Re: moderating Member Posts to Calendar #calendar

 

councilconsulting,


When members add events to calendar, is it subject to the same moderation settings as forum posts?

No.

The only control over member's use of the calendar is the overall calendar permission, Subscribers can view, or Subscribers can view and edit.

Re: Subgroups #subgroups

 

councilconsulting,


I have one top level group.? I'm considering making some subgroups.? Will creation of subgroups change anything about the top level group, eg group email address, administrator email address...

It will change both the group's email addresses (listed on the home page) and web address. However the original email address and web address will continue to work for the primary group. See also:

moderating Member Posts to Calendar #calendar

(I'm a bit nervous of testing due to this morning's problem with calendar notifications that I? put in a separate post)\

Thanks

Thanks.


Delete event sends CANCELLED EVENT notification to group #calendar #cal-notice

 

I just experimented with the calendar, don't know how, but through editing an event a couple of times I ended up with duplicate events.? So I deleted 2 of the 3 duplicates (Edit, Delete). ? This caused a "Cancelled Event" notice to go to all members.? I am CERTAIN that I clicked? "update event" and NOT "update event and group"? for both entries.

A Cancelled event notice went out to the whole group for each of the 2 deletions.

(I also had a problem with the times not saving when I saved the event prior to this, that's why I kept going into the event, fixing the time and saving (update event), which seems to have caused the duplicates - 2 with the wrong times, one with the right time).

I'm now very nervous about testing the calendar as I DO NOT want calendar notifications going out at all yet.

Is this a bug? any thoughts? Tahnks


Re: Downloading A Group Wiki

 

One thing to consider is that once you do download the wiki, your downloaded version is frozen forever and doesn't contain any later changes additions or updates.? In other words it's similar to a dead language and very likely to mislead you when you most need it.

Re: Moderator Changing Subscriber's Display Name

 

Chris,


Assuming that you did, then it is you we have to thank for getting the matter resolved as per Updates received this morning (UK time)

I did, but I've no reason to suppose that I was the only one, or even the first.

A highly satisfactory outcome. :)
?
Indeed. Though my particular case (incorrect log entry) remains a bit of a mystery. Mark thinks my reported action should have made no entry at all, and I'm fairly certain that what I reported is exactly what I did. However that may be, a test last night gave the correct result in the logs, so it seems that's "case closed".

Until it isn't. In my experience little niggling discrepancies like that (between actual result and what the diagnosis says should have happened)? hint at something deeper lurking around to bite you later. But not always, so we'll see.

Re: Downloading A Group Wiki

 

Marcio,

(Hope you don't mind me replying on-list as well as directly. I think this may be of general interest.)


So, could you do it for me, please? :)

See the .zip file in GMF's Files page.

The export did not fix up the inter-page links, which makes sense since it is intended as an archive, not to create an offline readable copy. Once you extract the files into a folder you could use a search-and-replace function in a text editor to change just the wiki URLs into local file URLs.


Is it [multi-page downloader] available for Firefox?

I really don't remember, it has been too many years since I've wanted to do that. Possibly back when I had a dial-up connection.

I have repeated the test I carried out a few days ago and it is now reporting correctly in both the Activity Log and? the individual member's Activity History.

A highly satisfactory outcome. :)

Re: Downloading A Group Wiki

 

Marcio,

Is it possible to download a group Wiki so that we can read it
offline, ...
A moderator of the group can obtain a copy via the Export Group Data tab of the group's Settings page.

Specifically I'd like to download this group's wiki.
For a group member it isn't so easy.

You can of course use your browser's Save Page As function to save each wiki page as an .html file. That would get tedious with a large collection of pages. And the inter-page linkages would point back to the site, rather than to the downloaded copy.

It seems to me there is (or was?) a utility or browser function to traverse all the pages linked from a given starting page, saving copies of those pages and fixing the inter-page linkages as it went. Something like that could rapidly get out of hand (attempt to download the entire world wide web) so it had limits you could set for how many levels deep to traverse, and also controls to not follow links that take one outside of a base URL.

Of course what you'd ideally want is something that collects only the wiki page content, and not the surrounding Groups.io framework (header, nav column on the left, footer, various buttons, etc).

The simplest answer may be to ask a group moderator to export a copy for you.

if you set up a Member Notice for Pending Subscription, this will go to someone who wants to join. You can ask them to reply with whatever details you need to be able to approve their membership.
The option is under Admin > Settings

Hi,
Is it possible to download a group Wiki so that we can read it offline, carry it on a flash drive or something like that?
Specifically I'd like to download this group's wiki. Lots of interesting articles that I'd like to have with me.

As always, thanks :)

Re: Screening Questions

 

Hi Avraham

I am not sure whether you saw this group's wiki. Lots of good info there. You can ask others to look at it too - membership in this forum or in Groups.io are not required.

Re: Screening Questions

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

The way I do this for my group is I went to settings, then member notices.? I put in my screening questions as a member notice, saved the notice, checked the box to make the notice active.? Then when anyone applies to my restricted group, they should get a message back with the requested information contained in the member notice.

Hi,
We are testing out Groups.io. One problem we encountered is that we cant seem to screen people who request to join the group. The only option is to approve/reject. Does anyone know how to include screening questions that need to be answered when people subscribe?
Thank you!

Re: Pending Notices and the Applicants response.

 
Edited

I just rejected a message using BCC All Moderators and I got a copy of the rejection notice without having to tick the other box.

For what it's worth...

I believe you have to select Bcc:Me (or however it's worded) in addition to Bcc: All Moderators in order to get your own copy.? That's the way it all worked at one time, though I was thinking that was changed to include "Me" with the "All Moderators" at one time, but maybe I'm remembering the email a member function.? It does seem like it should be consistent in all situations.
