Basic Questions About Organic Groups
by Moses Elias 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

I am new to Organic Groups, and I have a couple of basic questions. If anyone could help out it would be much appreciated. 1) When I watched Zacker's famous OG tutorial video-cast, I noticed that when a new OG group is created, you can assign a mailing group name in the typical yahoogroup format, for example, xxx, which is then represented as xxx(a)mysite.com when the mail is sent out to group members. Just like in the form: support(a)drupal.org has, which this mailing list itself belongs to. Surely the drupal site is using a 6.x version flavor of Drupal, and this can be achieved in 6.x - but currently I don't see how it's done. Zacker did this when he created a new group? How can I achieve the same thing? I don't see a field where the unique group-name can be provided as input. I was told to try and use the og2list module. However, I notice that og2list isn't available for any 6.x version. Is this feature possible using a related module or maybe I've overlooked some feature? 2) When you create a new organic group, any messages sent from the organic group defaults to a mailing list style message. If I want the very same mail to appear both as a mail message sent to a group member and is also an identical forum message as well, how do I achieve that? I was told to try and use triggers/actions but I don't see exactly how this can be done. 3) What is the relationship between OG forums and OG groups. Can anyone please explain the relationship/difference between the two? Can someone also explain the difference between OG forums and regular forums? 4) How do I have a one to one relationship between an OG group that's created and an OG forum? I understand OG sends out a mail messages to all members subscribed to an OG group. But I want the same mail message that's sent out to the OG group members to also identically appear as a forum message. One to one relationship between OG group email message and OG forum message. Is that possible? 5) How do I associate only one OG group with only one OG forum? For each OG group that I create I want to have one and only one forum created. Authenticated users will be creating groups/forums on the fly so I want to limit their scope for errors. How do I link between the two of them? 6) Is it possible to moderate an OG group? In other words, any email message that is sent out under the group's name, is it possible to moderate the message if the group owner/administrator decides that this group member should be moderated?

Coherent Access Module Patch
by A-NO-NE Music 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Drupal 6.5 Coherent Access 6.x-1.0 shows the list of the private posts those which belong to someone else under My Account. This is a big problem. I then found someone's patch: http://drupal.org/node/317413 However, I have no idea what to do with this. The patch article at drupal.org seems to be aimed at published patches, while this one doesn't seems to be the same thing. Any help would be appreciated. Yes, I am PHP challenged! -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Greater Boston http://a-no-ne.com http://anonemusic.com

Forum setting question
by A-NO-NE Music 25 Oct '08

25 Oct '08

Drupal 6.5 Since I have to create an way for student to upload project files, I created a forum. This is a compromise but it serves the purpose for now. A few problems. I do not want to show this forum to public. I don't mind hiding forum all together if not logged in by Student Role, but I even can't figure out how to do this. Also I can't disable RSS icon. This is rather puzzling since I even do not enable Aggregator module. Any help would be appreciated. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Greater Boston http://a-no-ne.com http://anonemusic.com

Recent Comments Block
by A-NO-NE Music 25 Oct '08

25 Oct '08

Drupal 6.5 In the Block lists, there is Recent Comment predefined. This works with Coherent Access out of the box. When student logged in, only the comments written to the private page for that student will be shown. Very nice. The problem is that I can't find the way to limit the number of the comments and 'more' link. It will show all the comments, which can be a long list. So, I created a View, where I have the control on the number of the comments and 'more' link. But this doesn't work with Coherent Access so all the comments throughout the site will be listed even though they are not for the student who logged in. It doesn't seems to associate with Coherent Access as far as I could tell. Any help would be appreciated. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Greater Boston http://a-no-ne.com http://anonemusic.com

Need help on site for classes - student management
by A-NO-NE Music 25 Oct '08

25 Oct '08

Hello, I need to come up with a solution really quick and hoping someone could help. Drupal 6.5. I created a site for my classes I teach. 4 sections, 25 students each. I want to have each students registered, not for blog or forum, but for them to see their grade/assignment status for themselves. Is this possible? What I need is that they see their personal page upon login, where I post their grade on each quiz/assignment, and message from me when needed. I have been trying to check OG, which doesn't seems to be the right module for this, while OG page has been off line since last night. Any advice would be much appreciated. I need to get this done this weekend. -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Greater Boston http://a-no-ne.com http://anonemusic.com

Drupal Gmap module displaying grey area on Google maps
by nebodysguess＠gmail.com 25 Oct '08

25 Oct '08

Hello, I'm using Gmap module 6.x-1.0-rc2 on Drupal 6.2. I'm displaying google map on a tpl.php page with Gmap api. I'm facing the following problems: 1. The Gmap API settings given as a macro or gmap array are not obeyed properly, instead some of the settings are taken from Gmap default settings (as set on the admin/settings/gmap page ). For instance, the size of the map, type of map, etc. 2. The map displayed on the page has a grey area which persists for a long time (about 20 min) before disappearing. This is the same on IE & FF browsers, but the map is displayed fully on the admin/settings/gmap page. Thanks, Praveen

select text from list, then display in block?
by Ryan Thomson 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

Hi all This is probably simple, but I can't seem to figure it out... I'm making a site for a restaurant. They want to be able to go to a page where all possible menu items are listed, select the items for todays menu and save so only the menu items they picked would be displayed on a 'today's menu' page. Does anyone know of a module for this sort of thing or perhaps point me to some method to do this? I've been reading up all over and can't seem to wrap my head around where to begin.. Thanks all!
