Hello,

I still have this problem. So in spaces_og.module i modify the behavior of redirect and commented the redirection when purl is empty :
/*
else {
drupal_goto('node/'. $this->sid .'/edit' );
}
menu_set_active_item('spaces-access-denied');*/

And disabling the fact that purl is required in the form. I think we can add a setting parameters in order to use some content type as standard group node.

What do you think?

Another issue i had with Spaces OG taking over all group content types is that it would automatically put "GROUP" in the breadcrumbs, granted that they are all group types but doesnt mean that i want the word "group" ion my breadcrumbs all group content types especially if i am trying to show some differentiation between my group content types.

Spaces Og should be content type aware and allow for different configuration settings for each type. If we wanted all of the group content types to be treated the same, there there would be no reason to make more than one.

The first question to ask for this kind of issue is "why"? Disabling Spaces OG per content type does the following:
1. Weakens the OG model of IA after you've gotten used to something that makes it much better.
2. Doing it properly adds little performance degradations to everyone not interested in this feature.

Is it that presets are too inclusive of features that don't belong everywhere? #1054236: Determine Preset Options per Group Content Type

If the problem is that Spaces is overly aggressive with use cases, they should be discussed on a case by case basis so as to improve the module.

well maybe it can be a module that can be turned on off called spaces_og_selector" or something like that . so that those who want the feature can use it & those who do not want the feature will be unaffected but Spaces og makes too many assumptions & the whole reason we use drupal is so that we may have choices. If we anted all the decisions to be made for us, we would use wordpress & Joomla. We use drupal because we want the fine grained control that drupal offers us. modules should be atomic & flexible so that the user may make the decisions about their site, not the developers unless the user wants the developers to make all their decisions, but thats what features & installation profiles are for.

If I make a separate group type, spaces should not assume that i want it treated like the other group type. Thats unintuitive because if we wanted it act just like the other group type, there would be no reason to make a new group type. Users should get a choice in how aggressive features should be. I think that is reasonable.

Unfortunately, there is no way to do that without adding a bunch of hooks to Spaces OG that would be even more of an issue.

The stuff I'm talking about in #1054236: Determine Preset Options per Group Content Type would allow you to change the presets available. If you add another issue for determining which features are exposed per preset (or content type) then you have the distinction in how Spaces and Group types interrelate without the problems opting a content type out adds.

well there should be atleast be a way to set individual settings for each content type
