In a structure such as this:

Parent A (group)
- Team1 (subgroup)
-- The Team (Organic group managers and admins)
-- The Team 'supporters' (Organic Group members)
- Team 2 to X(think several hundred)
Parent B to say 10 (group)

Is it possible for Parent A to select between subgroup managers/admins and members.

For example:

1) The Team (Admins/Managers) can email all of the "Team Supporters" under the existing og features. However, I'm looking for a way for Event Admins/Managers that should be able to email either all members (Teams and their supporters) or just the Teams (so Managers/Admins).

2) I would like to create a parent that is private so that content can be private to the Teams (Admins/Managers of subgroups) and not visible by members of subgroups.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Stephen

I'm having trouble understanding your group structure, specifically everything after "Team 1". Could you clarify the structure you're describing?

to help, I'll use the analogy of a football league.

League 1 (group)
- Team1 (subgroup)
-- The Team players/coach (Organic group managers and admins)
-- The Team 'supporters' (Organic Group members)
- Team 2 to X(think several hundred)
League 2 to say 10 (group)

Below team 1 are just users, but the users can be members or group managers/admins, hence my confusing distinction. Does this help?

Title: Parent discriminates between admins and members » Propogate only admins of subgroups to parent group

Having had a better play with the module, I can say in simpler terms what I'm thinking of.

A tick box on the admin settings form:

Member Propagation to Parent:
[o] Promote subgroup members and admins/owners
[ ] Promote only subgroup admins/owners

use case:

Parent group: "Group administrators for chess clubs"
Subgroups: "Chess clubs"
etc

Parent group contains key information for admins of groups only, which could include pages (protected with og access) and also allow emails to be sent to all the group admins

D6 version deals with admin propagation. Try it out.

That's great news, but sadly we're firmly stuck on D5 for a good while yet. Any chance this could be backported?

I'm accepting patches but not going to myself, you can look at the D6 version to see the logic. I'll add a message in the frontpage that D5 version is maintained mainly for bug fixes.

Also please note that the feature in D6 is not to propagate *only* admins but whether admin rights are propagated or not.

Ahh, I see. What I'm really looking for is the feature I described in my April 17th post. So much so, I'd be able to find some cash in our charity budget to cover this if we could sponsor development (we're all volunteers, but some functionality is key). Would this be something you'd be interested in? If so, drop me an email via the contact form.

Thanks, Stephen

@scedawr,
good news - http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=137696 , and for free, only thing I ask for is to help me test it :)
Before testing you need to 'reset to default' the subgroups configuration page.

That's brilliant!!!! Thank you so much.

I'm not going to be around for the next week so I'm going to struggle to get access (or time) to test this but please be assured it is high on my list of priorities and is critical for our system!

Thanks again, Stephen

Hi. Thanks again. I've now had a chance to look at this and bring our development site up to the stage I can start testing. First question, is this statement on the project page still relevant:
"Organic groups module. (D5 version - In order to use the 'user propagation' you will have to use the OG dev version)."

We're now on the latest og 5.x-7.3 (2008-Jul-02) which is newer than the dev version linked to.

Please check it and let us know :), better if you open it as a different issue.

I'm testing, but it seems as thought the admin propogation has only been added to the D6 version, or am I missing something in the CVS?

Indeed, only to the D6 version. D5 is a bug fix only version.
