Having trouble with Organic Groups module for large viral website

I have a comment and a few questions concerning the Organic Groups module. First I’d like to say that Organic Groups is a brilliant idea/module and has huge potential. But as I’ve begun to implement it, I’ve been having some headaches. If you are building a large viral site, allowing users to create communities and content types for public use, you start running into many frustrating issues with content management within the group structure. These issues affect the usablility and effectiveness of your site and in turn, lose your visitors’ interest (if you know internet marketing, you know that if your visitor has think, they’re gone). I’d like to progressively share the issues I’ve been having and hopefully find a solution to each.

  • Situation: An authenticated user clicks to create a new group > node/add/og is printed > I do not want to allow the user to create a group website address (I want my website to be their website) > I do not want to let the user choose subscription requests (I default them to “open”).
  • My Feature Request: Have more in-depth options under administer>settings>og to be able to configure the visibility on these sections. (I'll submit this to the proper channel.)
  • My Resolution Attempt: I have little PHP experience. The only thing I could think of to hack this was to delete lines 955 & 963 in og.module. And yeah… it didn’t work, the code kept reproducing itself and I can’t figure out why without a BS in programming:-) Please help!

Category module sends container back to navigation :(

Hi again everyone. I using the category module and I think I may have run into a bug. I've created a category called "User Menu" which is seperate from Navigation, and it has it's own block. Well the problem is that when I update a category, in this case "CMS Settings", it puts "CMS Settings" back into navigation. Now I can force CMS back to User by going into the advanced category settings. It just gets repetitive having to go back in there and keep resending it to the correct menu.

Changing the attribute of a post in more than one way all at once.

Hello all. I have users who make regulate posts(pages) to my drupal site. The posts they make are moderated and so arent put up on the site right away. They require approval. Is there an easy way to change drupal so it automatically takes the post out of the moderation queue and at the same time(not in two steps) publish to the from. I would like to be able to streamline the process for efficiency.

Adding information to existing blocks

Hello all,

I want to be able to add data to existing blocks, such as the Active topics, and Recent Comments block, to show things like the breadcrumb for the topics and the comments, and the user who last posted to the topic, and who posted the comment.

Is there a way this can be done, like adding inline tags to the template files or something? I have a working knowledge of PHP, but would rather not hack any core code (want to remain easily upgradeable) if I can help it.

Thanks!

login problems when default front page set to term id

We have a strange problem where the login submit form doesn't accept a username and login.

This site is one of several we're driving with one install (using sites/settings.php multisite config). It also happens that we're setting the default front page of this site to a specific category term id.

When we attempt a login the url changes from to /termid/?destination=

fyi we can still log in fine using /?q=user. Is anyone seeing any new multisite issues with 4.7?
