'Public' should not be the default for og nodes.

i will make this a pref

+1 for this.

+1 for pref selected by group owner

+1 from me also.

+1 from me too
thanks

Simple fix.

Line 1012: $public = 1
becomes $public = 0

Wow. I should read the comments. Will await the pref.

just thought i'd chime in for the 4.6.3 users...

around line 958
change

else {
          $public = 1;
        }
        $output .= form_checkbox(t('Public'), 'og_public', 1, $public, t('Show this post to everyone or only to members of the checked selected below.'));
        break;

to

else {
          $public = 0;
        }
        $output .= form_checkbox(t('Public'), 'og_public', 0, $public, t('Show this post to everyone or only to members of the checked selected below.'));
        break;

works like a charm,
also.. there is a new og_forum module on the dev list that creates a private forum for each group.. COOL! requires very latest taxonomy patches though...

yes!

about to commit.

admin can now choose default for normal users on settings page. when an admin sees the posting form, the checkbox is always visible and defaults to private (i.e. unchecked).
