toggle visible groups under a topic?

[leon]

Hi all,

Here is a thought:

Gnus hide the groups with no tick, dormant, new articles. When I want to
post to a hidden group. I usually hit 'L' and look for the group and
post to it. Is there a better way?

Can anyone cook a elisp function to toggle visible groups under current
topic in group buffer.

Thank you.

You can prevent a group to hide by adding a (visible . t) in its
parameters (G p).

If the parameters are nil, use a ((visible . t)).

HTH.

I use this in my [EMAIL] topic. But for the [NEWS] it will make the
buffer too messy. Anyway, thanks.

Don't you think a command to hide/unhide groups under a topic is
useful?

Cheers,
Leon

I use `j' a lot:

,----[ `C-h k j' ]
| j runs the command gnus-group-jump-to-group
|    which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-group.el'.
| It is bound to j, <menu-bar> <Groups> <Move> <Jump to group...>.
| (gnus-group-jump-to-group GROUP &optional PROMPT)
| 
| Jump to newsgroup GROUP.
| 
| If PROMPT (the prefix) is a number, use the prompt specified in
| `gnus-group-jump-to-group-prompt'.
| 
| [back]
`----

Bye, Reiner.

Type 'j' and enter the group name explicitly (with tab completion)?

Huh, there doesn't seem to be one built in...

C-u RET on the topic heading?

It's the same as 'L' which opens all the groups under all topics.
