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@mysite.com when the mail is sent out to group members. Just
like in the
form: support@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?
Thanks,Moses
