Database image source

 

Any way to insert an image into a database if the image is in the PHOTOS section rather than in a file on my computer?

Export database with images

 

Can a database with images be exported and the images show up in the exported file?? If so, how?

Database image sizes

 

Trying to make database of two image columns and one description column.? Images appear different sizes.? Must I pre-size all images to be same size before inserting in database for them to appear similar size in database?

Sorry, I thought you knew about Beta through our pinned post on GMF - Another YG outage -?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/25027

Never assume! Yes, join Beta and get all messages. Later, you can tweak your subscription.

Re: Nested photo ablums

 

Thanks.

I wonder what happens during the groups transfer process then. Are the
photo albums lost in the transfer since they can't be made into nested
albums? If so, that might explain someone's recent mention that some
photos were missing.

No.? It's been requested before, but it's not on the TODO list as far as I can tell.

Yes. Subscribe to this group for individual emails.

You could subscribe to ? That's where Mark makes the announcements about YG up/down.

That's added by someone's email program.? GIO doesn't do things like that.

Nested photo ablums

 

Can you create a photo album inside a photo album, like some have done
on Yahoo?

I tried to upload photos from a Yahoo album that had another subfolder
(sub-album) inside it and it seems to ignore the folder that has more
photos inside it.

My work-around is to create a new album named similarly to the parent
album that's on Yahoo and upload the nested album photos into the one
I created that's similarly named.

Is there a way to get a nested, two or even three level deep album on
GIO?

Thanks!!!

Donald

You can monitor it at?/yahootransfer

If you have concerns about losing a valuable archive, you could try to do a backup of your messages and files either by using one of the techniques mentioned in the FAQ on the wiki.
This could act as a backup, just in case.
?
And make sure you are all set to go when YG starts behaving again. Make sure you are an owner or a moderator with the permission to upgrade the transfer email address to moderator in your YG site.

And your Groups.io ¡°home¡± is ready with all the right settings for your group. Write your Welcome message, etc.
Consider whether you want a subgroup, etc.?
Lots of info on the wiki.
and this on settings, notices, etc.

The blocker was that groups.io blocked message import from the script after 40

I added a delay 50 seconds between messages to avoid the block. The number 50 can be changed in the beginning of the program.

"Suspicious Links" header

 

Some of the? posts in my group have an added header "[Suspicious Links]".
In itself, without some sort of explanation, this isn't very helpful.? Does anyone
know the criteria used to classify a link as suspicious?

Ken -- After an entire month, I don't think continuing to wait is the answer. More likely groups.io is waiting for him to do something.

rhapsody.2120 -- It's very common for an invitation to fail to go through. Even if it has gone through, you have a couple more steps to do. And you may have difficulties promoting the transfer agent to a Moderator, depending on what privileges you have in the Yahoo group.

Check your status as described in?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/19948?. We will continue to be unable to tell you where in the process you might be stuck until this information is shared with us.

Re: Unable to transfer old Yahoo group

 

At that point you wait for two things:
1. The account to show up in the YG.
2. The email saying they were able to create the account at YG and are ready
to continue.

If you see the transfer account appeared at YG, you could go ahead and make
it a moderator. It only needs to be a moderator. It doesn't need any of the
extra checkboxes.

Until you get the email saying they got the account, you have to wait.
Getting YG to send the invite has been a headache for many due to the faults
at YG. Granted currently things are so messed up at YG, they are not able to
execute the transfer process to grab the content from YG. So you won't get
the green button to 'go ahead' until they see that YG is working enough to
transfer parts.

It means you haven't completed all the steps. See?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/24896?and be sure to do everything in order.
