Summary / conclusion

In order for content create links to be available, you need to
- install entityreference_prepopulate
- On each of your group content types, edit the group reference fields to enable prepoplute

Original support request

Greetings:

After some trial and error I have a basic install on 7.x-2.x that is working fine, except that I cannot find a way to get the "Content Create Links" panel plugin to render anything within my panel.

I've added the plugin, and under settings I have:

Node: Node being viewed
Field name: Groups Audience (og_group_ref)

and I have experimented with the checkboxes for each content type (all unchecked, and I've tried checking explicit content types)

I have also set permissions at admin/config/group/permissions.

Yet even as user 1 I cannot get the Content Create Links to appear when added to my panel layout.

Is this a bug, or a missing feature from 7.x-2.x?

Or, am I missing some obvious step? As I mentioned everything else appears to be functioning correctly.

Thanks!

Title: Missing Content Create Links » Content Create Links not available to Panels

Is there anybody out there testing the 7.2 dev branch that can at least confirm whether or not the Content Create Links panel is working for you?

I'm still not sure whether I have a setting wrong, or if this functionality simply isn't working yet on this branch.

Did you install entityreference prepopulate module?

Aha, thank you. I did have entityreference prepopulate installed and enabled, but for another module I am writing. In this case:

a) it is obvious now, but I wasn't aware this was an OG 7.2 requirement (not listed on release notes)

b) as such, I didn't even think to enable on my og reference fields.

For those who may need it:

1. Install and enable http://drupal.org/project/entityreference_prepopulate

2. On each of your group content types, edit the group reference fields to enable prepoplute

Now your Content Create Links should appear correctly in your panel.

Thanks again (and I should mention that I thoroughly enjoyed your DrupalCon Denver talk, especially your awesome storytelling at the start.)

Hi,

You may have to update the Content Create links panel if is restricted to specific content types. Thanks, Jason.

Mm, it's not really working in my case....

PS: i got it working, to be honest without understanding whay... this whole OG v2 stuff is still to encrypted to be understood :-(

Is there a Wiki manual or so somewhere?

Cheers

Had the same issue and #3 worked for me. I agree with the suggestion that entityreference prepopulate module should be listed as a requirement for OG 7.2 on the module page. Would have saved me a couple hours trying to troubleshoot this going form 7.1 to 7.2.
