Groups.io: Changelog

BUGFIX: The email sent to members directly added to a subgroup always told them the address to send email to the group, even when the subgroup was announcement-only and they couldn't post to it. That sentence is now left out for announcement-only subgroups, as it already was in the email for members directly added to a main group. The sentence also said "the groups" instead of "the group". https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41050

NEW: Subgroups in Enterprise groups can now have subgroups of their own, one level deep. A subgroup owner creates them from the subgroup's Admin > Subgroups menu, the same way subgroups are created from the main group, so a department can organize its own members without involving the main group's owners. The new subgroup's address and web address are the parent subgroup's name, two hyphens, and its own name: for example sales--europe@yourdomain.org and https://yourdomain.org/g/sales--europe. That means two different subgroups can each have, say, a europe subgroup. Elsewhere on the site these groups are shown as sales | europe. This is being turned on for Enterprise groups on request.
API NEW: /createsubgroup now accepts a subgroup as the group_id when the main group allows subgroups of subgroups, and /getsubgroups returns a subgroup's own subgroups. New bad_request errors describe why a nested subgroup can't be created: max depth, nested subgroups not enabled, nested subgroups require an enterprise org, root alias missing, and name too long.
BUGFIX: On the Subgroup Members page, the Name and Email columns stayed in place while the table scrolled sideways, so with long names or addresses they covered the subgroup columns and the table appeared not to scroll at all. Only the Name column now stays in place, long names are shortened with the full name shown on hover, and the Email column scrolls with the rest of the table.

BUGFIX: Creating the first subgroup of a group appeared to do nothing: the page stayed where it was, even though the subgroup had been created. Creating later subgroups went to the new subgroup's page, but the sidebar kept pointing at the parent group, so choosing Settings from the sidebar could lead to deleting the parent group instead of the new subgroup. Creating a subgroup now fully loads the new subgroup, sidebar included. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41321
BUGFIX: After deleting a subgroup, you were taken to whichever of your groups pages you had last visited. You're now taken to the parent group. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41322
BUGFIX: On the Create Subgroup page, if there was a problem with the address or description, the subgroup address and visibility you had entered were cleared. They are now kept, and if the address is the problem, the cursor is placed in the address field. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41322
CHANGE: When working with a subgroup, the delete button in Settings, the Delete page, and the confirmation dialog now say "Delete Subgroup" and refer to the subgroup, making it clearer which one you're about to delete. "THIS ACTION CANNOT BE UNDONE." is now also shown in bold on the Delete page. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41322

CHANGE: The Create A Subgroup introduction at the top of the create subgroup page was a plain grey box. It is now the same light-blue box as the notes on other pages. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41285
BUGFIX: On a group's subgroup categories, adding a category without a name took you to the group's home page without saving anything or explaining why. The form now stays open with "You must enter a name." and keeps what you entered. If saving, updating, or deleting a category fails, you now return to the subgroup categories page with an error message instead of the group's home page.

BUGFIX: Subgroup page breadcrumbs had missing links or page titles. They now show a linked Subgroups parent and the current page title, with corrected breadcrumb spacing. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41180
CHANGE: The sidebar shortcut to sibling subgroups is now labeled All Subgroups when viewed from a subgroup, and the subgroup directory breadcrumb identifies the main group. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41185
BUGFIX: The Subgroup Members table header lacked its gray background in light mode. The background is now restored. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41185

CHANGE: On /subgroupmembers, the Update button is disabled until there are changes to apply, and the Filter dropdown shows labels with no colour the same way /members does. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41149
BUGFIX: Removing yourself from a subgroup through the member list or member page could leave the sidebar and role badge unchanged, and parent moderators could be incorrectly labelled Parent Owner. The page now fully refreshes after self-removal, and inherited roles display the correct Parent Owner or Parent Mod badge. https://beta.groups.io/g/main/message/41177
