I'm still very new to Drupal (been messing with it about a month) and haven't attempted to run a website in years, but that's okay!
I am trying to get a community-driven site up regarding the game Warhawk and its clan system. You can check it out at http://www.warhawkclans.com. Anyway, I've been reading about a bunch of different modules and tried a few things, but it just isn't coming together the way I would like. Here is what I would like to achieve:
Use OG_Forum and to create a private forum for a clan when it is created.
Use OG_user_roles to designate a "clan leader" who can recruit members, etc.
Use category_menu to add to the "clan directory" menu when a new clan is created.
Here are the problems I've run into:
Getting OG_Forum and OG_user_roles working seems to be just fine. Once configured, I can create a new clan (group) and a private forum is created for the group in my chosen container. This forum cannot be seen by anyone who is not in the group. Perfect.
If I then install Category (to get category_menu,) I observe this behavior:
Creation of a new clan creates that clan's forum in the proper container, but it is now seen by all users (posts are inaccessible).
I think this is because OG_Forum is trying to tie the forum title to a taxonomy and the category wrapper is munging it up somehow. Again, I'm new to all this, so I'm taking my best guess.
Has anyone else tried/done something similar?
