Hello, Hiro,
Some quick thoughts here (I'm currently working on a project with a quasi-looming deadline, so this is more concise than perhaps is needed
Hi Bill, Thank you so, so, so much for your continuous help. I will try to make this quick as possible :-)
This assumes, of course, that these students will not need to access/interact within the site.
At this point, I would like to try having former students posting if they are into helping the new students. This might be a bad idea, but I think I would like to try.
If you don't need to separate them, then I'd advise keeping one group.
I think so too. I made one group with sections by OG taxonomy. This should work for separating students group, right? One problem is Registration Key. I don't think I can assign a key per taxonomy. I guess I have to create a mandatory profile field on the reg page. Another question is if I won't get any problem mass-emailing per section? I haven't explorer notification module yet. I just wanted to make sure if notification will work fine this way down the road.
Okay -- now I think I understand this: make your existing curriculum into a book. Then, install the Book Manager and the Book Copy modules (possibly you will only need Book Copy).
Wow! Cool! It just so mazes me people on this forum knows a lot of useful modules, those which are pretty difficult to find for user like me. The good news is, everything is contained in books.
However, I don't know of any way to mass-assign nodes into groups (with the obvious exception of direct db inserts, but that path leads only to sadness and heartache).
Ooops. Hm. Can it be done manually without hacking the db? At least I need to separate/hide Class_1, which I already created tons of contents last semester, from the Class_2 group I am about to create. This is most scary. What can I do to solve this issue?
Also, at the risk of stating the obvious, set up a test site to try these various methods on
Yup. I do have dev env on my MacBook Pro. I do local dev for my other sites (shown in my sig), but not for this site for my classes. The problem is that this particular ISP won't let me upload db. This is what you get when you get cheap. Moving along OG, I got so confused that I was afraid it won't be possible for me to reproduce the local settings on my live site so I started to do it on the live site. Yes, I should change my ISP. I know :-(
