Chats are like temporary subgroups.? Most folks use them as an IRC for a discussion that doesn't need to be on the group.? Anything posted there isn't sent out as an email.? Only one of my groups has them enabled because that's the only one that has a use for them.

In the main group one can set it up so that a new member is moderated for x number of messages. In my situation I chose the 2 message option. For a subgroup, the Settings also have an option for moderating new members. I again chose 2 messages. My question is this:
If I have it set up so that a new member has to be moderated for the first two messages in the main group, and the same for a subgroup,
1) does a member have to pass the subgroup new member criteria even though the member passed the main group criteria,
2) or is it the case that a member has to pass the subgroup criteria only if the member never submitted two messages to the main group to pass the main group criteria?

I think the easiest way would be to use a simple text editor that has a Replace function to do it manually.? (I'm not familiar with Mac, but Windows has Notepad that will do it.)? Open the file with the text editor, delete the first line, use the Replace function as you said to replace all of the spaces with the "," and save the file.? Then load it into a spreadsheet and do your sorting/printing.

p.s., also in Settings one option for Chats is 'Chats is disabled'. If Chats are the same as messages, why would an option exist to disable it since messages are the basis of discussions and a discussion is the basis for the existence of groups.io? I must be missing something here.

If you're loading information into the database, then you'll need to set Edit Rows to Members for them to be able to change it, but they will be able to edit any row.? They can only edit rows they've entered with the 'Moderators, the Table Owner, and the Row Owner' choice.? I think you may have an in-between situation that isn't fully covered.

I was looking through just 'some' of the Site Updates Mark reports on, and I don't know how he finds enough hours in a day to keep this site running. Between fixing Bugs, Changes,?SYSADMIN, New, Internals, Security, Beta, and anything else involved in keeping Groups.io running, not including all the Transfers of groups to here, makes me glad I'm retired! From what I've read, it appears he does this all by himself too. If Mark is making any money doing this, he surely deserves it.

applescript to parse csv display name into 2 fields?

Mac user here.

?

I manage a 100+ member group.? We have monthly meetings and I use the members “download” option to generate a sign in sheet for the meetings. ?

?

We require members to use their real first and last names as their Display Name.? The problem is, this is one field and when I load the csv file into numbers it puts the first and last name in one field.? I can then only sort by first name.? This is causing chaos at our sign in tables!!!

?

Here is a sample of the csv file?(I've bolded what I want to change)

?

"Email","Display Name","Username","Joined","Status(0=Normal,1=Pending,2=Banned)","Post Status(0=Normal,1=Moderated,2=NotAllowed)","Email Delivery(0=Single,1=Digest,2=Special,3=None)","Message Selection(0=All,1=Follow Only,2=Follow Only And First)","Auto Follow Replies","Mod Status(0=None,1=Moderator,2=Owner)","User Status(0=Not Confirmed,1=Confirmed,2=Inactive,3=Bouncing,4=Bounced)"

"xxx@...”,”Jane Doe“,””,”8/2/2017",0,0,0,0,蹿补濒蝉别,0,1

"xxx@...”,”Rodger Rabbit”,”狈颈驳丑迟翱飞濒蝉","8/2/2017",0,0,0,0,蹿补濒蝉别,2,1

"xxx@...","Thomas Jefferson“,””,”8/10/2017",0,0,0,0,蹿补濒蝉别,0,1

?

If I can get the csv file to look like this, I can sort by last name in numbers:

?

"Email","Display Name","Username","Joined","Status(0=Normal,1=Pending,2=Banned)","Post Status(0=Normal,1=Moderated,2=NotAllowed)","Email Delivery(0=Single,1=Digest,2=Special,3=None)","Message Selection(0=All,1=Follow Only,2=Follow Only And First)","Auto Follow Replies","Mod Status(0=None,1=Moderator,2=Owner)","User Status(0=Not Confirmed,1=Confirmed,2=Inactive,3=Bouncing,4=Bounced)"

"xxx@...”,”闯补苍别”,”顿辞别“,””,”8/2/2017",0,0,0,0,蹿补濒蝉别,0,1

"xxx@...”,”搁辞诲驳别谤”,”搁补产产颈t”,”狈颈驳丑迟翱飞濒蝉","8/2/2017",0,0,0,0,蹿补濒蝉别,2,1

"xxx@...","罢丑辞尘补蝉”,”闯别蹿蹿别谤蝉辞苍“,””,”8/10/2017",0,0,0,0,蹿补濒蝉别,0,1

?

?

I know how to fix this.? Write a script to do the following:

?

ignore the first row.

for every subsequent row change all spaces to “,”? .

?

BUT, I’ve never written a script!? I’ve poked around and figured our it will be in AppleScript using the Script Editor.? I’ve found some tutorials (did an easy one) and think with time (lot’s of time!) I could work it out BUT if someone has already done this could you share your code with me?

?

Regards, Gina

In the link you provided
/static/pricing#what-is-counted-towards-the-storage-limits-for-my-group
the table lists Chats as a Feature and has a check mark for each of the three columns (Basic, Premium, and Enterprise). If Chats are the same as Messages and messages have no space limit (as stated at the end of the table) then instead of a check mark for Chats it should say 'Unlimited' like they do for some of the other features. So, by my way of thinking, either Chats are different than messages, or check marks were mistakenly entered for Chats instead of saying they are 'Unlimited'.

Chats are no different than messages.? I don't see anything saying otherwise?

Nancy,

i added a “colored box after members name” to wiki. Could someone
complete/correct the actions needed for me?

Ok, I've started to fill it in a bit. I'll post again, and link to it from the home page when I've completed a first pass at it.
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Status-Badges-in-the-Members-List

Firefox has a new feature, you can grab screen captures in the browser without needing other tools - makes it convenient to copy graphics from one page, like those badges in the members list, then paste them directly into the Wiki page.

I'll bet you can use it when composing messages (on site) too.

Duane,
Thanks for the link. I see messages themselves are not counted toward the storage limit, but it appears Chats are. What is the difference between a Chat and a message?
Stan

Norm,

I created a message to my trial group. The first time I posted
it, the message showed up in my site message list, but did not
go out as an email.

...
Thanks. It was not in spam. I was also asked to allow it and the
sender first.

I'm confused by this. You were asked by your email service? If your email service asked you to allow the message and sender then it must have actually been sent out by Groups.io.

Stan,

I attempted to invite [email protected] to a yahoo discussion group,
but I get a message that says "Sorry, an error occurred while loading
the content."

To combat the uncertainty over whether the invitation was actually sent or not, the transfer agent started sending an acknowledgement to the Y!group's -owner address. Given the backlog, the acknowledgement may arrive days ahead of the transfer agent accepting the invitation.

I believe "content" is the [email protected] email address I entered
in the dialogue box to invite members.

I think actually that error message usually refers to the content of the scrolling area of the page. In the case of an Invite it would likely have been the results list that it couldn't load, which would ordinarily replace the fill-in forms.

Will [email protected] respond to a personal email message to join?

Not yet, but it is being considered. See Mark's reply I cited above.

Your message to this group came so there must be something odd about your group setup or your email.?

Are you sending an email or posting from your group site? If email, are you sending to the correct address?

Very puzzling.?

Add Rows= Moderator and table owner, Edit Rows=Members

Looks like you're nearly there.? I think you'll want to change that to Add Rows=Members so each member can fill in a row (or more).? Then you'll change Edit Rows to 'Moderators, the Table Owner, and the Row Owner'.? That would allow each member to change their row(s), but no others.? Allowing Members to edit rows will allow them to edit any row, not just theirs.
