If you have a moment could you help me configure Organic Groups module. Specificly can you help me do this:
"You must designate at least one content type to act as a Group node and another as a Group post. Create new content type if needed."

I followed the instructions here http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/og But I must have did something wrong because it did't work.

Thank you

Hi,
I faced the same problem but I solved it!!!

You have to go to the Edit option of your one group
e.g. "Blog entry May not be posted into a group", you click edit option beside this and change it into 'node'
and go for another group and edit as 'Post'.

Hope it will work!!

It's simply that at least one (you can have more) content type must be a group type, otherwise you have no groups to put any content into! You have a 'Group' content type and it needs to be marked as 'Group node' not 'May not be posted....'. Then you must also have at least one content type which is marked as able to be posted into a group. None in your list is marked that way yet.

I've got the same problem.
Could you explain more in detail how to do this?

** fixed **
I forgot to add the right to administer groups to myself.

The settings have not been saved because of the errors.

i hit this problem as i was not user/1 and had to go and reset permissions before the 'organic group' subsection showed in the 'create content type' screen - at that point it was obvious I could set the new content type to be used as 'node' for group.

though i have og-6.x-2.0\og\translations\fr-FR.po and choosed "french" for the group language, i always get messages in english at the top of the pages :
for example group/see i have "No posts in this group." instead of "Aucune contribution dans ce groupe"

lines 411 & 412 in fr-FR.po :
msgid "No posts in this group."
msgstr "Aucune contribution dans ce groupe."

(the site configuration is on "french" also and comments at the top of the page are in french [drupal 6.14])

where can i configurate this parameter ?
