Deprecated - Social software and communities

So with the help of Drupal I'm trying to build up a social network site and of course you will run into Organic Groups and Buddylist.

Since I'm new to Drupal I have some questions about these modules that you guys just might be able to answer.

Organic groups is a module that allows you and the users to create a group in which users can come together and create their own webpage and exchange user information and be able to easily see who belongs to the group of friends and so on. This group is a social network on it's own and the users form a group of friends as you would see in normal life.

Buddylist allows an user to add another user to his buddylist and is then better able to follow that buddy. It makes it easier to see the profile of the users to see if new content is added. The buddylist is not really a social network in the sense that there isn't a gathering, the users just browse the website on their own.

Both modules aren't really related. A buddylist does not consist of all the members in a group and the members of a group aren't all ones member list. They do show some kind of overlap since both group your friends to make it convenient for the user to check up on his/her friends.

Hello,

Any one can u help me? I am install buddy list module. in this two tabs existed(buddies, buddy lists).

How to add another tab in this section. and also add the checkboxes list of all budies.

Hi guys,

I am using node vote module. I wonder if I could use highest rated nodes block but not as a block, but a VIEW as a page. So far I do not even how to start, so any help would be really appreciate.

Anyone knows about converting from a block to a view as a page?

Thanks all you guys in advance.

Drupal 5.1x. Everythings working beautifully, but...

I have just enabled OG and required views and view rss modules. Have tried to figure out what it wants to configure OG to show up when clicking the Groups link. It directs to http://www.xxxxdomain.com/og (true domain name removed for security here), but returns a Page not found.

Greatest confusion is correctly setting up required Organic groups configuration with section Group home page / Presentation style / Group home page node types: *

--------------------
Pick a View for your group home page. Only Views whose names start with og_ghp_ are eligible. The View determines the layout of your home page. You may alter the presentation using usual the usual Views themeing techniques. Also see the Theme section of the OG README file.
--------------------

Readme file says:

THEMES
------------------
You may wish to stylize nodes which have properties assigned by this module.
--- public vs. private posts are denoted by $node->og_public
--- group assignments (if any) are to be found in $node->og_groups. this is an array of nids. the group names are in $node->og_groups_names.
--- you may wish to omit the node author and time if we are showing a group home page. also consider not showing node links for these nodes since they just add clutter.

how would someone stop a person who is banned but changes their ip and rejoins under a different login.

this person is persistant and just rotates their ip after each ban. how would we deal with this person?

ps. I hope that i have not posted in the wrong forum. if i have I apologise in advance.

Im fairly new to drupal but have been able to find my way around for the most part.

I am having some trouble. I need to create a rss feed that will display the latest 3 blog posts from the drupal site im working on, soo I can then have another website read it.

Thanks in advance,
