Show all content for a particular group (Organic Groups)?

So here's where I'm at: I've redefined the theme_og_view() function as phptemplate_og_view() in my templates.php file.

This is what I've got, including some debug output:

// if you want a totally different group home page, you may redefine this function in your theme
// if you just want to change the presentation of current page, redefine theme_og_list_generic()
function phptemplate_og_view(&$node, $teaser = FALSE, $page = FALSE) {
  if ($teaser || !$page) {
    $node = node_prepare($node, $teaser);
	print "DEBUG" .$node;
  }
  else {
    drupal_set_breadcrumb($bc);
    $output ='';
    $mode = 'all';

  global $user;

  $output = '';

  $sql = og_get_home_nodes_sql($type);
  $result = pager_query(db_rewrite_sql($sql), $num, $i, NULL, $gid);

  while ($node = db_fetch_object($result)) {
    $output .= node_view(node_load(array('nid' => $node->nid)), 1);
  }


    if (!$output) {
      drupal_set_message(t('No posts in this group.'));
    }
    $url = url("og/feed/$node->nid");
    $icon = theme('xml_icon', $url);
    drupal_set_html_head("<link rel=\"alternate\" href=\"$url\" title=\"$node->title RSS feed\" type=\"application/rss+xml\" />");
    $node->body = $output. $icon;
  }
  print "SQL: " .$sql. "RESULT: " .$result;

  return $node;
  return theme('page', $output);
  

}

The value of $sql is:

SELECT DISTINCT(n.nid), n.title, n.uid, u.name, n.created, l.comment_count, l.last_comment_timestamp FROM {node} n INNER JOIN {node_access} og_na ON n.nid = og_na.nid INNER JOIN {node_comment_statistics} l ON n.nid = l.nid INNER JOIN {users} u ON n.uid = u.uid WHERE og_na.gid = %d AND og_na.realm = 'og_group' AND n.status=1 AND n.type NOT IN ('og', 'image') ORDER BY n.sticky DESC, l.last_comment_timestamp DESC

The value of the $result returned from the query is:

Resource id #58

The value of $output is nothing, blank, nada.

I definitely have one piece of content under the group who's home page I'm looking at. Is it an issue with node_view()/node_load() or...?

Any insight from anyone?

On and off with this, but I really have to begin making some progress.

Here's where I'm at. This code rethemes the group home page to show all nodes under the group (itself a node) in good old node_view style.

// if you want a totally different group home page, you may redefine this function in your theme
// if you just want to change the presentation of current page, redefine theme_og_list_generic()
function phptemplate_og_view(&$node, $teaser = FALSE, $page = FALSE) {
  if ($teaser || !$page) {
    $node = node_prepare($node, $teaser);
  }
  else {
    drupal_set_breadcrumb($bc);
    $output ='';
    $mode = 'all';

  global $user;

  $output = '';
	print $type;
  $sql = og_get_home_nodes_sql($type);
  $result = pager_query(db_rewrite_sql($sql), 10, 0, NULL, $node->nid);

  while ($node = db_fetch_object($result)) {
    $output .= node_view(node_load(array('nid' => $node->nid)), 1);
  }

    if (!$output) {
      drupal_set_message(t('No posts in this group.'));
    }
    $url = url("og/feed/$node->nid");
    $icon = theme('xml_icon', $url);
    drupal_set_html_head("<link rel=\"alternate\" href=\"$url\" title=\"$node->title RSS feed\" type=\"application/rss+xml\" />");
    $node->body = $output. $icon;
  }

  return $node;

}
  

Great, but now I want other views: I want to be able to show all nodes of a particular type for the group at its own URL. In the OG.module, the default group home page separates out the different nodes in a table with pagination for each section, but it seems to me this was done in lieu of a what would have been a more complex system for showing them on different pages. I want to build that system -- I want a page with all the nodes (done above), a page with just blogs, a page with just polls, and ideally any combination of them.

Do I theme the og_list_generic function, or set up some new menu callbacks/functions in OG.module? Or is this something I should create my own views.module for, which creates a sort of container/parent node type called a View which can accept a set of criteria to pull children into it? Or...?

Any help from the Drupal community is much appreciated. This is my primary objective right now, and I want to make good use of my time. Asisstance would really ensure our team is using our time wisely and creating something the broader community can use. Think of us as Google Summer of Code people in need of a mentor(s). :)
