Organic Groups and Views 2

Hi gpk,

I am looing into that. I was hoping that there would be a simple way. Is this something that needs to be raised and integrated as a feature into OG or Views? I know other people have raised this very problem before and none, to my knowledged, have published a working solution.

Cheers,
Nick

Hi gpk,

If you are referring to the "View Type" when you create the view, I only have "Node", there is no "Group". I may be misinterpreting what you are asking, if so I appologise.

Hi ludo1960,

Confusing, you aint kidding. When I set out to do this I thought i would be easy. Some one did say (elsewhere) jsut use url_alter and sub_path_alter (not sure of the exact name of the latter) but nothing. Anyway what I have done, from scratch is (NOTE YOU ALSO NEED Views Custom Field module installed):

1. Create a view (node type).
2. Add a page display
3. Set the path to "groups/%/whatever"
4. Add a relationship - "Organic groups: Group node (post)"

5. Add an argument
5A. Add an argument - "Node Title"
5B. Set the relationship of the argument to "Group node (post)"
5C. Set "CASE" and "Case in path: " to "Lower case"
5D. Put a tick in the "Transform spaces to dashes in URL" box.

6. Add the fields and filters that you need for your view. Anything you like...

7. Add in an attachment view
8. In the attachment:

a) Remove all the fields (MAKE SURE YOU OVERRIDE DEFAULTS)
b) Add "Node: NID" and ensure it has a relationship to "Group node (post)" - this will link it back to the primary group node
c) Add a customfield (PHP TYPE) with the code:

<?php
if (!empty($data->node_og_ancestry_nid)) {
  $group_node = node_load($data->node_og_ancestry_nid);
  og_set_group_context($group_node);
}
?>

d) change "Items to display" to 1 (MAKE SURE YOU OVERRIDE DEFAULTS)

9. Save it and you are done...

That is all I ahve. I will post again in a bit with the export from my view, will allow you then just to import it directly and use that as a base. I would love for there to be an easier method, perhaps there is and we have all missed it!

As promised, the exported view:

$view->tag = '';
$view->view_php = '';

$view->api_version = 2;
$view->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default view disabled initially */
