I was going to ask for Dropbox integration instead of Google.
I feel like they would be a better fit for groups.io, but I understand the technical considerations.
Hopefully you will revisit this in the future.

So using an example from our group, the file target is: (pasted into
Notepad)

/g/Catalina30/files/Specs%20and%20Manuals/M-25XPB%20wiring%
20schematic%20%2839144_rev_m%29.pdf

So,
groups.io/g/Catalina30/files/

Specs %20 and %20 Manuals <- (the folder it's in)
i.e., or in English, "Specs and Manuals"

The file name:
M-25XPB %20 wiring %20 schematic %20 %28 39144_rev_m %29 .pdf
i.e., or in English
M-25XPB wiring schematic (2839144_rev_m).pdf

(We are not diligent about using underscore and/or hyphen "space holders" in
filenames.)

I'm not sure if this works in Chrome, but I just hover over the link and a small window opens at the lower left of the browser with the complete path shown.? I'm sure there's a technical name for that little window. ;>)

When one designs a "table" the setup uses "Rows" and "Columns" to identify what you are configuring.
This is what set in my mind instead of ID field.
Since I'm more of a "doer" than an "documenter" I leave the mental conversion of my Row terminology to ID as an exercise for the reader.
(Or possibly, as an Edit for the Moderator<g>)
FWIW Maybe we should petition Support to hide or even delete the ID field since many people may confuse it with the numeric position of the record in the data set when it's actually a relative position.

Ken, thanks for that quick response but it doesn't seem to work for me. When right-click on a file link in the results list, I just see the standard Chrome menu for right-clicks. Am I doing something wrong?

I find a complete json of the table pretty useless.? Tables are typically dynamic, often changing.
So I like to separate the design portion from the data.? Since I usually use test rows to check out databases & spread sheets, I like to carry the test info along with the design and the json does that and isn't very long.? The test info is compact and easy to eliminate after uploading the design and it gives me an assurance that what I upload is what I wanted.

Here's the way that I handle updates that require reordering of the rows once I had completed definition of my table:

• I first saved the design and test rows as a Json in case I had to rework the table
• I then deleted the test rows
• Uploaded the actual table contents from a .csv file
• Checked out the contents, fields, etc.
• I saved my rows as a .csv file for my backup and working copy

If I made minor changes requiring no resequencing I simply re-saved all rows as a .csv fie for possible future complete reloading
If I have major changes

• I rework them in the .csv file
• After reworking the rows in the .csv fiile and saving it
• Delete all rows in the table in the Databases
• Then I.upload the reworked .csv file into the table to check it out

Although each time you do this the row numbers increase it makes no difference; it gives you control of the sort order and you always have a backup

I wonder, are there other ways of going about this? Perhaps the use of a DATABASE is not the appropriate option for your needs?

As you are already manipulating rows via a spreadsheet, why not upload this spreadsheet to the FILES section for your members to download and print? (Is this because your members will not be spreadsheet-literate - so downloading and printing will be to complex?)

How about generating a PDF from your spreadsheet and uploading this instead? (Simpler to downlaod/view/print.)

Or, could the WIKI work for you?

Just trying to suggest alternative approaches.

Randi,

It is really irritating that all of my posts are moderated and I am
the group owner.

As far as message moderation goes there's no difference between an owner/mod or any other member. You have to look to the Posting Privileges of your subscription, and the group's Moderation setting to determine why your messages are moderated.

There is an action that says “approve and unmoderate” and I
use it each time and it never unmoderates me.

I believe that function changes your Posting Privilege to "Use Group Moderation Setting". But that will still result in your messages being moderated if your group has the "Moderated" box checked. The function is intended for use with groups with the "New Users Moderated" box checked, not the "Moderated" box.

If it is your intent that all (or the vast majority) of your group members be moderated at all times then checking the "Moderated" box is correct, and to override that for yourself choose "Override: not moderated" at the bottom of your membership page (click on your row in the Members or Moderators list).

If, on the other hand, you expect to unmoderate most members after they prove themselves then choose "New Users Moderated" instead of "Moderated" for the group setting. With that choice you can let members be automatically unmoderated after a set number of approved messages, or manually unmoderate them using the "Approve and Unmoderate" button on their next pending message.

Good idea.? I may end up doing that too.? Don't forget the new one that was introduced recently, #cal-cancelled.

Dale,

I tried using the advice suggested with only the "photos" box checked,
but nothing happened and the transfer did not even register as a
pending transfer in the transfer status drop down box.

Clue number 1 that something's wrong.

I am not the owner who initiated the first transfer. Could that be
the issue?

I strongly suspect that is the issue.

It explains why you didn't see the prior transfer in the Existing Transfers list - only the account which initiated the transfer has access to that.

It probably also explains why your attempts have failed. One of the requirements to do a re-transfer is to delete the record of the existing (prior) transfer; something you couldn't do and the other owner probably didn't know to do.

If there's reason the other owner can't handle the new transfer then I think Gerald's right and you'd need help from Support to clear things out so that you can start fresh, or maybe jump-start your transfer.

Pamala,

I think my problem lies in the fact that I want to move a row from one
spot to another.

The key is that you have to do that by re-arranging the rows (lines) in the CSV file.

The ID numbers won't be included in the exported CSV, and they will be automatically assigned, in the order of the lines in the CSV file, when imported.

Dear Shal, thank you so much for all the trouble you have gone to.
I think my problem lies in the fact that I want to move a row from one spot to another.
I haven't had time to spend exploring this more today as I have been extremely busy doing other things.
I will, however, study your email closely and try one more time before giving in.

This may take me several days as I have commitments, meetings etc. all week up to Saturday.
I will let you know how it goes and also take screenshots as I work through it so I have a record to show you if it doesn't work.

God Bless,
Pamela

Ruthie, Frances, Ken, Jim,

The Email Deliver History says, "554 delivery error: dd Sorry, your
message to XXXXXX@... cannot be delivered. This mailbox is
disabled (554.30). - mta4486.mail.gq1.yahoo.com"

It seems that Yahoo is doing some spring cleaning of dormant accounts, and that's the message you get for accounts that have been disabled.


As some have mentioned in beta, clearing out accounts that haven't been signed in for over a year has been a longstanding policy at Yahoo, but only intermittently enforced.

Bottom line:

These are likely to be subscribers that transferred over from your Yahoo Group. They are likely to be No Email, but even if not they haven't been reading your group's messages (otherwise they wouldn't be dormant).

So my advice is to let them go. Either ignore them or (if you prefer a tidier Bouncing list) remove them.

Shal

FWIW:
I took this heads-up as a prompt to go and sign in to each of my handful of test accounts at Yahoo. It looks like I'll lose one of them because even though I know its password, Yahoo requires that I verify one of its recovery addresses/phone numbers. Unfortunately that one has only one recovery option, and it is a long-dead email address at my former ISP.

In that condition, the only recovery option is to speak to an agent. I could do that, as I have record of the "secrets" I set for that account, but I'm not going to bother.
