Re: DISABLING THE MUTING OF THREADS

 

Richard,

Group members only mute receipt in their own mailbox. It does not affect delivery to other members nor does it stop the appearance of the topic or posts on the group site. It allows members to manage the flow of email to their inbox.

I do suggest you disallow ¡°no mail¡± as an option, if you haven¡¯t already done so. I have also set groups I started to the options that send only the first email in a thread and then allow members to opt into (¡°follow¡±) a topic.

Direct add not complete after 4 days

 

Monday I did a direct add to our group ?( nbtpchoir ) and received confirmation that it was approved and individuals would be notified. However there are still no individual members added. Does it normally take this long?

Thank You?

Hallo Bruce,
I found a? ".pull-right{float:right!important} " in the bootstrap.css in the ...wiki_files file.

The bootstrap.css has been minified so it is difficult to read. You could maybe get a straight version from Bootstrap v3.3.6 (http://getbootstrap.com)

hth,
OK,
Tony

I found a Universal .css file that has the classes you can use to format your wiki pages. It is now available in files as bootstrap.min.css, for those of you who know css. You cannot edit the css source but you van use what's listed.

Resurrecting an old thread...is this style sheet still in use? Does anyone have it in a human-readable form...one with line breaks and such inserted so I can actually use it?

In my experience the wiki page editor refuses to recognize {float:right} and many other such "radical" constructs. If we can't use inline styles the least that could be done is to provide a copy of the sheets that we
can use.

DISABLING THE MUTING OF THREADS

Richard Bartholomew
 

Hi,

I have just created my first group and wish to be able to switch off a
member's ability to mute a topic as this is not desirable for this private
group. Is it possible to do this, please?

I see there is a link at the bottom of each message to allow this but, to
date, haven't been able to find a way of either disabling it or editing the
footer to remove the link!

Thanks for any advice

Richard Bartholomew

How do I close out a poll??


Re: Multiple photos on group homepage

 

Bruce,

I didn't get a chance to save the edit. As soon as I released the mouse button, Chrome rendered the image in the browser window and displayed its path and filename in the address bar. Maybe holding down CTRL or ALT or something would work...didn't try it.

Or maybe just copy and paste. I guess I should pay attention next time and make a tutorial of it.

Better still, Mark should get around to putting the Add Pictures button on the formatting toolbar, to be consistent with Messages.

Re: Multiple photos on group homepage

 

Bruce,

I tried the drag-and-drop trick and all that did was display the image in my (Chrome) browser.

I don't know if that was a Firefox versus Chrome thing, or something to do with where the images were copied from, but in my case the photos pasted in with data: (inline) URLs.

Oops. The repository of files and photos in your group may not be the best place after all.?Be sure to store the images somewhere that is publicly accessible.?I logged out of groups.io...and the photo I'd just added to our Description now appears as a broken link.?

Re: Access to subgroups

 

According to all the documentation, and other's experience, you must be a member of the parent group before you can join a subgroup there.

Access to subgroups

 

I own a restricted group with private archives. This group has a subgroup which has public archives, no moderation and an open membership. Could anyone., especially not a member of the parent group,? join it and post messages despite the parent group having restricted membership and private archives?

Re: Multiple photos on group homepage

 

Looking at this group:?/g/HallicraftersRadios
?
The banner photo across the top is three photos edited into one. Open it in a new tab or drag it out, and you¡¯ll see it is a single image.
?
The other photos are regular image tags in the group description. Each one of those is a separate image. Resize your browser window to be wider or narrower, and you¡¯ll see them jump around.

The only special image is the banner across the top. You can see that in groups that I manage:

That looks to be entirely within the Group Description body. The ruling line between the text and the photos is something you can insert.

Here are some others with an image in the Description body:

Jay,

You can drag and drop images into the Description composition window on your group's Settings page.

If you have some HTML skill you can also use the "Source code" mode to insert <img> tags and to style them.

Beyond that, Enterprise groups have a "Fully customizable home page". I don't know what that means (I don't have any groups on the enterprise plan) but it likely would include the ability to place images in more locations.

Go to Admin->Members. Find and open their member record. Pull down the "Role" menu and change it. For Moderators, set permissions using the checkboxes.
