Community discussions around Open Publish distribution.
OpenPublish is a packaged distribution of Drupal, that has been tailored to the needs of today's online publishers. OpenPublish is ideal for the implementation of a variety of media outlet's sites including: online magazines, newspapers, journals, trade publications, broadcast, wire service and membership publications. Built and supported on standard Drupal core (currently Drupal 6x), OpenPublish features support everything from basic news coverage needs to Web 2.0 trends, social publishing, semantic tagging and topic hubs. Each component bundled in the distribution is well supported, documented and modularly designed according to Drupal's architecture.

Important note: in order to fix consistency issues and critical bugs, in a timely manner, OpenPublish had to patch some third-party modules included in it. It's not recommended to independently update those. More information at: http://groups.drupal.org/node/60313
Display articles by author broken
I'm running the most recent version of OP distribution on D7. I've updated all the modules and core manually because of the lag time between the last distribution update and now.
The block/box we were using to display articles specific to an author on the authors profile doesn't seem to work anymore. No matter what variation of contextual filters and relationships I can't get the block to display articles by the author. Obviously you can't make a block for each individual profile on the site.

What's the status of the project?
It seems that everything has gone quiet since October.
Are there still plans to release a full distribution? Can we expect many changes?
Is anyone familiar with the web widgets module?
I'm just wondering if anyone here has used the web widgets module being developed by Phase II technologies on a Drupal 7 site? (http://drupal.org/project/web_widgets)
It's still in the alpha stages, but I wanted to see if someone could share their thoughts on its use. Being able to export content from a Drupal site via embedable widgets would have lots of value for a news site.
Does it worked well?... Is it easy to export/embed?... How is the styling was handled?..., etc...
Thanks.
Create articles from Feed
I'm creating an online newspaper with the latest version of OpenPublish. I'm not clear how to create articles from a feed. The documentation and tutorials that I've seen seem to apply to OpenPublish 1.0. Can someone direct me to the applicable documentation for this feature ?
What happend to doc?
When I try to reach http://openpublishapp.com/doc/ it returns a 502 proxy error. Is there any other alternative destination from where I can get access of documentations?

Whats up with the documentation and community support
I have been trying to get an openpublish site up and running literally for years. Its confusing, and powerful. When I go to the website and click community, its not actually community, its a directory of documentation thats hard to navigate, missing images, and incomplete to say the least.
Read moreDear Phase2 -- Build Some Premium Themes Plz
There are hyperlocal journalists all over the country (world?) starting community websites like mine.
But Gazette is hideous. Very few small town publications have the ability to hire a company to do all their site architecture and make custom themes -- Trustworthy companies want $2,000 to $10,000 for this.
On the other side of the spectrum, premium themes range from $29 to $79... but they don't have things like ready-made standard advertising holes and all the other stuff a publisher needs.

Moving to Open Publish
I work for a mid-sized UK publisher wanting to move from a proprietary CMS to OpenPublish. I am looking for a company - ideally in the UK - that can help us plan and execute this transition. All suggestions welcome.
OpenMagazine anyone: or collaboration/multisite for journals
Hi all,
Anyone up for a collaboration to build a multisite for small- to mid-sized journals?
Let me explain.
OP2 did a marvelous job for me way back. I showed the possibilities and what one can achieve with Drupal. In my case this resulted in a website that has a complete archive of a literature journal, with author-controlled biographies, blogs, events... and hopefully soon an e-shop (cf. Ubercard), mobile webapp (cf. Services), metadata-standards based exports (MarcXML, MODS), archival/preservation (cf. exports to Internet archive)...

I can have Drupal 7.18 installed at my server, but I thought that it would a Drupal core site not OpenPublish distribution.

I downloaded OpenPublish (openpublish-7.x.1.0-beta7-core.zip), unzipped it and transferred the whole content to the server. I created a database with the admin user and open the site on the browser.

Hello There!
I am getting ready to install OpenPublish for the first time and this is my first Drupal installation ever. I was using OJS; this afternoon I learned about Drupal E-Journal and tonight I discovered Drupal OpenPublish. I want to publish initially one single journal and need to be able to create DOI for each article and metadata information to submit to OCLC.
My first question: 1) Do I need to install module E-Journal on to OpenPublish distribution?
