Hi all,

This week's change log:


Feel free to reply to this topic if you'd like to comment on the
changes. Or better yet, if you expect a lot of discussion start a new
topic (or rejoin an existing one) about a specific change.

NEW/TESTING: You can define a Display Template to specify how database
tables are displayed. This is in limited testing for the moment.

This might be interesting. Anyone here in the limited test?


Comments about these others are also welcome:

NEW: Photo search.
CHANGE: Cleaned up and modernized all the photos pages.
CHANGE: Ignore any autoreply headers if the message is to an email
integration (normally we would drop those messages).
BUGFIX: Fixed the email address and URL in the bounce message for
messages sent to enterprise groups where you are not subscribed.
NEW: New database column type 'HTML Paragraph'.
SYSADMIN: Replaced a badly behaving webserver.
SYSADMIN: Updated nsqd on all machines.
INTERNAL: More infrastructure work to make it easier to bring up new
machine instances.
CHANGE: Cap images at a max of 10k per side, regardless of group
setting.

Please call out any you find significant.

NEW: New database column type 'HTML Paragraph'.

Can anyone explain to me how the different types change a database?

Don

Don,

Can anyone explain to me how the different types change a database?

I'm not expert in the use of Groups.io's Database feature, but the different column types are designed to hold different types of data, and not just treat everything the same (plain text) as was true in Y!Groups database.

This affects the way a user enters data into the field, in Add Row or Edit Row, and the way the data is displayed.

There's some step-by-step info here, including a list of the types with
a brief description of each:

Re: "how the different types change a database" - not sure what you mean?

Each column can hold a different 'type' of data.? There previously was no way to have formatted text (think of putting new lines where you want and having indents and bold text etc).
The new HTML paragraph type allows formatted text in a column.??
Note: if you have an existing database with a column of type "Paragraph", changing it to "HTML Paragraph" will clear all the data from the column.? I imagine it does that for any data type change.
