Hi.

How do I customise the contents and layout of the organic groups homepage under 5.x?

This may sound like a dumb question, but I've been reading documentation for days now, I've done all the 5.x tutorials I could find and I still can't find an answer. There's a bit of information around for 4.7 but nothing for 5.x. Just for starters, I can't even get og to use anything but the river of news view.

I'll quite happily turn my experiences into an article/tutorial and post it on drupal.org when I'm done.

Even a hint at what I should be looking at would be apreciated. A starting point, anything.

Thanks in advance,

Tom.

you can customize the view thats list listed on your Views admin page. See the theme docs for Views.

Here's a handy hint for any other muppets like me.

you need to click the 'add' link on the og_ghp_ron view before you can edit it.

That's been baffling me for days.

Thanks for your help. I had hard time as well, so thought of helping other dudes with what I knew here.

Req: I thought of not posting some of the nodes like images, to top of a group home page.

I used CCK and added custom field, promote_to_group_top, in admin/content types

Go to admin/views/

"you need to click the 'add' link on the og_ghp_ron view before you can edit it."
Give a unique name, og_ghp_ron_cust.

Set URL as ghone, scroll down and add a filter on promote_to_group_top for og_gpg_ron_cust view. Here you have flexibility to add paging as well.

Save and go to admin/organic groups/Organic groups configuration

Expand Group home page, and select og_ghp_ron_cust as view.

Hope it helps some one.

I think changes in node-og.tpl.php might help to change the layout. If some explored it please shed some light on it, so that fraction can help us document this into hand book.

Thanks. Based on what you posted and the emails we've exchanged I'm going to have another go. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi all,

Since the original post on this was about customizing the contents of og home page, I couldn't make it work with the og_ghp_ron view other than to add filters, etc. For customizing the actual posts on the og home page, I put up a handbook page on a way that this can be done: http://drupal.org/node/293906
