You can create a "home" wiki page that contains links to the other pages and present them in any order or categorization that you want.?

Other than that, I don't know what you might mean by "re-ordering" them.

Hope this helps,

Can I re-order Wiki pages?

 

If so then how do I do it please?


Re: Group default settings for Photos

 
Edited

Dotty,

Yes, I know that each subscriber can change the sort order when
viewing the photos online. But that selection reverts to the default
alphabetical listing each time the group is visited.
This would be my suggestion: the site ought to remember the visitor's viewing options when he/she leaves the page and comes back.

I would much prefer to be able to choose a default for the group that
will sort them chronologically by the date posted.
I'm actually against putting viewing options like this into settings or preferences pages. I detest them because they're never what I want right now, but changing it means navigating my way to wherever it is set, then finding my way back to what I was doing. That's not so hard, usually, but it is an interruption to my train of thought.

My objection is even stronger when I have to beg a group owner to change it because (as a member) I can't.

Has this been requested on Beta previously?
I found a reference to being able to sort Albums by date, which has been implemented (albeit without memory). In a quick glance I didn't see a reference to making a group (or individual) option to preset the order, or to remember the order.

Yeah, that's what I thought when I read Jim's post, too. But the fact remains that you could come up with your own folder naming convention that would automatically put the desired album first.

Failing that, you can go ahead and make this suggestion in beta; just be prepared for the idea not getting a lot of traction. The functionality to sort albums in reverse chronological order already exists, and there are a lot of very good pending proposals that haven't been implemented at all.

Good luck,
Bruce

Jim,
Thanks for your suggestion, but I don't think that solves my problem.? That is likely how I will name my albums if given the option to set the Photo default to sort "chronologically" or date posted instead alphabetically.? And I'm aware that system will work for the current year with the alphabetical default as it is now.?? But if I use the ISO format to rename all our albums, it will force the earlier years (2011 through 2017) to appear before the current 2018 year albums.? And at the beginning of next year, my 2019-01 album will follow the 2018-12 album, rather than appear before it.? That is why I want the option to set the group default sort to a first/last "date posted" order.? I want to be able to keep the most recent albums at the beginning of our Photo pages when our members go to the website to view them, without their having to change the sort order each time.? I don't think the ISO format will do that consistently from year to year with the current default.

Re: facebook page integration not working #integration

If one digs, one can find this sentence:

Keep in mind that you may not be able to share posts to external sites if your page has country or age restrictions.

But why isnt it a MAIN PRIVACY topic on FB?

Thanks again Bruce.

Wow,thanks so much Bruce. Amazing how terrible FB HELP wiki is. searched for a TON of terms, none lead anything? remotely close to this. Thanks again

I searched for an hour on how to make a page VISIBLE? when not logged in. Cant find anything Shai.


Re: G.io needs to update Facebook PAGE #integration facts #integration

 

AL,

When asking this prob here, I get folk saying to make my page PUBLIC.
But that's **fallacy**. All FB PAGES are PUBLIC, ...
There's public (all Facebook members), and then there's public (everyone on the internet). Integration requires the latter.

You didn't read enough of the page that Bruce sent you to.

In particular the section "I can't see my Page when I'm logged out of Facebook" probably has your answer: the page cannot have age or country restrictions.

G.io needs to update Facebook PAGE #integration facts #integration

AL Guevara
 

When adding my page () to my group integration, I get Error:

That name does not appear to be the name of a Facebook Page.

When asking this prob here, I get folk saying to make my page PUBLIC. But that's fallacy. All FB PAGES are PUBLIC, only FB Groups or FB Profile can enact privacy.

I've been running or help run, FB Groups & Pages since 2010.

From Facebook HELP area.
Pages are public spaces so people can access them whether they have liked the Page or not. However, you can place certain age and geographical restrictions on your Page.

To learn more about Page visibility, check out our Help Center:


If you want to make your Page completely private, I'd suggest you create a group instead. Pages allow real organizations, businesses, celebrities and brands to communicate broadly with people who like them. Groups provide a space for people to communicate about shared interests and allows for more Privacy options.

For more information about the differences between groups and Pages check out this Help Center Article:

Group default settings for Photos

 

Before requesting this as an option on Beta, I thought I would bring it up on GMF first.? Perhaps it has been discussed here or on Beta before and I just didn't find it.? I find the Alphabetical default setting for photos less than optimal for our group use.? We are a small group, but one of our primary uses is for sharing "show & tell " photos each week.? I create an album for each month, into which the photos are posted weekly.? Ideally, I would like the option to make the default group settings to sort the photo albums (and photos within each album) by date.?

Yes, I know that each subscriber can change the sort order when viewing the photos online.? But that selection reverts to the default alphabetical listing each time the group is visited.? I might be successful in teaching my members how to change the setting once, but most of them are unlikely to remember how to do it or be willing to do it each time.? We are, in general, not a tech savvy nor tech comfortable group of older ladies.? (I'm not implying that this applies to all "old ladies", but it is accurate for my particular group.)? When I post a message telling them that new photos have been added, I include a link that will take them to the proper album.

Currently, my "work around" for keeping the most recent albums at the beginning of our Photos pages, is to name my albums with a leading zero, such as "0-August 2018". This puts them before any of the "alphabetic" only albums.? But this is not ideal.? I would much prefer to be able to choose a default for the group that will sort them chronologically by the date posted.? In other words, I would like to be able to choose among the options available within each album, and have them apply to the group.? This would give each group owner the ability to choose a default that would be most suitable for their use.

Has this been requested on Beta previously?? If so, any idea if it is on Mark's to do list?? Shall I request it again?

Thanks,
Dotty

Don,
The Sent Invitations tab will display the names/addresses.? There is no download function though so to capture them you can select the text on the screen and copy/paste.? It will be tab separated columns so you can paste into Excel (right click and use Match Destination Formatting option), then grab the column of addresses and paste those into your email program To: (or better yet BCC:) field to send an email to all of them at once.

Re: Sent invitations

 

In Admin, Invite. Already sent - Sent Invitations tab.
You could edit the invitation email so it says what you want it to say.

Or go to Admin, Settings, Member Notices and create a followup notice there. Edit the Welcome letter.
