OG Forum

rconstantine - May 12, 2006 - 16:34

Creates a forum per organic group and restricts viewing forum nodes by group membership.

Currently being developed and maintainted by Paul Booker @ Glaxstar.
Many thanks to Glaxstar for their continued support of Drupal projects.

Use the 2.1 release - if you can, please try the DEV release since it is loaded with new features; I need to know if it all works as advertised before tagging a 2.2 version.

New features (dev):

  • Various settings for the publicity of your forums; automatic based on nodes' settings, set by group owner, set by those with permission, all public, etc.
  • Limit number of forums per group

Features:

  • OG forum and regular forums work together
  • Retroactively add forums to existing groups
  • Optionally place all forums in one container rather than their own
  • Set the name for the default forum that each group gets

Notice: MySQL 5 is REQUIRED due to the use of nested queries. A 4.x solution has been posted to the issue queue, but will not be added to the project. So if you need, it, try it out.

Be sure to setup regular forum module BEFORE installing og_forum. See the README (in dev version) for setup details.

NOTE: There is a modification (three lines worth) to add to OG included in the new README (in dev version) to make sure group forum posts are correctly associated with your groups!

Contact me via my Drupal profile if you'd like to hire me to set this module up, modify it for your particular use, or other Drupal/PHP work.
