Responsibilities

A way for OG group administrators / members to "feature" (in the real meaning of the word) some general content from other areas of the site, making it appear in group views with the content from that group. New table would be nid, gid, and timestamp when node was featured; the last field would be the one accessible to views.

CIMBA is a university based in Asolo, Italy that grants MBA's to students from all over the world. Due to the distance between the different student groups, planning, coordinating, and building the alumni network has proved challenging. Our alumni association membership is in the thousands, however the membership groups are spread out between the multitude of social media networks out there, such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and (hold your breath) Twitter.

GoingOn (http://www.goingon.com/) is actively seeking Drupal developers who can create high quality modules for our platform. We are building upon a Spaces, Features and Organic Groups system, so much of the work we will contract out will be building og_spaces compatible features and any modules necessary to drive the feature. We're building a social e-learning platform on Drupal where many of the features will be social, collaboration and education focused.

Hi Everyone:

So I know of some well-known organizations and companies who are using Drupal for their community child sites and/or primary sites. However, I am just curious to know of some particular enterprise sites that are 1) using Drupal and 2) may have a user population anywhere from 500 - 10,000+. I'm trying to compile a list to show that Drupal can be used to archive information secure for a large online and active audience.

Thanks.

Hi Aussie Drupalers,

I'm an old-school web designer, turned Wordpress tragic, that now finds herself wrangling a team of volunteers on a Drupal project. Woohoo! We've made great progress on the project so far, but are now looking for a bit of extra help, so I thought I'd put the word out here (hope that's ok).

ABOUT US...
Project Australia, a not-for-profit organisation helping people get their socially-focussed ideas off the ground - http://www.projectaustralia.org.au. At the moment the work is volunteer only, but this may change in the future.

WHERE WE'RE AT...
Functionality is pretty well specified and documented.
We've got Drupal up and running. Sign up, and ideas submission are pretty much done.
Modules in use so far include stuff like Organic groups, Panels, Location, Google Maps.

Hey everyone,

I am "burning" my OG feeds with the Feedburner module. I'm hoping there is a way to get the burned feed to show automatically on the associated OG pages. Here are the issues I'm running into:

-The Feedburner block will list every Feedburner feed, but I'd like it to only show one feed per group.

-The Group Notifications block shows only one group feed per page, but it is the original RSS feed. In other words, it isn't showing the "burned" feed for that group.

Hi,

I'm trying to use Feed API to create OG nodes. I'm able to create the nodes, but they aren't showing up as OG nodes.

I've been going back and forth on this for 8 hours, so I can't even remember half of the settings I've tried to make this work. Rather than posting all the info here, I'd be willing to pay someone with more experience using FeedAPI and OG to go in and make the necessary adjustments. Then I will figure out what step(s) I was missing and I'll post it so it will hopefully save someone from the headaches I just gave myself.
