Make Group Menu Display on all Nodes belonging to a group

Subscribing.

I posted a similar issue, not only are the group tabs lost, the breadcrumb context of a post is too #1287760: when in a group, and travelling to a node from a content type tab, content type should be in breadcrumb as well as node

One way of easily achieving this would be:

Instead of having group node teaser views (i.e. group blog, group discussions, group events) link to the full node (i.e. node/[nid]) instead to link to a View which lists just that 1 node in full node view (i.e. node/view/[nid]). This way all tab menus established by the group views could be maintained?

Is this a bad/lazy way of doing it?

It would probably mean creating a view display for each of the group content views, which would display a single full node based on an NID argument.

I tried this though with mixed results. I think it would probably better for these tabs to be 'themed in' somehow (we already have a node theme template for nodes posted in groups).

Currently the tab menus are created by Views so the only way you could have them display on a node would be if the node were also being displayed within a view. That is, you could add a view with an argument of 'nid' then change the links to the nodes in the group content views to link back to the new view but with the nid as argument... or if you wanted the content type tab to remain 'active' while viewing content of that type, you could try adding a display to those views instead of using a separate view.

Then you'd have to use some custom PHP to set the page title to the node's title, and load and print the node (or use something like http://drupal.org/project/viewsnodefield).

This is not really a good solution though for a variety of reasons. You might have to wait until somebody comes up with a totally different solution for group menus.

Breadcrumbs with content type in them are fairly easy to do though... I have this going on my site and might submit as a patch on #1287760: when in a group, and travelling to a node from a content type tab, content type should be in breadcrumb as well as node at some point. Also sounds like you might still be suffering from #1265636: Breadcrumbs Displaying all sub-groups from another parent

I quite like the idea of using taxonomy_menu for this (perhaps combined with hierarchical select for usability).

You would only need one additional view. You could

• clone, say, the group_tab_blogs view and call it something like group_tab_nodeview,
• remove the sort criterias and filter criterias apart from published and in current group,
• add a node nid argument set to hide the view if the argument is empty,
• remove the fields and use something like http://drupal.org/project/viewsnodefield to add the full node as a field
• change path to node/%/content/%/view
• change text of menu tab to something like 'View'
• alter the other group_tab views such that node title links to node/group_nid/content/nid/view (rather than directly to the node as currently)

This is just from memory, I might have missed bits to make it look right and function securely

You don't need a php argument here, just a simple one. It's just like adding fields, you'd just add node nid to arguments, and pretty much the only customisation you'd need to make is to set it to hide the view if there's no argument, rather than display all.

@ Mark C

Did you have any success with this? Can you report back any more details on creating such a view? That would be helpful to myself and perhaps many others with this issue (particularly in Drupal Commons).

I am restoring the original issue's title, and closing this issue, since it is for a Drupal version that is no longer supported. Furthermore, this distribution does not have releases for supported Drupal versions.
