Would be great to see drupal commons distro use the Domain Access this module ecosystem

Give groups their own domain's?

If I understand correctly, it sounds like you're proposing that Drupal Commons support the Domain Access module? That's not an issue for the module where you've posted this issue, which is designed just to provide a bridge between Domain Access and Organic Groups permissions.

Sounds like a Drupal Commons feature request, if this isn't already supported in Drupal Commons. Redirecting to that issue queue.

I think it can be done easily with http://drupal.org/project/subdomain - it has this functionality out of the box.

Updating title.

this sandbox seems to the Domain Access to OG Bridge module of choice

Domain access is a huge and complex module. Are we need so complex solution, when simple module defining just one new token is quite enough?

I agree with CryAngel's logic.

I haven't looked at Babbage's og/da bridge module yet, but I think the best approach would be to identify if/why the subdomain module won't resolve the problem.

If it's not sufficient, then look further into Babbage's da/og bridge module.

Cry Angels is correct in that domain access is complex. It actually mirrors a lot of the relational logic OG has, which would lead to a great potential of domain access relations getting out of sync with og relations. For example, domain access also has a table entry for each domain, and an association of users and content to that domain.

Maybe Babbage can chime in to speak to this since he's been in the trenches with it.

I haven't looked at the code, but here's a 6.x module that looks to use a very specific approach to the problem as well: http://drupal.org/project/og_domain . It might be another source for ideas.

there is also the D7 implementation of OpenScholar which uses Spaces and Purl I believe to give groups unique identities and domains.

btw, I am told that the D7 version of OpenScholar is running production at Harvard and the release is real soon now
