Ability to Submit Group Blogs to Groups

Disclaimer: I am aware that if a journal is written in Sta.sh Writer, or added to the author's personal journal, that it can be submitted to other groups. My suggestion is to expand it to those journals / blogs that are only submitted to a group, as these can not be shared.

There are a lot of great contests, giveaways, and community projects that I would love to help promote by submitting them to other groups, but this is not possible if the blog was written solely for one group.

My suggestion is to allow Group Blogs to be submitted to other groups. Since this is already possible when written in Sta.sh or submitted to a personal blog, I don't see a reason to disallow it.

Thank you!

My pleasure. Maybe it could be a further feature which is given if the group has a super group status. :-)

Submitting the Group Blogs as a group blog to other groups? That would be nice. Otherwise, Group Blogs can be submitted to other groups I think. Few have requested that on my own ones. That may be because they were written that way.

While that would also be nice, I'm particularly asking to be able to submit the blog to other groups that may feature journals, such as Groups that are geared around DA contests, projects, etc. By this I mean, being able to hit 'submit to group' on that particular blog, and submitting to another group's Deviations. Being able to submit to multiple group blogs can be done if said users are Admins of those groups, but I'm just looking to simply be allowed to promote group-only journals externally, just as I could request a deviation to be added to a group, I'd like to be able to request to add a Group's journal.

Apologies if I'm having a hard time explaining that clearly, it sounds more confusing than I mean for it to.

Uhh that can still be done. :O_o:
 You can hit submit to group and submit it to another group's deviations. Whether it needs to be admins or not I don't think that's the case. Clicking your group blog journal [link] and hitting Submit to Group, I still see the option to submit it to groups, both the ones I am an admin of and the others that I am simply a member of) to submit to their gallery folders.
Want to try doing it by submitting to :icondamnu: as a test? :)

No, no, that's not what I'm saying. I'm fully aware that I can submit my own group blogs to other groups. What I can not do is go to another person's group, and request to add their blog to a group.

To prove this, go here:
[link]

I tried submitting that blog to my group, #Good-Intention, by selecting 'Submit to Group,' selecting the group, and hitting 'Submit.' But I get the error 'You can't submit a deviation that belongs to a group.'

If a group blog is submitted only to a group and not via Sta.sh Writer, or submitted to their personal blog, it can not be shared to other groups.

Sorry for having a hard time explaining it, but does it make sense now?

Aaah. Got it now. Then that's because they decided to use the old system for submission both personally and the group system. They can do so, but since dA is moving towards sta.sh submissions for both personal and group wise submissions, and if a group submission has the option to not be able to submit outside, there's nothing that can be done on our side. Old type submission is getting replaced. So if they move all old submissions to new system, that that is possible, but otherwise I doubt it (since old deviations aren't yet moved yet). But that would indeed be nice.

Yeah, I definitely recommend everyone using Sta.sh Writer, it makes writing blogs a thousand times easier, and offers so many more features. I just wasn't sure if my particular suggestion was in regards to a bug or not, because I do believe you can request blogs that were written in the old system, so long as they were also submitted to the deviant's personal blog, so it seemed odd that those that are group-exclusive have this exemption.

Thanks for taking the time to respond so thoroughly, by the way.
