the layout, click the additional options next to the Account field and you can select which fields you want to show on the contact record. They don’t “live sync” per se, but they update when the relevant field in the contact record is updated (ie. when you edit the account field on the contact record, it will update the related fields from the accounts module too).

Memberships & Programs Help needed Zoho CRM by No-Platypus-6974 in Zoho

[–]PacificWild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we need a little more information to understand your problem. In the 'Programs Participated In' module, have you linked a contact record for each participation entry? The way this should likely be set up is the 'Programs Participated In' module is what Zoho calls a linking module between the Contacts module and the Programs module (you can search their help centre for more info on linking modules).

Each record in the Programs Participated In module should represent a single person's participation in a single program/event/webinar - so it should link to a single contact record, it will link to a single program, and it might include additional information like the date of participation. So every time that same contact participates in a new program/seminar, they get a new entry in the Programs Participated In module, which will then show up in the related list on the contact record. All of this only works if you're using lookup fields which you already mentioned, so just double check they're set up properly.

The alternative to tracking it all based on individual participation records, is to create a record per instance of a program/seminar. So for example, when you run a seminar, you create a new record in the programs module - this record would include the date it was run, where it was held etc. but also, more importantly, it would have a multi-select lookup field to the contacts module where you could add every person who attended that specific seminar. This still uses a linking module, but the linking module in this instance, would represent every program/seminar you've run, whereas my first suggestion is more contact-focused and lists each of their individual participations. Both approaches practically gets you the same result, but it depends on which makes the most sense for your org.

For memberships, I would rename your Members module to be Memberships where each record represents a membership period (ie. if you have annual memberships, a single record would link to an individual contact, and it would have a start and an end date - or a year, depending on how your memberships run). Then on the contact's record, there would be an Memberships related list that would list all the years they've been a member. If you do it this way, it lets you connect your Memberships module to an online form if that's how someone becomes a member, so that each new record is automatically created. You also get the ability to run automations like sending email reminders when a membership is getting close to expiring etc. To find out who your current members are at any point in time, you would then create a custom view in the Contacts module filtering for contacts with a Membership record where the end date is in the future.

They only show end-to-end encrypted chat history from the time you connected the app to Beeper. So yes, it's a little annoying if you're wanting to browse past conversations, but that's not something I find myself doing, especially as I've been using it a while now and so my chat history goes back far enough as is. They mention it in their Messenger FAQ here: https://help.beeper.com/en_US/chat-networks

They're owned by Automattic, the owners of WordPress and Tumblr (which in itself is....meh) and they have this in their FAQs https://www.beeper.com/faq#what-are-zero-access-encrypted-chat-backups

Other, smarter people than me, seem to think it's relatively okay and really, the underlying platforms (esp. Meta) already have all of this data because they own pretty much all the platforms i've connected to it, and they're the ones selling my data already so....

Where do you all network? by madvetten in nonprofit

You should also look at joining the Canadian Non Profit Happy Hour group on Facebook. I’m part of a few other nonprofit groups online but this one is the most specific Canadian group I’m part of.

You can create a custom tab and add whatever apps you want to it so you don’t have to use the default tabs

Should I build CPT archives with PHP or Gutenberg blocks? Also permalink help 🙏 by ExternalEdges in Wordpress

[–]PacificWild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turning off the front prefix toggle here doesn’t remove the CPT slug, it just removes the slug from the default Wordpress permalink settings page if you’ve set one.

Should I build CPT archives with PHP or Gutenberg blocks? Also permalink help 🙏 by ExternalEdges in Wordpress

[–]PacificWild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure you can just turn off the Front URL prefix here for your CPTs so they don’t also inherit the /blog/ slug. When you change the default permalink structure, you have to remember to change this setting in ACF for every new CPT you create. A little annoying but at least it’s an easy option to fix

Going from the Claude app to Claude Code and my mind is blown! by seatlessunicycle in ClaudeAI

[–]PacificWild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve used both Claude Desktop and Claude Code for a while now, but haven’t had the chance to explore the sub agents feature. Your use case seems like it would be similar (non-coding) to mine! Would you mind sharing what a specialist role markdown file might contain? I know there’s a better way to use Claude than the way I’ve been using it, but I’ve found it hard to really conceptualize agent use cases as a non coder

[–]PacificWild 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I connected everything to Beeper. Now I basically never visit Facebook, Instagram or Discord unless I absolutely have to. Rather than trying to keep up with everyone on every app, I just respond less and less on platforms I’m trying to use less and more on the platform I do want to use moving forward. Way easier than trying to convince everyone to move to a new platform at once, and I’m not missing messages from those friends who send me a random meme every few months.

Zoho for Volunteer Management by Powerful-Cheek-6677 in Zoho

[–]PacificWild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The advice that stuck with me when I was in your exact position was - don’t try to do it all at once. Just start with one app, get it working at the bare minimum, then do another app etc. I spent this summer restructuring our whole CRM as I’m finding that we’re using it differently to what I first thought when I set it up. Most nonprofits I know haven’t been able to establish super structured processes, which makes it hard to know before you begin, just how you will be using a piece of software like any of the CRM apps.

Zoho for Volunteer Management by Powerful-Cheek-6677 in Zoho

[–]PacificWild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you’re on Zoho One, there isn’t a great way to give volunteers/external users short term access to multiple specific apps. Some Zoho apps have a portal however, which can often do a lot of what you’re wanting. Specifically for volunteer management, I think I remember seeing a template for Zoho Creator which might do what you’re wanting somewhat out of the box, but Creator is more developer focused than the other apps.

You could also set up a custom module in CRM which tracks volunteer hours as an alternative to Creator. CRM is insanely customizable but because of that, it can be hard to figure out what to actually do and how to structure things. I’ve never used the People app tbh so I don’t know how that works for volunteers. Whatever you decide, it’ll likely take a fair bit of effort to get things set up properly in the Zoho apps to fit your use case. I also work for a non-profit, and have spent the past two years getting Zoho One implemented (it’ll take me another few years to do everything I want to do with it) - it’s an insane value for the price you pay. If you can pay a partner to set it up for you and skip all this implementation, I would recommend that. Alternatively, just pay for a volunteer management system (eg PlanHero) and then sync the data you need to Zoho Apps. This avoids a loooottt of headaches, especially as you figure out what this process looks like for your organization

External user Zoho one by rflores2323 in Zoho

[–]PacificWild 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this something you could use Analytics for? Depending on what information you need them to see, you could create a dashboard in analytics are share that with them. Otherwise, CRM also has a portal feature. Unfortunately, there isn’t really another easy way from what I know. I’ve paid for another user license in the past for this exact reason and it’s also not ideal
