Jeff -- That shouldn't matter. I joined your group and used View Source from the More menu on a few of them. The = sign at the end of a line is a continuation character that instructs the browser to concatenate the lines. Beyond that, there are several img tags containing src parameters that refer to files on tranceam.org. The height and width parameters seems to be honored but not the image source. Does this domain require any authentication (logging in, etc) to access these files? If so, that could be why they aren't being displayed. Good luck, Bruce?

Can't pin this down on RSS Integrations
Hi guys, I sent this to Help but could not get an answer. [Moderator note:? this in reference to topic /g/Group_Help/topic/93970910?in Group_Help] I use RSS integration from my blog.? Everything works fine, posts go through - the emails are on the site and I get them via Gmail - EXCEPT that the images are broken both in Gmail, and a big white space where the image should be on .? (The images are cover images for each blog post) The images show everywhere else.? on Feedly fine, and even when I do integrations successfully using Zapier for Facebook and Twitter, and the images are fine, which tells me it's not something on my end, i.e. with my feed.? ? There appears to be an incompatibility somewhere.? I am on free.? Do I need to upgrade? I was hoping to use Groups.io's built-in integrations feature rather than try to kludge together a Zapier solution with 's post by email feature- which is my last resort, I think I had trouble making that work before, and I'm out of free Zap slots anyway.? Also: -Double checked image URLs in the original feed - they all work fine when i copy paste into a new window.
-I checked and do not have Hotlink protection on my site's Cloudflare CDN or Wordpress plugins, FWIW, AFAIK... and I made ssure my SEO plugin does not interfere with the feed, which I already determined shouldn't be the issue anyway.? I do not use security plugins. Group: tranceam Feed URL: ANY guidance would be appreciated.? Hopefully it's not some weird setting buried somewhere with unintended consequences. Cheers |

Will that do what I think it will do and just send out those RSS feed items on a weekly basis??Chuck -- You might try setting the #Feed hashtag to Moderated. If you let them accumulate for a week and then approve them all at once, I believe that will give the behavior you want (at the cost of some inconvenience).

If I use the #News hashtag for that feed but don't want the default timing of every 30 minutes, can I edit that hashtag by selecting Mute Topics->Mute Duration and choose 1 Week??For the benefit of others, there is no system hashtag called #News. The one associated with the RSS integration is called #Feed. That said, you can append an already-existing hashtag to feed messages if you want to (on a feed-by-feed basis). Will that do what I think it will do and just send out those RSS feed items on a weekly basis??No. Feeds are polled for new messages every 30 minutes. That cannot be modified. Messages arriving via the feed are sent out like any other message (i.e.: in accord with each person's subscription settings). If I also select under Hashtags->Notification->Web/App Notify, will it send out that notification of new posts on a weekly basis along with email notifications on a daily basis for our members who have Summary as their default notifications?? I'd like to not have that redundancy if possible.The purpose of notifications is to provide timely information on system activity. They are sent immediately, regardless of subscription setting (kinda like special notices). Although each individual can turn them on and off, there is no mechanism by which the sending of notifications can be delayed.

It would help if the option could be labeled "Display Width (Pixels)" rather than just "Display Width."? Even better would be to make the value refer to charactersYou're welcome to post a #suggestion on the where it will be seen by management.? However, the documentation clearly states that the measurement is in pixels, including a Tip to leave it at 0, so reading that is always a good idea.

I strongly suspect that you are also specifying columns widths for these new columns. This is problematic as different devices have different widths. Just leave the width as 0 (the default) and it will look better.? Note if you add a field of type address, you can specify the house number and street name under one column on the member list display.? It will also contain a link to a map, which I'm guessing should be Google Maps as per database address fields but it doesn't work so I'll raise a bug for that.?? Adding extra member data is a new feature and does not seem to be full developed yet so I would not be surprised if there were one or two more gremlins under the covers. Regards Andy |

Members list added variable columns display problem
I've added variables/columns for house number and street name to the members list for the premium group I moderate for my neighborhood.? The new variables/columns appear to the right of "Delivery" and "Applied"? on the screen but show on top of each other and take up multiple lines as shown in the screen capture below: Am I doing something wrong?? Is there a way to fix this or any way to change the display of? other columns to narrow the space allocated for the "Display Name" and "Email Address" columns, which are much wider than necessary, so the new columns could be displayed correctly on the screen?? Thanks for any advice about this. ? Bob |

Re: Allowing members to see each others email addresses
Few of our members access the website, or even know it exists, so we handle most things via email.? At one extreme we would send out a contact list with everyone¡¯s email addresses, at the other extreme we would have a middleman to connect people (getting permission from both ends).? Any thoughts on this?
You could send out an email saying you are going to do a poll. Then set up a poll to ask people whether they want their emails shared or not. You could include options in the poll. I think the idea of having a middle content would be very labor intensive. Kathleen |

The Extra Member Data fields are new and the whole set up is not fully developed just yet. There are ongoing discussions about how this feature would be used in subgroups so as yet, the extra data is only available in a main group. Personally, I would like to see fields and values defined in the main group propagate to subgroups in the same way that member colours do. The /updatemember endpoint in the API has been updated to expose the new fields but I suspect, could be subject to change as this feature is developed further. Regards Andy |

Re: Extra Member Data
You can only add info if you have a paid group, free groups only display that data (if there already, to account for downgrades).
toggle quoted message
Show quoted text
If you do have a paid group, you need to first define what the extra data fields are, go to Admin->Settings->Default Sub Settings and make sure to hit Save on the bottom of the page.? You can then edit that data per member. Cheers, Christos On 2022-09-29 16:21, Karin Beil via groups.io wrote:
