Changes to the site this week:

• UPDATE: Documentation updates from Nina.
• NEW: Monthly reminder notices can now be marked to be sent as special messages.
• NEW: Added missing Notify Members checkboxes to remaining file, photo and album actions with the exception of moving files (TBD).
• NEW: Added moderator notifications and Notify Member checkboxes for adding, modifying and deleting photo albums.
• NEW: When moving a photo, added a moved photo activity log entry, Notify Members checkbox, and moderator notification.
• CHANGE: In the Activity Log, change the word dir to folder when referring to Files Sections actions to be more consistent.
• NEW: When uploading photos, there is now a text box to enter a description.
• NEW: Added a Notify Members checkbox to the edit photo page.
• BUGFIX: We were not properly escaping commas, semicolons and slashes in DESCRIPTION fields when generating calendar ICS files. Also, Google Calendar has a bug where it will ignore the entire DESCRIPTION field if there is a colon in the text, so we now replace any colons with spaces.
• API: Added /getorg endpoint.
• CHANGE: For #guidelines-notice and #monthly-notice hashtags, sync the hashtag special field to the member notice special field every month.
• NEW: Monthly reminder notices can now be marked to be sent as special messages.
• NEW: When sending out #monthly-notice messages, mimic what we do with #guidelines-notice message, create the #monthly-notice hashtag with a delete timeframe of a month, and all mods options checked.
• CHANGE: In addition to not sending moderator push notifications to moderators that generated them, also don't send email notifications as well.
• BUGFIX: Changed z-index of floating table header to be below the Your Groups dropdown.
• BUGFIX: In the new moderator notifications, we were using the person's account display name, not the individual group display name (which is generally, but not always the same).
• NEW: Include more information in album and photo group export data.
• CHANGE: In digests, we were being too aggressive in stripping quoted sections of messages out when we knew the original message was not a reply. This led to some forwarded messages in digests missing key parts.
• BUGFIX: Summaries were being sent to pending members.
• API: Changed /registerdevice endpoint to /addpushsub
• API: Added /getpushsubs, /deletepushsub, and /deleteallpushsubs endpoints.
• BUGFIX: Fix reflow issue in database table view with new floatThead.

Take care everyone.

Thanks Mark,

in addition to the list above, I can see the following:

• CHANGE: The text 'Upcoming Event' has been removed from #cal-reminder message (Suggestion #25684)
• CHANGE: The dates in the subject of calendar messages are now in local format (Suggestion #25673)

Regards,
Andy

Wow, Mark, you must have cloned yourself this week. :-)

I'm a bit confused by this one, on three points:

• A 'sync' implies two-way updates but the 'to' reference suggests a one-way update copying from the hashtag details 'to' the member notice details
• The Group Guidelines member notice does not have an option to send it as a Special Notice so what exactly is being 'sync'ed in this case?
• At what point in the month is this 'sync' supposed to take place? I'm guessing the 1st of each month as that would tie in with some other 'monthly' activities but it would be nice to get confirmation.

Thanks
Andy

Actually, it does.  4th checkbox is "Send monthly as special".  I'm a bit confused as well, because it's possible to not have that checked, but still set the hashtag #guidelines-notice to Special.  Maybe that's what this sync does, but I hope Mark will clarify it.

Andy and Duane: Have you seen the updated documentation of the Group Guidelines notice and the #guidelines-notice hashtag? If that info is unclear, please let me know.

The 4th checkbox?



Please point that out to me.

Thanks for confirming the date, it was as I suspected.

the process that sends out guidelines and monthly reminder emails first sets the special field of the #guidelines-notice and #monthly-notice hashtags to be the same setting as the `send monthly as special` setting on the appropriate member notice.

OK - so it goes the opposite direction to the way I thought it went from reading the changelog.

Ah, the 4th checkbox only appears when the 3rd one is checked!  Hmm!   This is a different approach to the First Message Also checkbox on a member's subscription page where the checkbox is visible but not available until Following Only is selected. At least you can see that an option is possible that way but on the Guidelines Notice you can't.  Consistency?

Hi Mark,

When adding a folder, the moderator notification email states 'added directory'.
When deleting a folder, the moderator notification email states 'The following files have been deleted'
When deleting a folder, the #file-notice to the group states, 'The following files have been deleted'

Waiting for a response to #25718 to view the #file-notice message when a folder is added.

Can we get some consistency here too please?

Thanks
Andy

These have been fixed.

Hi Mark,

There still seems to be a difference in the content and style of message issued for an folder upload and delete.  For a folder upload, it lists the individual files and the number of them is specified in the message subject:





For a folder delete though, the files within the folder are not listed and it suggests the folder being deleted is an individual file:




If the individual files can be listed on a folder upload, is there a reason why they cannot be listed on a folder delete?

Andy
