So, I asked this in Panels a while back, the question was directed to OG by merlinofchaos, and I was told that OG Panels might handle this situation. But I never got an answer in that queue. so here goes:

We're not interested in using og_panels for admins to alter group layouts. What we are interested in is the ability to display all OG pages in panels, overriding the og/* paths with panels. Obviously, we can (and do) already show node/view, add and edit pages through Panels and that works fine. But I'm talking about things like:

og/invite
og/manage
all og/* confirmation pages and forms
...etc

Is this something that og_panels will allow?

The reason we want to do this is that we're using Panels for everything else in our site, in terms of the basic layout, and having context available lets us do much more interesting things with the panels-controlled blocks on our pages (as opposed to drupal system blocks). Without og running inside of panels, we need to maintain two sets of layouts - on in standard drupal theme files, and one through panels. This gets confusing for administrators later on, when trying to figure out what's generating what. So, we want to be able to have our groups completely inside of Panels.

when this project is finished, it will export a context to ctools so you can build pages for og urls like that. i really don't know enough about panels3 to be of more help though. you will probably need some custom dev to get it all working (i.e. content items for panels)

Title: Question about functionality of og_panels » Include content-types for og subpages
Version: » 6.x-2.x-dev
Component: Miscellaneous » Code
Category: support » feature

This would be a great set of features for the module to expose. Currently, it just does content like the mission and description, and leverages the existing og/views/panels stuff.

However, these are great things to add.

this is on the larger roadmap, but not part of the initial 1.0 release. we are aiming to get flexible group layout pages first.

As it turns out, the recently released Panelizer module will let you do a lot of this. I recommend using that if you (or others) have that use case in the future!
