I'm working on a site using organic groups, and I would like to create the groups in such a way that there is a static page for the home page of each group, with links in the menus to blogs and photo galleries. I tried to create the page using the page content type, but it still allows other items on the page. Do I need to use a separate module (like front_page) for the static group main page, or can I use a core content type?

Thanks.

I could be wrong here, but I think you are looking for the og_teampage.module addon ?

No, that's not what I want, because that is a table that allows you to put pictures and other info for each person in a team (or group). I want to be able to have a static front page for each group.

You need to go into the views module settings and create a new view. The view can contain whatever you want. (Just remove everything, I think, to make it show only the group description.) Then, assign the new view to be the groups homepage. Then, if you want the blogs etc. to show up in the menu, you have to go directly into the og module code and add the links to the code.

I did exactly what you are speaking about on one of my sites. Here is a sample group home page:

You will need to create an account to see how the menus are set up. It is still not exactly what I envisioned - I'd like the ability to organize the menus a little more - but seems to work just fine.

Is there a way to have a single node be a homepage in OG6 rather than a list of items?

A view can be a list of 1 item. ;-)

My answer to my own question: Composite Layout (http://drupal.org/project/composite) does what I need.

What I would like to do is create a dynamic group page, so that when a story, blog post, poll, etc are posted, they show up on the individual group pages. How would I do this? I of course have OG installed.

iirc, that's the default behavior.

When I post stories and choose a specific group, it doesn't get posted on that Group's page. All I see is the group description. How would I get it to actually post the stories I create?

The thing is I am trying to create a layout for organic groups. I wish to have

A. Admin posting With pager Ajax
B.Group member WIth pager ax, but seperate from the admin posting.... nice if it was in its own block
C. wiki posting with pager, ajax, and seperate too....

Without composite node I dont know how to speerate the content types in the groups and give them their own pagers.
I hate the Rive of news style.

Any ideas how I can do that without composite layout or panels would be great!

THanks
