Peter,

Within the GeneralInfo wiki, I would like to have a button for ...

Being careful with terminology here.

I know you can insert links into a Groups.io wiki page, but I don't know if you can insert a "button" and make it stick. The wiki mechanism strips many formatting elements, especially active ones that might be exploited. I don't believe you can place your own javascript in a groups.io wiki page, for example.

I also see that #hashtags only have a description text. It would be
nice to put the associated wiki as a "button" somewhere in the
#hashtag, either the description or otherwise (if otherwise, I have no
clue how to do that).

There does not appear to be a way to do that. The Description is plain text only.

On the issue of the URL, I tried copying the #hashtag out of the
browser, but it apparently add spaces and is a "search" reference, not
a direct address.

I'm not sure where you want the URL to take you, but if you just want it to bring up the list of topics containing that hashtag (same as the hashtag page would do) then an URL of this form should work:
/g/GroupManagersForum/search?q=%23changelog

That is a generic search URL (could search for any word), the "%23" in there is an encoding for the # character (which can't be used in the URL directly).

Joan,

Is there any sort of notification telling us we
basically just have to wait now?

Go back to the Yahoo Groups instructions page. Down at the bottom select your Y!Group's name from the In Process list. That should bring you to a status page which may have a message at the top.

At the bottom will be your copy selections, along with an Update button in case you want to change anything before giving the final go-ahead (Step 4).

I believe that only you (logged in using the same address you were when you initiated the transfer) can see its status.

Shal
P.S.: Does anyone else here know for certain if other owners of the same Groups.io group (or the same Y!Group) can see the status of a transfer between those two groups?

Thanks Shal,
I am probably not describing this well (always a problem with email and postings).

I want to have a list of available #hashtags and the associated wikis with in depth explanations and examples associated to those #hashtags at the top of the Messages list.

I understand this is available via a "sticky wiki". ?Call that sticky wiki "GeneralInfo".

Within the GeneralInfo wiki, I would like to have a button for )as examples):
#ScheduleEvent and for the wiki ScheduleEventInfo.
#ClubInfo and the wiki ClubInfo.
#ClubDues and the wiki ClubDuesInfo.

Sort of like (I haven't worked out the final text yet):
"For more information on club activities, contact information, dues and finance, click on the the #hashtag button or read more about that club offering by accessing the wiki on that offering."
#ScheduleEvent or read more at the ScheduleEventInfo wiki. ?<--The blue text would be buttons to #hashtag and the wiki.
Etc.

Within the example ScheduleEventInfo wiki, I would like to have other direct references via a single click to other wikis.

I also see that #hashtags only have a description text. It would be nice to put the associated wiki as a "button" somewhere in the #hashtag, either the description or otherwise (if otherwise, I have no clue how to do that).

On the issue of the URL, I tried copying the #hashtag out of the browser, but it apparently add spaces and is a "search" reference, not a direct address.

I will try the wiki. ?That seems pretty straight forward and I didn't actually try that (duh) for the wiki.

Thanks again,
Pete

When viewing the member list under "Admin", there is an action option
at the bottom to set the "Email Delivery" setting for all selected
members. I was wondering if there is a way to do the same for the
"Message Selection" setting as well. We initially set up our group to
only email subscribers with topics they post or follow, but would now
like to switch everyone to be receiving all messages.

We have already changed the default setting for new users, but would
like to retroactively apply this to all current members as well.

Thank you,
Kosta

hi,?
i am a co owner of three yahoo groups and we have been exploring the transfer process to IO groups. We began with our small moderator group to test the process and smooth any rough edges we might have before moving the main big group. My question is this...after you finish the transfer process, we sort of expected a screen to pop up and tell us we had completed everything and were put in the transfer waiting line..so to speak. But nothing like that happened, so now we are wondering if we did everything right? Is there any sort of notification telling us we basically just have to wait now??
Thanks,?
Joan?

Linda,

You're recommending that we submit our requests to "beta" but I'm not
sure what this means. Is this a separate group?

Yes, it is another group. Beta is the official "suggestion box" for Groups.io and (unlike GMF) is run by Groups.io itself. Specifically, by Mark Fletcher (founder and implementer of Groups.io) himself.

I'm relatively new here, but also interested in the ability to lock in "messages" as the default view.? You're recommending that we submit our requests to "beta" but I'm not sure what this means.? Is this a separate group?? Email address?? I'm not quite sure how to get there.??

Sharon,

What happens is someone forwards a message to someone who doesn’t know
about the list. The only link to connect is with the owner.

That's a valid type of viral marketing. Though some types of groups wouldn't want to encourage members to pass around their messages (read that as: would prevent it if they could).

Personally, I think the long footers on messages don’t matter. Much
better to have the links people need to use.

You could do it using the Message Footer box in the Message Formatting section of your group's Settings page. Perhaps something like:

-----
Receive this message from a friend? You can have your own subscription! Visit us here: /g/GroupManagersForum
or send a blank email message to: [email protected]
-----

The Message Footer box is plain text, so those links must be spelled out as URLs, but they are "linkified" if the outgoing message is formatted. Oh, and use your own group's name, of course!

The introductory sentence serves two purposes: it directs the recipient to the right links, but it also suggests to the member that it is ok to forward the message to a friend that might be interested in the group.

I couldn’t figure out why I was getting so many messages to “owner" from someone who wanted to subscribe. Then I looked at the footer again:

There is no subscribe link. I have to do it myself or send them instructions. 3 this week.

What happens is someone forwards a message to someone who doesn’t know about the list. The only link to connect is with the owner.

