Pages on Groups - how to make them more visible

Today I wanted to add a page to one of our groups.

I had seen right at the bottom of the groups pages that this could be done.

Happily added the content and great I had a page.

But, how does someone who is casually visiting the group get to see the page?

It is happily lurking down the very bottom of the group and very determined to find it.

So I wonder if anyone has a solution how to make pages on groups more visible?

I guess you could add them to the groups text box.

But the problem is we have used that for something else!

(seperate question - is their anyway to add another text box to a group?)

So would love to find a solution

Best

Andrew

Andrew,

I think I answered the Group Text Box question in another discussion you started. Basically, instead of adding a lot of special code to Custom Code Box, which would be difficult to edit, I'm suggesting you simply add a horizontal rule after your existing Group Text Box content, and continue adding content.

On the question about moving group page links to top, I'm scratching my head on this. I know I added this to VIP Club, but I can't find it. Even when I go to create again, my title comes up in memory, lol. All I can guess? There must have been an issue and I deleted the discussion. I have added again, and will let you report back if there are issues:

Move Group Pages Module To Top - Below Group Description

Best,

Hi Jen

I thought you might have replied to the Group text Box discussion - you normally do but I didn't get an email to say you had and I am sure when I looked a reply wasn't there.

Multiple apologies!

Its a really good idea about the horizontal line. Don't know why I didn't think of that!

And of course the same idea applies everywhere!

Doh! I am sure I must have done that in the old days!

Will give your other tip the once over and report back!

Best to you as always
