Challenge: I have 100 users in a group. I wish to allow admin and/or group moderator to send a message to all members at one time. If the admin, moderator or group member composes a conversation each recipient must be selected individually - no "no send conversation to group" option can be found. Question 1: Is broadcast the current EasySocial solution for admin and moderators? Question 2: It also appears group members can not access broadcast - is this correct?
In my current ES version 1.3.28 I have these issues. Question 3: Have these issues been fixed in 1.4?
I have tried both broadcast notification and toast for these issues below.
a. sending a broadcast to a select profile - nothing sends.
b. in settings I have enabled sticky pop-ups for testing - nothing pops-up requiring me to close the pop-up.
c. when I select "share with my friends" from the blue share button - then share, nothing sends.
If I return to the broadcast - I see a padlock in the lower left corner of the broadcast message - indicating shared only with me...that is not the option I selected. If I click on the padlock and select share with friends, then message is properly sent.
I would even prefer to allow users, in select groups, have the ability to send a message or to select the "group" just like selecting users in the conversation feature. Question 4: is it possible to enable user access to this ability. I realize the admin or moderators can setup a group discussion, but we prefer in this case a conversation that users can initiate that pushes a notification to email.
One feature I thought was available in EasySocial was Group Conversations. See EasySocial>Conversations>Enable Group Conversations. The tool-tip indicated this feature determines if users on the site are allowed to setup group conversations. The only thing I can find that appears to be a group conversation is the following method:
If I compose a conversation, I can select participants one at a time i.e. type a name add a user - type another name add a user etc. Question 5: Is this the capability enabled in settings>conversations>enable group conversations?
Suggestions how to enable groups to create conversations?
