This is for 4.7-dev.

Here's the bug:

Basically, blogs post that are supposed to be private to a specific organic group are nevertheless sent [via subscriptions.module] to anyone who has subscribed to the originating poster's blog... regardless of whether they are a member of the "private organic group".

More specific breakdown of behavior:

1. A user [call them "fanboy"] subscribes to another user's blog [call them "superstar"]
2. User "superstar" posts a blog to a specific audience in an organic group [call this group "The VIPs"] and marks the checkbox to indicate that this posting should *not be public*
3. "fanboy" *still* gets an email from the subscriptions.module informing them that "superstar" has just written a blog... even tho' "fanboy" is not even a member of ["The VIPs"].

4. Riot on the internet ensues :-)

Thanks for your attention to this. I'm not sure if this behavior also occurs in 5.0 [either v1 or 2]... though I suspect it might. Regardless, this is a significant issue. Thanks!

I'll let this stand for a while, but there's no hope that anyone will do any more work on 4.7 (unless you do it yourself, that is).

Drupal 6 is on the horizon, and 4.7 will soon be unsupported, so it's high time to look into upgrading.

I'd be interested in hearing from people testing 2.0-beta against OG!

So far It seems to not respect the groups that users are in, If there is a category that all users are subscribed to then....

All users get E-Mails....

Yippideedoodahday!!!!!!!!!

It works.....

All I had to do was enable Access Control in OG configurations....

Guess this is the road to Victory..

See you on the other side!!

Great news, thanks for letting us know!

P.S. If there should be any issues between Subscriptions 5.x-2.0 and OG after all, then please start a new thread, so we can keep this one for the old D47 version.

With the release of Drupal 6, everything 4.7 is obsolete and unsupported.
