Hi,

I am using OG for a project an I want group members to be able to see a 'proper' Drupal menu (not the Group Details Block provided by OG) that allows them to...

1) Create new GROUP-owned instances of node types according to the particular permissions they already have and...
2) To be able to adjust the creation links to be suffixed with drupal_get_destination() so that after creation, the user goes back exactly where thye were just before they created the group-owned item.

To clarify then, I would like a group member to see a 'real' Drupal menu like this say...

Create a Page
Create a Story
Create a News Item

...and when the user clicks on ay of these, Drupal takes them to a node/add form, assigns the post to one or more groups as per the user's Audience ticks, then returns them back to wherever they were before their menu item click.

Can I use your module to provide me with this facility?

Thanks

OG provides a block named "Group details" that shows node creation links with a prepopulated group value corresponding to the group context.

Thank you for that and I agree that this Block 'sort of' does the job I'm after but it does not provide a 'real' Drupal menu - that is what it really should do and is indeed one of the authors 'TODOS'.

Ideally any modules that create a series of links in this way really should do so as proper Drupal menus so that we can all take advantage of the in-built facilities to move items from menu to menu etc. The added bonus of course is that if they are real menus then they will of course automaticaly become Blocks anyway.

Unfortunately, this is more complicated than it sounds since these links must append the gid of the current group to prepopulate the form.
Anyway, this concerns OG more than OG Menu - which does not provide any block for content creation.
Marking as won't fix.
