Is there any way to require submission of a approval request prior to approve into a group?

I can see the Extra fields on the member's page.? It's possible to have them hidden from the users.? If you've set the field to be required, it's only effective going forward.? You'd have to enter something for existing members.

Re: Extra member data

 

Make sure you click the "Viewable In A Member's Profile" box for each field (column) you add. Then you can and the member can fill in the field in their profile.
Extra member data

 

Hello
?
I needed to add a column to the extra member data and I've managed to do this
?
?
My problem is that I cannot find a way for me or members to go back into their profile to now answer the question
?
Even if this is not possible for them, can the moderators somehow fill in this info on behalf of members?
?
Thanks

Still possible, albeit with a bit of work.

Decide on the order in which you want the photos, and then number them 01: 02: 03: and so on. Not a perfect solution because it is vulnerable to individual members not having the correct selection of "display order".??
?
If it was up to me owners would have the option of forcing a specific display order irrespective of any "member selection".

Re: Nesting Photo Albums, Photo Album 'sorting', and more...

 

Back in the day when I was using Y Groups, they had one function with photo albums I liked that Groups does not. They had a way to reorder pictures in an album any way a person would want them, no matter what they were named, posted, taken, or uploaded. I kind of miss that.

Re: Link to page on the app?

 

I can not say for certain, but the phone receives many signals all of
the time. Since I wear blue tooth equiped hearing aids I hear all sorts
of beps and sips, and am sure that our cell phones are hearing these
things too, and sometimes reacting to them. Try shutting bluetooth off
and see if that helps. You may even want to test shutting wifi off to
see what happens.

Just my thoughts.... ET

I'm sure he'd entertain this - and I would support it - but there may be a practical difficulty of some kind. The same thing has occasionally been asked of Emailed Photos (read: photo attachments), which also require a preliminary download to move them to another album. For some reason that I don't understand, the notion has never gotten a whole lot of traction.

Steve, Duane and all:
Thank you all for your thoughtful responses. I was afraid?that was the only answer. I haven't had problems downloading PDF files, but I was hoping for a simpler method of sending a copy to the Files area rather than having to save it to a hard drive first?and then resave it to the group Files. Perhaps Mark might consider a method to right click on the file in the message and allow it to be saved in Files, perhaps allowing it to be put in a specific folder?

Subject: Re: [GMF] Are PDF attachments saved in the system?

Dano inquires:

      "When photos are attached, I know they get put in the "Emailed Photos" album in Photos. What happens to PDF files? I can't locate them anywhere, can I'd like to see it put into FIles somewhere? The PDF in question is in /g/MILW/message/90472 . Thanks to anyone who has a good answer for me."

Having read the previous responses and being a member of Dano's MILW list I took a look at this.

As others have suggested, there does not appear to be a way to directly move the pdf in ??????? question to the group files folder. However, as Dano's end goal is to "put into the files somewhere", here's a solution that achieves Dano's desired result:

1)????? Locate the message online in the group.

a)????? Then either,

i)????? Right click on the PDF,

ii)???? Click on ¡°Save Link As¡±,

iii)??? Select the location on your system to D/L to,

iv)???? Consider changing the name back to something useful (Windows seems to want to save as giving the file a guaranteed unique file name.

v)????? Save the file.

b)????? Or,

i)????? Double click on the pdf in the e-mail,

ii)???? When the PDF opens in Adobe, click on the download icon,

iii)??? Specify where to D/L and give it a good file name again if needed, and

iv)???? Save.

2)????? The file in question is now on your PC where you can use Groups.io to upload the file to the desired location in the group¡¯s file folder.

HTH.

Best regards,

Short answer, no.? Albums are one level deep, though you can sort within them by Name, Posted, or Taken.? I doubt that will help much.
?
The default sort for albums is by Created, newest first.? Emailed photos is always first though.? If you change your sort order, the site will remember the next time you go there.? However, each person can choose the order they want and there's no way to force one.

If you¡¯re on the page of a message tap and hold the link icon at the upper right next to the date (this is on the iOS version):

Nesting Photo Albums, Photo Album 'sorting', and more...

 

Nesting Albums: Is there any way that you know of to 'nest' Photo Albums? I don't see anything in Help that addresses this. I don't really want to open my Photos tab to look through 50 'Albums' to find one, or two, or five that are of the same genre, but different - like "Reunion Pictures 2022, Reunion Pictures 2023, Reunion Pictures 2024" mixed in with "trucks" and "cars", etc. I want to be able to create a "Special Teams" Album (and others) with Sub-Albums: HazMat, Dive/Swiftwater/Inlet Rescue, High-Angle, Wildland-Urban Interface Fire, etc.

Sorting/Fixing (anchoring) the location/sort order of Albums: Another, complementary item is how to 'Organize' the Photo Albums. I don't see any way to 'fix their position' in the index. "Emailed Photos" is "always the first Album", but I want to organize the folders in a Numerical/Alphabetical way, and have them stay that way - yet be able to insert a new Album into the mix at a specific location in the view. The provided Sort params do not meet my needs. I want to Lock them in a specific order.
?
- i.e. I do NOT want (the) Station 10 Album to sort in front of Stations 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. I also don't really want to use a naming convention like Station 01,02, etc.
Also, for example, I want the Shop, and Dispatch Album after all of the Stations. These are currently in here in a random order, not consistent with the order I created them.
?
Thanks for the use of your brain cells.
Re: Admin/Owner is Locked Out

 

So a couple months ago, I had a problem like this for another user. My recommendation, is if your group is a premium group, I recommend contacting Mark and letting him know the issue. I would probably go through the beta group to do this, though, since you can't get back into that account. And he will change the email address for you. I had to have him do this for somebody else that got locked out of their Gmail account and had a slew of groups that needed to be moved. And we had no way of getting back into the account. We had the process done in about four days of communication.

If you have some money that is interested, going to the members list, and adjust the part that says member role, to owner. Then make sure that you have them demote you to a member if you're wanting to stay around.

They're stored as part of the message.? They're not separate like photos.? There is no easy way to remove a pdf attachment, you'll always end up going to the message and editing it out.? If you hover on the attachment name in the message, the URL will be groupname/attachment/message#/sequential#/filename.? In the attachments list, it just points you to the message.? (That may not make much sense to you unless you're a computer nerd. ;>)

Re: Are PDF attachments saved in the system?

 

Malcolm, you are right. You can see the individual PDFs in the list of attachments.?
?
You can sort the list be date or by size. You can click on the PDF and open it, attached to appropriate email.
?
You can put PDFs in Files as well.

This may not be a 'good' answer but try looking at Admin > Preferences >

It does not say 'where' they are but you can see a list of attachments.

Oddly you can only find PDF attachments with the post. At least I don¡¯t see them anywhere else. If you mentioned PDF in the post itself, you can find it by search. But if it is simply attached to an email. no dice. I looked to see if there was an auto hashtag. Nope. Not in Photos nor in Files.

I happen to have a recent PDF attachment in one of my smaller groups for trying to track this down. Btw the PDF opens just fine.

If it is elsewhere I¡¯d love to know.
