The organic group forum module creates a forum container for that group, with a single sub-forum. The forum can be restricted to be only seen by members of that group. Forums for group members are very useful to maintain privacy of a groups discussions as it begins to organize and accomplish the groups mission.
A category term for the group is created to tie the organic group with it's forum container.
You can:
- read about the forum module handbook page.
- read about the organic groups module handbook page.
- not administer this module.
Subform Magic
If you have numerous subforums that should not be displayed on the main index and need to hide them, Michelle provided me with a bit of helpful code.
In og_forum.module
find:
function theme_og_forum_list($forums, $parents, $tid) {
global $user;right after that add:
$hide_subs = TRUE;find:
else {
$new_topics = _forum_topics_unread($forum->tid, $user->uid);
$forum->old_topics = $forum->num_topics - $new_topics;
if (!$user->uid) {
$new_topics = 0;
}right after that add:
if($forum->depth <= 1) {
$description = '' . "\n";
} else {
if ($hide_subs) {
continue;
} else {
$description = 'depth . '">' . "\n";
}
}This is used in conjunction with Michelle's advanced forum for great results.

subforum magic
why is this not integrated into the module itself as an optional feature somehow?
