Re: Embedding a sign up form in my Squarespace website
Bruce, that's very impressive. It even works for free groups without API access. I may borrow it when our group's website moves to a new platform where PHP is supported. Just one thought. How about

Re: Embedding a sign up form in my Squarespace website
Maybe not all is lost, it could be even simpler than the PHP script by using just HTML; add a form with an email text box and a button, and have the button invoke a regular HTML mailto: link with the

Re: free group question

Re: Navigation buttons missing

Jean -- Something definitely funny going on. I don't see a problem with the navigation when set to 100 items per page. I highly recommend that you turn off infinite scroll in your account preferences

This is definitely new. We all had no problem before going from one page of our directory to the next, but now some of us cant get past the first page. Up top it says "showing 199 of 199 members," but

Re: Navigation buttons missing

I don't see the problem with Safari. You are talking about the member directory, right? Seeing that depends on whether or not you are in the directory. It also depends whether you have enabled the

Re: Embedding a sign up form in my Squarespace website
I may be speaking out of turn, but it sounds like the goal is to use a Basic GIO group as an email listserve only, while making it appear to be hosted on the local web server. In such a case it might

Re: Embedding a sign up form in my Squarespace website
So it transpires Squarespace doesn't supports PHP which is a real shame as that seemed like the perfect solutions for our needs Back to the drawing board...

Re: Embedding a sign up form in my Squarespace website
I very much second that; I don't think doing it that way is right from either the potential member's point of view or from Groups.io's point of view either. I also agree with Bruce's comments

Re: Embedding a sign up form in my Squarespace website
I honestly think that's a bad idea, and I personally wouldn't recommend doing that, as it bypasses GIO's group approval mechanisms, and the word will go out in their circles and every spammer/scammer

Re: Embedding a sign up form in my Squarespace website
That feature cannot be achieved without API function calls. Well, it really isn't the same thing. You're asking for a feature that allows signup to a group that resides on a different server/domain.
