How to add a ToC to your wiki pages

 

Hi all,

Prompted by a conversation in beta@, I've put together a rough guide to how to use the Table of Contents ("ToC") feature in our groups' wiki pages.

How to put a Table of Contents on a Wiki page
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/How-to-put-a-Table-of-Contents-on-a-Wiki-page

Comments and improvements are welcome.

Re: valid email address

 
Edited

Terry,

Is this: < terrys = yahoo.com @ groups.io >
a valid email address?
Yes and no. It is syntactically valid (as required for it to be used in a From field) but messages sent to that address will go nowhere. That is, if you send a message to that address groups.io will reject it ("bounce" it back at you).

Groups.io uses this format for messages from email services (such as Yahoo Mail) that would otherwise attempt to prevent delivery of the message to other group members.

It is a work-around to the anti-spoofing technology (DMARC) deployed by Yahoo Mail and some others. That technology has the unfortunate side effect of breaking mailing lists - unless the mailing list takes countermeasures like masking the original From address.

Re: Keep getting sent link for log in to io

 

Louise,

I did not knowingly request a login link so if I didn't request it does
that mean someone else did?
Possibly. I'm at a loss to imagine how you might unknowingly request one, but maybe if you were trying to sign in or join a group at the time.

It could be an innocent mistake, such as someone with a very similar email address and a tendency to typo. But in any case I concur with J's suggestion that you bring this up with [email protected] to see if they can determine the cause.

A feature that Groups.io does not have yet is a way to list your recent logins and login attempts.

Thanks, Catlady. I have now reported it.

The message ends:

"If you did not ask for a login link to be sent to you, please ignore this email."

The problem is that the above suggestion to ignore the email does not reassure me!

J,

How do you edit a row of a database?
Click on the row (anywhere but the checkbox) and an Update Row page opens.

Same sort of affordance as opening a member's page in the Members list: click on it to open (and optionally edit).

Re: Deleting email addresses

 

Frances,

Groups.io wouldn't allow me to change the email address since it said
that I already have that "proposed" email address in use.
Yup. Managing multiple email addresses is one of the weak spots in Groups.io. That's on the radar, but not promised on any schedule.


So, how do I delete a couple of email addresses that I had used for
testing or as email aliases - there are no subscriptions assigned to
these addresses.
Log in to each address and use the /deleteuser page:
/deleteuser
There isn't a link to that page anywhere.
/g/beta/message/7300

Make sure you've logged out of your main email address, you don't want to accidentally delete the wrong address.

The easy way to log in to these test addresses is to use Email a link to log in. That saves the effort of establishing a password only to delete it.

I don't seem to be able to do that even though I am owner of the sites.
Your ownership of some groups has no bearing on deleting a user account. That can only be done by the owner of the account (which you prove by logging in).

Deleting email addresses

 

I thought I would use another email address for a group I own since my primary email address was giving problems - I missed a few messages the other day, although they did arrive in the group website.

How do you edit a row of a database? I don't see an edit button for rows. I asked in beta but didn't notice a response. Thanks.

Re: Ro -editingposts

 

I know I had suggested making "like" optional way back, but haven/'t seen any more discussion of it. I don't see anything on the Trello cards, either. You might bring it up on the Beta group as a new topic.

Re: Ro -editingposts

 

The "like" feature is not a function that will work well with our group - hurt feelings and all.

Do you think this feature will come under review in the future for an owner to opt out of the feature?

Hi,
Thanks for letting me know why it always says no photos as attachments are turned off for group.? I hope Mark will find a way to either make so someone can see recently added albums or photos.? I do not find it hard to find things if I know what was suppose to be looking for and who made the album.? However many in my group seem totally lost even when they know what the album is called or how posted it.

Searching Files

 

Hello everyone,

Wondering if anyone else is having this problem with searching their files. If you have a search that returns more than 50 hits at the bottom of the search page there are more pages in little page icons.

In our group when I click on those icons it just kicks me back to the beginning of the files instead of to the next page in the search results.?

Also had this problem of being kicked back to main home page when I clicked on a Wiki page from the Wiki "home" page and when I try to switch from thread to message view in the subgroups.?

Re: Recently Posted Photos not working

J_Olivia Catlady
 

Oh, I remember this! "Recently posted photos" only refers to and includes photos that were emailed or posted as attachments, not photos that were "uploaded" into a photo album.?

I think that's another semantic difference ("posted" vs. "uploaded") that falls on deaf ears as far as users are concerned.?

I can't remember what Mark decided to do about this, if anything. It might be somewhere in the Trello ToDo list.

Re: Linking Advice?

 

Shal thanks so much for answering about this. I will definitely post in beta about this. Thanks also for giving the vocabulary needed to ask about this problem :-)
