Subscribing...

Here's the patch that Code Upgrade (http://drupal.org/project/coder) spits out for the 6.x.2.2 release.

Needs lots of love, but lots of it is documented by Coder, just look for the TODO marks.

Any news about porting OG forums to D7? Would be great to work with group forums...

I think we have to work without this module in D7. How?

• We have to convert topics in private forums to "nodes in group". I don't know how to do it in batch.
• Use Views to list topics in user's groups. In the view you can add field with node's group and set "group by" for this field.

easy :-)

Just noticed that this module is now abandoned due to an unfixed security flaw. So unless someone steps up to take over maintenance we will indeed need to figure out how to live without it.

BrightBold: Thank you for suggestion, I know this brand new feature. :-) But I want follow this issue.

+1 seems an invaluable feature.

Bobik,

I was thinking the very same and will be working on this over the next few days.

In theory:

- clone the forum content type and rename it "group_forum"
- make this a group content type
- create new page or content pane in views to group these per group
- theme view in line with your main forum

...........will report back.

Ok I got it working using the following URL:

content/groups/group-name/forum

This now displays all forum topics for that group.

However, the only thing I cannot get working is to have this only viewable by the group members....

Still working.

Well, I could not get the above to work as I wanted.

If anyone would like to chip in then feel free.

I have come up with quite a simple solution though using the above - the forum is displayed on the group page.

All permissions are working correctly - if a user does not have group membership then the forum is completely invisible :)

You can add images into a forum post so no major loss here - a pretty good workaround.

@dRaz: can you post the module as a zip file here in this queue? The last master seems to be from February...
Also; did you in fact address the security advisory that blocked this from further development?

Anyway, this project is listed as "abandoned" so if you want to, you can claim maintainership so you can post your code as real "-devs". That way you can more easily get more attention and help from the community.

@Bobík: That's what the "follow" button does...

@all: Just as an FYI, I've finally gotten moving on Artesian Forum and expect the initial commit within the next few days. It's still a long way from being production ready so this isn't of any use if you need a solution Right Now. But, if you are able to wait, one of my goals is to provide OG integration.

Hi Taxoman,

Sorry but I have not created a module here.

I have created a forum per group using views and theming.

Shaun

Restrict access to some group forums with a own view should work, but is the access to that forums denied for all non members? For example with a direct access with the correct URL?

Best way is to create your own forum using views and have the group call your view and display only if a member.

You can use the "forum topic" display tytpe for the view and theme it just like an advanced forum forum.

ah, ok, I had not read #15 carefully enough to "get" that the point was using views.

To be fair, it isn't clear from that post :)

Does this solution mean that you need to create a new forum for each group or is everything maintained by the group admin?

"OG Forum D7" is what we want, I think.
