Organic Groups Clarification
I was asked by a person to build a site with specific functionality. In researching solutions I ran across Drupal and one of the main reasons I chose Drupal was the existence of Organic Groups. I then checked my hosting provider and found they offered Drupal as an add on application, so that is what I went with. So now I go to add teh organic groups module and this is what I think I found.
I know my version of Drupal is 6.12, but it appears organic groups is not supported in Drupal 6.12. I have to have 6.2, which is apparently not the current released version, or not supported by my provider. Is that a correct statement?
If so, since I can't install a previous version of drupal via my hosting application add ons because they only offer 6.12, my only choice is to wait for 6.2 to be released and offered by my hosting company. Correct?
:-(
Thanks
Nope not correct...
Nope not correct. Drupal 6.12 is the latest version of the drupal core. Organic Groups is an contributed module which has two versions out that are compatible with Drupal 6. You can either install version 6.x-1.3 which is the lastest stable release or you can install 6.x-2.0-rc3 and latest Organic Groups development release. Given your question I'd advise you stay with the stable release.
In order to add a contributed module to Drupal install you will need FTP (or equivalent) access to your site and you will need to upload the the module to a directory on your site. For more information about this process read this excellent page in the Drupal handbook http://drupal.org/node/120641

Thanks. Got it downloaded, uploaded and activated.
Of course that is leading me down the trail of now installing the notifications module, which in turn leads to installing the messaging module.
