As far as I can see this module lacks Audience check-box control on OG posts.

I've implemented that feature in my module, so perhaps you can port it in this module.

I agree, this would be an excellent addition to the defaults module. In the meantime I have gone back to miraclestyle's module but would prefer a released module for when we go live!

Are the og_defaults and unofficial og_forms_control modules planning to merge?

As far as I could tell og_defaults lacks only the above mentioned feature. Otherwise it contains most of the functionality needed. The difference is that I have implemented my own settings' forms for setting up the variables, while the author of og_defaults achieved the same thing by altering the node type configuration forms. However, my opinion is that the real solution for the desired functionality should be implemented at the OG module itself. What both of these modules do in essence are the alterations of OG forms which is kinda analogous to demolishing walls in a newly build house in order to change interior, whereas the same interior could be arranged during the building process!

Yes, I also noticed there are just a couple of differences; controlling the audience check boxes and the description field visibility, and the extra user permissions to allow configuring visibility and overriding of settings by privileged users.

Personally, I like the og defaults UI and wonder if other features might be considered and added to it.

I have no problem with adding this feature.

@miraclestyle: Would you have any issues with me using some of your code, or at least borrowing some inspiration from it?

@Kale: be my guest, and use everything you consider of being useful. Shall I figure out any new useful features I will share the code for your module here in the issues queue.

Cheers.

@Kale, looking forward to it.

Also there is this discussion on hiding audience check boxes on edit, http://drupal.org/node/252030. My understanding of that issue may not be correct but it appears the suggestion could cause problems for sites where users need to be able to assign posts to multiple groups.

I also took a very quick look at the og_access_admins module and it seems to do just that, i.e. changes audience visibility to eliminate cross posting to other groups. When enabled you have no choice. Again not a feature needed on some sites. The name of the module doesn't really say what it does and suggests it might do more. Maybe it too is a candidate to merge with og_defaults if this feature is added as an option only for those who need it.

Unfortunately, I didn't experiment with the approach miraclestyle uses as I had no need so I don't know how it differs and if it already does this in a way that allows sites to be configured to either restrict posts to a single group or not as desired.

Sorry to reactivate this thread.
Is there a possibility to not only hide the audience-checkbox, but also set the "public" checkbox as a default?
