Need to add to and modify the footer of each message
|
Jim,
Can you tell me how to add to and modify the footer that is appendedThe first item in the Message Formatting section of your group's Settings page is a text box where you can enter a group-specific addition to the message footers. See here for examples of what it looks like. Approximately, the footers have been changed a bit this week, but the page hasn't yet been updated to match. /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/Footers#Group-specific-addition-to-the-footer I would like to add a link to the files section for the group, theEnter the plain text URL of the links. In HTML formatted messages that will be automatically converted to a link (as shown in the example). In plain text messages it will be passed as plain text (of course), whether it displays as an active link depends on the receiving member's email interface. I also some a comment in one of the messages this weekend that spokeSeems to be working fine on my messages, at least as I see them. We may need more detail on the circumstances to understand what's happening. Are you looking in the group's Messages section, or in your email interface? What email interface? Any special settings? I seem to recall that there may have been a bug with viewing formatted messages in plain text, but I thought that had been fixed.

Can that be done?? How?See Admin->Settings->Message Formatting->Message Footer. I would like to have an html editor here, so we can create real links; but at this time you can only insert the full URL as plain text and cross your fingers that each recipient's email client will "linkify" it for you.? Another thing to keep in mind is that any links to your files or photos sections will NOT WORK unless the subscriber is already logged in (they will be redirected to the login page). Clicking a link that takes you someplace you don't expect to go may be more confusing than helpful. A link to an external web site should work fine, however.??

I go into my account in groups.io and add a signature block and enable itHave you enabled it for "Use Signature For Email Posting" or only "Use Signature For Web Posting"?? Don't forget that it's part of your Subscription (left menu) settings for each group.? What you set for this group won't be the same on another group unless you set it that way.

Jim, I looked at that link but I do not see any specifics other than inserting some text.? Do I need to use html coding to insert the url or is it just typed out as normal text then hope that it gets converted to html hot link? ?I wrote:? Enter the plain text URL of the links.

In plain text messages it will be passed as plain text (of course), whether it displays as an active link depends on the receiving member's email interface. ? The problem I have been running into is that I go into my account in and add a signature block and enable it but it does not appear in messages that I might post. ?Signatures are an entirely different thing that the group footer. ? A footer addition for all group messages is done through the group's Settings page. A signature for your messages is done through your Subscription page. Am I to assume that my email client is responsible for that and nothing to do with settings I might have chosen?? My email client is Thunderbird. ?I use Thunderbird ?as well as Gmail web interface. Either can add a signature to my messages. But then that signature is applied to any message I send to any recipient. An advantage of the Signature feature in your Subscription page is that it is specific to the group receiving your posts. I use my Subscription page to add the signature about getting help because that signature is only appropriate to GMF. ?Unlike ?the group footer, the edit box for your Signature allows formatting. ? I have not tried doing a message via web to see if it adds it then. ?You can have it either way or both: Shal ? -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |
