Organic Groups - list of groups?

Posted by Cookie.Monster on February 1, 2013 at 4:52pm

I'm a newbie to Drupal so just starting to learn my way around. I have the Organic Groups module installed and ran through some of the tutorials at Modules Unraveled. One showed how to create views with OG and Drupal 7. One of the views was a list of groups which you are a member, "My Groups" thing. Apparently this view is supposed to already be set up, but it's now missing in the latest version of OG. I am unsure if this is a bug or by design.

I need to be able to create 2 views:

list of all groups in the system, whether or not you are a member
list of all groups which you are a member

This bug that was reported has a comment from St.Ego that implies I will not be able to create the "my groups" view from scratch due to some missing code. http://drupal.org/node/1848852#comment-7011454

Can anyone point me in the right direction so I can see if creating the 2 views I need is possible? It is a requirement for our organization and by Monday afternoon I need to have a bare bones install working with the features we require so the team can decide if we'll be using Drupal.

I'm still looking for advice

I'm still looking for advice on this. Someone else must be doing or needing to do this in Drupal 7 with OG?

Dig a bit deeper into Views,

Dig a bit deeper into Views, the answer awaits you instead of a rant!

I wasn't ranting? Just

I wasn't ranting? Just looking for someone to confirm or deny that this is possible. The bug report I linked to has a comment that states it's no longer possible. Is that person incorrect? I am hoping so as I was unfortunately not provided enough time for evaluation so was hoping someone could confirm that what I want to do is possible with the newest version of OG (supposedly it was there in the prior version but the bug speculates that code is missing now and the bug is assigned to someone).

Once I'm into development time, I'll be given the required time to get it working, but I have to decide if we're using Drupal by tomorrow.

I played around with the OG

I played around with the OG User groups view that was pre-existing and I have something working. While not pretty, it does display a list of the users groups and a tab on the page for users to access this.

I still have to work on a list of all groups in the system, whether or not a user is a member, so that's next on my list for today. I don't see a pre-existing view that will work with that, so I believe I'll have to do that from scratch. I believe this is the issue people are having in the issue I linked to, that the relationships to build this no longer exist.

list of all groups

While I was able to get a list of groups which a person is a member of, I'm still having trouble getting a list of all groups in the system. Has anyone successfully done this with the latest 2.x version of Organic Groups? If so, then at least I know there is an end in sight. Right now, it seems like myself and others aren't able to create this view.
