I might be to stupid to find it within the configuration, but I couldn't find a feature like this:
- All new OG Forums are by default subforums of the Main Forum, what makes the Main Forum Site a little bit confunsing if you have about 20-200 Groups.
- A configuration Feature would be great to automatically assign new OG Forums to a defined subforum.
I would gues, that this is not that much work, and I would offer help to implement it.
Does ist sound like a good Idea?

darren ohMy preferred solution would be to use some form of taxonomy access control to control which forums users see.
Comment #2
benjamin birkenhake commentedOuhm, I think, I described it wrong. What I meant was this:
Right now the Taxonomy of a forum may look like this:
- Cats (Created by an Admin)
- Dogs (Created by an Admin)
- Group A (automatically created by OG Forum)
- Group B (automatically created by OG Forum)
- Hamsters (Created by an Admin)
- Help (Created by an Admin)
What I would like to have ist something like this:
At the configuration site of my OG Forum there may be a field: "Default Subforum for OG Forums",
in which I could write for example: "Group Forums".
Everytim a new OG Forum ist created, it's a subforum of this one.
As a result, my forum would look like this:
- Cats (Created by an Admin)
- Dogs (Created by an Admin)
- Hamsters (Created by an Admin)
- Group Forums (Created by the Configuration of OG Forum)
--- Group A (automatically created by OG Forum)
--- Group B (automatically created by OG Forum)
- Help (Created by an Admin)
So this doesn't touch the visibility or accesss of Forums, it's only about the structure of the Forum.
Thanks for your patience!

darren ohI understand the request, but I think that allowing each group to have its own forum structure is an important feature. So the forum structure could be set up like this:
Public container:
Forum 1
Forum 2
...
Group A container:
Forum 1
Forum 2
...
Group B container:
Forum 1
Forum 2
...
Each group would show only its own forums. Outside the groups, only the public forums would be shown.

benjamin birkenhake commentedUhoh...
maybe I really don't get it.
How do I solve this?
Where and how do I configure it, that the a groups forums are only visible inside the group?
Thanks for your support.

rconstantine commentedThat is a bug. What you are referring to are:
1) A user that goes to www.yoursite.com/forum currently sees a listing of all forums - my patch that Darren is reviewing fixes this to show only those that the user is subscribed to (and active), as well as the site-wide general forums. Note, the revised patch from Darren doesn't fix this because he changed the SQL query in og_forum_db_rewrite_sql that took care of this.
2) At admin/content/forum the admin can screw up the OG forums by editing them there. They should be removed from the view, or links given to properly edit the OG forums while leaving all editing functionality for general forums. Once Darren is done with my patch and updates the official release, I'll fix this too.

rconstantine commentedOops, ignore my comment that says "Note, the revised patch from Darren doesn't fix this because he changed the SQL query in og_forum_db_rewrite_sql that took care of this." I had several files opened at once and was looking at the official release. Unless I'm corss-eyed, he left it as I had changed it.

darren ohThis request will become irrelevant once issues 122340 and 123268 are resolved.
