Getting Started
Organic Groups depends on Messaging, Notifications and Views.
- admin/build/modules -- enable:
- OG, OG Access Control, OG Actions, OG Groups Notifications, OG Views Integration
- Messaging, Simple Mail, Simple messaging
- Content notifications, Notifications, Notifications lite, Notifications views
- Views, Views UI
- Configure OG
- admin/og/og
- admin/og/og_access
- Create a group type
- Create at least one content type that can be posted in a group
Enabling OG Blocks
- admin/build/block
- Enable Group details, My Groups, and Group search
Create a New Home Page View
OG Home pages are generated by views.
- Any view that begins with og_ghp can be selected as a group home page at admin/og/og in the Group details fieldset
- The default group home page is at admin/build/views/edit/og_ghp_ron
- NEVER edit the default views. Clone them!
- The default og_ghp_ron view can be cloned at admin/build/views/clone/og_ghp_ron
Next Steps
- Hide blocks when viewing a node that is connected to a group
This PHP snippet, when placed in a block's page specific visibility settings, will display a block only on pages that are not connected with a group:
<?php
$group_node = og_get_group_context();
return (empty($group_node));
?> - Create additional views for the group homepage
- Views Arguments are your friend
