Groups.drupal.org

Hello Team,

I recently noticed that
You can no longer easily change your email notification types.
For example:
I want to follow a discussion or a certain group, or a city far away,
I'd like to get notification for discussions, but I don't like to get notifications about local events.

There use to an easy way to change the notification settings in "My account" section,
"Notification" tab
"* Edit your notifications settings" area
You can just uncheck the "event" for a certain group,

But now that function seems disappeared.

And replaced by

Due to a hot discussion at: http://groups.drupal.org/node/69348 I noticed that the use of word "Manager" in local groups is generating so much confusion. Some people thinks that is a position of privilege and power, also as door open to abuse of power, etc. Also, when somebody creates a group: http://groups.drupal.org/node/add/og, there is any advice regarding local groups and the role that a "Manager" has.

Please may we define what exactly are the powers of a "Manager" and rethink about this word? can we use another more accurate?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Apologies if this is a known issue, but a search didn't uncover it.

I find the behavior of the "Group Categories" block on the right quite odd. As I move from one group to another it frequently shows the taxonomy for a group other than the one I'm clearly in. Sometimes (frequently) it is a group I was recently in. Sometimes (occasionally) it is a group I've never been in (and pretty sure I never read a post from).

This is definitely a functionality issue as a number of groups use taxonomy to good effect.

I've just been talking with greggles on IRC after some changes I made to Vote Up Down module for g.d.o:
http://drupal.org/node/781546

He asked if I had any other suggested improvements, and this is the result (check the images) of one train of thought:

Benefits:
-Voting widget is visible at all stages of reading a comment (no need to scroll back to top of long comment to cast a vote)

-Vote count always visible

-Will allow for collapsing of content area for -n voted comments but would still show title and author and votecount

Other possible additions:

At today's DrupalConSF sprint, Greg and I made a number of updates to bring the latest and greatest versions of our favorite modules to GDO. This includes the shiny new OG Panels 2.0 release (many thanks to jimthunderbird for getting that release out!) and a number of other under-the hood updates which will help us build and deploy more content and group features going forward.

Please use this thread to post any issues you see with the site.

In order to reduce junk mail coming to me I have set:

smtpd_sender_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unverified_sender

in the file:

/etc/postfix/main.cf

BUT NO-REPLY@groups.drupal.org is a non-existent email address so it gets rejected.

Would it be possible to create NO-REPLY@groups.drupal.org as a real address? Perhaps it gets blackholed on the g.d.o. server.

Any other ideas?

Cheers Daniel

Hi!

I've looked elsewhere and it looks like this might be the best place to get a response and discussion on this.

I've set up organic groups for an online gaming community. When they register their group it creates a basic info summary page about their group.

I'd like to keep the page/story content types enabled so their members (or leaders) can create that additional content. However, I'm experiencing difficulties trying to sort the content so that their initial page (info summary page) that they created upon group registration is permanently at the top of their group page.

I am a Drupal newbie who has been trying to find others who have similar interests to mine. Since I am looking for people with specific interests, I was looking through Working Groups.

Unfortunatly, it appears that

1. many Groups are dead (no postings for months or even years)
2. the structure of group pages is confusing at best

It may be that I am new and simply do not understand the sturcture of Drupal groups. I see the ability to create Discussions, Wikis, Proposals, Events, etc., but I don't see any effective way to find anything that has gone before in a Group. I am hoping there is a well structured overview of all that has, is and will be going on in the group and that I simply do not know how to get there.

Because I don't know what is where, I would like to describe what I believe would be an effective structure for a group (note, more a working group than a geographic group).
