Spaces, Context and Features

Okay, so I have tried going back having looked at OpenAtrium but still not getting anywhere. What I want is simple, using Organic Groups I would like to have a blog for each group. I can, now, recreate the video linked to in my first post to create a site wide blog. I cannot seem to get it to link with OG.

When viewing an OG I get the emssage "Please setup your group by choosing a homepage setting." I know this is not OG and it is something to do with context and space but cannot figure out what, I just cant see where you set the home page. I assume it should be under a feature page somewhere, but can't figure out how to get there. I can post code if needed, would prefer some good tutorials though, if any exist.

Hi,

So I am starting again with this. Have V3 of Spaces, Context, etc. (the latest). I am starting from scratch, doing a bit at a time and working up.The ultimate aim, as noted in the original post, is to have a blog, calendar and gallery for each OG group, but as a feature so it can be turned on/off as needed.

Anyway, I am trying to follow the tutorial (see orig post) to get the basic blog working. I have a view which works. I ahve created the context (see below):

$context = new stdClass;
$context->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default context disabled initially */
$context->api_version = 3;
$context->name = 'spaces_feature_blog';
$context->description = '';
$context->tag = 'Blog';
$context->conditions = array(
  'node' => array(
    'values' => array(
      'blog' => 'blog',
    ),
    'options' => array(
      'node_form' => 1,
    ),
  ),
  'views' => array(
    'values' => array(
      'blog' => 'blog',
    ),
  ),
);
$context->reactions = array(
  'block' => array(
    'blocks' => array(
      'views-blog-block_1' => array(
        'module' => 'views',
        'delta' => 'blog-block_1',
        'region' => 'right',
        'weight' => 0,
      ),
    ),
  ),
);
$context->condition_mode = 0;

$translatables['spaces_feature_blog'] = array(
  t('Blog'),
);

That works fine. I realise this is not OG yet, just working through the tutorial. In the tutorial it notes you can goto "mysite/spaces/features" and enable the feature. That doesn't appear to be the case in the new versions of the modules. Can someone confirm that?

Better yet, are there any good tutorials for the new versions, simple ones?

Havin had no replies or pointers, I ahve started again. I have a fresh install of Drupal, and this time I ahve gone back to Cotnext and Spaces V1.x. I know it's out of date, but it lets me follow the video tutorial over at - http://developmentseed.org/blog/2009/jan/30/easy-feature-building-spaces.

I follow everything, got a view, context, etc. When I go to enable the feature at mysite/spaces/feature - I get the error

Access denied
You are not authorized to access this page. 

Have no idea why. Have attached an export of the context below:

$items[] = array (
  'namespace' => 'spaces',
  'attribute' => 'feature',
  'value' => 'blog',
  'node' => 
  array (
    'blog' => 'blog',
  ),
  'views' => 
  array (
    'blog' => 'blog',
  ),
  'spaces' => 
  array (
    'label' => 'Blog',
    'description' => 'site blog',
    'menu' => 
    array (
      0 => 
      array (
        'title' => 'My Blog',
        'href' => 'blog',
      ),
    ),
    'types' => 
    array (
      'site' => 'site',
    ),
  ),
  'block' => 
  array (
    'user_3' => 
    array (
      'module' => 'user',
      'delta' => '3',
      'region' => 'right',
      'weight' => '12',
    ),
    'user_2' => 
    array (
      'module' => 'user',
      'delta' => '2',
      'region' => 'right',
      'weight' => '11',
    ),
    'comment_0' => 
    array (
      'module' => 'comment',
      'delta' => '0',
      'region' => 'right',
      'weight' => '10',
    ),
  ),
);

The context itself works, I just cannot get to the features page that the tutorial says I should be able to get to. Any ideas anyone?

Cheers,

Hi All,

I found some time tonight to have a walk through the tutorial over at https://community.openatrium.com/documentation-en/node/449.

I have taken the steps in the tutorial and used it to create my own, albeit basic feature that works sitewide or in OG. The feature is simple, a blog that could be used sitewide and/or on groups. Yes I know there is a blog module and there is a demo blog as well, but I wanted to start simple.

So the tutorial works fine. The only issue I have is, having the feature as both sitewide and OG, if I decided I wanted to turn the feature off sitewide, I get a problem. I go to the site home page, click on features, and disable the blog. Now the homepage comes up "access denied." Why?

Cheers,
Nick
