First off, I wanted to say thank you for developing this module. It's right inline with what I need, as many groups on my site are added after the content was added, and they need to play "catch up" in adding the content nodes to their group.

I was wondering if it is possible to disable the "public" check box on the form in the audience tab. Basically I would like to make it so that public posts always remain public. I don't want anyone except for the site admin or the node author to be able to change a post from public (i.e. have this option be on the node edit tab only). currently, if the node is not assigned to a group, the first user to "add an audience" can de-select the public checkbox.

I have tried some different things, and have been able to remove the public choice from the user interface, but when i do this, the post defaults to private when the first group is added.

Again, thanks for your hard work. Hopefully you can provide some insight.

I think the Public checkbox appears only depending on some OG settings (at least that's the case in recent versions). If you configure OG so that the checkbox does not appear in the node submission form, OG Audience will also hide it from its form (that is, unless there is a bug).

Agreed. If I don't grant the option of choosing private versus public on initial submission to users and force everything to be one or the other og_audience works great. The problem is that I still would like to have the public checkbox available on initial node submission, so that the original author can choose whether the post is public or private to only group members. I would then like the public/privateness of the node to remain for its lifetime unless altered by the author or an admin.

The problem arises, when someone sees a post that is initially public (and not yet associated with any group) and would like to be the first to add that post to their group, they are given the option of unchecking the public checkbox, regardless of whether or not they are the original author.

All other scenarios seem to work wonderfully (i.e when a node is already assigned to a group)... it is just this first assignment of a node to a group where somebody could make something no longer public.

I agree, this needs to be fixed. I think that in most cases site admins would like to keep the post public and not allow anyone to "hide" it in a group, because it was public in the first place.