Peter,

That led me wonder how I could expand that to reference all the other
#hashtag's and their associates wikis.

So the first confusion I'm having is that hashtags aren't associated with wikis, they're a feature of messages (topics).

My idea was to create a "master" wiki named something like
"GeneralInfo" and within that, emplace references and text that would
allow people to get a 1 sentence explanation of a given #hashtag and
"click through" to the appropriate #hashtag and/or the associated
wiki.

This GeneralInfo page sounds a little like GMF's Home wiki page, which is mostly a list of links to other Wiki pages.

But Hashtags already have an index of their own, and each hashtag can have a description. Though admittedly in GMF's hashtags the only one I've even briefly described is #admin.
/g/GroupManagersForum/hashtags
Looks like the beta group has descriptions for only about three of their hashtags:


In both groups I think that's because most of the hashtags were created implicitly by use - someone used the hashtag in a message subject. Then no one (no moderator) went back and added a description for it.

I don't see a way to define a direct wiki URL.

I'm not sure what you mean.

When you create a wiki page it is given an URL based on the Title field. After you Save the new page you can visit the page and copy it's URL out of your browser's address bar. Something like this:
/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Footers

The URL in my browser is a search algorithm if I click on a specific
#hashtag, not a URL reference.

That's what hashtags do. They don't bring you to a place, they bring you a list of the topics containing that hashtag (in the topic subject).

Any suggestions or alternatives?

I hope my answers above give you a fresh perspective, and maybe a fresh set of questions.

Well, as it turned out, the table background color was not saved. It showed the color on the WYSIWYG html editor but when I went back to the Messages page...[unpleasant surprise]...the color attribute had been stripped.

I still recommend creating some kind of Sticky Wiki page, though, to help you keep track of what group you're in. I'm looking for help on that topic too but am not finding that either, but you might want to read this thread instead.

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Hi,
I am a new moderator of a groups.io group and am trying to figure out a few things.

My apologies if sending a message is an inappropriate method to ask these questions, but I read available material, looked up this group's #hashtag sections, and played around with different test cases.

As the title suggests, I am having a few problems organizing my groups.io group.

I see that there is only 1 sticky wiki, which appears at the top of the Messages page.
That led me wonder how I could expand that to reference all the other #hashtag's and their associates wikis.
My idea was to create a "master" wiki named something like "GeneralInfo" and within that, emplace references and text that would allow people to get a 1 sentence explanation of a given #hashtag and "click through" to the appropriate #hashtag and/or the associated wiki.
I don't see a way to define a direct wiki URL. ?The URL in my browser is a search algorithm if I click on a specific #hashtag, not a URL reference.
Same thing with a wiki.

Any suggestions or alternatives?
To sum up, I am trying to have a cascading group of #hashtags and associated wikis able to redirect from one to another (e.g. wiki1 references wiki2 and wiki2 references wiki1 - with a single-click from the user).

Thanks.

Is there any way that an alternative background color can be set for each group??
As an owner of several groups, some with similar names but different functions,
I have found it too easy to click to another group and post information in error.
(As a result I am having to shift about 385 people to the correct group)
This could be solved with an alternative background color, border color, navigation menu color or
an unique Icon for that group next to the "Home" button.
ANYTHING to help distinguish what group we are working in.

You can't change the background for the entire group, but you can create a separate "sticky wiki" page for each group and change the background color of that. The "sticky wiki" appears at the top of the Messages, regardless of what view you use.

Something like this will work...hopefully you browser won't try to render it.


Hope this helps,
Bruce

Miichael,

We Moderators on our group clearly understand the end time for our group's event but quite a number of our members do not –or actively choose not to, and so continue to post after the closing time of the event.

And if you happen to be curious as to what this event is: The event in question is 24 hours on one single day per month during which we relax our posting guidelines and allow members to post most anythng on- or off-topic to our group's subject & intent. It acts as a steam vent for those members who seem to want to post off-topic stuff during the rest of the month.

OK — HTH

There are some places that Infinite Scroll just doesn't work for some reason. I've found that a good compromise is to set my preference to 50 or 100 Items. I don't have a group with that many files, so can't verify it will work there, but it does work in databases.

I reset it to 100 and that works in Files. Who knew Infinite Scroll was not universal, but the other choices are.

Thanks

How do you get the Calendar to recognize ‘Last’ Friday of each month?
That was stated in the very next sentence after what you quoted, "we manually post one notice to Open it and another to Close it on the last Friday, the date of which varies from month to month"

Duane

What was said said:
We post a Reminder Notice for it to the group several days in advance each month saying that the Event is coming up. And for the Event itself we manually post one notice to Open it and another to Close it on the last Friday, the date of which varies from month to month.

Reminders sound like Reminders of an Event in the Calendar.
The Calendar functions well for Events that are First, Second, Third, Fourth, or Fifth, but doesn’t seem to understand or have provision for “Last”.

The "we manually post one notice to Open it and another to Close it on the last Friday, the date of which varies from month to month” statement refers to Open and Close notices, which sounds like they are in addition to a Reminder that the Calendar might be sending out.

Any good reason why the concept of “Last” can’t be understood and including in the Groups.io Calendar?
It would be another way that Groups.io would be the superior email List service.

A Youtube tutorial would help non-technical users. A video tutorial could replace a ton of email exchanges with folks who have only passing familiarity with computer lingo. I am not set up for video production and I don't have much experience? with it, but if i did, I would volunteer to work on one. I think it would save me time in the long game.
Best, Marv
