Group Events Block requires "Administer Nodes" Permission to view

Would you please upgrade to 6.x and see if your problem still exists as i am no longer supporting
Drupal 5

Hi Paul,

Unfortunately that is not practical as all the other projects have not anywhere near being ready. I am not running a simple website it consists of lots of modules...

Even if I take into account that there are other ways of achieving some of the goals of the modules it took months to find a combination of modules which worked well together and gave an interface that was acceptable to the uninitiated. The website is being adopted by many of the members but it is politically to early to make such a major change to the site, in a year or so, maybe.

I know you are a volunteer but it is quite normal to support the current and previous 2 releases, in the OSS world the current and previous, but any less than that just doesn't give the stability required to build applications the upheaval of upgrading platforms.

thanks for considering this anyway

Richard

Can't upgrade to 6.x because many of the modules I need are not yet updated.

Could I use an argument to filter a View by a group instead?

The Group Events block is no longer needed. Views can now duplicate it's funtionality and the output can be customized in Views.

The key is that OG exposes the Current Group to filters in Views.

Here's the export from Views:

$view = new stdClass(); $view->name = 'group_events'; $view->description = 'Group Events View'; $view->access = array ( ); $view->view_args_php = ''; $view->page = FALSE; $view->page_title = ''; $view->page_header = ''; $view->page_header_format = '1'; $view->page_footer = ''; $view->page_footer_format = '4'; $view->page_empty = '

empty
'; $view->page_empty_format = '4'; $view->page_type = 'list'; $view->url = ''; $view->use_pager = TRUE; $view->nodes_per_page = '10'; $view->block = TRUE; $view->block_title = 'Upcoming Group Events'; $view->block_header = ''; $view->block_header_format = '4'; $view->block_footer = ''; $view->block_footer_format = '4'; $view->block_empty = ''; $view->block_empty_format = '4'; $view->block_type = 'list'; $view->nodes_per_block = '10'; $view->block_more = TRUE; $view->block_use_page_header = FALSE; $view->block_use_page_footer = FALSE; $view->block_use_page_empty = FALSE; $view->sort = array ( ); $view->argument = array ( array ( 'type' => 'name', 'argdefault' => '2', 'title' => '', 'options' => '=', 'wildcard' => 'all', 'wildcard_substitution' => '', ), ); $view->field = array ( array ( 'tablename' => 'node', 'field' => 'title', 'label' => '', 'handler' => 'views_handler_field_nodelink', 'options' => 'link', ), array ( 'tablename' => 'event', 'field' => 'event_start', 'label' => '', 'handler' => 'views_handler_field_date_large', 'defaultsort' => 'ASC', ), ); $view->filter = array ( array ( 'tablename' => 'node', 'field' => 'status', 'operator' => '=', 'options' => '', 'value' => '1', ), array ( 'tablename' => 'node', 'field' => 'type', 'operator' => 'OR', 'options' => '', 'value' => array ( 0 => 'event', 1 => 'volunteer_timeslots', ), ), array ( 'tablename' => 'og_ancestry', 'field' => 'picg', 'operator' => '=', 'options' => '', 'value' => '***CURRENT_GID***', ), array ( 'tablename' => 'event', 'field' => 'event_end', 'operator' => '>', 'options' => '', 'value' => 'now', ), ); $view->exposed_filter = array ( ); $view->requires = array(node, event, og_ancestry); $views[$view->name] = $view;

I've changed the status to Fixed but I guess Won't Fix could be just as valid.

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for two weeks with no activity.
