Make this module compatible to Node Access Arbitrator

This is indeed badly needed. It is also a big project. I am hoping that someone comes along with substantial funding for it. I think "a few thousand USD" would do it.

i just took this on my self. here is a prelim patch. views needs more work, and update function is untested. depends on earl's patch that adds na_arb capability to core .. .also has the update for admin/settings page

refreshed for HEAD. KarenS will be looking at the veiws integration for this patch and then it is ready for review+commit. in fact, please review now :)

and the patch. some notes:

- og_basic should no longer be used. create own node type using admin pages. use type=og to make everything work without visiting the settings page.
- only use river of news view. see admin/settings/og
- the 'remove node' link is not appearing on nodes

- fixed glitch in update when adding og_ancestry
- fixed various format_plural(), and documented that change on module updater book page

This seems great! Anyone care to detail the installation of the patch and how to use it with Node Access Arbitrator?

I used patch < path_104 to patch og.module. The patch uses "module_exists". I had to change this manually back to "module_exist" to make the patch work. Perhaps you're using another drupal version where this function has been renamed. In my drupal install 4.7.3 the function is called module_exist, however.

Sorry. The < bug. I applied path_104. It calls the function module_exist by module_exists. I had to change it manually in order to make the patch work.

Is this patch fairly easy to port to 4.7 or is it referring to any hooks etc not found in 4.7?

not especially easy. for one, it includes various other things that pull it into HEAD complaince. second, the node arbitrator module differs slightly from the corresponding functionality now in node.module. i do not plan to work on 4.7 backport.

Thank you for your quick response. I was afraid you'd say that. I suppose I will have to wait a while...until 5.0 to run og and tac simultaneously.

finally commtted this one. please BACKUP YOUR DATABASE and then try to update. report any failures in a new issue. if it just worked fine, please post that news here. thanks.
