I'm pretty new to this (but making great headway) on a pretty ambitious project using organic groups. I'm trying to put a menu in the og homepage that allows for you to add different types of content to the site. I can't seem to get the link I code into the node-group.tpl.php to correctly assign the audience to the new node. Without this feature, the user-friendliness of the project goes out the window. I've tried adding gids[]=$gid, but it returns with no audience selected. I read somewhere that the group nodes themselves have no gid. Is this a fatal problem? Is there a workaround? I should note that the bar itself is flash. It works, but the url doesn't assign the audience with that addition.
