Issue Summary

Please explain me, why should I create a second group for new remote site when it's already created by og_site.install?

As follows from og_sites readme:

  • 2-b. Enable the og_sites module.
    The install script will register the site with the hub site, creating an
    organic group record on the hub site.
  • 2-d. On the hub site, create a new group for the site.
    Under Create content, select the 'Site' content type. You will get a select
    box for Site prefix. Select the prefix you gave to the new site.

There's nothing happened without second step because table {og_sites} is still empty. IMO step 2-d is unnecessary (and awkward with manual filling of site name and description fields). Here is my patch.

Nice module, thanks!

Can you advise what should do with this file. It appears to just be a text file?

Thanks
Ian

You need to apply the patch. See: http://drupal.org/patch/apply

After you do that, please report back if it solved your problem.

Thanks!

Thanks for the note. I think it's the documentation that's outdated. I suspect we should remove 2-d.

The explicit insert in the patch shouldn't be needed. When og_sites is installed, it should create a new record in the og_sites table, because saving the node should trigger og_sites_hub_nodeapi(). Is this not happening? If not, we need to find out why.
