Hi I really love your module, since i am new to Drupal would like to know if it works with the poll and OG module?

So for example if i put up a Bday gift for a cell phone that cost 300, i can send it to all my friends in my OG group and they can vote if they will contribute or not, and if they do the site admin can use ChipIn to collect all the money and show progress.

Hope you guys know what i mean and really appercial it al the work you have done so far!

ken - thanks for the compliments, I am always glad to see somebody getting benefit from the work I've put into this module.

The way organic groups works an OG can contain any node type, regardless of its type. While I've never used wishlist within OG, I've used both extensively and am sure they will play nicely together.

I've not used the voting module and don't know whether it allows for voting on another node, so you are on your own there.

The scenario you describe is one of workflow (not necessarily meaning the module by the same name). The wishlist module is mostly handling storage, retrieval and display of wishlist items and tosses in a wee bit of workflow for purchasing an item, but it does not provide the hooks you would probably need to alert an admin that an item has been purchased, for example.

For what you are looking to do, you can indeed create wishlist nodes within an OG, and you can likely create voting nodes with that same OG. While wishlist does not support direct relationships to any other nodes you can likely associate your wishlist item for the phone and a voting item for the phone by describing them in similar ways or by putting them both in the same category, or by getting in deeper and using something like node relativity (a module I've never used).

Without coding your own workflow or finding a module to support it, I don't think you'll have quite the smooth experience you have described for your users, but the pieces are all there.

Thanks Scott, i am play around and see how it works out. I am new to druapl so i am still not very familiar with it yet.

For the wishlist specific module, it would be great if we can seperate items and a cost per item just like a transaction in each online shop.

Do you think this is possible?

Thanks again!!
Ken

The module works that way today. Each item you enter has a cost, description, purchased status and such. Have I misunderstood what you are asking?

Explore http://wishlist.mclewin.com a little to see the wishlist in action if you've not played with the module.
