openscholar

We still don't have a released version of D6 and yet D7 is on its way. Is there any clear upgrade path from D6? Since we're waiting for latest D6 release, do you think it worth the hassle of upgrading to D7?

Please share your upgrade experience

Somehow in the process of updating or migrating my OS installation, something must have gone wrong with the permissions: no matter which user I'm logged in with (including user with admin and manager privileges), when I try accessing the control panel for a site I get a "You are not authorized to access this page." message. The only item on the control panel that I can access is the "Content" tab. I've tried various tweaks in the permissions settings but none have been successful. Does anyone have suggestions?

Apologies if this is an excessively newb-ish question, but: Is it possible to create multiple sites with the same owner? I just tried to create a second site on a test installation of OS, and the system wouldn't let me because my email address is already associated with a site.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Yesterday I downloaded the latest version of the openscholar distribution, installed it successfully, and encountered and (temporarily) solved the issue of the myriad error messages sent out.

I have now encountered a problem which made me give up last time I attempted to instal openscholar. maybe someone can help.

openscholar is installed in a subdirectory of the web root (http://mysite.com/openscholar).

When a user creates their own website, everything seems to work ok and they create a site at http://mysite.com/openscholar/user1.

Hi,

I just got OS installed on Dreamhost. I got the welcome page (with the "Get your site now!" link) more or less successfully (a few warning messages), and I created a new site called "projects."

But now there are a couple of problems. First, when I go to the root web site (mydomain/openscholar/), I don't seem to get the administrator options -- just a page with the intro video and a button saying "Go to my site." Second, when I click that button (the link is mydomain/openscholar/content/projects), I get redirected to mydomain/projects, which throws a "404 Not Found" error.

I've been trying to install the current version of OS on a Windows 7 PC using XAMMP (so I can test it before recommending it to my institution). But I've been having a LOT of trouble getting it to install -- mostly fatal errors due to missing files or settings.

We're implementing OS and after successfully setting up and theming 1 profile, we started creating more and pre-populating them with publication data.

After more profiles were created, all new content is no longer associated with the correct scholar site or organic group. True for bios, publications, whatever. They all show up in the content list, but not in the site. On inspecting the data, the nodes aren't getting placed in the og_ancestry table. If this mysql entry is inserted by hand the content will show up fine.

How to disable editing of fields like Site Title, Description in the Site Info widget in "Layouts" section of "Site Building" tab of user's Control Panel?

Can anyone explain the different user roles in the Scholar installation of OpenScholar?

Who is an administrator? UID 1? or anyone who wishes to do whatever UID 1 can do? Can I use just UID 1 to administer the OS installation or should i create a new user and assign him "administrator" (like we use sudo in linux instead of root account)?

Who is a manager? How is he different from scholar admin?

And who is a scholar user?

What is the procedure to configure openscholar such that a set of features are enabled by default and is it possible to disable a feature all together?
