I have many different content types. I'd like for several of them to be able to be posted to a group, but don't want them all to show up on the Group Details block. For instance, if a person wants to create a page, story, custom content1, or custom content2, they should be able to post it to a relevant group. However, when the user goes to the group page, on the group details page should only show "Create Group Page", "Create Group Wiki" for what type of content they can create. Is this possible?

i dont think i follow your question... if you make a content type available to groups, Standard groop post, it will show up in the Group Details block...

for what its worth, i wanted more control over my details block, and opted to create a custom content block, creating the links i wanted (group posts, group galleries, group events, etc.)...

I guess the main thing is I want to have an option to allow it to show in the group details block. I guess your suggestion of a custom block is the best way to go. Could you point me to how to do the custom block?

To create a custom group details block, you can do the following:

1) go to www.yoursite.com/admin/build/block/add
2) give the block a description
3) for the block body, you can enter the links to add content, keeping in mind the typical OG link would look something like:

http://www.yoursite.com/node/add/post?gids[]=1

  $linkoptions = array('query' => "gids[]=". $_GET["gids"][0]);

  print '<h2>Group Details</h2>';
  print '<ul>';
  print '<li>'. l("add a post", "node/add/post", $linkoptions) .'</li>';
  print '</ul>';

4) under page specific visibilty, select Show on only the listed pages and add a path to your group pages (I have some URL aliases, so your paths will vary)

groups/*
og/*

I believe the only way around this is to create a new block and put in the PHP / HTML that you want. Then you can control what 'create' options are listed.
