Freegle Direct & Facebook specific problems

 Moderator Questions.

Q. How do I deal with Wall posts?

A. You can use the auto responder. Go to your group settings and tick the box for this.

If you want to reply yourself then either reply underneath their post or click on their profile pic and send them a message.

Q. I am sending out requests for locations to Facebook users but they never reply.

A. They will not receive the emails, unless you are sending out to a membership which has been assigned.

Those in pending are never assigned, nor the remainer of the 10 pre approved memberships help by the app.

Others, you can use the up to date Moderator plug in to find their email address if they have been allocated. You can then mail them directly or through the app. 

Q. Can I mail FB/FD members?

A. See the answer above.

Q. How can I see their email addresses?

A. By using the up to date Moderator plug in and making sure it refreshes daily. Click on the Freegle button on the 1st page.

A. By going to the app settings page and scrolling to the bottom of the page. There is a function to mail list to owner.

Q. I have downloaded the member list and can't understand it?

A. Copy it and paste it into a spreadsheet. Click on Dats and choose text to columns. Use the comma as a delimiter. It should then be nice and tidy.

You can keep it and add columns for further information if you like. 

Q. How do I change my groups settings?

A.If you have a Facebook account you need to click on the post box, and then on edit group settings. You will go to the app and can amend them. Remember to save them and to return the verification email.

A. Direct. If your group is only using Freegle Direct, you need to keep a note of your groups settings page. If you haven't done so. Log in and click on the group tab.

There will be a number at the end put this number at the end of the group url.  https://direct.ilovefreegle.org/republisher_group_settings.php?groupid=000    000 will be whatever number your group has been allocated.  CHeck????

Q. How do I ban an FB user?

A. You can't pre ban people. You can ban them once they have liked the page.

From your Page:
Click the like this link or Insights tab in the left-hand column.
Click See Likes in the top-right corner. For Pages with the new timeline design, open your admin panel and click See All in the New Likes section.
Select the X next to the name of the person you wish to ban.
Check the Ban Permanently box.
Click Okay.
From a Wall (timeline) post:
Click next to a post by the person you wish to ban
Click Delete Post...
Select Delete and Ban User
From a comment:
Click the X next to a comment by the person you wish to ban
Select Delete Comment...
Choose Delete and Ban User
You can always view a list of the people banned from your Page via the See Likes link on the Likes tab of your Page Insights or the See All link next to New Likes in your admin panel. Simply select the Banned filter from the top-left dropdown menu after clicking the link.

To clear them from the app you need to take them off your Yahoo gorup and when  you next update your settings, via the Mod plug in they will be removed.
