Drupal 6.x

OGUR Settings Page

Only users with role ('administer og_user_roles') may configure this module.

Go to Administer >> Organic Groups >> Organic groups user roles:

(Note: Don't forget to click on "Save configuration" button to save your choices.)

• Assignable roles

  Check the box next to each role you wish group admins to be able to manage. Make sure you have assigned the appropriate privileges to roles selected here. Note that because these will be assignable by non-site admins, you should be conservative in what permissions you give (maybe 'create' permissions on a special node type, etc.)

  Again, whatever roles you select here, when they are assigned to a user in a group, that user will only have the permissions of that role while he is within the context of the group in which he is assigned the role. When he is outside of that group's context,
  he will no longer have this role.

• Permissions table for users with 'configure restricted member roles' permission. (6.x and higher)
  

OG User Roles 4.x

The 4.x branch version of OG User Roles (OGUR) is a rewrite of the module for efficiency and speed. Much of the additional features, things that integrated OGUR with other modules, had been impeding the functionality and speed of the original module.

The plan for the future is to move OGUR integration with other modules into OGUR-dependent modules that can be enabled or disabled as need be. Currently, the 4.x version of the module only includes the functionality that the module originally had and does not include the "bonus" features like integration with other modules. See this node for the original discussion that prompted the rewrite.

Please refer to the project page for further, up-to-date information.

The rest of these handbook pages only affect earlier versions than 4.x.

OG User Roles 6.x-1.x and 5.x-3.x

Imagecache is a module that lets you make different sized alternatives of the same images. It requires an image manipulation library such as GD2 or ImageMagick and requires clean urls to be enabled. You can use imagecache with any image uploaded to Drupal, so you can use it with Image module as well as normally uploaded images using the Upload module, but the most common way is to use it with CCK and Imagefield.

View a screencast on using Imagefield and Imagecache.

One useful example is in a community site with many users. Users could upload a user picture that is for example, a 240 pixel square. This may work great for user profile pages, but say you want to make some views of users in specific groups - 240 x 240 pixels may be too big for a view that lists of dozens of people. On these views you may want to make the pictures smaller - 120 x 120 pixels for example. Image cache gives you a way to accomplish this without having to manually resize each image.

A number of modules and methods exist for adding images to your Drupal site. This is a general overview of some of these modules and methods. They are arranged in order difficulty — difficulty for content creators as well as Drupal site builders. Note: for information about managing accessible images in Drupal, see the handbook page on Managing images and media for accessibility.

1. Not difficult

These methods are easy for content creators as well as Drupal developers.
