Setting an OG Panel Page to its group home page doesn't replace the original OG Group View as group home page.

I cannot reproduce this.

Your custom page is published?

the prefix for the path field on the edit form was misleading. i have fixed it. will be in next release.

Has anyone managed to work out why this is...it doesn't work on our organic groups either. As soon as you select one of the page to be your homepage, that page no longer has a tab...(which means you have no 'home' tab once you go into other group pages) and when you come to the homepage you still get the stream of news frontpage rather than the selected page.

thanks

sorry, I should have said that I am currently using 7.3 and it is still happening.

thanks

I would like to set one of my OG panels pages as the home page for the group (not for all groups, but a specific panel page for a single group). But when I selected the "Home" radio button after creating the panel page, the home page view is still the default "River of News" view rather than the panel page.

When I set a panel page as a "home" page (using radio button) and published for the group, the page disappears from the groups tabs, and when I visit the URL I have designated for that home page (mysite.com/node/XXX/homepanelpage) I am taken to a view for the group that looks like the default except without the tabs. However, if I do not set the panel page as the "home" page for the group, it does appear in the tabs and I can visit the page using the URL and clicking on the tab. This is very strange, and entirely maddening.

Any suggestions?

(I should add that when creating the panel page, when asked to enter a URL path, I see path "http://mysite.com/node/XXX/" rather than "http://mysite.com/mygroupurl/")

Using 5.x.7.3

I am having the same issue. When the user is setting a home page, the tab is disappearing. I don't think that users know that the View tab becomes the tab that you specify as the home page. So, the 'disappearing tab' is really just a misunderstanding. What is more perplexing is that we set a page as a group home page, but the River of news is still showing instead of the group's custom page. We have the OG: Group home page selected as the default home page in the configuration for Organic Groups configuration, but no matter what we do inside the group panels, the custom page is never viewed.

We tried the upgrade to 5.x - 8.0 and it still didn't work.

Any ideas?

I think it is working
just check to be published in the panel page setting.

Hi Kansaj. I have taken all of the necessary steps for this to work, but unfortunately it is still not working.

When you check it to be published and the home page for a group, the group retains the "River of News" default view. In fact, the panel page designated as the home page & published is not even accessible at its URL (see above). Instead, you see the default view.

Is there something overriding this maybe?

Here's a fix for the page that gets set and then disappears. Maybe this wouldn't be such a problem if this was documented outside of the code.

In the function og_panels_menu($may_cache), there is a two line comment that says: Optional. Horrible hack since the tab title is not changeable in D5. Add the following code to your theme's template.php in the _phptemplate_variables('page') section.
if (isset($GLOBALS['og_panels_view_tab_fix'])) {
$variables['tabs'] = str_replace('>View<', '>' . $GLOBALS['og_panels_view_tab_fix'] . '<', $variables['tabs']);
}

Since we are using zen classic, I opened up the template.php file in the zen classic folder and found the function zen_classic_preprocess_page(&$vars). I pasted the code in and nothing worked. Obviously because the code in the comments that we are supposed to paste uses the full word 'variables' instead of 'var'. After changing the code to use 'var' the 'View' tab is correctly changing to the title of the selected default home page.

The River of News is still coming through instead of the content that is prescribed for that page.

Does it matter what view you assign in Organic Groups Home Page presenatation? I found the following code in og.module:

$view = views_get_view(variable_get('og_home_page_view', 'og_ghp_ron'));
$views_available = variable_get('views_defaults', array());
if ($views_available[$view->name] == "disabled") {
// Do nothing. Assume the group node type handles homepage, or theme layer - i.e. node-.tpl.php
}

I didn't think the view mattered because the og_panels should be taking over. But it doesn't seem to be doing that. Has anyone gotten this to successfully work? What special views if any did you use?
