I feel like I should clarify this. That should really say "could be addressed...". At the same time, I can see where it could be interpreted as a suggestion (though Mark approved it as a bug) - make the information more clear to the user that they need to apply after logging in when they already have an account.

I also feel like I need to apologize for possibly giving the impression that I was speaking for GIO in my reply. It was a personal opinion and I didn't state that.

Dynamic sizing of monthly calendar view #suggestion

Andy Wedge

#24417

In many cases when looking at the calendar in Monthly view mode the entire bottom line of the grid is actually for the following month. I suspect this is due to the grid size being fixed at 7x6 so it is just being filled in rather leaving empty spaces.

Can this be changed so it doesn't display any more lines than needed for the month you are viewing?

File uploaded dates incorrect #bug

Andy Wedge

#24416

Hi,

it seems the majority of my files are showing an uploaded date of 7-Feb (2020) when they were actually uploaded in 2019. I'm wondering if it had something to so with a #changelog entry from 12-Jan:

CHANGE: Display the updated date in the 'Uploaded' column in the files section.

Many of these files won't have been updated since they were created (uploaded) in Groups.io so there would be no updated value to display. In which case I think the creation date should be used.

AFTER they log in, they should click the Apply for membership button. All appears to be working as it should be. BTW, this is the type of question that should be addressed on GMF since it's not a bug, nor a suggestion.

Our group ICS file is not writing any info to it since the update. Is there a new setting for export or something I missed?

If this still doesn't work after the fix I just pushed, please send a new report to beta.

Thanks, Mark

After deleting member, that member can't request re-subscription (gets "That email addr already registered") #bug

1. Member is deleted by owner using the web interface.
2. The former member goes to the group home page and clicks "Apply for membership in this group"
3. Upon entering their email address and clicking "Confirm Email Address", they get an error:

That email address is already registered. To use it, Log In.

If they click the "Log In" link they are prompted for a password, then logged in but have "no subscriptions".

I've just pushed a fix for an encoding bug in the Organizer line of ICS files. That was causing the files to error out of G-cal. I don't have access to Confluence, so I can't test that. Please let me know if this fixes the issue.

Thanks,

Include owner emails and notifications in moderators' email delivery history #suggestion

J_Catlady

#24410

This morning I wanted to check whether one of my mods received notification that someone had joined the group, so naturally, I checked their email delivery history, only to discover that these notifications, even though they are emails delivered, are not logged as such. I think they should be.

Subscriptions to Gio Calendars No Longer Syncing #bug

Kenny Paul

#24409

ISSUE: Subscriptions from Gio calendars from both G-cal and Confluence have suddenly stopped working for some of our lists and the events have disappeared from people's calendars.

TIMING: The reports of failures from community members started coming in shourtly after the Jan 31 update. https://groups.io/g/updates/message/118

DEBUGGING INFO:
- These were all existing subscriptions that have been syncing correctly for more than a year. I have verified that the meetings still exist on the Gio calendar and are unchanged.

- Attempts to remove the old subscriptions and resubscribe using the link generated by Gio have not worked. Confluence produces the error "Specified calendar does not seem like iCalendar." when the link produced by Gio is pasted into the subscription url.

- Subscription attempts from newly created Gio calendars produce the same error.

- I found a link describing the error, in the context of a Confluence subscription to a G-cal. I don't have the necessarry perms to attempt the debugging suggested. -

Unsubscribing a Member via Membership List #suggestion

Leeni

#24408

Right now when you unsubscribe a member using the membership list and after you click on remove, you get a verifying pop up asking you if you want to unsub that member. Would it be possible if the member's user name or email can be added to that verification pop up so you know you are removing the correct member from the group. Thanks Leeni

Site updates #changelog

Mark Fletcher

#24406

Changes to the site this week:

CHANGE: Previously, we would force a digest to be created at 10:30pm Pacific Time nightly, if one had not been generated in the previous 6 hours and messages had been sent to the group since the last digest. Now, we force a digest to be created at 6AM local time for each subscriber, based on their timezone, if a digest had not been generated in the previous 6 hours and messages had been sent to the group since the last digest.
CHANGE: When creating a new group or changing the name of an existing group, change the error message when the group name is already taken to That address is not available..
CHANGE: Hardcode some IP addresses associated with chinamobile.com because reverse DNS lookups on them fail randomly.
BUGFIX: The command to update whether a topic was locked/moderated/etc in the search index was failing because the syntax changed between Elasticsearch versions. Fixed the command and re-indexed the message archive.
BUGFIX: When joining a new group, the membership parameters could not be modified from that page.
INTERNAL: Upgraded to Go 1.14 compiler.
NEW: Database columns now have a Default Hidden checkbox.
NEW: Database tables now have ID Default Hidden and Updated Default Hidden checkboxes.
API: Added default_hidden field to the Database Column object.
API: Added id_default_hidden and updated_default_hidden fields to the Database Table object.
BUGFIX: Wrong logo used for Google Drive.
API: Removed the invalid posterid error from /searcharchives to allow people to search for messages from people who are no longer members of the group.
API: Added body field to message_search_result object.
NEW: Member Directory Search.
API: Added /searchmemberdirectory endpoint.
BUGFIX: When deleting attachments to make space, we were not taking into account space used by files and photos, so we ended up deleting fewer attachments than we should have.
BUGFIX: Fixed pagination when searching on members.
SYSADMIN: Added an additional hot standby instance of the main database server.
CHANGE: In the UI, changed hash tags to hashtags for consistency.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Still no search button in Landscape mode. Note the SEARCH feature works fine in MEMBERS LIST.

If the display is too narrow, the Search button disappears. At the same time, the "member boxes" will only be one wide. (I do believe this is a mistake.) As long as the screen is at least 2 boxes wide, the Search is there. Have you tried landscape mode? Might still be too narrow, but I haven't checked.

Re: Digest change #update

Ann Wild

#24402

Thanks, Mark. This is great change to 6 AM local time. We had previously been getting the digest at 3:40 AM EST, which didn't fit with the fact that you sent it out at 10:30 PM PST. The new time will fix any difficulties with overflow messages if we have a digest during the day. No temptation to post at midnight or later :-).

Re: Ability to send later from web interface #suggestion

Robert Kingett

#24401

That's a great idea, but I use the calendar to announce, and remind, people of in person speaking engagements and book signings and otherwise. Plus, I'd like the ability to time a quick update without the email subject filled with, well, calendar prefixes and hashtags.

Re: Ability to send later from web interface #suggestion

Joseph Hudson

#24400

Hi Robert, why not use the calendar for this purpose. That way it goes out right when you want to. You can specify the date and time in the calendar I do believe.
